WHAAAaaaat....2011 is about to be no more??!!

I really want to be better about posting on my bloggy here, but its merely a wish just like I wish I could get this new Betsey Johnson purse...I just want to be able to read back on this and remember what the heck we were up to.



Well in other news, we are just around the corner from my Kennedy's 4th birthday, 2012 minus 2008 is four right?! (I feel sick)
Morgan the not-so-baby, is 15 months now. GEEEZE!! Oh and Cody turned 30 HA! I'm glad I stopped aging at 27 cause this is getting ridiculous!!
We just celebrated Christmas and are getting ready for the new year.  Morgan had her well child appointment today, weighs 21 pounds (skinny), 23(tall) inches, and still has a big noggin.  Also she had to get her 3 immunizations today, and did well but Kennedy was a BASKET CASE!! Shesh, she got a sucker and a sticker cause she handled the shots well.  Morgan got a sucker too :) 



Morgan Kae is:  eating ALL and EVERYTHING, her favorite words: Ninny (kennedy), Penny, Here, Stop, and Bu bye, dad, daddy. She is very inquisitive and laughs at the most random things. She makes a "cheese" face when I hold my phone up (even when I'm not taking a picture) Dances and sings when ANY form of music is on, She LOVES her bed and giving kisses before night time, Her Daddy is her favorite person. AT. ALL. TIMES, already pesters her sister, and would live in the fridge if I would let her.  She is the perfect completion of our family and will probably get away with anything, she is hilarious and I love her SOOO!!

 Kennedy Grace is:  a ballerina, girly as heck, has a boyfriend , wants to be "a star" when she gets big, loves everyone she meets, worries about people who are sick or sad, leaves the room when anything on a movie gets intense, eats like a bird, ends up in our bed every morning, bedtime is NOT her forte. I love her, she melts my heart.



2012,it's crazy that it's here...that means I've been graduated for 10 freakin years, what does that mean?! Do I need to consider myself old now?! Do I have to stop listening to my music loud and going to concerts? Crap I'm not gonna!!!! Well Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! We Seaton 4 are welcoming the future and my heart is full and hopes are high!!!

I don't have any pictures of myself becausee you would be looking at, well a picture I'd be taking of myself and I just don't do that...it lowers my self esteem, those never turn out good and I'd much rather show you my gorgeous family! And that is my rationale of the absent Jena Pics.

Day after Thanksgiving

So this isn't the reason for the season, but Black Friday has become a tradition between my sister-in-law Tara and I. We went this year with my friend Krista and mother-in-law. We woke up at 3:30am and went to Kohls at 4. We were in and out in 30 minutes, Starbucks, then on to the mall to hit up the other stores. I took a picture of the damage along with us at our last stop. We were DONE by then.

My little friend is hidden in the picture above, can you find her among all the bags?! We had fun and I got all my shopping done! I love black Friday.
I can not wait for Christmas, even though its kinda already here. Christmas Eve my sisters and their families are spending all day here along with my parents. We have a whole day planned out, starting with football at the park, brunch, a live nativity, games, lunch, the Christmas Story and presents. Kennedy went to see Santa and LOVES him, last year not so much...

Well, hope everyone has a wonderful December! I'm off to get ready for the week!

Picture time anyone?!

On the first day of December we attempted...

Taking pictures in front of the tree for our Christmas cards...

She tried avoiding eye contact....

Hiding...

and even Distraction....

Apparently she wanted to do it at her own time in her favorite attire...JAMMIES!!

HALLOWEEN!!

This year's Halloween was a BLAST!! Cody and I had a party at our house the day before Halloween and I was a bit under the weather, but it didn't stop me from having our 5th annual party. I dressed up as a Cindy Loper, 80's gal and Cody was...to no surprise...Optimus Prime. Kennedy was a monkey, although her costume could pass for a mouse, or bear also. She was hilarious this year, she's not shy at all and walked up to the houses (by herself), knocked, said "twik o tweet", got candy, said "thank you", and shut the door. She is so funny and independent. Cody went ahead and put full use into his costume and dressed up with her to do the Trick or Treating. I didn't dress up the dogs this year although Fender has his hot dog costume and Penny has her Lady bug. I decided not to torture them this year. OK so here come the pictures.....

I've already addressed my Christmas cards!!!

It's true, I found the Christmas cards I bought for last year in my linen closet and decided if those puppies were gonna make it in the mail they better get addressed. I won't tell exactly how long they have been addressed because I really am a busy working mom, and don't wanna sound pathetic.

I know that the sooner the holidays get here, the faster they are gone, but I just am so excited for the holidays this year!! I love Halloween and have had decorations up since September 1st. Kennedy got her costume in today and as I type is asleep in the living room floor wearing it. She is so funny!! So yes mom your right I will be getting my money's worth! (ha ha)

The biggest and most important reason for my excitement is because our little family went through a big change in February (valentine's day to be exact) and it feels like Cody and I are going through everything for the first time, and getting through life much easier and seem somehow to have more patients with each other and our little Grace and the love is much stronger. So DOY I'm excited for the best time of the year!!

The holidays mean family and I, fortunately, love all of mine, in laws and everything:) I can't wait for my parents to come up for Christmas and spend all Christmas Eve along with my two sisters and their families (minus the furry mammals in the back yard) And this year is Thanksgiving with the Seaton's so we look forward to GOOD FOOD and FAMILY, although they probably shouldn't be in that order.

So, I am trying to be patient and take it all in as it comes and treasure each moment, guess I'll have to learn patients. I'll have plenty to keep busy though, next week my sister, sister in law, mother in law and friend, Krista are going to do some MAD shopping in Oklahoma. Then comes Halloween WOO HOO!! So, happy holidays to you all I know for A LOT of you it will be the first with a new baby and it's so exciting!!

I can't post a blog without a picture so here are some from the 2009 Race for the Cure. My friend Lucretia was diagnosed on her 41st BIRTHDAY with breast cancer last year and we did the 2008 walk a week later. So, this year was very special marking the 1 year battle she has had and we all were there to walk with her. Kennedy's shirt last year said Babies for Boobies. This year it said Find a Cure Before I Grow BOOBS!
