"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."

Wyatt and I have graduated from the 3-footer tree on top of our table from last year, to this...


Although it still looks like a 3-footer on top of the car, this one actually stands on the ground!


Wyatt's stepmom, Mickie gave me this great idea to string popcorn and cranberries.  I had never heard of this before, so I thought I'd give it a go, not realizing how long it would actually take me to make.  (In case you were wondering, for a tree that's not even 5 feet tall, it took 8-9 feet of popcorn and cranberries!  It ended up looking so cute, though.  I was even able to pick up two cardinal ornaments while shopping with Mickie while on our trip to Yreka.  They looked great!

Wyatt put up almost every ornament from his childhood on this tree.  Geez!  If I knew he'd do that, we should have gotten a 7-footer!  I let him know that we had a lot more Christmases together and he could save some for another year.  Hahaha.  I didn't need to buy too many more oraments because he had so many!


The tree looked fabulous.  As soon as we were done, McKayla took her claws to it.  She's so well-behaved.  Instead of making her stop, we just laughed.  We're such great parents!  Hahaaha!

God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
