Update

So I have been with out a computer for over a month. Now it is back and hopefully we have no more problems.

So just a little of what we have been up to.

Hailee- Is enjoying school so much and is doing really well. In December she was student of the month and got to eat pizza with the principal. She is in a special reading class (special meaning she is advanced in reading) and loves it. She has grown up so much and is such a big help to me. She loves to write people notes and color pictures, and she does a good job at sounding out the words and writing them all by herself. She has also become quite the chatter box!

Johnathan- What can I say about this loving high energy boy. He loves to play outside and when Adam is home he follows him around. He graduated out of Nursery and is a Sunbeam. Although we have been having a difficult time getting him to go to Primary. He misses Nursery and the snacks. He loves to ask questions and pretty much will ask questions all day long. He tries to love on Kaylani but usually ends up smashing her.

Kaylani- She is 9 1/2 months old and is such a joy in our family. She is crawling and gets into everything. She ways doing good with eating solids, but a couple weeks ago she decided she did not want to eat solids. So I am still nursing full time. I am definitely not used to this and it has been frustrating at times, especially since I feel like I can't leave . She does eat cheerios and bread.
She had 3 teeth and is working on 3 more. Which could be why she is not eating and not sleeping very good.

In December she went to the doctor and he said she has Eczema really bad. So after much screaming, 2 long weeks later we got it under control. Now I have to put lotion on her 2 times a day so her skin does not get inflamed. Even with all of this she is a very happy baby and loves her mommy!

Adam and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary in December. We enjoyed a movie and a Pizza after the kids went to bed, which was pretty nice.

I am sure I am missing so much but I can't remember it all right now.

Halloween

This year Halloween came so fast that we were picking out costumes at the last minute. The kids kept changing their minds.

Johnathan decided to be Superman and Hailee decided to be Belle .

We went to the church and Kaylani and I handed out candy while Adam took the other 2 around to all the trunks. The kids had fun getting lots of candy.

I did not get a picture of Kaylani, she was a cheerleader.

Johnathan turns 3

I am behind in writing about this but, better late than never! I can't believe that my baby boy is 3. Although according to Johnathan he has been 3 for a long time. He never liked being 2, he would tell me that he likes 3 better.

Happy 3rd Birthday Johnathan!

I decorated the house and we had a small birthday party. Johnathan had a hard time deciding what kind of cake, but finally deciding on a train cake.

Things I want to remember: Johnathan, knows how to make me laugh, especially when he is in trouble. He has the cutest saddest face and at times makes very difficult to get him in trouble.

He is very loving and brings so much laughter to our family.

He doesn't really have a favorite food, which makes it hard to feed him

I find it funny that he strongly dislikes mustard. When we have hot dogs he stands right by me and makes sure I don't put mustard on his plate.

He doesn't really like mayo or sandwiches. Lately he has been eating PB and Jelly, but I usually have to bribe him to eat it.

He is very energetic and loves to be outside. He loves to help Adam work on the truck and help him fix things around the house.

It is so cute to see Johnathan follow Adam around and do what ever he does.

Johnathan was helping Adam work outside and both of them were so dirty!

Pictures from the last few weeks

Kaylani is 6 months. I just love that smile!

On Sept. 28th Adam turned the big 30!

Of course I had to make a big deal about him turning 30,

especially since he was not thrilled about it and he just wanted it to be any other day.

I cut out the number 30 and decorated the house with alot of 30's! Oh and I surprised him at work with balloons and let everyone know that it was his birthday! Aren't I so sweet!

Us at the D-Backs game!

My birthday was a couple of weeks after Adam's

and usually we celebrate both of ours and go out

to eat, but we weren't able to. I had a nice day

anyways. Adam spoiled me, by taking care of the

kids, and making me dinner.

Hailee felt bad that I didn't have any presents, so

she went and got some change out of our piggy bank

and put it in an envelope and made me a card. What a

sweet heart! My best present ever! Then she felt bad

cause there were no decorations, so her and Johnathan

colored pictures and hung them all over the house.

It was a nice day, especially since I got lots of yummy

treats that day .

This is what Hailee's shoe looks like every

day after school.

And every day we empty out her shoes!

2 of my many joys and 2 reasons why I get up every morning!

Update!

Kaylani is 6 months already! She is finally feeling better after getting over another ear infection and a really bad cold. Before she was sick she was going to bed at 8:00 and sleeping until 4am then she would wake up eat for like 2 mins and then fall back asleep.
She does not like her schedule to be messed with, which is nice but frustrating cause I can't go any where because her naps get in the way. When I don't have to run errands she usually takes a good 2 hour nap in the morning and a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.
She has so far been my most clingy baby, I can't go anywhere without her. If i put her down to go do something she is not happy. She wants me to hold her constantly. She really doesn't like to be on her tummy, she will play for a couple minutes on her back but then starts crying and wants me to hold her. She tends to cry alot as I have to put her down and do other things, I keep thinking she will grow out of it, but she hasn't. She also is my only one that won't take a bottle or eat baby food. She just wants to nurse, which is frustrating cause I don't feel like I am producing enough milk for her cause lately she wants to eat like every hour.



Wow as I looked over what I wrote, I sound so negative. Despite all those little minor things Kaylani is definitely a blessing, she is so cuddly and is very happy and content, when she is being held. She has brought so much love and joy in our home, the kids love her to death and are constantly loving on her. She is very spoiled! I love how when she wakes up and she sees me through her half open eyes and gives me the biggest smile. She loves to give kisses and hugs. She to give the biggest smiles!

Even though there are many times that I just wish she would be content on the floor while I do things, is all she has to do is look at me with her sad little face and I just melt.

She is her happiest in the mornings and of course when I am holding her.

D-backs game

For sometime know Johnathan has been asking and asking to go to a Baseball game, so one day we decided to take the family and go. We got some cheap tickets and we went on a night that they were doing fireworks, so that was a bonus. We told the the kids and of course Johnathan was so excited and said that it was the best day ever. Hailee on the other hand was not thrilled one bit. We tried to tell how much fun she was going to have and she said, " I'll go, but I am not going to have any fun." (she did have fun).

We got to the ball park and to our seats and Johnathan was soooo excited, then his excitement turned to sadness when her realized that he can't go and play baseball with them. Johnathan sat and watched the entire game, it was so funny and he would yell when he heard people yelling and boo when he heard that. Like I said Hailee did have fun. After the game we stayed for the fireworks and the kids enjoyed that as well, even Kaylani stayed awake for them and enjoyed them too. The game wasn't much to get excited about, the D-backs weren't having a good season. But it was the memories that were established.

My computer is being way to slow, so I will post pictures later!
