THANKSGIVING

This year we went to the McCaffree's (Dave's aunt and uncle) for the Thanksgiving feast.  It was so delicious and I wish we could do it again because I'm almost out of leftovers.  But I think I'll survive.  At least I'll try.  Anyway, here are some photos of the day.  I didn't get any of the actual feast because I was busy scarfing down the food myself.  But I got some other good shots.

There's always a need for a good nap after the feast.

It wouldn't be a Ricks gathering without some games.

Jocelyn loved cousin Brian's goatee.

We hope you had a great Thanksgiving.  We know we did and we have so much to be thankful for! 

Being Sick Stinks!

Poor Jocey got sick this past week.  I was really frustrated because we had just started potty training.  I didn't realize how emotionally invested I was.  I had prepared for it for a couple of weeks now.  I read a book, made sure I had 3 free days, all the grocery shopping was done, laundry was done, etc.  We had finished one whole day of our "3 Day Potty Training" program which had been pretty successful.  Then it went down hill.

Jocey woke up at about 1am with throw up all over her and her bed.  Dave and I got busy cleaning everything up and then went back to bed.  I was up with Jocey a couple more times but luckily her throwing up decreased tremendously.  She was mostly just spitting up water.  Anyway, once we got up for the day I had to make the decision of what to do about potty training.  At first I thought I would continue with it.  I called my sister and even turned to Facebook for guidance.  Every one said to wait.  I cried.  That's when I realized just how invested I was.  But it also took a ton of pressure off of the situation.  Worrying about Jocey wetting herself AND throwing up was a little much.  So potty training has been postponed.

Luckily, it was just a 24 hour bug and she is back to her old silly and cute self.  She celebrated by decorating daddy and herself with stickers.

Testing....1,2,3

I may have found a way around the photo space issue.  This is a test to see if I can add photos.

And it looks like I did it.  So I'm back faster than expected.  Woohoo!

Time Out

I'm taking a time out from blogging, not because I want to but because I have to.  Apparently, I have used up all my free photo quota through Picasa Web, where blogger photos are stored.  Until I figure out how to post pictures again, I will be on hiatus.  But don't worry, when I come back I will play some serious catch up.  You won't miss a thing.  So until then.....

A Little Bit CRAZY and A Little Bit CUTE!

I had a great nap on Sunday but it did nothing for my hair.  It turned a little bit crazy.
 
And as we all know, Jocey is just a little bit cute!
