wrestling and crawling

sunday was a november birthday dinner at my dad and Angie's house. Steak and potatoes, ice cream cake for dessert. YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The kids all got to play together. I wish I took pictures of it. Chev was acting the part of Big sister for her little cousins. She took care of "Baby Ben" as she calls him. She made sure no one closed the doors on his fingers and she seemed to always be near him, it was rather cute!

Before we went over there I had Chey playing on the floor in her room and I walked out for a second and returned quickly when I heard her laughing HYSTERICALLY...I walked in to see Chev laying on top of Chey and they were both laughing...Daniel said they were wrestling...just like daddy used to! SO cute!

Chev has newly become really attached to Chey. She tells me all the time "me want my baby sister" and she hugs her and always wants to be near her.

Chey is basically full fledged crawling...she just crawls weird. She goes from the crawling position to sitting like an old pro now. Did I mention she isnt 6 months old yet. Chev didnt do any of this until she was 7 1/2 months old! WOW my baby is growing up tooooooo quick!

So proud i had to share!

Below is an email I received from my MIL :

Subject: NO WAY!!!!!!

So Chevlynn is sitting on the floor with her people and she is putting them in the bus. WAIT A MINUTE! DID YOU HEAR THAT?!

Chevlynn: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!"

Nana: RIGHT!

AMAZING!

end email


OMG my little 2 year old counted to ten all by herself today!!!! WOW up until today she has been making us think she could only count to 3 which she has been doing since she started talking! WOW!

i love a cute boy

This morning on my way to drop the girls off Chev announced to me. "Daddy Cute boy" then she told me "me tell daddy 'you cute boy' " I couldnt help but laugh a little. Then she told me "mommy love cute boy"

Kids are soooooooo cute!!!

growing tooooooooooooooooo fast

I also took the girls to the dr for their colds last week.

Chey is now 15lb 6oz! and just a ball of cuteness...

not to mention she started sitting on her own and is now working on crawling. she gets up and lunges herself forward and gets up on her hands and knees and rocks....she has the knee movement down but can figure out her arms! Chev has been trying to show her how its done....so cute

turning 25

Last wednesday I celebrated my 25th Birthday!! I cant believe I am 25 already. I spent the day going nuts with my kids. Once Daddy got home I left with my MIL, SIL and my mom to the casino to partake in some B-I-N-G-O action. FUN. I got a free Happy Birthday Dobber and $10 off my games. It was a lot of fun but none of us won..BUMMER. It was a good time. I also go my Pampered Chef starter kit....ITS AMAZING!! AND i found out I won a cookie lee drawing. free jewelry

All around good birthday, only thing that would have made it better would have been if some of my family had remembered my birthday! oh well

random thoughts of feeling accomplished

Today I am feeling great about everything.


Yes I am sick and so are the kids but guess what...they are still happy (for the most part)

Yes I am alittle older then I was yesterday...I am also one day wiser!

Yes my house is messy....but I have some many great memories and experiences of painting with chev or rolling around on the floor with chey.
I will take a messy house over missing those days!

Yes its true, I dont have a lot of money...but I make due with what I have and I am taking the steps to improve my income...and I couldnt be happier with the path I picked...Pampered Chef is AMAZING

Yes I am new to it but my recruiter is so proud of my for booking 4 cooking shows before i even recieved my kit.


Yes i go crazy sometimes because my kids drive me nuts....but god do i love them more then anything

yes my husband drives me crazy sometimes too....but seriously...does it doesnt get any better then him...HE IS THE MOST AMAZING MAN I KNOW!! Best father, best husband, best support EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes my friends are few....but I love the ones I have. And I wouldnt trade them in for anything. I dont talk to them as much as I should....but I think about them often!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes sometimes I say I hate my job...but I have it good there and I LOVE most of the patients. I love that they know me and I know them.
I think I might work there forever!!!!

Its my day off...its MY day. And today I feel accomplished in my day and in my life.

p.s. its my 25th birthday today and I am leaving the kids with hubby tonight and going to the casino with just the girls!!!

ARRRRGGGG Siver me timbers.....

Well this was the very first Halloween Chev went trick or treating. Thanks to her amazing Nana Pink and Aunt Lay-Lee she was FULLY prepared. She was so excited. In fact here is an email Nana Pink sent to me on Halloween while I was at work

"Chevlynn is very excited about going to Halloween. She's been preparing all day. She took a shower, combed her hair, got all her toys together in her various pip or pete bags (this is how she says trick or treat) and is jumping all over the place. I can't wait til tonight! If you use the pirate costume teddy will have one, too. Allycia has a pirate costume for Earnie and it fits Teddy just right."

She truly was excited! Unfortunately....I am a BAD mommy and I forgot to take pictures of teddy dressed up as a pirate too...maybe I can redress him on Monday!? He looked almost as cute as Chev. We had a few different outfits for chey...all of which were meant for 60-70's weather...soooooooooooooo my poor baby wore a sun outfit and a halloween headband. Next year we will dress her up super cute!!!

So chev did amazing with the trick or treating until she realized her mommy and daddy slipped a movie in her bag that she has been begging for for the past few weeks...the new tinkerbell movie. As soon as she saw it she didnt say anything she just sat there and said, "me ready go home!" when we asked her why she told us she wanted to go home and watch her new movie Little turd wasnt supposed to look until we got home!! oh well!

Nana Pink helped Chev get dressed

Chey patiently waited in the stroller...eager to get going

On her way up to the first house.....

YAY that was soooooo fun...she was sooooooo excited!

Getting to become a pro

I wish this one wasnt so blurry...its my favorite!!! but she was checking out her loot!

Her Excitement shows!!!!...on to our neighborhood!

Yummmm since chey couldnt have an candy she decided her halloween bow/headband...(made by me) would taste better then nothing!
