Back to Basics!!!

Making sure our children have a secure future!!!

So as most of you know we trade in our GMC Yukon Denali for a Pontiac Montana Van. By doing this we no longer have a car payment and will be able to do more for our kids. This also relieved a Ton of stress off Ryan! I actually love my van it has a lot of the same upgrades as the Denali did.

DVD Player, Seat warmers, 6 disc CD player.....

It gets great gas mileage drives great has LOTS of room! We as so happy we made did this!! =)

Here is our new car!

The croup is NO Fun!

Poor Jack got the croup! Yesterday was the last day of his breathing treatments. Which he is so happy about! We had to do breathing treatments every 6 hours for 5 days. He did awesome with them! But glad to be done.

Here are some pictures of Jack doing his breathing treatment the 1st day!

Well lets see. Gillian is doing awesome with her potty training! Today was the 1st day she wore panties in public! She usually wears them during the day at home but I put a pull up on her when we go to the store or what ever. She did great today!! She loves to talk, sing and dance. Oh and to color doesn't matter if its in a coloring book, blank piece of paper or side walk chalk. This girl loves to color. She is a very busy active girl always on the move! She loves to look at books and be read too. Her favorite book right now is Once Upon a Potty. She also loves anything Princess or Little Einstein's.

Our Family Update!!!

January 2009

January was a fun and busy month! I had some major computer problems so that was one reason for my blogs stopping! =( But thanks to an External Hard Drive my wonderful Mother-in-Law got me and to Bob for re-building my computer I am up and running again! =)

We started out the month with a family trip to the Wildlife Zoo in Glendale AZ. We had sooo much fun!

Here are some pictures form our day!
