Taylor's Third 3rd Birthday

Grandma Huber decided to get Taylor another cake. She got her a princess cake. Her cousins who are big fans of spidy and teenage mutant ninja turtles were not exremely thrilled with the cake but I think they still ate it anyway.
That's all for now.

People Holding The Babies

Some good pictures of friends and family holding the babies.
One picture of Uncle Pat and Presley both in their rock shirts
One is of Uncle pat holding Eastynn
Auntie Sylvia not holding but sitting next to her grandson Justin
The twins Lorna and Lois holding the 2 born on Dec 15th.
Also Unlce Pat holding Eastynn while Grandma Huber feeds her ice cream

That's all for now.

The Babies

While camping the girls got to meet some of there cousin's. Presley and Eastynn are in fact born on the same day. It was funny watching them together because Presley is so much bigger than Eastynn and laid back. But oh so adorable.
Then there is Justin he is going to be 1 on the 16th if I remember correctly. Him and Eastyn would play, play, play beside each other but it was fun to watch nonetheless.
That's all for now.

Aug Long Weekend

I know I should have done this hmmm about a week ago but either I can't post or somethng is always happening one of the girls getting upset.
So anyway....
Last weekend we went to Round Lake, Saskatchewan. Which made Grandma Huber extremely happy cause its been forever since we have been out that way.
We were suppose to leave Friday at 2 but got out of here early at around 11:30 but never let on that we had left early, so we surprised Grandma and Grandpa Huber. Who just had told Cara and Phil but hadn't got to tell Dorris and James yet so it was a nice surprise for some and a huge surprise for others.
We got to see lots of family and had a lot of fun watching the kids play.

2 Big Milestones Today

Today was a big day for the Huber's
We were driving home from Elkwater and Taylor was talking to much and getting on my nerves a little. So I said lets count. She started counting I said 1, she said 2, I said 2, and she did that all the way to 10. I started again and then at about 4 I realized my baby girl just counted to 10 all by herself. YEAH. I was so proud. Its really weird cause usually she just goes 1,2,1,2,1,2. And we have the occasional 1,2,3. But never anything more than that. It was really exciting.
And as for Little Miss Eastynn. She pulled herself up on the couch I new that was going to happen but didn't think it will be that soon. I'm thinking she will probably be walking before we want her to but we'll see.
That's all for now.

Taylor's Birthday party

We had Taylor's birthday last Tuesday. We went to Panorama Lanes and they have a play area for the little ones it was really quite nice. Our house is to small to have many people here and it was just far to hot last week to have anything outside. We had it on Tuesday because Grandma and Grandpa Huber came down for a couple days. Taylor had 2 of her friends show up Jaliah Kochie and Brooklynne Painter. It was to cute Taylor calls Brooklynne Broccoli and Brooklynne calls Taylor Tater. Way to funny.
Taylor got some really nice gifts and she really enjoyed her cake.
On Wednesday Grandpa Mellor put her name on the radio (he didn't realize it was only the 1st and not the 2nd) and she won the birthday file which means she won another birthday cake and some flowers. Very nice. So she had birthday cake again.
On Thursday Taylor's actual birthday we had Grandma and Grandpa Mellor over for supper and yet again had some birthday cake.
Then on the weekend when we were out in Saskatchewan. Grandma Huber had another cake for Taylor so we had birthday cake on Saturday and Sunday probably a couple times a day.
That's all for now.

HAHAHA

Tonight was so funny. Eastynn was eating supper and fell asleep. It was so cute and funny. She is teething which and hasn't been sleeping much which could be why she fell asleep.
That's all for now.

Stampede Week

Another stampede week has come and gone. This week we went out to the grounds 2 out of the 4 days. The first being quite a nice day I think only around 30 degrees or so. The second time we went it was hot hot hot. But Taylor and I had a ton of fun both times. The first time grandma and Eastynn came. The second day we went Daddy and Eastynn came for about an hour, then we met up with Becky and Brooklynne after they left we met up with 2 more of Taylor's friends Dre and Colby. We also went to the parade Taylor really enjoyed the horse's.
That's all for now.

Another Big Feat

Last night Taylor had fallen asleep on the couch so I put her to bed without a pull up and a diaper, and she woke up dry. Usually if she has a nap she wakes up dry as well so I think I may try it a couple more times to see if it was lucky or if she just doesn't need one at bed time that would be nice.
That's all for now.

Its Official

ok Its official Eastynn is crawling. I'm a little scared about her new found mobility. But I think we can manage. Fabian got to see her crawl today on the web cam you got to love technology.
Taylor is doing awesome with the potty training hardly any accidents at all.
I got to go play darts this weekend it was so nice to get away from reality for a little while it was also my birthday this weekend it was bad that Fabian wasn't here other wise it would have been great. Always next year though.
we also went to Calaway park when we were in Calgary and got some nice pictures.
That's all for now.

Back In Calgary

So were back in Calgary after a long week. Eastynn is still on the verge of crawling. Taylor has been really good she was in a wedding yesterday. She was a flower girl again. She isn't even 3 yet and has been in the same amount of weddings as me and one of the weddings I was in was my own. Oh well. She is as cute and as funny as ever.
The wedding was very nice, HOT but nice. Although it wasn't the same without Fabian there.

Alex and Lindsay's Wedding Reception

My cousin Alex got married to his beautiful bride on May 17th. They had there reception yesterday it was really nice and a lot of fun even though I had a migraine. We watched a video of there wedding and a really nice slide show.
One picture here is of Alex and Lindsay sharing there "first" dance (at the reception).
One picture of the Chisholm girls (there are 14 granchildren on the Chisholm side and only 4 of them being girls)
One picture of Alex and Lindsay cutting there cake (beautiful cake)

Girls Pictures

We got the girls photos done at Sears yesterday. The people at Sears are so fantastic compared to the girl they have at Walmart. She was awesome with the girls and we got some great shots. Taylor was being a little ham while we were there it was to funny she couldn't wait to get her picture taken. I will post just a few.
That's all for now.

Haircut

On Saturday I went and got my haircut. I got quite a bit taken off. Just thought I'd post a picture to show everyone how short it now is. This was taken Sunday morning so not as perfect as right out of the salon but still the best it will look cause I won't be able to achieve the same look as the hair dresser gave me.
That's all for now.

Weekly Update

I went and played in an open singles (men and women)tournament on Saturday. I played better than usual but I didn't play well when I needed to. There were 15 people and I finished 5th in my section and got knocked out first round. But still made $20 because they payed out top 2 women. So that kind of rocked. I'm also going to get my hair cut this week cause the weight is giving me headaches.

Now Fabian he is doing good. As most of you know if you read his blog his hair is gone now. But he has been getting some golfing done. "The girls" bought him a golf pass for father's day so I think this year he has been out 4 times so far.

Taylor is doing good one a few accidents this week. She is talking really well now too pretty much full sentences. She is start to catch on to the fact that everyone has there own name. Instead of calling everyone Si which we figured out was scotty.

Eastynn is doing really well too. She is not sleeping a lot that is kind of frustrating but nice that I can ask Fabian for help though at night. She is eating rice cereal and oat cereal. She has also tried pea, carrots, and sweet potatos. I think she will be crawling soon she gets on all 4's and rocks back and forth and usually does a face plant into the carpet. It's to funny.
That's all for now.

More Food

Tonight Eastynn will be experiencing carrots for the first time I would like to post her funny faces on the net unfortunately for us she doesn't make any:( Oh well.
The girls have been so good the last few days. They have been both eating really well and they have been both sleeping very well its amazing what a set schedule will do. Taylor has been doing really well with the potty training. I believe by her 3rd birthday on Aug 2nd she will be a completely potty trined with hardly an accidents.
Also I'm thinking of getting the girls photos done. Just wondering if the few people who do leave comments can tell me where they go to get professional photos done, we have used all the backgrounds at Wal-mart a couple times to many so I'm thinking of going to Sears.
That's all for now.

And Then There Were Two

Eastynn now has 2 teeth now both bottom ones. I'm glad they are here already before Fabian has his surgery. Hopefully no more will come until Fabian has healed from his surgery.
Also now Eastynn is not only eating her cereal she is also starting her fruits and vegtables. she gets a new one every 3 days just to make sure she isn't allergic and if she is then we know what is causing it so shouldn't be long before we a full time eater.
Taylor has been doing awesome on the potty no accidents in 2 days and thats even leaving the house for a few hours each day.
Taylor also has an interview tomorrow for a play school, I hope that works out so that Eastynn and I can go in swimming lessons just like Taylor and I did.
Both girls are so good today they both have been eating well and they both napped well today too. Taylor napped for about an hour and a half and Eastynn for the nap where they napped together napped for about 2 hours.
That's all for now.

Happy Father's Day!!!

Just thought I'd wish 3 of the best dads I know a Happy Father's Day.
To Brian, sorry we could make the trip up to Edmonton for the weekend. I'm sure I missed some good episodes of How it's made. Hahaha.

To Fabian,
The best only one daddy I could ever want for my beautiful children. Thanks. And I promise our life is going to get some much better and if we can make it through these few tough years we'll make it through anything.
Love you.

To Dad,
I love you and I know you know. So I'll keep it short and sweet. I'll probably see you later.
Love always and forever. The biggest daddy's girl on the face of the earth (and not size wise either).

Eastynn's New Toy

Eastynn got a new toy today, she got a jumperoo (a glorafied jolly jumper). Its pretty much a jolly jumper crossed with a exersaucer. Its got lots of toys on it and the seat spins around. Taylor never got the hang of a jolly jumper she would just spin around in it. Taylor also loves it to she likes to "help" Eastynn bounce but gets a little rough. I'll post some pictues later.
That's all for now.

Not Much Happening

There hasn't been a lot of action around the Huber household. Taylor is still potty training (again) this time I'm not going to let anything stop us this time. She also has some allergies, in September we are going both her and I to get tested to see what allergies we have. She also got another hair cut yesterday well she actually just got her bangs cut.
Dad (Fabian) got his head shaved even closer, I'm thinking his head will be bald by next week some time. But from what he tells me he is feeling good otherwise. His foot gets a little sore sometimes. And I think his allergies are a little worse than they were before. Although that could just be Medicine Hat is getting worse because I have never had allergies and I'm developing some slight allergies too.
Eastynn is getting big (for her) still pretty tiny next to a lot of 6 month old babies. I think she is about the size of a 4 month old. She has been having a bit of a tough time lately. She has been teething she does have one tooth poking through now. But the last few days she has been constipated to poor thing. So we have been giving her some prune juice a couple times a day it hasn't been helping so maybe we'll give her a little bit more. Although today she doesn't seem to be any pain as she was the previous couple days.
And as for me same old same old. Just dealing with the family.
That's all for now.

A Big Heartfelt Thank-You

I would like to send out a big heartfelt Thank you to all who attended the benefit supper for Fabian. We appreciate it greatly and are totally surprised with the outcome. I'm sure the money will be put to good use. I would also like to thank the people who organized the benefit, the people who donated food and other services and the people who travelled to get there.
I would also like to apologise for not being able to come out to the benefit supper there is just so much going on here with Fabian and his treatments, Taylor has developed allergies, and Eastynn teething that it made it impossible to make it out there.
I would also like to thank everyone for keeping us in their thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. It has really helped keeping our spirits up knowing how much people care.
Love
Nikki Mellor Huber
THANKS AGAIN

How Could I Forget

We have an eruption of Eastynn's first tooth. Not sure on when I say she actually has first tooth or wait till its trough. But I'll let you know its all there.
That's all for now.

Manic Monday

On Monday we were just going to sit back and relax, that was just not the case. I got Taylor up, dressed and put on some sun screen. She has some allergies and her eyes were watering and she wiped her eyes and ended up getting sun screen in them. YIKES. Her eyes continued to water pretty bad but I didn't know if it was allergies or sun screen. so I washed them with a face cloth but that didn't work. So I phoned health link they put me through to poison control they told me to put her in the shower and make the water hit her forehead and go into her eyes. Sounds easy not even close, it was by far the hardest thing I had to do so far as a mother. She screamed, kicked and cried in pain and in fear. I was suppose to keep her in for 20 minutes but it 10 minutes until I gave up and it was just to much for me. So I opened the door to see Grandma Mellor crying on the other side. I guess it was pretty hard on all of us that were there.
Anyway so yesterday we went to the doctor to see about allergies and if I want to take her to Calgary it will be 9 months to a year wait if we go to Edmonton it will be a couple months. I have been having burning eyes too so I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get a referral and maybe go as well.
That's all for now.

Calaway Park

Sunday morning we got up early and drove to Calgary. I can't believe Taylor didn't sleep the entire way up there. We went to Calaway park had some lunch, rode some rides, and bought a few things and went to Jason and Jo's. We had some supper and waited until about 8:30 then headed home it was a super long drive home. I will post some pictures once I have down loaded them.
That's all for now.

Spectrum

I know its been awhile but we have been super busy.
On friday and Saturday we went to Spectrum, Medicine Hat summer festival. Its fun for about an hour or two then we just go the park but besides the lack of a nap all was good.
That's all for now.

Echodale Too

When we got back from Elkwater I drove Jo and the girls through Echodale park. We stopped at the petting zoo but when I showed Jo the rest we just drove by. lots of cute baby animals out there.
That's all for now.

Elkwater

Yesterday the girls and I along with Jo, jason's room mate (who is visiting over from England)went to Elkwater. I showed Jo the cabin, Ressor Lake, Horseshoe Canyon, and the park down by the beach. It was a beautiful day and it was nice to go with someone who has never seen anything like that it makes you appreciate what you have.
Anyway that's all for now.
