Tanner got his tubes in today! He did a good job he was very patient with all the waiting around. We had a early appt. in Salt Lake and so we got him up early and took himin. When the nurses was checking him out they were concerened that is oxygen levels where low which is sometimes the problem with him. So we gave him a breathing treatment and waited around it got a little better but the doctors felt it was enough to procede so he went ahead and had the surgery.
It only took 10 minutes and no IV required which I was grateful for. He was a little trooper after we got him back we had to sit around some and get him to drink and his blood pressure was low so we had to wait for it to go up. All in all it was good but alot longer process than I thought we left our house at 6 am. and didn't get home until 2 pm. Gracie had tons of fun at Aunt Jennifer house she loves to play with Garrett and they had a good time together.

Tubes and Vacation
I took Tanner to the doctor yesterday and after looking at his ears and his history with infections we decided it would be best to put tubes in his ears. I hate to think of my little man being put under but I think this will really help. That way hopefully we won't be having to take him to the doctors every 3 weeks and he won't have to take quite as much medicines well.... at least not for his ears.
His breathing is also starting to look better since his doctor put him on an some inhalers so we are grateful for that we are hoping eventually it is something he will grow out of but for now the medicine seems to be doing the job.
Also in other news I'm very excited to be heading to New York!! yeah!! Gracie and I will be heading out to stay with my sister for two whole weeks actually more than that 18 days. I'm excited to go and see her home and visit with her family! It is always too long in between visits. I'm sad to be leaving the boys home, I'm sure we will get homesick but I'm glad that I can go and help out and play. Gracie is excited too! She likes plane rides but it will be alot longer one than she has ever been on so hopefully I will go prepared with enough activities that we will have "no crying and no fussy" as Gracie would say.

Yumm.....
Yummy!! More pics of my cute little kids I can't help myself lately they are just so fun to take pictures of. Everytime I tell Gracie she is cute or silly she tells me to go get the camera and the after the picture is taken she wants to look at them and she makes fun comments like Ahhh... so cute or we are silly in that one!
She is just too funny lately she talks a mile a minute lately when we babysit Rocky she will come up to me to put drink orders in. She always says I want Juice, Rocky wants milk and Tanner will have water. Although Tan isn't a big fan of water that what she says he wants. Silly Kids!!

Tanner
I can't believe how big Tan is getting. He will be one in just a couple weeks he is getting so big. We just switched him to Whole Milk Ya no more formula!! I always like switching he eats more big kid food and stays full longer. He still has the bottle for now but I'm sure in a few weeks that will be gone too. Now onto potty training I haven't quite figured that one out yet!! But here are a few pics of Tan he was being a little model for me one day.
Lately when I vacumn Tanner doesn't want to be on the floor apparently when your little the vacumn is a little scary, so I have been putting him in his crib to get the job done. Gracie decided playing in the crib is lots of fun so they played in there for a good half hour while I cleaned the house. I'm glad that they get along so well with very little fighting they just play and love on eachother.
Gracie, Tanner and Rocky all wanted to sit in the rocking chair that morning so I let them. Luckily they all were nice and shared and rocked for awhile. They have lots of fun together!

Christmas
We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We had are annual Christmas Eve dinner at the Holmes house all the kids where there and almost all the grandkids. It was a houseful and the kids got to open pj's from Grandma and Grandpa. We also exchanged gifts and the kids had fun playing with eachother.
Christmas morning was nice are kids are little so they still slept in until 8. And then we got up and opened our gifts. This process takes awhile because Gracie after opening one present is totally content just to play with the one toy. But we did finally open them all up.
This was Tanners first Christmas I think he enjoyed eating the paper more then the gifts. He had fun playing with boxes and got some fun gifts. After are morning of presents and Treats. We got ready and went to Grandma Flaglers for an early dinner with my parents. Unfortunately Jen and fam got the flu so it was just a small group this year. We had a nice time and had my favorite Ham dinner and we just had fun playing with the kids and we watched a Christmas movie Bandits :)
