Gracie Cakes

We were in the car waiting on Daddy. So I thought I would snap a shot of Gracie Cakes. She is growing up so fast. She loves to play outside, bake, and sing. I will have to get a new picture of her since she lost 2 teeth on Wednesday night.

On The Run

Tony and I recently ran a 5k together. He of course, has ran one before. For me it was a first. I have been doing some running to loose weight and wanted to prove to myself that I can do it. I have to say I reached my goal time and was beyond thrilled. I am even looking forward to another one. I never thought I would say that.

A Look Into The Day Of The USNS Comfort.

Our friends sent us a link to their Dad's blog. He is the XO of the USNS Comfort. I thought I would point out the link under my "MY BLOG LIST". You will see the hard work that our soldiers are doing to bring medical care to people in need. I know that prayer is needed all across Haiti right now, so many people are hurting and with out the the supplies to take care of their families. I am so thankful for what these men and women are doing to be a help to the people of Haiti and for what they do for us here in the US. Lets keep them in our prayers they have a long road ahead of them!

Family Sledding

We received snow just the other day,so of course we had to buy some sleds. First thing this morning we got up and headed out. Do I dare say how much fun I had. I have found memories of sledding with my brother and sister as a kid. My brother would even let us go with him to his Buddy's house and we would spend the day sledding down his huge hill. Today was the first time sledding for Gracie. She loved it and was willing to try anything. Caleb went down with Daddy once and that was the last. Courtney has been many of a time. Her and I would sled often while in CT. Daddy would join us when he wasn't out to sea at the time. I tried to upload the video but for some reason it would not let me. I will try that on facebook.

Pizo's Lately

Thought I would update my blog real quick. The last month has been busy with sickness. Caleb started in the Oct double ear infections. Gracie had the "flu" in the beginning of Nov. It took about 2 weeks to get over. Courtney turned 13 on the 13th of Nov. Grammy Phillips came out from VA to share in the celebration. We had so much fun with her. I am so thankful to have Courtney. She is a blessing and watching her grow is a joy. I could not have asked for more in a daughter. Gracie came down with a ear infection along with the hives. She gave us quite a scare with the hives. I have never seen them so bad before. The doctor told us what to do and they went down with in a day. Now it is Courtney's turn. She has the Swine Flu. It has really taken a toll on her. The fever has been consistent along with the awful cough. She broke out in hives today. A friend said that is a sign that the virus is leaving the body. I can only hope.

Thanksgiving was a wonderful day. We shared it with some friends in the area. Of course we played domino's and ate way to much. I worked that night at midnight. Yes, I volunteered for that. I have so much fun working the midnight madness. I got off at 6 am and was able to spend the rest of the day with my family.

I gave my two week notice at work and Sat will be my last day. I am sad to a small degree because I really enjoy the ladies that I work with and who does not like Yankee Candle. At the same time I am so SUPER excited to be home with my little monkeys. Courtney and Gracie are beside themselves. That makes me feel good.
