Lori, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please don't hesitate if you need anything to call me. Call me when you get home. Jeff will be fine, please keep me informed the more you find out. I'm glad Mellisa is there to help you.

Cara has been really sick, back to the doctor's again, an infection has developed over the two shots she received, so she needs to be watched carefully over the next couple of days with her fever.

Many prayers are out for the ones I love..........

Love...............Later..............Rainbow

Merry Christmas everyone. I miss you all so much. I hope you can all stay warm in this crazy weather, we have a beautiful white Christmas right now it is snowing. The kids did well this morning they got up about 8:00am, we got to sleep in this year compared to our regular 6:00am mornings of the past. We had a nice Christmas Eve dinner, with Jared, Cara and Dylan, exchanged a few gifts watched the Christmas Shreck movie. Maddox is taking a quick snoozer, this morning was so much fun watching his excitement and just running around in the craziness of the wrapping paper. He got a Handy Manny tool box that makes musical noises and he loves it. Maureen Yzabella LOVES her hello kitty, I got a cute picture of her wearing the hello kitty hat. And Jurnee loves his Seahawks shirt. Thank- you. Cara I can't wait for our dinner tomorrow, I know you will be feeling better by then, and now I don't have to get out of my pajamas today until tomorrow, seriously I hope you are feeling better. Relax today get some rest and we will do it later tomorrow. Lori wow that was alot of snow you guys got, I knew you got alot but the pictures show ALOT of snow, very pretty. Well I love ya all Merry Christmas everyone.... Love...............Later..............Rainbow

Wow we have about 2 feet of snow today and it is still coming down, the neighbor snow plowed the driveway this morning with his four wheeler and now Manny's friend down the road is using his tractor to plow out the driveway again, but it sure is beautiful from inside the house. The kids have been playing out in it off and on all day, because it was warmer earlier. Cara was admitted to the hospital today, she has had more pains and trouble breathing. They ran a bunch of tests and it all came back good, but they want to keep her overnight to monitor her. She is a tough cookie and will be just fine by tomorrow, I believe they are going to change her meds again to see if that helps out. Dylan and Drew are having a sleepover. Pizza tonight followed up by making some cookies and then for the Christmas tree game they can play that until bedtime. Talking with Lori today she said that our friends from Australia are loving the snow and her husband Jeff (from Australia )has never actually seen a snow storm first hand and was shoveling snow out of the driveway for the first time. I thought that was kinda a neat experience for him I'm sure.

A lazy Sunday, we watched some of the Christmas movies they are playing on the TV and made popcorn in between meals, Kim we have been playing the cute Christmas tree game sent, the kids love it especially Yzabella we probably will be playing it until next year according to her anyways. Manny got home last night about 1:00am he said the roads were good until the Idaho border so the last 1 1/2hour was the hard part, but he is here safe. It looks like everyone is still getting quite a bit of snow, I blame Cara she is the one who wanted a white Christmas, whatever, white Christmas is one thing, but white OUT is another LOL, ya I know I'm hilarious. We took the kids to the dollar store and they picked out their gifts for us today, it was busy busy busy, but they had fun. I have all the kids this week so I need to think of some quick, fun projects to keep them busy and pass the hours by. Well hope everyone else is doing well. Love.............Later.............Rainbow

Christmas break has started!!! I had all the kids today, it was exciting, to cold and windy for them to be outside so we were in ALL day. Ha Ha !! Lot's of fun. I made taco soup, nice and easy and warm on cold days. Manny will start his drive home tomorrow after work. It looks like the drive will be yucky through at least two states, I just told him to drive slow and take his time, he has plenty of time. We are all ready for Christmas, everything is done that can be done. Love..................Later..............Rainbow

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. it's a cold one here. I'm glad I'm staying in today. The kids are not feeling well today e veryone was up last night with the yuks. Cara isn't feeling good either today, she is on her way back (its about 8:45am) I guess trouble breathing they switched her MEDS. Jurnee only has one day left of school and then they are on Christmas break , he's so excited he can barely stand it. I'm glad Mac and Maureen finally made it. That makes for a long trip. Manny says they are just sitting around at work waiting for the machines to show up, easy money I guess just sitting around waiting. Blog more later if anything exciting happens LOL!! And Kim I don't know who my surprise comment was from Mberenise??? Love..............Later................Rainbow

Well Manny made it to his destination last night about 11:30pm, that makes for a long day of driving by yourself considering he left at 8:30am. He had bad weather through two states yuk! And it seems like Mac and Maureen haven't made it to Kim's yet!? The sun is shining bright today. No complaints, but it is freezing (bad roads). Only eight more days until Christmas as the kids remind me on a minute basis, it always comes so quickly unless your under the age of eighteen then it drags forever. Kim or Kerry do you have Suzanne and Brett's address anyone?? I always called grandma to get it. I guess time to grow up and write it down next time I get it. I miss calling her and asking those questions though, she loved it when I would call and get addresses this time of year. (Even though she would give me a hard time LOL). OK Mac and Maureen safe travels again today. The Jehovah Witness came over again today, I enjoy talking to them, and loved showing off all my Christmas decorations LOL!! Everyone keep warm until ..............Later...................Love..............Rainbow
