Christmas party

Allison had such a blast at her school Christmas party. I had a friend watch Cooper for me since the note the teacher sent home said, no younger siblings in all caps! I had so much fun helping out at the party, and really enjoyed seeing Allison with her classmates. I just love her teacher, this has been the best semester!! Cant believe we are half through the first grade!

Ginger bread house

I forgot to add this post. This past Saturday the church had a ginger bread house decorating get together. People brought candy or cereal and the young women glued the house together and the kids got to decorate them!! I wasn't feeling well so Richard took the kids. I was surprised that he was gone for almost two hours, they must had alot of fun!!!

Guess What!!

Richard and I are expecting our third child! I was trying to hold off until next week to share. But, we were in town on Sunday to celebrate my sister's birthday my mom suggested I share the news with my youngest and oldest sister while we were all together. And since we were on a roll Richard had been dieing to share the news with his family. Then on Monday my sister tagged me on facebook and spilled the beans there! I wasn't up for sharing the news at all. I suffered a miscarriage in late August, which I have told no one about not even family. I guess its good to get that out, I was devastated. I was pretty hesitant to share our news just in case, but its out. We have an appointment next week and a sonogram too on Thursday!! I am 10 weeks right now, due July 7, 2012. I have been unbelievably sick, like the worst morning sickness I have ever had. Completely debilitating, so bad I rarely leave the house, just to take Allison to and from school. Richard has been Mr Mom cleaning, cooking, and grocery shopping etc. I literally couldn't have made it this far with out his help. I feel like I have let Christmas slide by my little family! I have usually done so many traditions by now. Heck I am not even done Christmas shopping! I mean I have finished my kids but not my in laws, or some of my family members. I am feeling a little better and hope that I can bring Christmas to the Sanchez house before we leave town a week from today!

Lunch and bowling!

We drove into Midland late Sunday to have dinner and go bowling with my family to celebrate my sister's birthday. Allison had a blast, she told me when we left the bowling ally that she would never forget this day! Also Miss Alli-cat got three strikes! Cooper on the other hand did better then the last time we bowled, but I couldn't snap a picture of him to save my life he kept dodging to the floor that stinker! Here are a few pictures from the day!

Snow Day!

Last week on Monday and Tuesday Allison had a three hour school delay because of the snow. We started the morning off with a huge breakfast! Then I bundled the kids up in there gloves, jackets, boots! They didn't last long outside, Cooper came running in because he said it was to cold. At least the got to enjoy the snow who knows if we will get any more.

Ice skating!

Of course we had to fit in a trip to the Odessa ice skating rink! All Allison could talk about all week was going ice skating. So Friday afternoon we traveled to Odessa and Richard and Allison ice skated for 2 hours!!!! Of course Cooper and I had our own fun shopping and eating pretzels.

Cousin Time

During the week we were able to spend a lot of time with my niece and nephews! We spent time at the Jumpy place, Chickfila, McDonald's, and we were even able to take the kids to the theaters to see Puss and Boots. Here are a few of the pictures from our adventures!
