Christmas Jammies..these are the pictures that I tried taking for Chirstmas cards and that didn't happen so you can all enjoy them on my blog instead!







YES we are still alive...

I know that some of you may be wondering if we are still alive here at the Gnehm household..well we are it just has been really crazy around here. With the holidays coming and going, starting back to work, and Garth having surgery I haven't even had a chance to sit down and think let alone sit down and blog. Well no more excuses I will try to be more diligent with my blogging!!!
As I mentioned above Garth had surgery a couple of weeks ago. The doc decided that with Garth constantly being sick it would be best to remove his tonsils. While they were in there they also straightened out his deviated septum. He is surprisingly doing really well; the doc keeps telling him that for all that he did to him he is moving around quite well. I'm sure Garth would be healing even faster if he would have tried resting a little longer rather than going back to work a couple days after the surgery. Not even surgery will stop this man from working..YES he is a WORKAHOLIC, do they have support groups for these type of people?
Tara is getting to be so grown up; she is definitely not a baby anymore. Currently we are working on potty training. She is doing pretty good, except for the few accidents here and there; she is also having a hard time pooping in the potty. Don't get me wrong she hasn't had an accident in her panties she will wait until she has a diaper on for naptime to get the job done. I have decided that we are going to have to use a little bit of bribery..M&M's, yes she is a chocoholic!!! Also I have to brag a littleTara's picture is in a photo contest. If you go to www.stephanietueller.com and then click on BLOG you can VOTE for Tara's pic; she is picture #7. Now I expect everyone to vote because we all know she is the cutest little girl on there plus mommy will win an 11x14 photo!!!
Ty is growing like a weed. When Garth weighed him a week ago which would have made Ty just a little over 3 months he weighed between 16 and 17 pounds. I know he is HUGE, we call him our chunky monkey or FATMAN..can babies develop a complex? Even though he is a BIG guy he is still our cute LITTLE man. He smiles at everything and now we will even start to get some giggles..watch out ladies those dimples and fat little cheeks will melt your heart. I know I say this quite a bit but it is amazing how fast little ones grow.
As for me not much has changed. I'm still carrying around my baby weight and no I'm not happy about it. I need to find some motivation to lose it so if anyone knows where to find it let me know. I just need to give a quick little shout out to all of my girlfriends out there, all my work buddies, my SLC lady friends, and my cache valley girls. You are all the ones who keep my sanity so I just need to say thanks.
I will try to be better at this blogging but if I don't keep up on it don't hate me! I will leave you with a few new pics of the kids or maybe not it won't let me download. I never said I was good at any of this technical stuff. I will try to download some pictures soon!
