New Year's Eve

I'm so blessed with my wonderful family and friends. Praying that everyone has a safe and Happy New Year!

Monthly Desktops

I love changing my desktops every month and updating them with the latest pictures of the kiddos. One of my favorite digi scrap booking sites Shabby Princess posts a free desktop every month and all you have to do is plop in the pictures. I love the kits I've bought from this site. They also have free kits. Check out there site and the desktop is under the blog tab. http://www.shabbyprincess.com/downloads.asp Here's mine for the month of January.

More December Time fun

Lightsaber Dueling

For Christmas Santa brought Jaxon 2 lightsabers and then Aunt Gina got him one also. Ever since then there have been nonstop duels. They are quiet entertaining. Hope ya'll enjoy.

Merry Christmas to All

I have really enjoyed the morning with the family. Now I'm off to work to relieve my coworkers so they can enjoy the afternoon. Here are some pictures of this mornings fun. Jaxon was camera shy but when he got his camera he went picture taking crazy like mommy. Within 15 minutes he had already taken 77 pictures. Merry Christmas to all.

Christmas Eve

The Tradition in my family is to spend Christmas Eve with my family. We had a great time. My brother in law was discharged from the hospital yesterday so he was able to be there with us. It was a whirlwind. Chloe and Jaxon had so much fun and helped open Kaylee's presents for her. I'm stuffed and exhausted but had to post some pics. Enjoy. Now off to bed before Santa comes. :)

Fun Tonight

Looking forward to the week ahead.

Today's my last day of work until Christmas. I work 3p-11p on Christmas day which I feel really lucky to have it that way. We do Christmas at my family's on Christmas Eve evening and I will be home to do Santa witht he Babies on Christmas day. I will miss Christmas with the in-laws but we will catch up on the day after Christmas. Got bunches to do. Cooking, wraping and one or two more gifts to make. On top of all the regular business my brother-n-law Dewayne had a massive heart attack Thursday. He just got out of ICU and is doing better. He is truely lucky because there was minimal heart muscle damage. My Niece Chloe got to play with us Friday and she is going to be with us Monday and Tuesday of this week. Chloe and Jaxon play really good together and she loves helping with baby Kaylee and being Aunt Jenny's big helper. We are praying that Dewayne gets out of the hospital before Christmas. Well hoping everyone is well and has a safe and very Merry Christmas.

More Kaylee

Jason took Jaxon out tonight to get a hair cut and to let Jaxon get Kaylee a Christmas present. While they were gone we had a photo shoot. Jaxon was tired when he got home so he wouldn't let me take pictures of him, I'll try to get some of his new do tomorrow. Oh and I forgot to mention how big Kaylee is now 10 pounds 9 ounces and 23 inches long.

Kaylee at 2 months

We went for our 2 month shots today. Kaylee did great and Mommy was fine it was Jaxon that had a hard time. I told him that we were giving her medicine to help her grow strong. He was OK with her getting the roto vaccine because it was a liquid, but after the first shot he started crying and asked us to stop. The nurse was great and went quickly. Jaxon Kissed Kaylee afterward and made it all better. Her little thighs are sore and we've done the normal Tylenol, warm compress and massage but every once and a while she will just start shrieking and can't be consoled. Jaxon is such a tender heart and so protective, I love it. Here are some pictures of Kaylee from yesterday and today.

Kaylee at 9 weeks

Time is going by too fast. It seems like she just got here. Here are some 9 week pictures and one of bi brother holding Kaylee.

Merry CHRISTmas

I am tired of xmas and the loss of the true meaning of CHRISTmas. A friend of mine sent me this and I really liked it. Hope you do too.

*Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*The politically correct police had taken away,*
*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*
*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*
*December 25th is just a " Holiday ".*

*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
*At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*
*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*
*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*

*Inclusive, sensitive, Diversity*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*
*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*
*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*

*So as you celebrate "Winter Break" under your "Dream Tree"*
*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*
*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!*

Back to Work

After a week of sickness I am heading back to work tomorrow.. Kaylee had double ear infections and a respiratory virus. Jason and I both had colds and Jason got a stomach virus. Jaxon avoided illness and Thank God because he just got off antibiotics on Thanksgiving for an ear infection. We've all had our turn. Looking forward to going back to work. A pay check is greatly needed, but I am going to miss Jason and the babies so much. I've enjoyed my time with them. I feel though that work enhances your appreciation of the time you have with your family. It gives me a change of scenery and makes me excited to come home. With flu/pneumonia season upon us I am praying that my first day back isn't too bad. Well off to bed so I can be alert. Hopefully my post pregnancy brain will not kick in too much tomorrow.

Long Time No Post

It's been a while since I've blogged. Still trying to find the balance of getting stuff done and making sure Kaylee and Jaxon get enough attention and time. I go to the doctor Monday to get cleared for work and should be back to it December 7th. Looking forward to being around adults and Praying for Jason's 1st day with the kiddos on his own. I know he will be fine. As for the kiddos....Jaxon is getting over an ear infection and has been a GREAT Big Brother. He is very gentle and he can't stand to see her cry. He trying to comfort her when she starts crying. Our Kaylee Bug has had a hard time getting her belly adjusted. The 1st formula left her with a lot of gas and in a lot of pain. We have changed to a formula with gas ease, with which she is doing better on. Here are the latest pictures of the kiddos that we took Wednesday.

I'm 30!!!

I turned 30 today and I had a great day. I have a wonderful husband that gave me a great day. Started with breakfast in bed. Ate out for lunch then walked around the mall and some other stores that I haven't been able to leasurely look around at. We were able to get Kaylee's Christmas Dress today and then when we came home my family and in-laws surprising me with cake and ice cream. It was a great day and here are some pictures from today.

Kaylee 3 Weeks Old

It seems like she just arrived but it has been 3 weeks now. I think your so tired at first that it flies by. We are having some Colic issues but Jax had Colic too and we know it will pass. Just hate seeing her uncomfortable and unhappy.

Halloween

Jaxon was a Dino for School that day and Buzz for Trick or Treats. For Kaylee's first Halloween she sported a Wonder Woman costume.

Pumkin Patch

We had a lot of fun at Priddy Farms. Our friend Heather Philips came with us and took these wonderful pics.
