Valentine's Day 2009

Ok, so the girls and I have been taking advantage of some really pretty weather and have been spending some time outside. We decided to draw on the driveway the other day and here is what we have done.

On the other hand, we have a new video of Sadee on our MySpace page. She has learned how to say Uh-oh and how to wave bye-bye. Check it out when you get a chance! Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day 2009!

Oh and if you look at your computer screen at an angle, you can see the chalk writing better.

Peyton's 5th Birthday

Well Peyton's Birthday party at our house turned out great. Absolutely everyone showed up and we greatly appreciate that. Peyton loved seeing all of his cousins, aunt and uncles and grandparents, and thanks everyone for his presents. As you will see in some of the pics, my mom, Sissi, was giving pedicures and poor Trip ended up with a bow in his hair despite his father's protests. Oh well, Carlton. That's what you get when you leave Trip with us girls! :-) Anyway, thanks again for everyone showing up! We love you!


Happy Birthday, Peyton!

An Update on My Two Girls

Well, as of yesterday, Sadee is officially 10 months old. Every time I look at her now and realize how big she is I almost get tears in my eyes. She had a check-up yesterday and weighed 20lbs and 11oz and is 29 inches long. She is in the 100th percentile. She is finally crawling as of 2 weeks ago and from that day on she has just taken off and has also finally learned to be a little more independent. If you know Sadee, you know that that little girl can't stand to not be glued to my hip for one minute. But now that she has become mobile, there are times where I will be making her food or something and by the time I'm done, I have to go look for her. When she realizes that I can't find her, she starts giggling and then gives herself away. She has her own little language which me and Scott can understand. She will say something in her baby language and we will know that she means "dog". She loves our boxer, Maverick. Anyway, she is a healthy little girl who is just growing way too fast for us.

As for my sweet, precious Kaily, she recently had her two front teeth pulled out. :-( See, when she was 2 or 3, she fell and landed right on her front two teeth which of course killed the roots. So when the dentist looked at the X-rays of her teeth, she said that Kaily had to have them pulled because the dead roots would start decomposing and cause an infection in her permanent teeth that are right behind the roots. So, I went ahead and set the day and when we walked into the dentist's office, it was all I could do to keep the tears from flowing. I had already cried the day before because I knew that it would alter her appearance greatly with her two front teeth missing. On top of that...her next two permanent teeth won't come in until she's 7 or 8 years old. So, it's not like these teeth are going to come right on down just because her baby teeth were pulled. Anyway, Kaily did wonderful during the procedure, at least that's what the dentist said, and she looks Adorable with a capital A. Everytime she smiles, it makes me smile because the toothless look just makes her look too cute. All her friends at school also think that it's cool that she has already lost her two front teeth. Our Kaily is a trooper. Sissi and Bud did help her recover the day of the procedure because she was pretty puffy and the blood that was still there really bothered her so she did cry quite a bit after we left the dentist.

And as for our son, Peyton, he's been doing great as well. He has his 5th birthday coming up at the beginning of February and we plan on taking him to Wolf Lodge.

We showed Elmo to Sadee for the first time yesterday and she went crazy and loved it! Still no crawling yet!

Putting up the Tree

This year we decided to venture away from the pre-lit artificial tree that we used last year and went for a real one. After going back to the store to get more lights and constantly vacuuming up more and more pine needles, I say it is safe to say that we are going back to an artificial tree next year. Although the smell of the Christmas tree brings a lovely feeling to our home, all the work that went into it along with chasing all the kids around makes me exhausted. Oh well...all in the spirit of the season I guess....right?

The Holidays

Well, I have been horrible at taking any pictures during the beginning of the holiday season. I am just extremely worn out by Sadee's teething. Her top two teeth have finally cut and it seems that they come in two's. She has been pretty uncomfortable and the late night screaming has exhausted me. Thanksgiving night those teeth kept Scott and I up until 4am. I will definitely NOT miss her teething days.

On the bright side, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my parents and Scott's parents'. Although it was pretty hectic driving all over the place.

Sadee has finally started rocking back and forth on her knees and can actually scoot herself around on her bottom. Once she figured out that she was traveling on her own, she got pretty excited. Last night she scooted herself all the way over to her excer-saucer and pulled herself up onto her knees. Kind of crazy. After she got up there she couldn't figure out what to do next so she would plop down onto her bottom again. She pulled herself up onto her knees about 3 times and then figured that it was pretty boring after that. She will either be crawling any day or pulling herself up to a standing position. Maybe both...who knows? Kaily and Peyton are both great big brother and sister to her. Whenever I need a little break to clean the house a little or have a somewhat peaceful lunch, I just have them play with her until I am done and they don't complain one bit. Kaily and Peyton have both proven to be the best little helpers I could ask for while Daddy is at work all day long.
