The Huber Life

2010-12-06T08:16:00.001-08:00

Well I am really bad at blogging!!
Since I have been on last-

Keenan had his helmet on from July - October (I think, can't quite remember.) His head looks great!! Keenan was also baptized in October during the weekend of Papa Bobs big birthday bash!! Thank you to Ashleigh and Myles for being Keenan's godparents we appreciate it!!

The girls started school in September, Makenna a First Grader and Bella a Kindergartner!! They are both doing very well in school!! Bella thinks school is way to long she goes all day everyday!! Makenna she is Miss popular! A little firecracker is what everybody tells me, Bella on the other hand quite as a mouse yet very friendly and always there to help out!!

We have been working on Keenan's Bedroom for quite some time it is looking awesome! Thank you to my aunt Judy for the sweet valance for his window!! We have trim work doors to hang and carpet then should be done!! Yippee hopefully before he turns one which means we have a month left!! YIKES

Keenan has started to walk crazy little guy still am in shock that it has already almost been a year since he came into this world!!!!! What a difference there is between girls and boys this kid can and is into everything I don't think I am ever sitting down always chasing him! We had put up the Christmas tree and I put some presents under it he has ripped most the bows off the presents and we had to put the ornaments up higher so he couldn't rip them down!! Last night tried to take a picture for a Christmas card wow chaotic that was!!

Tom has been playing in a band again!! He is loving it and is a total rock star!!

I will add some random pics this entry of this blog so you all can get an idea what the Huber life consists of!! HAAAAAA We are loving life!! It can get crazy but we enjoy every part of it!!

Keenan's Helmet

2010-08-10T10:33:00.000-07:00

Well here is an update to Keenans Flat Head!! We received the decals and decorated the helmet it looks pretty sweet. We just visited the Dr. and he said that his head has reshaped itself 1cm yippie!! The Dr. was in shock on how much it reshaped with the helmet and how short of time it has been.. Maybe he won't have to have it on as long as they said. The Dr. also mentioned how much he liked Keenan's decals on his helmet, he asked if he could take some pics kinda funny.. Well here are some more pics of his helmet and another pic of his head...

Academic All Star

2010-08-10T09:42:00.000-07:00

Makenna was named an Academic All Star at Raven Stream School 2009-2010! She was selected by the teachers there and was invited to attend the Gathering Of Champions 2010 at the Mall Of America where she received her award and a bunch of other goodies! She was a bit nervous to go on stage so Tom walked with her. After the ceremony we went to nickelodeon universe to enjoy the rides. We are so proud of her and all her hard work! Here are some pics of her with her Principal Mr.Pribyl and her face painted the All Star stage and so on!!!

Coming out of Retirement!!

2010-07-29T08:37:00.000-07:00

Well sorry to everyone... I went into retirement with the blogging!! Well guess what I'm back!! But where on earth do I begin? I think I'm going to just start with what has been happening in the last couple weeks, once the girls go to school maybe then I can catch up on what you have missed!!

Keenan- 6 Months
Well Keenan has got to be the strongest baby and the happiest baby I know,this kid is on the go!!! Crawling, teething, steam rolling, eating big boy food, getting into everything he is a big boy!! We might have to move to a farm so we can feed this kid while he grows up YIKES!!!
Bids (aka Keenan) was diagnosed with Plageiocephaly aka flat head!! You could kinda tell around 2 months that it was a bit flat, we were not to worried but the pediatrician told us if it doesn't get better by 6 months we will have to see a cranial specialist.It didn't get much better by 6 months so we went to see a specialist and they did measurement and tests and sure enough he has flat head and Torticollis (this is when he was little he would have is head facing right quite a bit which made his muscles in his neck tight) for the plageicephaly he has gotten a helmet and for the torticollis he will have physical therapy!! He sure is a trooper thought still as happy as can be!!!! For the Plagieocephaly we had to go in and scan his head for measurements for the helmet. When the helmet was ready we went in for a fitting we then gradually have to get him used to this. Day one when we got home from this appointment he had to where the helmet for an hour. Day 2 helmet 2 hours, day 3 helmet 4 hours wear it for nap wasn't to bad then wear for bad he wasn't to sure about that. We are on day 5 today he needs to wear it for 23 hours a day and 1 hour off for bath and a little break clean out helmet it gets a little sweaty inside it!! I kinda like it for safety reasons he hits a corner of something and his noggin is protected but when he head butts you ouch!!!! I found a website so we can put some decals on this thing make it not so big and white!!! He sure does look cute in it his big pudgy face too darn cute!!!
I will post some pics for you of this procedure beginning to end!!!
On the other hand the girls have kept me busy busy busy!! They are getting so big so fast can you believe that Makenna will be in 1st grade (tear) and my Bella Beans will be going to Kindergarten (tears lots). This summer has gone so gosh darn fast I could of swore I just went to the hospital to have Keenan!! Yikes having three kids has made my life a wonderful fast blur!!! I have to keep telling myself to slow down and take each moment in and enjoy it!!! The girls will start swimming lessons here in a week after spending time at my aunt Judy's swimming every day I am not so sure they need lessons!! I guess maybe for safety!! This month of August is always a crazy month for us!! I am so proud of Makenna she has won a award for being a Academic-All Star, we have to go to the Mall of America for a Gathering of Champions ceremony so she can receive her award!! Way to go Makenna!! The girls Birthday are also this month Makenna turning 6 and Bella turning 5 oh dear lord slow the time down!!! Makenna also lost her first tooth, the tooth was wiggly for a long time she wanted that tooth to fall out on its own!! It sure did she was excited yet weirded out about the whole thing!! Oh well Bella keeps thinking she has a wiggly tooth but then she says oh I guess not!! Some day Bella!! Bella on the other hand is getting quite big herself this spring she jumped on her bike and bam she could ride it without training wheels!! We have so far had a wonderful eventful summer I hope the kids enjoyed it I know I sure did!!! Well I will post some pics for you!!

Keenan James 2 weeks old

2010-01-27T05:24:00.001-08:00

Keenan just had his 2 week old check up he weighed in at a whopping 9lbs 7 ounces. He is growing way to fast. The girls are in heaven with a little brother. Bella loves to kiss and touch Keenan on the head she loves being a big sister. Makenna on the other hand has decided that she is now the boss of Bella and Keenan where she comes up with these ideas I don't know. Keenan has been doing pretty good through the night sleeps 3-4 hours at a time feeds and then back to sleep. Pretty good boy!!

Fathers Day Weekend 2009

2009-06-22T05:55:00.000-07:00

For fathers day this year we went up to Papa Bobs house! The trip started out a bit sketchy at first we decided we were going to go to Sonic to eat in Elk River on out way up and when we got there some guy was honking his horn at us telling us that our strap on the 4wheeler was loose so we pulled over at a gas station next to Sonic to fix it and then saw that we weren't going to fit in sonic with trailer. I of course had to go to the bathroom told Tom to let the dog out and when I got back their was no Tom or dog I asked the girls where dad was they said "Buzzsaw is gone" oh my heart dropped in the busiest part of Elk River and the Dog took off I see Tom down the street with the dogs leash and collar but no dog oh what were we going to do, cars are honking the dog is running free Tom can't catch the dog the dog is running through the sonic parking lot then running around some businesses and then running into some wooded areas Tom looking not to happy with the dog, So I grab the girls and a meat stick thank god I brought them cause that is what got the dog, I broke a few pieces and threw them at him and he looked at me, should I run or should I eat. He looked pretty tired which then he grabbed the meat and I grabbed him. I would have to say we are pretty lucky. We decided then that we should probably just get in the car and get out of there so we drove on. The girls then fell asleep so we drove til they got up which was Little Falls so we stopped and had Supper at Pizza Hut. After supper we were off and heading north again the sky was getting darker and darker we then drove into a huge storm the girls and I were freaking out they had their blankets over their heads I held on for dear life and way to go Tom for getting us through it I kept telling him to turn around but he pulled it off way to go. Besides that mishap it was a great weekend. The girls had the time of their life they went swimming and ran around like fools. Here are some pics of the trip. Tom wanted to see if the dog could swim so he threw the dog in the water the poor dog sank I watched him sink his eyes were wide open while he sank, then I think he realized he needed to get to the top so he swam up to the top and then swam to the beach. I don't think he liked it to much. We had gone to WalMart and bought a blow up raft and floaty devices and a fishing rod Tom showed the girls how to fish Makenna thought that was boring but Bella seemed interested. They didn't catch one though but I think they had fun with their DAD!!

The New Huber Baby!!

2009-06-16T06:27:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of our newest addition to our family who is suppose to arrive around January 24, 2010. We are all so excited!!! Went to my first ob visit yesterday June 15 and the girls asked if they are going to take it out so we can take it home. I told them not til daddy's birthday! They looked at this pictures and said where is the baby? I told them its the little blob in the picture its the size of a piece of popcorn. So I guess that will be the baby's new name "popcorn" Makenna is "peanut" Bella is "raisin" and this baby "popcorn" HAHA.

Babies

2009-06-12T06:42:00.001-07:00

Babies-
For those of you who don't know we are expecting!! So needless to say the topic around the house has been Babies. Makenna especially wants to know everything how did it get in my tummy, where does it come out etc. So I am trying to answer these questions some what truthfully Tom thinks truth might be a bit graphic for her and scar her for life! I was watching one of those baby shows on TLC and this mother on there was having a baby in a jacuzzi tub, Makenna caught a glimpse of this so now she thinks that we all have babies in tubs or pools as she calls them! I told her that the baby came from God and he decides when you have a baby of course you have to be late 20's to do that and married! She told me straight up to tell God she did not want one. Which brings me to another story we were at the church park yesterday and she stood at the top of the play structure and yelled to God Give my mom a Baby and God I do not want one!! On our way home from the park she asked Tom and I where does the baby come out of I told her her butt area and Tom about flipped he says your belly button well I guess we are both sorta right! Again I am trying to bit a bit truthful don't want to fill her with a bunch of fibs I know she isn't no dummy that's for sure her little mind just keeps on tick tick ticking!!

Dance Recital 2009

2009-06-01T10:53:00.000-07:00

The Girls had their very first Dance Recital on May 29, 2009 it was the cutest thing I ever did see. I only had gotten to take a few pics before the show they didn't want pics or video done at the show of course we had to buy a DVD of the show which I won't get til July nice! When I do get it I will post it I will also post the three pics I have of the girls with their Teachers. The girls were not afraid at all. I had to go and drop them off before the show behind the stage and I was the one holding the tears back dropping them off by themselves. Just another moment of me realizing that they are getting so big!! Then it was show time their first dance was their tap to the song Do You Believe In Magic, it was so so so cute and precious I cried my eyes out I think Tom shed a few tears also. After intermission the second set was on. The girls then had their Ballet piece to perform they nailed it. I loved it, again the waterworks came. The girls have gotten so big I can not believe they did it, such big girls. We are so very proud of them!! This was a thirty year anniversary for the dance studio so they had some other dances that they added like a Father and daughter dance I figured Tom wouldn't want to do that so i didn't even bring it up, but Makenna had a bunch of friends and their dads in it and she wanted to do it too. She told Tom that and he said next year for sure!! The Recital was way to cute for words.

Dance Party!!

2009-04-29T11:06:00.000-07:00

Today I had a doctor appointment so I told the girls if they behave we can go to McDonalds and get lunch!! They behaved really good. We ordered the happy meals and they prize today was a kidz bop cd so we got home and had to listen to it. So I recorded the girls jamming out to it I thought it was funny. They have no clothes on because I made them wear jeans to the doctor, and when we got home they immediately stripped, they hate wearing what I tell them. Stubborn Kids!!

2009-04-22T05:43:00.000-07:00

We just got Makenna and Bella's Dance Pictures back and I thought I would share them with you all. I think they are way to cute for words. Now I can't wait for the recital the girls have been practicing so hard. They are really good at their Tap and Ballet. I can't believe that they can remember everything I try to do it with them and they are always correcting me!! Hope you all enjoy!

The First Ride!!

2009-04-16T05:10:00.000-07:00

Makenna and Bella's first ride on PEG!! (otherwise known as The Harley)

The girls were excited to ride on daddy's bike. Tom took the girls around the block on Peg!! Makenna was like "it was cool", Bella on the other hand wanted daddy to go faster daddy go faster and rev it up!! Thats our Bella for ya!!

The Pink Pants!!!

2009-04-15T07:12:00.000-07:00

I am having the worst struggle with Makenna and these pink stretch pants. Every single day she wants to wear these pants. Which I guess I should not care but she goes in the dirty laundry and takes them out and puts them on with a pink long sleeve shirt and a pink tee shirt on top of that one!! UGHHHH!! The weird thing about it is the pants are always filthy and she doesn't seem to care and wear dirty pants she doesn't like to be dirty at least I don't think she does she usually likes to be prim and proper. So I thought that I would go out and buy some more pink stretch pants but no they were not good enough for the pretty pink princess!!! She told me " I don't like them they are way to big" I then told her I will wash them and they will shrink a bit. So I did and she still didn't like them at all. Why am I having such a struggle with this? Do I just let her wear the pants dirty as can be? UGHHHHH!! I think am driving myself nuts and her nuts too!! Bella on the other hand she will wear whatever she has, no argument on what she wears. I guess sometimes she does want to just wear summer stuff all the time but she doesn't fight me when I tell her it is not quite time for the summer clothes!! Clothing should not be a power struggle!!! I guess I should just let go of the issue!! Kids!!!

Easter 2009

Easter started off at Kristofer's house coloring eggs on that Saturday evening after a great steak dinner thank you Anderson Family. I have never in my life seen a steak as big as the ones that Kris had gotten that day scrumdiddles, MmmMmmm good! After dinner we then colored eggs. We didn't have quite as many as the Hall Family we had 2 dozen eggs for 5 kids that were there. The kids had a blast and so did the parents!!! After all that jazz we came home and then Makenna realized holy smokes the Easter Bunny is coming tonight, needless to say the girls didn't procrastinate to get to bed that night!! Of course Makenna woke up first that morning at about 6:30 went straight looking for her basket which she found right away. I woke up at 6:15 forgetting to get my cameras ready for the whole event I didn't get any pics of the looking for the baskets I did get a bit of video then realizing the battery was dead urghhh!! Good thing I found the other one and good thing that one was charged. Makenna was so excited she found her basket and she loved what the Easter bunny brought her, she told me "mom the Easter bunny remembered to put my egg that I colored in my basket!" (He kinda forgot last year. HEHEHE) Bella then woke up with all the excitement going on she then went searching for her basket she found hers right away too. I think I will have to remind the Bunny next year to hide them a bit harder next time! Bella so excited with all the candy and all the gifts that the bunny had brought her!! I think all she ate that day was candy and lots of it!! After all that hype the girls wanted to put their Easter dresses on let me tell you it was a long 2 days with their dresses sitting in their closets. My girls love to dress up and wanted to wear the dresses all day and every day. We got them ready to go and boy did they look beautiful so grown up already!! We then were off to Grandma Ruth's and Papa Franks for Easter Dinner and the egg hunt. We had a wonderful meal at the Huber's and the girls had a blast at the egg hunt!!! The two of them found lots and lots of eggs filled with lots of goodies!! I think we all had a great Easter!! We got home and boy did my girls have some sugar high they were going a hundred miles a minute. Then they would crash some so they would just go to their basket and gas up on some more sugar and bam right at it again!! Lord I am glad that its over and most of the candy is gone!!That evening Bella wanted to ride her bike without training wheels so we went out and tried Bella I think is a bit like me doesn't pay attention very well she would ride while tom or I held on to her seat and she would be looking to the side or behind her not looking at the road or concentrating on riding her bike she then kept say to Tom or I keep holding on and keep pushing me!! Needless to say the training wheels went back on!!

2009-03-13T13:06:00.000-07:00

Here are some new photos of the Girls. Thank you Ashleigh so much for the leg warmers they are way too cute!!! I can't believe you made them so fast!!! The girls love them. Makenna and Bella love anything to do with dressing up they love to live a glam preschooler life!!! HAHAHA..

I have been making tutu dresses and tutu's, the girls are my models of course they love everything that I make they also give me great ideas what they like and what they don't. I thought that I would try to sell them of craigslist or something. I love making them!!! Well enjoy!!

Makenna and Bella 1st Cleaning

2009-02-24T06:01:00.000-08:00

Makenna and Bella had a Dentist Appointment on February 23, this was their second time there. But this was the big one the first cleaning!!!!! I was so so so nervous I thought it was going to be a nightmare but it wasn't it was perfect. The 2 previous times we had gone Makenna bumped her front tooth and had to get x-rays done keep in mind this was the first time ever to the dentist and it was an emergency visit not a good way to start off the dentist visits. The second time the girls got to sit in the chairs look at the tools and play with them count their teeth and get lots of prizes and stickers and a toothbrush they liked that a lot.. They didn't really care for the hygienist wearing the mask and the glasses plus I had to sit with them on the chair. They cried a bit. So I thought for sure this was going to be an eventful visit!! But guess what the girls did great they crawled up in their chairs and sat their so good and such big girls!!! I couldn't believe it they let everything get done it was a perfect visit!!! I am so so so proud of them!!! Here are the pictures of the visit and also the Brushing Scorecard!! Sorry I guess the pictures are a bit small well anyways Makenna received an ( A for Plaque Score) and an (A for Gum Score). Bella received a (B for Plaque Score) and an (A for Gum Score). Great Job Girls!!!!

Well it was Buzzsaw's first birthday yesterday so we decided to celebrate it!! I thought that we should have something special, I felt bad because we had to kennel him while we were on vacation, even though they said he had a good time there. So I made him a doggie birthday cake, I made the cake on Sat night it stunk up our house so so bad. We had the birthday cake on Sunday and sang to him he must think to himself this lady is a freak. Oh well!! He enjoyed his cake gobbled it down fast!!! Here some pics.

Walt Disney World 2009

Dreams Do Come True!

Feb. 2, 2009
The day came to take the flight to Fairy Tale Land. We were all very excited! 1:00 the girls and I were at the airport our plane was to leave at 3:45, then delayed we left at 5:20. Thank heaven there was a park at the airport I don't know what I would of done for that time there. Trooper the girls were, excited as ever to go on the plane Makenna window seat, Bella middle, me aisle. It was getting dark when we took off but the girls loved every minute of it. We were sitting on the mat and the two of them kept asking are we flying yet? "no girls we are sitting and waiting to take off." Three hours later we landed in Florida. The girls and I so so so tired from the long day. Then we had to find our shuttle which turned out to be an adventure itself. It took forever to get to the hotel tired we all were the girls ended up falling asleep in the shuttle.Poor Muffins. We arrived at the hotel at 10:30-10:45, Tom was waiting outside for us. To the room we went that's when the girls got there second wind!! Finally it was bed time we all needed to get some good sleep for our big day tomorrow!!

Feb. 3, 2009

Magic Kingdom here we come!!! The girls and I left about 9:30-10:00 to a shuttle to the park and that's when the magic started to happen. We arrived at Magic Kingdom and hopped on the monorail and what do we see the CASTLE, every little girls dreams it was Cinderella's Castle. How their eyes lit up and their faces priceless. I was so excited for them I started to tear up myself. Off the monorail and to the ticket booth and poof we are in the land of DREAMS. I had put together a list and a map of the things we really wanted to do. I was really surprised that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Most of the lines were 10 minutes long. So to the teacups we go!! Oh my gosh it was so much fun! Again what a magical moment the ride came to an end Makenna must of been to dizzy cause she got off and boom she hit the floor and got a big bruise on her forehead. With that episode behind us we decided to head to Mickeys Toontown Fair where most of the characters were. We got there and went to see Minnie's house and moving on to Mickeys house, then we got to Toontown hall of fame tent there we waited about 20 minutes to meet none other than CINDERELLA, BELLE, and SLEEPING BEAUTY!!!! The girls got to sit next to each princess have their picture taken and get their autograph and give them a big hug. Thank heavens we signed up for the photopass ( that's were someone from the park takes millions of pics for you and puts them on a disc or online for you) because I needed to have a million hands I was video taping and taking my own pics with my camera and camera phone. I was the freaky tourist with the millions of cameras and taking millions of pics and video. It all worked out well. I was so tickled pink for the girls a super dooper magical moment for all of us!!! This was defiantly something the girls and I will never forget what a dream come true. It really felt magical no wonder why they call it Magic Kingdom. We then headed over to the Judges Tent to meet none other than the big guy or should I say MICKEY MOUSE and MINNIE MOUSE. We took some pics and got some hugs and off we went. The girls liked Minnie more than Mickey they are a bit afraid of any sort of man dress up character!! I asked them what they wanted to do next well Bella wanted to head over to Ariel's Grotto immediately. We sat in that line for a good 60 minutes the see the one and only Little Mermaid. Makenna and Bella were so good I was so surprised they were so patient. It was finally out turn and oh my gosh Bella took off for Ariel like a lightning bolt. The girls both went up to see her and sit next to her and take many photos Bella was so amazed with her big eyes sparkling and a smile that I will never forget Bella right away says to her I have all three of your movies and I have a dress like yours. She then gave her a hug and sat and stared at her for like 10 minutes. Again more pics and more video. The girls said they wanted to go on the Flying Dumbo ride next I think that people wrapped around that ride like 3 lines thick. Big attraction at that park. I told them we would do that 1st on a different day. We decided that the line for Cinderellas Carousel was much shorter and that was the ride that Makenna really wanted to go on. It was lots of fun the horses that they rode were beautiful. The girls sat on their horse and waved as if they were princesses on their horse. After that ride we went to the Castle itself where we saw Cinderellas Fairy Godmother oh they were excited. We then went through the castle Makenna in couldn't believe it. We then kinda cruised around the park for a bit and went looking for Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride. Which we found and went on the line for this one was only 10 minutes long score!! It was a fun ride I was a bit scared little afraid of heights. Princess JASMINE was over there we quick got in line and had more pics taken more video done and an autograph done. The girls thought she was so beautiful. We decided to cruise through the park some more and check out all the sights and rides we kinda were heading back to the main street in front of the castle. Which I totally forgot that they had a parade at 3:00 every day, we ended up there at the right time and place cause we got a front row seat for the parade it was too cool. We again got to see all the princesses and their princes and even the villains, Mary Poppins, Mickey and Minnie and Friends. I think the parade lasted maybe and hour or so. After that was all done the three of us were so beat, we decided to head back down to main street we hit up a few shops bought the girls the big huge lollipops they begged for all day long. Back on the monorail and back to the hotel. We met up with Tom and his coworker Dick for dinner we had reservations at The House Of Blues. After that we went back to the hotel to watch the Fireworks from our hotel room that was pretty neat.

Feb. 4, 2009

9:00 am ready for our Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique appointment this was another thing the girls were really excited and waiting to do. Our appointment started at 10:30 we got there a bit early so we went into a few shops we went into the Disney Toy Store where the girls were the the first in the store and they got to strait the huge train that goes around the ceiling of the store. The clerk then gave them a certificate saying they were the conductors for that day. We then headed to the Boutique and sure enough it was our turn. The girls so so so excited they hopped up onto their chairs and the glitz and glam began. Here again I took so many pics you could probably turn them into a video I think I took one for every movement plus many video I might of went a little overboard. Bella was smiling from ear to ear. Makenna I think was in shock I kept asking her if she was loving it she sat there like a statue so I wasn't sure what she thought but she kept telling me she was loving it. I could see the twinkle in her eyes. Their hair was put up in the tightest bun I ever saw I did a lot of buns in my day never any that tight poor buddies they sat there and took the pain and didn't say a peep. The Fairy Godmother in Training ( so they called them) put a crown in the bun and lots of glitter in their hair put makeup and nail polish on the girls and poof they were Glittery Princesses the magical moment the girls waited for was done they were the most two luckiest girls ever. The girls got a special bag to take home in the bag there was the makeup and nail polish glittery tattoos and a princess certificate. After they were all done we did a little shopping the girls got to pick out something they both picked out a charm bracelet and a necklace. Super excited they were. We decided to head back to the hotel but we had to stop at the Mickey Mouse Ear hat store cause you know you can't go to Disney World and come home without ears. The girls picked out princess Mickey ears pink of course it had a crown on it and a long veil I got their names put on the back of them they were to cute!! We got back to the hotel the excitement of all that was a lot for us we all needed to take a nap Makenna sat up for her nap Bella she sleeps all over the bed. Their hair stayed in place for all that, they really gooped their hair with some good products!!!HAHAHA

Feb. 5, 2009

We all had a good nights rest and our goal that day was to be out of the hotel by 9:00 to go back to Magic Kingdom. We hopped on the shuttle and off we were. We arrived at Magic Kingdom it was a cold, cold, cold day but we were all to excited to let it bother us plus we were use to this kind of weather. We first headed to the Flying Dumbo ride since we thought it wouldn't be so busy we loved that ride of course. After that ride we headed to Ariel's Grotto to do another photo all the photos we had done from the other day were with the girls together we wanted to get some of the girls with the princesses by themselves. We waited in that line for only 20 some minutes. Off to the other Princesses plus the warmth of the building was quite nice. The girls again loved every moment of this. We checked out all the stuff at Toontown it was so much fun. Our goals that day were to ride Dumbo, find SNOW WHITE, ride Winnie the Pooh ride, ride the BUZZ LIGHTYEAR ride, check out Monsters Inc laugh floor, ride the Teacups again. we were in luck we did all plus some more. We went on the Buzz light year ride it was fun Bella and I really liked it I think Makenna was a bit afraid it was dark and we shot a lot of bad guys!! The Monster Inc Laugh floor was cute and funny!! We then went on the Winnie the Pooh ride the line on this ride was 65 minutes we were some troopers and stood in line for this ride it was pretty fun not sure it was worth the 65 minute wait. The girls were very good for that long wait good thing I had lots of snacks and there were some kids in line that were the girls age to play with. We searched the park for Snow White and we found her we took many pics and did a little shopping. We also saw Daisy Duck in the same area as Snow White we took more pics. We went on It's A Small Small World I though this was a bit weird but the girls enjoyed this one. Oh what a day it was our energy tanks were empty by now it was time to go after the 7 hours we were there. I still don't believe that I took the girls to this wonderful place. I would recommend this to everyone. I now know why they call it Magic Kingdom, it is so magical it is defiantly where all your dreams come true I know all of ours did. This was the best trip ever, we were sad sad sad that Tom couldn't join us for this but we took many pics and video for him, we were very fortunate girls that we could join Tom on this trip. Thank you so much Daddy for everything. This concludes the trip to FLORIDA hope you all enjoy I will send you all a website where you can view the photos of the trip.

Well the girls are so so so excited to go to FLORIDA!!!! I guess I am a bit excited myself. The girls keep reminding me that they want to bring their princess dress and wear it to meet their princesses. Bella of course is wearing her Ariel dress, Makenna's choice is of course Cinderella they keep telling me that they want to be naked under the dress NO CLOTHES MOM!!! I guess we will see.
The girls are so into dressing up I caught them in action singing with the barbie and the diamond castle dresses, I have some short video for you. Bella is wearing the Alexa Barbie dress, Makenna is wearing the Lianna Barbie dress, singing the songs that the barbie girls sing on the movie Barbie and The Diamond Castle. They also have the Barbies that go with the Diamond and the castle the barbies have a button on them when you press it the songs will play. That's when the girls sing along. Very cute!!

Well sorry I haven't written in a long time. Happy Birthday to Tom today, the big 39 Ahhhhhh next year will be the big one 40 me 30 and our 5 year anniversary!!! Party Time!!!!

If you haven't heard the family are heading to Florida the girls and I are joining Tom there while Tom is at class. We are heading down there on February 2, Tom is heading down there Feb. 1, he will be in class all week for work, while the girls and I are going to visit Disney World!!! We are all so very excited and fortunate that we get this opportunity.

I had ordered this dvd on line just so we could see what Disney world was all about and get some ideas on what we should do. Makenna of course ran into her room got all dressed up as Cinderella from head to toe, she had told Bella to be a little kid and come and hug her like they do at Disney World. HAHAHA these kids are quite goofy.

Bella she is super excited to see Ariel, we are going to try to have lunch with the princesses and go to some princess hair salon where they can get makeup and hair and nails done and dress up like the princesses. Bella wants to see the Little mermaid play. We have 3 days to try to shoot for all this. Hopefully we can. I can not wait to see their faces when this all goes down. I will probably be crying my eyes out for how excited I will be to see the girls dreams come true. What a great thing for the girls, they are some lucky little munchkins. I am very thankful that this could all happen. Many pictures will be taken and lots of video too.

My blog will defiantly grow when we get back.

The girls had their first day back to dance, Makenna was a bit naughty I guess we don't get out enough. I was so embarrassed. Needless to say we had a long talk after dance on how to behave at dance class or else. That night we had more talks about it. This morning I was telling her again and her remark was I know mom you told me 55 times a week today. Where do they come up with these things.

2009-01-06T04:48:00.000-08:00

Well it's back to school today YEAH!! The girls and I are both very excited. It has been a long 2 weeks. This year for the New Year we stayed home and ate a lot of junk food, I bought some blowers for the girls and some poppers, we even had some ginger ale bubbly the girls thought that was cool. We celebrated our new years at 8:30 then to bed we go. It was a good way to bring in the new year. We also go to celebrate Makenna and Bella's friends birthday on December 30 at the Mall of America. Of course I forgot my camera. Boy did we have a blast we went on the rides and ate at the Rainforest Cafe. Thank you so much Roder Family we had fun that day and it was good to see you all again!!! You think the girls would be non stop playing all the time with all the wonderful gifts that they received at Christmas but oh no they must play where ever i am!! Stinkers... I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays I know we did.. I hope every one enjoys the new year!!

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

What a great Christmas the girls had a blast. I don't think I had seen the girls so happy and excited for something!! They have been waiting for this day for a good 2 months. Well it came and they ripped and tore their way through it. Tom and I and the girls had Christmas at home on the 24th we hung out all day and then had a great supper the girls wanted to open presents all day long. I made them wait until we had supper and all the dishes were put in the dish washer. Then it was present time. Were they so excited!! I think it took a whole 12 minutes to get through everything. Bella she would open and enjoy what she got she wanted to take it out of the box and play with it for a bit. Makenna on the other hand was rip and tear give me another rip and tear. They sat and played for hours, way to excited for bed that night. But they knew Santa was coming so they had to go to bed if they wanted Santa to stop here!! Tom and I had woke up early we figured Makenna would be up and we wanted to record the whole thing and take pictures. But the kids must of been so tuckered out from the night before I ended waking them up. I went into their room and was like "girls oh my gosh Santa was here" Makenna flew right out of her bed I had to tell her to wait so I could get Bella up and have them see their gifts at the same time. We then went into the new room and the girls were so amazed that Santa had brought all this stuff for them!! They loved it all. Everything about it was so amazing, to see the girls faces light up over everything in that 24 hours, was a very special moment for me!! Makes my heart melt. So now it's Christmas Day I had to work and Tom took the kids to Grandma Ruth's and Papa Franks for Christmas with the Huber's. Tom had said that the girls were in heaven. I guess Makenna talked grandma Ruth into opening presents before dinner. Little Stinker. I got home form work and wow they girls came at me with so many gifts and so much to tell me about Christmas day at grandma Ruth's. I guess they are two lucky girls to get the things that they did. Thank you so much Frank and Ruth for the gifts, Thanks Ann and Greg, and thank you Kris and Brent, I hope you all had a great Christmas I know that the girls and Tom enjoyed it very much. Now it was off to Grandma Sue's for Christmas. I could tell that the girls were getting a little tuckered out but stayed strong and kept going. We had a great supper there and then it was present time. The girls went crazy and boom it was done By then everyone was spent and it was time to go home. Thanks everyone for the gifts. I think Makenna and Bella tried hard to stay up and play with everything but knew that they were to tired to do so. Well Christmas was great but I am glad its all over with. What great memories!! That was our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!! Thanks for Everything.

Good Bye Mary, Hello Dorothy!!!!

You guessed it we now have a Dorothy on our hands!! Poor Bella she's told that she is the scarecrow!! Man Dorothy sure knows how to pose. Where she gets this from I'm not sure. Mary sure didn't last long! Danae had called us to tell us that The Wizard of Oz is on Makenna about had a heart attack I never seen her get out of the tub so fast and get her pj's on and brush her teeth so she could watch the movie! Talk about excited! We have been locked in the house all day because of this beautiful snow storm!!! Needless to say we are all going a little crazy!! All Bella Beans wants to do is eat I keep hearing from her ( I'm hungry lets have a snack ) who made up the word snack. Hopefully it's above 5 degrees and no wind chill so we can go outside to play!! The joy of living in Minnesota!!!

Makenna and Bella Dance

Time for Tap!!

Let's stretch for Pointe (Ballet)

Makenna and Bella's Hello Neighbor Song

This is what they usually start with at dance!!

The Girls love dance so much!!

On this day the parents got to sit in and watch, usually we sit in a room and watch from a window. We also got to see what their recital costume was going to look like. It's super cute I know the girls probably will not take them off once we get them!! I think the recital is going to be so cute. Their Pointe song is When you wish upon a star, and Tap is Do you Believe in Magic. It's going to be so cute!! Their recital is May 29th, 30th, and 31st. I hope that they are brave enough to perform!!!

Girls and Christmas

2008-12-17T06:26:00.000-08:00

Well I decided to wrap a few presents and put them under the tree the other day. Thinking the girls wouldn't touch the gifts and just look at them. Well they did sit right next to them and look at them for half the day!! They are very excited. Later that day Bella comes screaming to me mom Makenna opened my present. I didn't think that they would do such a thing I had told them many of times that they can't open these gifts til Christmas. So I asked Makenna why she opened Bella's present well she said to me "Mom I was mad at Bella" I then asked Bella did you see what was in the present? She had this great smile on her face "yeah it was something Barbie!!!" I tried so hard not to laugh but I couldn't help it she was so darn cute. I then told Bella that she could have Makenna's present. Now every time Makenna is mean to Bella she comes to me and says I get Makenna's present? I re wrapped Bella's gift, wrapping it about three times over and over again I don't think she will get into it when she does open it.

The Tree I can't forget about the tree the girls will not stop touching the tree all the ornaments move from one side to the other side just to where they can reach so every day the tree looks different. The dog keeps eating the bottom of the tree so that is bare, at least he smells good now.

We had gotten a lot of snow the other day and it had gotten really warm. The snow was perfect for snowman building. We had gone out to make a huge snowman the girls were so excited, so was Buzzsaw he was a bit afraid of the snowman it was quite large. The girls decided to play king of the snow hill with Buzzsaw. I think he was named King of the Hill!! The girls got their butt kicked by the dog. He would attack them at their hats and take them down. The girls didn't quite get it. I guess they are like their mom not much of a fighter!!

This month has been a busy month. This last weekend we went to Toms work to see Santa and have cookies. We got there the girls were so excited. We entered the building and they saw Santa and a clown and some freaks painting faces and coloring hair, the girls were super afraid. Bella she clung to Tom like a spider monkey crawling up him and trying to stay away from every freak in sight. All she wanted was a cookie and some milk, then it was lets hit the road dad. Makenna on the other hand she was a bit braver and sat on Mrs.clauses lap she was determined to tell Santa what she wanted her exact words "A pink princess dress, princess jewelery,princess shoes and a princess crown and a princess wand" I think she was so scared but set on telling the old jolly guy what she wanted, I don't think she even looked at him. Sorry the picture didn't turn out so good, I was moving when I took it trying not to laugh. It was way to cute. Toms work had a great children's holiday party they had lots to do but my girls afraid of everything,They decided lets eat some cookies and have some milk, get our treat bags and split. Well I guess that they had a good enough time treats and all.

Makenna's Weekly Obsession, this week Mary Poppins. Makenna's new name this week yes it's Mary Poppins!! I already have had enough of A Spoon Full Of Sugar Makes The Medicine Go Down. Well can't wait to see what next week obsession brings!!

Ok everyone that is reading this there is a lot of mistakes in the blogs. First of all the girls were bothering me all day I was trying to concentrate on the blog but the girls kept pulling me away from this. Makenna was pulling Bella around the house like a dog with a leash around her neck so Bella was choking which then I had to go away from the computer and control that situation. Then both girls were screaming at me that the dog was eating something and I had to go and get it. I also have been on some sort of planet lately. For those who don't know I was expecting and had lost the baby. That definitely puts my mind else where. Maybe I should of waited till the kids went to bed or when I could just focus on this. Oh well now I know better! Oh I guess I thought the timing was right and maybe this would help me take my mind off other things. The spelling is horrific and things are not written well sorry about that.( I even used spell check). Makenna's Birthday is August 30th 2004. I was going to go and fix the mistakes but pressed the wrong button and sent it to everyone. Sorry well hopefully things get better and hope you keep checking out the Huber Blog..
Lots of Love

The Girls had a Holiday Concert on December 5, 2008. They were so excited I kept asking them what songs that they were going to sing they wouldn't tell me anything it was going to be a surprise. It was a surprise there was about 15 little songs they sang it was so so cute.

Makenna she wasn't in to it as much as Bella. Bella was getting her groove on with all the actions they were doing!! They both did really well. I am surprised they both sat up on the stage!!

Makenna wanted to wear a dress that day. So I took them shopping and went looking for a dress the dresses were either to expensive or were really ugly, or maybe I couldn't make up my mind. Well we did decide on some red glittery shoes for Makenna and Bella she picked out shiny black dress shoes. Makenna wore her shoes all day and all night she even rolled her pants up at the concert so everyone could see them. That night she wanted to wear them to bed. I told her she couldn't wear her shoes to bed so she settled for them right next to her bed. I think they ended up in her bed anyway. She wore them straight for a week, she put them on when she woke up to when she went to bed.

Bella what a relaxed kid she just does what she wants, there are no worries for that munchkin. Though she is starting to get into the princess dress up thing with all the glitz an glam. I ask her what kind of stuff that she wants for christmas and she says girl stuff mom. My little Bella Beans getting to be such a big girl.

What great girls they are!!!

The Start of the Blog!

This is the Huber family Blog!! Our wonderful family is, Thomas (Tom) 39, Megan 29, Makenna 4, Isabella 3 and our lovely dog Buzzsaw 10 months.

What a great way to keep our families up to date with our lives!! Thank you for the great idea Ashleigh and Lyndsay!! I have been meaning to do this for a long time, I guess you can say I am a bit of a procrastinator.

Tom and I met in the fall of 2003, we then quickly found out that we were expecting our little princess Makenna (when I say princess I mean PRINCESS ), who was born on August 11, 2004 at 8:58 pm she weighed 9lbs 13oz and was 19 inches long. It was the most exciting time of my life. Becoming a mom! What a blessing she was!!!

Then three three of four months after Makenna was born we had another little surprise on the way (BELLA). With all the love in the air Tom then proposed to me in December in the most romantic way ever!!! We then decided to get married in January, to be exact it was January 14, 2005 I think it was the coldest day of the year but it was a very special day for Tom and I and little miss Makenna!!! Then came Bella Beans on August 11, 2005 at 10:14 am. What a little munchkin weighing in at 8lbs 10oz and 21 inches long. That day she came I was so ecstatic I had two perfect babies under the age of one. I wouldn't want it any other way it was all to perfect!! Two wonderful blessing in one year. I was the most blessed mother in the world with two wonderful precious babies!!!

Then came our puggle Buzzsaw who joined our family April of 2008. Another great addition to our family.Blessed indeed!!

That there is the start of the Huber Family!!

This is a great way to keep you all up to date with our life! Enjoy!

Tom, Megan, Makenna, and Bella
