Ammon Sterling Nichols Baby Blessing

Sunday, December 26 (My family)

I knew from the start our fussy Ammon would cry during his baby blessing.

It's taken this whole family to take care of him.

I think I am ready to admit he is a colicy baby!

Happy Christmas

I have not uploaded any of our pictured yet on a computer, so I just took some pictures from Melody's blog, thanks Melody! Here we are enjoying dinner at my brother's house. I can not believe how old their kids have gotten. We have teens now!

Here is Devin and Jarom with the rest of the kids eating at the table.

They sure love playing together.
Now we are in Tallahassee enjoying more family. We went to the mall today. It's great to be in a mall after a year and a half!

Merry Christmas to all!

I love Florida

We are here and loving the sunny skies and NO SNOW!!! If only the boys will not wake me up at 4:30 am tomorrow, I will be great! We have been window shopping all day today. I can not believe it has been one and a half years since being back home. Devin even forgot what Wal-Mart was! He remembered really fast! Everything is so much cheaper in the US. I can not wait to move back!

Vacation time is coming!

Well, it looks like we will get a true family vacation all together! My poor husband is making sure of it. He worked 19 hours yesterday, slept for 5 hours and went back to work today. He sure works hard for us. We sure love him. Devin was ready to go to work with Daddy to help so he could come on vacation with us, so cute.

Something else cute, Devin thinks we might miss our plane because Daddy "talks" to everyone! Devin is also worried Jarom might run off, so hopefully I have a little helper to watch Jarom.

I am about to get VERY upset!

Well, for the last several months Dane has been signing for tons of stuff and having to do inventory. His boss has already aproved Dane's leave for Christmas break for our trip to Florida. Now "the boss" is saying it has to be done before leave. Things are missing and it is just a big mess. I do not believe it will get all done in the very short time he has. He has been woring non-stop through lunches, Saturdays, and even this Sunday. I might have to go talk to his boss because I am not happy. I do not think I can handle all the boys on the plane by myself. Our house is full of STRESS right now. On top of it, Ammon is sick and me (mommy). Getting up all night with a sick baby does not help. I just prayer everything will work out some how!

Christmas parties!

In our house, the winter sickness has come! First Jarom got sick throwing up all night and goopy eyes the next day. After finally getting that under control, it's Devins turn. Here he is at Dane's work Christmas party yesterday, Thursday night. On a good note, he really behaves when he is sick! Let's just hope all this sickness is gone before our big trip.

Christmas party




Daddy and Devin went out one evening to shovel the snow. Devin wanted to make a snowman. This is what he made!

Saint Nicholas came to Mega Play (kids indoor play ground). He brought candy and toys.

Here is Devin waiting to see what everyone else gets. I do not know what I am going to do with that boy. He bugged them so much for more toys. When we were ready to leave, they gave me another "BAG" of toys to take home. He sure knows how to work the system! I am saving the bag of toys for our big airplane ride. Hopefully that will help me from going crazy!

Jarom was just happy with his candy!

I just prayer I can make it on our trip with Ammon. He has been crying a lot everytime he is tired which is all the time. I just hope I do not get to many rude comments on the airplane like the last time I flew. I am sure I will, Ammon is a screamer!

No more snow, please!

Here is the sign I have been seeing a lot lately!! We keep getting 2 hour delays for school and work, but Dane goes into work anyways. No more snow, please! If you look at the forecast on my blog, you will see snow for EVERYDAY this week :( The snow does not melt here. It just keeps getting higher and higher!

Here is a random picture I took of Devin "trying" to help around the house cleaning.

I needed to have evidence for the future, cleaning toliets! Maybe he will learn to flush the toliets more!

Here is my lastest bargin! I found this old German telephone bench. It is very heavy. I was very proud of myself since I went and got it all by myself and got it up one set of stairs. I had to let Dane bring it up one more set of stairs for me. I had to make him feel useful!
It is weird how all these German pieces are just coming to me. I really do not look hard for them. It must be because we are moving, and they just want to come to America, he he!

Friday

Here is how we get Jarom to go where we want him to go. Walks on the sled!

See all the snow??? Florida, I am ready to see you!!!!

It feels like Christmas now. I made my favorite "Thumb cookies" and pumpkin rolls.
