Hunter turned 10 on January 5. He had his party at Forest Hills bowling alley.There were at least 12 kids there and family. They got to bowl two games and had pizza and cake. He had his special friend, Max ,from school spend the night.Rob and I didn't get him a present until 20 minutes before the party. We were waiting to see what he wanted. We told him that if he wanted a xbox 360 He would have to pay 1/2.And that would mean handing over his birthday money and Christmas money. He wasn't sure he wanted to do that. When rob took him over to walmart, he decided that he would want the xbox and would pay his half.Then they relized the were all out. Hunter came home in tears.Rob said that the one we wanted to get him was 279.00 and wouldn't play his old ex-box games anyway.The one that was 379.00 would. No, that was way to much money. We were driving to the party . I can't go with out a present. We decided to get him the more expensive one . Rob dropped me off at the party. He ran to find it at the Game place next to Hollywood video.Rob left it in the car.so he wouldn't see it.After he opened all his presents, he said mom where is my present from you. Rob handed it to him. 
He was so happy. His friend and him stayed up until 3 am playing it.They wouldn't have stayed up so late had I been home. Before the party started, we received a call that my grandma was in the hospital. My dad said she wasn't doing to good. That my uncle had found her at home on the floor. Not today, dad. Its hunter's birthday please don't let her die today.After the party, I ran to the hospital. I ended up staying the night up there with my mom.She still wasn't doing to good. I came home and went up later that night. They took they ventilator out and she was breathing on her own.but she still had a oxygen mask on that she used at home. Talking and very alert.She was telling us all she loved us. She was shaking her yes and no when you asked her questions.I went to work Monday. But after work went right back to the hospital. She was still alert. But started asking my mom if she was going to die. It broke my heart.Tuesday at work, I got a call from my mom that grand ma didn't want the oxygen mask on anymore.So I went up the hospital.I said goodbye to her and that I loved her. Devin,Hunter,and karsen loved her. I told her hunter wanted me to give her a truck that he played with but it was really dirty. She laughed and said she loved us. She squeezed my hand.It was the saddest goodbye I've every had to say. Before she passed away, she asked the nurse for some hot coffee with cream and sugar. The nurse gave it to her and she drank it though a straw. I took the wed. off work. I just was exhausted and so so sad. Its a good thing I did because karsen started to run a fever 102.Thursday, I went into work. Gave karsen Tylenol. But left 40 minutes early to get him into the doctor. He had a double ear infection which hasn't healed since before Christmas.This is his third amoxacillin for it. At 7:00 that night, I meet my brother and sister to pick out flowers for the funeral. We got a real cute simple little white basket with flowers and a ribbon that said great grandma and from us grand kids we got a plant with peace lilies, white flowers,purpleflower and a ribbon that said grandma.After we got the flowers, I was on a misson. I called everyone to see if they had a picture of grandma and karsen for the photo board at the funeral. No one did. I was in tears.We were to all meet on Friday to get the photo boards done.I had a picture of grandma and all the kids. But I couldn't find one of her with karsen.Devin and I look though all the photos. We couldn't found one. Then we started to look though cd and there it was. Grandma holding karsen just a few days old. I 
cried!!! Thank god. I had that picture to put on the photo board. I would have been real sad if devin and hunters picture was on there and not karsen's.We all did the photo boards together most of the grandkids did there board and the siblings did a memory board just of her. It was nice being together and we all felt that we did something important for grandma.The funeral was Saturday.It was so sad. Today we spent grocery shopping, doing laundry, changing oil in the car, and delivering a birthday present that in the craziness got missed.
The weekend was a very busy one. Friday , I took down the tree.Yeah I finally have my living room back!!!Saturday, I spent the day grocery shopping . My brother and his wife came over to watch the ufc fight on ppv. Sorry I missed the scrap night but my man chuck liddell was fighting couldn't miss that!!and I'm happy to say he won!!We took the kids sledding. Karsen went for the first time he loved it!I love taking him to experience the new things now that his getting a little bigger!We spent the new year shovling snow, watching the ball drop which I didn't even make it up to see, and devin had Steph over. Those crazy kids spent almost 2 hours outside building a fort for them to crawl though 
They stayed up until 1:30. Silly kids. The first was spent taking down karsen crib and giving hunter back his old room, karsen will have devins room and devin will be moving back down stairs AGAIN!Karsen just needs his own space now and so does hunter. We will be busy with that again. painting and all! UGH!Well, once again I'm on my lunch break and need to head back to work but here is a quick word. Oh error in the last post I got a digital frame not camera. OOPS. anyway I love it!!
Hope everyone enjoyed the HOlidays. Santa delivered all the much wanted presents. Devin got her I pod, Hunter got His skateboard from zummies, and Karsen got so many toys.
Including a big wheel that makes cool noises. I got a digital camerea from rob. I really wanted that!!!
Karsen loved unwrapping the presents. Even with his double ear infections (that we can't seem to get rid of.)Poor baby.He hasn't been feeling to well. Teeth comming in, his ears and today his first day back to daycare he bit someone.Ugh!!! I'm on my lunch break and need to head back to work so sorry for the misspelled words(if any) no time for spell check!!!
He wasn't to sure about the snow but walked right through it and played.He played with play doe for the first time and tried to eat his art project. He thought the brown paint was a treat. He was a little sad when he discovered he couldn't eat it.He was actually rather mad.Devin and hunter start the Christmas vacation tomorrow. They are rather excited. Devin has been busy at dance every Tuesday.She takes tap, jazz, lyrical, and hip hop. They have been busy picking out costumes for their recital in June.I'm not looking forward to the bill on that. Hunter just isn't into taking any sports or being put on the spot light. Doesn't really want anyone to watch him do anything. Because of his anxiety. That's okay by me. I get to watch every great move he does on the football video games. Thank goodness for replays.lol.He is happy that he can beat his sister at every video game we have. We do get to watch him ride his dirt bike which he has way mastered since about 6 years old.Okay so as some of you may have notice I don't blog daily and maybe not weekly. Please don't take offense or complain it's not that I don't want to stay in touch with all of you its that I'm very busy. As all of you know, I now have a very much on the move toddler. Maybe after the holidays my blogs will be more frequent. but i doubt it. (Hey I'm honest.)I'm not really sure what to wright on here and sometimes I feel I'm rambling on about nothing. I know you time is as valuable as mine so I don't want to waste your time reading my blogs that say absolutely nothing of importance So I posted the things I found most important that happened thought the week.With that said,I hope everyone enjoys the holiday. Merry Christmas.
Our open house was a little slow because of the nice weather we had Saturday. It was announced over the TV that it was closed. However the notice was sent out late some of us still went to prepare for people that didn't hear the closing. We had about twenty people come.My uncles funeral was Tuesday. The kids handled it great. Hunter did very good even though I was so worried about him. I have been very busy trying to get all my presents bought. We finally got the tree up.I love to see all the kids ornaments they made though out all the school years. The love to see them, too. They try to guess how old they were when they made them. My camera is on the fritz so I won't be adding any photos soon.UGH!!!I'm not to sure what is wrong with it but I better have figured it out or purchased a new one beforeChristmas.karsen loves the mickey mouse (club house) Disney show. I bought him a mickey chair , singing mickey, a barking dog vacuum cleaner and those big print zip up hoodies just like hunters. I'm still looking for his BIG gift not sure what that will be yet. I'm looking for the perfect gift. I was thinking maybe he need a climber.
