sleep study...

miles and i got home from his sleep study at about 5:30 this morning. to give you a little background information... miles is a snorer, he stops breathing when he's sleeping, he has big tonsils and to top it off, he sleep walks. so before the dr. would take miles' tonsils out, he wanted to do a sleep study to see if that is what is causing his snoring. we got to the sleep clinic at 8:30 and miles was hooked up. miles worked on his writing, we read some books, and then we went to sleep. it only took miles a little bit to fall asleep. once he found a comfy position he was out. ryan our sleep tech came in about 3 times to readjust wires on miles during the night, so of course i woke up each time. let's just say i didn't sleep so well last night and i am really tired today. miles is feeling great. he said he slept fine. at one point, while we were sitting in bed, miles said mom, this is fun. only my kid would think this is fun. when we got up the sleep tech said miles did a great job. that he did snore, but he didn't think that miles stopped breathing. he said the doctor would have to look at it to be sure. so when i get the results, i'll let you all know.

happy friday...

enjoy your weekend!!!

here are a few pics that make me smile, hope they make you smile too...

bed buddies...

i could hear maisy "talking" in her crib the other day when she woke up from her nap.  when i walked in, maisy was so excited to show me something in her crib.  i had no idea what it could be. so i look in her crib and she was pointing very proudly at her stuffed animals. she had lined all her stuffed animals up against the side of the crib, like they were watching over her. she was just so pleased with herself, it was too cute.

the rookie

miles has been playing rookie basketball at the local YMCA. each week they learn a new skill, like dribbling, passing, shooting and playing defense. Next week is their final session, and they will play a "real" game using the skills they have learned. two weeks ago they got their t-shirts and team photos taken. they also had individual photos taken. i don't have a scanner, so this is a photo of a photo, so please excuse the poor quality. i will try to get video of his "game" and share it next week. happy hump day!

sneak peek...

i have been diligently constructing my december daily album. i am using ali edwards' dec. daily as my inspiration. i've been having so much fun collecting and assembling all my christmas stash. as soon as it's complete i'll take a picture of each page to share with you. for those of you who don't know what a december daily album is, it's simple. it's a mini album used to document the days leading up to christmas. i'll take a picture a day from dec 1-25 and journal about the things we do each day. can't wait to get started, christmas is right around the corner.

slides, "augies" and tag, oh my...

at 4:00 yesterday afternoon, i decided to take the kids to the park.  it was such a nice afternoon, and i hadn't seen the kids all day saturday, i thought it would be fun. and it was. i was surprised how many families were at the playground at that time. miles made friends with a group of kids his age and played a rousing game of freeze tag. maisy ran around,climbed all the structures and was infatuated with all the dogs, she would point and say "augie" (doggie). we'll have to go to the park at that time more often. hope everyone has a wonderful week.  good luck to kelly and andy today... and can't wait to meet baby addyson.

i love that maisy's hair is finally growing. I love putting it in two pony tails, unfortunately she doesn't keep them in very long. most of the time i leave it down, just pinning her bangs back because they are always in her eyes. she really needs a trim, but i just can't bring myself to do it yet.  had a great day scrapping yesterday, got a lot accomplished.  will share tomorrow. happy sunday!
