Visiting Santa

Santa: "What do you want for Christmas Ben?"
Ben: "I want a wattlesnake."
Zach: Zzzzzzzzzzzz
Santa: "You want a red snake?"
Zach: Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ben: "No, I want a wattlesnake!"
Leah: " I think he said rattlesnake."
Santa: "Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas. Have a candy candy cane."

~ Yesterday, Ben wanted a turtle from Santa. Today it was a snake. ~ I have been working on teaching Ben his letters of the alphabet. Last night during bathtime, he was playing with his foam letters in the bath tub. I was telling him that S is for snake. That is the only explanation I can think of him wanting a snake for Christmas?

And yes, Pomegranate 7-Up is the BEST. I have a stock-pile of it in my storage room. So much for keeping off the holiday weight! :)

hey leah! those cinnamon rolls were pretty easy. I've tried a few different recipes and the one i like most is here

http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/truck-stop-cinnamon-rolls?autonomy_kw=truck%20stop%20cinnamon%20rolls&rsc=header_1

the only changes i made were to put them closer together in a large pan not on a cookie sheet and to bake them for a little less time. I like mine just lightly golden brown and soft! the frosting is just a stick of butter and a package of cream cheese, soften in the microwave and beat with powdered sugar to taste (sooo fattening but soooo worth it!) haha!

have fun! post some pics of the outcome!

love you!

You are one heck of a blogger. I'm sure it is so appreciated by daddy though. What a sweet little sleeper in Santa's arms. I love how many Christmas outfits you have for him! And love the gingerbread house:)

Leah,
I love the rattlesnake story. It is great your kids would sit on his lap for a nice picture. Nicole just screams, even though she is very excited about Santa coming to town. She is asking for toys and candy. No snakes here. I love her request, very nonspecific. Easy to please.

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...
