Farewell....

I have everything packed and ready to go. Just waiting for Chris to get home and for the kids to get up from there naps. Then we are off to drop the kids off at grandma's and heading to the airport. I am so excited and nervous!! I cannot wait for our weekend! Plus, I'm sure my mom and Chris's mom will enjoy some quality time with their grandkids. Since their mommy is kind of a baby hog. =)

Anywho, I thought I would leave you a picture of all the babies at our house, YES, all of them, even though one is not ever mine. =)

And for my child that will never let me take her picture....
I love you all and can't wait to see you on Monday!!

Vegas bound....

Yes, you read that right....we are going to Las Vegas baby!! We are leaving this friday and coming back on monday. We were actually planning on going for Chris's birthday, but found a deal we couldn't pass up for this weekend!! I'm am very excited, but a little nervous too. I am worried about leaving my kids for that long. The little ones have NEVER been without their momma for that long. I didn't even let Keagan stay the night anywhere until she was 17 months old and I got put in the hospital with Deakon. =) So, Deakon being only 6 months old, this momma is a little nervous. I know THEY will be fine, its ME that I'm worried about. I'm hoping I will be able to enjoy this little getaway with my hubby and not miss all 3 of my babies too much. =)

As for anything else going on with us....Keagan got a stomach virus Wednesday night and woke me at 12:30 to a crib full of vomit. I caught it and woke up friday morning vomitting. It was by far the worst stomach virus EVER! My whole body hurt, and I just felt sick to my stomach every second of the day. Luckily, it only lasted about 24-48 hours. Chris woke up with it on Saturday morning. And saturday night, Farren came down with it. Poor guys, I felt so bad for everyone. Needless to say, I have now lost 17 pounds! Woohoo!! And as of this morning, both Keagan and Deakon are still snotty and have a cough. What is up? We have been to the doctor 4 times in the last month for this and they keep telling me it will go away within 7-10 days and to continue cough\congestion medicine. Its NOT WORKING!!! I feel so bad for them, I can hear them wake themselves in the middle of the night from coughing. Hopefully, we will all be well soon! Hope everyone is having a great week!

It's soooo fun to be 2!

And feeling better!!!

Deakon's New\Old Toy???

We got out Keagan's old excersaucer a couple of weeks ago, a new toy for Deakon to play with. They BOTH love it actually. And he is absolutely having a blast in it. I'm so glad some of the things we had for Keagan are universal and we are able to reuse them for Deakon.

Sick, Sick, Sick...

Deakon woke up last Saturday extremely snotty and with a small cough, so come Monday morning we were off to the doctor office. The doctor told us that he had an upper respiratory infection, but since he was under 6 months (by 2 weeks), we could not give him anything and it would have to pass on its own. She did give me some ear drops for him because she said his little ear was red, not infected, just irritated. We had our follow up appointment today and little man just isn't getting any better. He did however gain 6 ounces since last week and grow 1/2 inch......or maybe someone measured wrong. =) She finally decided to give him some medicine for his cough and congestion. The poor thing is hacking up flem and choking on it while he is sleeping....so SCARY! So, hopefully, we will be on the road to recovery. Why does it seem like as soon as you get one kid better, the next one gets sick????

Aren't they the cutest???

Sleepy babies on a Saturday afternoon.....

Staying motivated....

Well, I figured since I am probably done having kids.....probably....ha ha! Just kidding...we are done. Anyway, I figure its time to lose the baby weight and the happy marriage weight. =) Now seems like the perfect time. Its the beginning of a new year, I can no longer breastfeed, and well, I'm just tired of carrying it around. =) I started a new diet last tuesday and as of today, I have lost 13 pounds. Not to shabby. Hopefully, by summer, I will have shed all the weight I want to . Not that I will ever be able to wear a bikini again, thanks to c sections and stretchmarks. =) Soooooooooo...here is to staying motivated! And to anyone out there trying to shed some baby weight, or just trying to shed weight. Good luck, I'm right there with you!!!

My motivation....

Where is my makeup??

Why I love my husband....

I turned on my camera to take some pictures and found this.....

Always something to make me laugh!

2 year check up....

Since Keagan was sick on her actual birthday and on the day she was scheduled for her 2 year check up. We had to reschedule to have it done today. Dr. Baker said she looked wonderful and was doing very well. She is a bit on the smaller side for her age, but nothing to worry because she IS growing. She weighed in at 24 pounds, and 33 inches in the height department. Her head was 39 centimeters!! =) One thing I did find odd though, they asked what our zip code was and when I told her, she said our area was on some list for high lead exposure???? Apparently there have been some cases for lead exposure in certain areas, and because of it, they are testing children in those areas. So, Keagan didn't get any shots but she did get a small finger prick, which she thought was hilarious, and had to give blood, which she thought was "pretty!" She was not upset one bit, I couldn't believe it. And we don't have to go back for her for a year!!! Woohoo!!!!!

Keagan turns 2!!

2 years old?????

Where did the time go for my little fairy? Keagans birthday is always hard because it follows right after christmas. Hard to plan between christmas and new years, hard to find presents she didn't get a christmas, and hard to differentiate it from christmas. Luckily, mommy has a december birthday, and my mother did an excellent job of all those things, so I have a little insight. =) My poor baby actually got sick on christmas day, and was not up for much of anything for about 5-6 days. I ended up taking her to the doctor ON her actual birthday....poor baby. What a horrible way to spend your birthday. She had a viral infection and basically we were told it would run its course in 7-10 days. She didn't want to open presents, eat, drink, move, watch tv, dance, play with bubba.....nothing. I have never seen a sickness take that kind of toll on her. It was horrible. So, needless to say, here actual birthday wasn't much of a birthday at all. Luckily, she was feeling much much better by her party the following weekend. We had a huge Tinkerbell party! Some of the little girls dressed up like fairies! It was so much fun! It just reminds me why I love having little girls all over again. We had a huge turnout and lots and lots of presents! Thank you everyone who showed up and for all the gifts! Keagan was definitely blessed in that department. And she absolutely loved opening each and every one! Between birthday and christmas, mommy is still trying to find room for everything. I already need a bigger house. =) After presents we ate some pizza, and some yummy cake!! And ofcourse watched the cowboys game, alot of our guests came dressed and prepared.

I can't believe that my little baby has blossomed into a little toddler already!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Keaganbear!!
