Christmas has come and gone! This year it was sooo much fun
to celebrate Christmas with little Tanner!! He enjoyed opening presents a lot
more than he enjoyed it last year. He
got so many fun toys and clothes, it’s just not even funny. That kid is so dang spoiled!! I pretty much
redid my kitchen and got all new Pioneer Woman gadgets. All three of us stayed in our jammies, literally
all day long and we enjoyed every moment of it!
We got to talk to Uncle Kendal (Nenal) and to be honest, no
offence Ken, but it just wasn’t the same.
I mean… I see his handsome face every Monday. Which I am so grateful for!! I guess this year
we just didn’t go all out like we did last year and put him on the TV and things
like that. He’s enjoying his
mission. They had a baptism last week! Little 9 year old Fabi got baptized. She is so cute! Kendal sent us a picture and
she’s doing little bunny ears on him and his companion.
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, then you know that
my kid is OBSESSED with Barney!! HOLY MOLY!! When T wakes up, the first thing
he says is “mama?”…the second thing—“Barn Barn?” He wants Barney turned on
first thing in the morning and first thing when he gets home from playing and
grammy or grandma Dawns house. It’s cute—but
also annoying. Oh well. He’s happy, I can make dinner and clean up
and do things I wasn’t able to do 4 months ago even because he had to be held
24/7. It’s a blessing and a curse.
On the 30th of December, Rich and Serra White
took Devin and I to a Utah Jazz game! ROW 2.
Y’all, we were right behind the clippers bench. Like, I probably could have touched Blake
Griffin if I had tried to. It was such a
blast!! That night got even better because my mom decided it would just be
easiest if Tanner slept over and then she’d watch him on her usual
Tuesday. WHAT?! JAZZ GAME AND SLEEP?! I
thought I had died and gone to heaven.
I bought myself a Gratitude Journal. I feel like I have had some negativity in my
life and I felt strongly about trying to find the positive in things this new
year. According to the journal, you’re
supposed to wake up and write in it three things that you are grateful
for. I decided to do it at night. That way I could experience my day, and good
or bad, find the joy in it. For example,
last night I wrote that I was grateful for sleepless nights, because it meant
that I had someone who needed me. I was
also thankful for Dr. Pepper and my energy ball bites. I’ll be able to look back on that day
specifically and see I clearly did not sleep well and needed all the energy I could
get. But I am grateful for those days!!
T woke up SEVEN TIMES and I was purely exhausted. The DP and energy bite saved my tired
soul. For that, I was very grateful
for. I’m really enjoying this and I haven’t
missed a day so far. We’ll see how it continues
to go!
I’ve got Tanner scheduled with his ENT again next week. This poor kid. He isn’t sleeping at all. As mentioned above, he is waking up NUMEROUS
times during the day. Poor kid, is just so
tired. Somedays you can see little bags
under his eyes and it just breaks my heart cause he’s so tired. I took him at the end of December and Dr. Robinette
said that his tonsils are ginormous (3+) and he assumes that his adenoids are
the same way. They wont take out his
tonsils until he’s 24 months old but might do the adenoids… I’m just hoping
that his appointment next week helps even a little bit.
That’s an update on our little family!
