Cuddle Up...

To a good book.
I am starting to accept that I did move back to the white mountains, and that my blood will, eventually, get "thickened" to the cold once more.
With the snow, I have now become a little obsessed with this place:The public library.
Well the Snowflake library to be exact.. Show Low's has more of an eye appeal for purpose of this blog. Anyways,

I have spent many hours browsing the shelves for a good read. I have found a few. So has Kohan. Who knew that the library and a book could be used for bribery? Take note moms because a new book for nap or bed time gets the little ones eyes a' twinklin.

My new read that I can't put down, is this:

It has been made into a major motion movie, that comes out very soon. It caught my attention right away. I read the first one in two days. The good news, it is a five book series. If you like adventure, greek mythology, and a good easy read try this series out. The public libraries
carry them. I am on the wait list for book 2 and 3.
Who knows,
they could be the new Twilight.

COLD

I am over this kind of weather.
Just as you see the hope of warmer temperatures and clear skies, it gets cloudy and cold with a chance of snow again... and your reminded that its only January.

Its because I was jazzed about getting an opportunity to go ride my horse today.
She too is sick of the cold.
My poor kids are sick of the cold.
Where did we move too?
We are vacating our house this weekend and head down south to the ranch where i am hoping for higher temperatures and clear skies. With lots of outdoor activities.
Spring, I hope your beautiful face is ready to shine soon.

A very happy Birthday to you!

This guy is a whopping 4 years old today.

He has informed me he grew over night and feels older and knows how to be 4 now.

He has chosen spiderman as his birthday theme with an Iron man birthday cake, and has a special day planned to go see Alvin and the Chipmunks. " You know mom the one with the girl chipmunks that sing all the single ladies", as he shakes his butt to demonstrate how they sing.

Happy Birthday Ko Bear we love you! I hope that being 4, you still have time to come get in bed with us every morning still, story time every night and there is still time for hugs and loves at bedtime. And as Kohan would say lately , "I'm Pretty sure" your an amazing big brother with such a sweet, kind heart.

I can not believe he is one year away from starting kindergarten.. oh how time flies.

Special note: (Thanks to uncle "B" for the super cool cardinals jersey he wore proudly all day yesterday! This is him posing in true Kohan fashion.)

Merry Christmas

Just wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Hope everyone had a great holiday.

Recovery

Brandon had his surgery on monday. After four hours of sitting in a waiting room worried and imaging the all the worst possibilities he was done. It went so well they didn't graft bone from his hip, but instead took a piece of his radius bone in his arm and put it into his wrist and rerouted arteries to feed the new bone marrow. It went so well he didn't have to spend the night and was able to come home with me. He is in a lot of pain and has months of recovery but I am thankful that is all. Kohan stayed with his G-ma and called Brandon last night to check on him and told Brandon he could have his wrist since dads was broke. Kohan came home this morning and is very worried about his daddy. He informed me his wrist hurt bad too and we needed to wrap it and prop it up on pillows like dad.
He idolizes his father in every way.
I am just glad he is around for Kohan and Paige. :)
