Why does my house and the snow hate me?

Could it have snowed anymore today? I was honestly snowed in and didn't leave the house. I kept yelling for it to stop snowing and Marin just can't understand why I would want it to stop snowing. Last year we got ice dams on the roof and the water had nowhere to go except into my kitchen wall. We had to rip out the kitchen wall, our wall in the bedroom and Marins ceiling in her bedroom. Last week Aaron was in the theatre room and found a large bubble hanging from the ceiling. I guess my tub felt like leaking and ran down the wall right below it. So there goes another wall in my house. Then Thursday I pull in the garage from grocery shopping and I thought it was raining in my garage. I look up and the light fixture is dripping water from my garage ceiling. So another wall/ceiling in my home is ripped up. And the source of that leak is still a mystery. I am on the verge of some kind of emotional and mental meltdown. I thought homeowners insurance deductibles were meet like health insurance. If you meet it once in the year you don't have to pay again. Well, no. It is per incident. So that adds up to three incidents and lots of headache. So go away snow, You cause me stress!!!! I added a few pictures of Aaron's first snowblowing experience, he splatted a little bit on the side on the garage.

A hoppin night at kangaroo zoo

Of course Ashton had more say than Mesa about where to go for the birthday party. He was more excited about the cupcakes than anything else. I totally forgot to take a picture of the Diego and Tinkerbell cupcakes. My sister Josue kindly walked around and took pictures of the kids for me so I could visit with everyone. Mesa was exhausted when she got home. She usually goes to bed around 7 so this was one wild night for her. Easton and Phoenix were invisible that night, somehow I didn't get pics of them. Sorry!

It's your birthday and we are gonna party like it's your birthday

It's our twins' birthday. They are four years old today. It was quite a long road getting them to come to our family. Thank goodness for great doctors, nurses and my good husband. I look at Mesa and Ashton and my heart just swells up with happiness. I am so proud and love the little people that they have become. Happy Birthday to our sweet little babies!

BABY PASSIN OUT

We put up the tree with gobs of ornaments on it and it looked like christmas ten times over to a one year old. So begins the endless days of saying "No, no Greyson don't touch the tree. So last night I got a little tired of seeing him tackle the tree and swatted his little hand. He got so mad, his mouth opened to scream and nothing came out.....for a long time. Next thing I know he has passed out on the floor and forgot to breathe. I have heard of kids doing this but I have not personally witnessed it. I was covered in sweat because it scared me so bad. I thought to call 911 but then realized that a little smack to the face might bring him around. His face was a horrible gray color. Then he took an enormous breath and looked at me like I was the meanest mom in the world. Well, two minutes later he was laughing and spiting at us, so no worries. Anyone had this happen to them???
