Toys.

I finally got all the toys put away today. I got a bin full of toys to go into storage. I have probably 3 bins full of clothes. One of my maternity clothes. One for Taylor and one for Eastynn. Our house is slowly coming along. Just got a few more things left to do. I can't wait for things to get back to normal.
That's all for now

Where To Put It All

Now we have the issue of where to put all of our new stuff, well I guess mostly the girls new stuff. So in the mean time we need to take all the decorations down and put them away, so we can put the regular stuff back where it belongs in order to find room for the new things. Yikes.
Basically we have to do spring cleaning in the middle of winter but the plans I have in my head hopefully will work out and I will have a nice clean and organized house. Tonight I worked on the living room and the furnace room. I also took all the clothes that don't fit the girls out of their closet and hung up all of their new clothes. It is crazy how much they got, we also did a little shopping for Taylor with the gift certificates we got. The girls room is pretty much clean there are a few things I need to change but for the most part its done.
Tomorrow will be the outside storage room and the kitchen.
Not sure when I'll get to our room or the toy room. We need to take the toys the girls don't play with and put them in storage. Maybe we can get lucky and get it all done tomorrow but I doubt it but now that I have bored you all with that little story. I'm off to bed.
That's all for now.

Christmas With The Huber's

Christmas with the Huber's was cut a little short but nonetheless was still just as special as our other day's previous. We spent a day driving out there, and shortly after we got there the girls got extremely spoiled we almost need a U-haul to get back. Just kidding. The girls got lots of new toys and clothes though. The next morning Taylor spent most of the day outside on a sled with Auntie Brooklynn while Uncle Calvin towed them around. Eastynn spent the day trying to show Grandma and Grandpa Huber how she could walk and how she could fall too. She's still can only make a few steps and she has horrible depth perception. We had some Chinese for supper and hit the hay pretty early as we needed to be on the road early in the morning. Both the girls traveled really well. We all did considering the flu bug that has plagued our family for the past week or so. I'm really hoping we didn't leave it with anyone back in Saskatchewan.
That's all for now.

Christmas With The Chisholm's

Christmas with the Chisholm's in my opinion was one of the best ever. I was so happy that everything went great. We all laughed and cried a little sharing a few stories of Steph. We all really enjoyed what I think Jerimy and Steph enjoyed the most which was the chinese gift exchange. We played some games. It was great.
That's all for now.

Christmas With The Mellor's

On Dec 24 and 25 we had Christmas with the Mellor's. Taylor, Uncle Jay, Grandma, Jo, Kirsty and Paul all made cookies for Santa. They must have been good cause he ate them all. The girls got spoiled by everyone at the Mellor household. Lot's of fun.
That's all for now.

Merry Christmas

Just a quick note.
I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The girls and I are all really sick, Taylor still isn't eating well since she got sick. Eastynn got sick yesterday and today and I got sick today as well. Ick. Hopefully Fabian will not get sick now.
That's all for now.

Thoughts and Prayers

Our family is sending our thoughts and prayers to Jerimy and his family and to Stephanie's family as she has lost her battle with cancer. I'm truly and deeply sorry, if there is anything we can do do not hesitate to call us. We love you.

Poor Girl So Sick

Taylor is one sick little girl, which just proves she is mine being sick at Christmas. Last night while I was at darts she started getting sick Fabian told me then she got up around 10ish getting sick again and didn't stop till well she is still getting sick. I took her to the hospital at 2 am cause she couldn't even keep half a tbsp. down. They said she was on the verge of maybe needing an IV but don't like doing that to kids that young. They did give her some gravol in not the best way imaginable. She is starting to be able to finally hold some liquids down. We are still suppose to wait awhile before she eats anything.
That's all for now.

Little One and Baby Girl.

Today Eastynn had her one year shot and was she ever a trooper barely cried at all. She gave the nurse a look with a wide open mouth as if to say "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING" and let out a little squeal but not really a cry. That's my girl.
She did say she was tiny but thriving well, she was not concerned in the least bit about her height or weight which is 27.75" and 18lbs (which is what Taylor was at 6 months) LOL.
I love it though because I always put Taylor to bed and say Night night baby girl mommy loves you and I was wondering what I was going to say to Eastynn and one night it came to me Night night little one mommy loves you.
I love it.
Anyway just thought I'd give everyone an update on her.
That's all for know.
PS My thoughts and prayers are with Jerimy, Steph and both of there families we love you.

Eastynn's Photos and Photos Of The Girls

These pictures are finally right side up and flawless I must say enjoy

Family Photos and Taylor's Photos

Here are our new family photos and Taylors photos.
That's all for now.

Eastynn Birthday Parties

Today we had 2 birthday parties one was for family and one was for friends. It was a good time not to say she got lots of presents and enjoyed lots of cake. And she looked adorable as usual. Taylor was also the perfect little hostess. At my mom's house every time someone came in she would grab them by the hand and show them Eastynn's cake which was cute because she normally plays pretty shy. At the end of the party she came up stairs and said Thank you all for coming. AT our house when it was time to have cake she guests come on and later she thanked everyone for coming once again. I was so proud of her.
The one dress she is wearing here is from Jerimy and Stephanie Chisholm they bought it for Taylor and its nice that Eastynn got to wear it for her first birthday a special dress from 2 very dear and special people. (Our thoughts and prayers are with Jerimy and his family and Stephanie and her family) We love you.
The red dress was given to Eastynn by Great Grandma Chisholm a beautiful dress.
That's all for now.

Guess Who's One

yeah its Eastynn's first birthday ALREADY.
We are having her birthday party tomorrow. I can't believe it, it feels like we just got her. But when you pregnant it feels like it is years and years time almost seems to stand still. It would be nice if it were the other wasy around and they stayed a baby forever and the pregnancy flew by. Anyway I'm rambling.
So we don't have much planned for today. Although we are going to prep for tomorrow. We have to make cup cakes and clean the house.
Tomorrow will be exciting we are going to have a little party at my mom's house with all the family at 2:00 and then come home and have a nap and clean up from the morning and have a party with the girls friends. We are going to have cupcakes and let the kids decorate the cupcakes themselves it should be fun and messy. I will have some pictures to post tomorrow evening or Monday.
That's all for now

What's up baby girl?

I'm not sure what is going on with Eastynn she has been GRUMPY. I'm not sure if she is getting another tooth, going through a growth spurt, or some jealousy thing.
When she gets up she cries till she has her morning nap which we are lucky if she even has her morning nap and if she does its a short one only a hour.
Once she gets up from her nap the child eats and eats and eats. For example the other day she had her little mum mum cookies like 4 packs, then 2 pieces of toast, a banana, then her lunch its crazy how much that little one can eat. That's what leads me to believe she is going through a growth spurt.
Back to the crying if Taylor is being held by me or Fabian even if the other parent is holding her she cries its really weird. Cause they play so well but don't go near her mommy or daddy.
We are still trying to wean her. We are giving her 3 oz of milk now and then I nurse for a total of 8 minutes. Last night she had a 6oz bottle cause she was mad when the 3 oz bottle was gone so we gave her more and she still nursed. I'm sure we will figure out something that will work for both Eastynn and I. Any suggestions or comments will help.
That's all for now

Santa Pictures

Here is our picture with Santa. I'm in the picture because Eastynn DIDN'T want to sit on Santa's lap. And a couple of Taylor before we went out to see Santa.
That's all for now

Weaning

So we are trying to wean Eastynn from her nursing, yes she is a year and still nursing. Saved us a ton of money though. I think Taylor cost $30 every week and a half when she was on a bottle.
She has 2 ounces before each feed and then in 6 days we will bump it up to 2 ounces and so on till she is up to 6 oz. I can't wait and we have a tournament in Lethbridge on Jan 5th so she needs to be done by then. That is going to be a tough my first night away from my baby. I'm sure I have only been out of town one other time since Taylor has been born. She has had sleep overs before but not while I have been out of town.
We are hoping all goes well with the weaning. I'm very excited to be done with this for awhile anyway. This will be our second time trying to wean her. Fabian has to do all the feeds cause I think she gets mad when I give her milk and I don't blame her.
That's all for now.

Oops

I was just looking at the calender and realized I'm going to have one heck of a week coming up. Saturday I have a ladies doubles tournament. Sunday we are having a family birthday for Eastynn at 2pm at my mom's and then one for the friends at our house. Just the regular things after that till Wednesday and Taylor has a Christmas party at 11:00. Thursday Eastynn has needles at 10:30 and Taylor has another Christmas party at 11:00. I don't know what I was thinking there but I think Fabian and I will figure it out. I will drop him off and he can use my parents car and I'll go to the needles and hopefully just make it. Friday night is our super league doubles and then I guess it all good after that.
That's all for now

Taylor's Missed Concert

Taylor was suppose to have a Christmas concert today. Her class was going to the Good Samaritan's Lodge to sing some Christmas songs for the older folks but were told not to come if they have a cough or runny nose. Taylor hasn't even complained about this cold but I was going to give her till noon and if she didn't cough I was going to let her go. She didn't even make it 8:30 so she didn't go. But she still has her Christmas party at school so that will be fun and I will take photos and video while there. I'm so excited more so than for mine when I was a kid. Those aren't until Dec 19 and 20.
That's all for now

Congratulations Uncle Calvin and Auntie Brooklynn

FINALLY We are going to have a new addition to the Huber family. Nope we aren't pregnant Uncle Calvin finally has proposed to Brooklynn. And I couldn't be more happy to finally have a sister-in-law not that I haven't always thought of her as my lil' sister but now it going to be official. I can't wait to hear the whole story once they get back from there little vacation.
Congratulations guys we love you both and are so happy for you.

Taylor's First Parent/Teacher Conference

We had Taylor's first parent teacher conference yesterday which went very well in my opinion. The teachers say she is a really quite student which is easy to see I was a very shy child (at school anyway) and I can only imagine that Fabian was as well. They said that she gets along with all of the other children which made me very happy too. When we were talking about how quite she is they said she always says mushy mushy when she is called upon. I was confused cause I had heard her say that before but thought she was talking gibberish but here that means hi in Japanese. (obviously I can't write it as the Japanese because I don't know how to write or speak Japanese so if I'm wrong forgive me). Its pretty cool that she is retaining a lot of the stuff from school anyway. I asked about her speech to see if she was ok, they really couldn't tell me because she is so shy. They did however give us a sheet to fill out and have her professionally assessed which I'm happy they are doing because personally I think she needs a little help and I don't know how to help her. They did say she probably won't even talk so they will assess her as being severe which they said is OK because she would get some one on one at school to help her with her speech and she would also have some of her schooling paid for which is kind of a nice bonus. I think if Taylor could communicate better to Fabian and I there would probably be a lot less arguing going on, I think she must get frustrated sometimes that we don't know what she wants.
Also Taylor has been going to bed a lot better which has also resulted in a lot less fighting cause she is not so tired. Although little Miss Eastynn is trying to wean herself down to one nap a day which is frustrating with her but soon it will all even out and then we will be hit with another issue. Always stuff to look forward to.
That's all for now

Christmas Decoration Pictures

Here are most of the Christmas decorations in our house there are a few more that I may add later.
That's all for now

XXX

It is to cute. Eastynn has been giving kisses lately. Its also a little gross she has her mouth wide open and they are very slobbery. But I'll take anyway I can get them.

She also will be walking here pretty soon. She has taken as many as 4 steps at one time so I don't think it will be long. Anyway she's getting a little cranky now so I better go.
That's all for now

Christmas Decorating Is Coming To A Finish

My mom brought it to my attention that I have not posted since we have done the majority of our Christmas decorating done.
Now we have the window done, the window whole thingy from our kitchen to our living room. On the shelf going frm the kitchen we have a little sleigh and reindeer which both light up now (the reindeer didn't work the first night). We also have a little fiber optic snowman. We have our Christmas tree which looks good but we need a tree topper. We have our stockings hung. We got a little tree that you can put family photos its awesome. We also have a Santa table cloth and 4 Santa place mats. Just a few more outside lights to hang up and then we are done.
I also got the majority of the presents wrapped it going to be nice to have all the stresses of Christmas gone in the month of December so we can just enjoy Christmas and get into the Christmas spirit.
That's all for now.

OH MY GOODNESS

I don't know what is going on at the Huber household.
Eastynn has been crying all morning I have no idea what is wrong. She is clean and dry, she has nursed, she has eaten, she has had some tylenol just in case she isn't feeling good but oh my its a little much even after 15 minutes never mind for 5 hours. She will be going down for a nap pretty quick.
And Taylor is not wanting to go to school any more and that is really bad cause she loves school. She told my mom she has no friends and she has mentioned not wanting to go a few times but she just says she doesn't like school but hasn't given me a reason. So we are thinking she is just to tired but we are going to try and get her on a strict bed time routine like Eastynn's.
Hopefully they will both go to bed at 8 and they will both wake up at 7. And both will go down for a nap at 12 and Taylor will stay down till 1:30 and Eastynn till 3. I know it is wishful thinking but thats all I can do right now. The temper tantrums are getting to be a little much now.
That's all for now.

Yay Jay

So a few months ago I seen a commercial on tv for a reality hair show. And from watching it last season I knew immediately I had to tell Jason to apply for it. He followed all the rules sent in amazing essay about himself and an awesome video too. Yesterday I got a phone call saying Thank-you from my big brother and I was confused thinking what did I do now. He said Thank-you for making me do that I got a call back so now I get to watch my big bro on tv. I'm not sure when the show starts but I will keep every one updated on this.
That's all for now.

The Little One

I guess Eastynn has got the flu now. Last night I was wrapping presents cause I couldn't sleep and finally at 3:30 I decided I needed to go to sleep so I was laying there and here Eastynn cough. It wasn't her usual cough so I decided to go check on her , she had gotten sick all over her crib so I got her changed and layed her with Fabian while I changed her sheets. Then I put her back to sleep. Fabian said she didn't eat much this morning and when I got her up from her morning nap she had gotten sick again. She ate her lunch pretty good but didn't even make it out of her high chair before she got sick again. She is in a very good mood today though considering.
That's all for now

Christmas Stuff

So far we have got the Christmas lights up in our window, in the window whole thingy from out kitchen to our living room, we have a little reindeer made of wood his nose lights up and it has a sign that says "Santa Stops Here.", we also have a little light up sleigh and reindeer (although the reindeer isn't working), and a little thing that says "the stockings were hung" and it has 6 little hooks to obviously hang your stockings up. We have yet to hang our outside lights we still need some extension cords and I have 2 mini Christmas trees still left to go up then I'm done decorating.
Christmas shopping is nearly done I think we have maybe 2 or 3 more left to buy.
Then all that is left is wrapping all the gifts.
That's all for now.

Sick Sick Sick

I think everyone in the house has something wrong with them at the moment.
I got a phone call at about 8:30 from Taylor's school to come pick her up that she had gotten sick. Which is kind of a big deal considering she has only maybe got sick twice before. She has also been sick over a half a dozen times today.
Eastynn didn't have a nap until 11:00 and slept till almost 3:00. I'm not sure if thats bad or not, considering she didn't have her morning nap. Although she has had a really bad runny nose.
Fabian has been saying he is coming down with something for a few days, but nothing has come of that yet.
And me I went 3 days with out a headache and today I have a bad headache.
Well hopefully everyone will be back to normal soon.
That's all for now.

First Movie and First Kisses

I took Taylor to her first movie tonight. I don't think she liked the movie as much as everything that went along with it. Like the popcorn, the pop, the kinder surprise, the dark room, the big screen. She didn't like sitting the entire time, but oh well she really had fun.
And Eastynn started giving kisses. If you pucker up she will move toward your face and give you a big kiss with an open mouth and a lot of drool its very cute.
That's all for now

School Pictures

We finally got Taylor's school photos back. They aren't very good but that's ok.
And just a couple pictures of when Taylor got a hold of Eastynn and did her hair.
Other than that its been very uneventful here.
That's all for now.

My Baby Soldier Girl

Here is a cute picture of my little soldier girl. Its the first time she ever has kept a hat on in fact I think she liked it. I personally love it. LOL To cute.
That's all for now.

Good Stuff

Today I went Christmas shopping and finally found a sippy cup that Eastynn likes. She won't drink out of a bottle or a sippy cup and has a tough time with just a cup. So it was a HUGE deal. We'll be buying a few more this weekend I'm sure. She is loving her new cup its to cute if she is sitting on the floor and the cup is sitting in front of her she will just lean down not using her hands and pick it up with her mouth. Or if the cup is laying on its side she will crawl over top of it and try and put it in her mouth, its very very funny.
Taylor well she is just a whole lot of fun these days she is saying the funniest things lately. She look at me while laying in bed put her arm around me and whisper "I Lub You." too cute. Or she'll look at me and say "your the best." LOL. Tonight my mom bought her some PJ's and she put them on and said"ahh there perpect." (perfect). She is so darn cute sometimes.
That's all for now.

Yikes

So I got a look into the little ones mouth today and she has 4 teeth coming in 3 on the top and 1 on the bottom. I think they have all come through. But it has been a pretty rough evening.
That's all for now

Some More Teeth

Eastynn has a total of 4 teeth now. They are growing in a weird order I don't know if I should be worried or not but as of now I'm not. She has her two bottom teeth. Her top front tooth. The one next to wear her top left front tooth should be. It looks pretty cute though. Just thought I should update everyone on that situation.
That's all for now.
Anyway the longer this day goes on I think the more teeth she is getting. I think I see a total of 6 now. I think 4 teeth on the top 2 have broken through the gums and the other 2 should be out by the end of the week. And then the 2 bottom teeth
That's all for now

Halloween

Halloween well to get out trick or treating there was a few tears and a lot of stress for mommy. The tears weren't from mommy the girls didn't understand why they needed to listen but once we got all dressed the fun began.
First stop was Scott and Shauna's. Then we went to the shop to see Auntie Heather and Auntie Pam. After that the real rounds began.
We went to:
1. Velvet and Darren's
2. Steph and Jerimy's
3. Great Grandma Chisholm's
4. Kirby and Cindy's
5. Pam and Shane's
6. Colin and Chris' (that's where the great picture came from)
7. Alex and Lindsay's
8. Grandma and Grandpa Mellor's
9. A few of the neighbours
10 Daniel and Linda's ( but they weren't home :( )

That was enough for Eastynn and then Taylor and dad went around while Eastynn and I hung out waiting for trick or treaters there wasn't many at all I think I had 3 and Fabian had a couple. We handed out handfuls of chocolate bars. Which I think everyone handed out Eastynn got no chips and Taylor only got 2 bags of chips. Not great for mommy she doesn't like chocolate. Oh well will keep the weight off I guess.
Taylor really enjoyed herself especially since just about everyone had a dog that she got to play with for a couple minutes.
In the one picture is Taylor and her godmother Tara
That's all for now

Taylor's Halloween Party

Today Taylor had her Halloween party at play school. It wasn't what I expected but I think she enjoyed it. We went to her school and they all were sitting in a circle. Once all the parents and grandparents came in they all came running and we did some edible crafts and then ate them and finally came home. It was cute all the kids in there costumes.
That's all for now.

Little Update

Today Eastynn went only had one nap and on Friday she only had one nap. So I think she maybe slowly weaning herself off the 2 naps a day. Which isn't very good but I guess we will deal with it as it comes.

Also now every time a commercial comes on TV with a toy Taylor asks if Santa can bring her that toy for Christmas. LOL. I asked her what she was going to ask Santa for Christmas and she said a "puter" (computer) which I thought was a pretty big wish for a 3 year old. She wants a puter like daddy's.

That's all for now.

Doctors Appointment Follow Up

So today I went to the doctor for the follow up on my x-rays and they were all normal. Which is fantastic. He is going to send me to a plastic surgeon to get the ganglion removed. I'm pretty nervous. I HATE HOSPITALS, they make me very nervous unless I'm on the maternity ward. I'll let you all know when that is all set up.
That's all for now.

Finally

It hasn't been for very long but Fabian and I finally have our room back to ourselves. I don't expect it to be every night but so far so good. We ended up having eastynn in our bed for about a half hour the first night other than that it has been great. Now we just need to work on Taylor's schedule which was what I was debating about to put them in the same room and then work on her schedule or work on her schedule and then put them in the same room. Well we figured that out anyone. I'm so happy about that.
That's all for now.

Taylor's First Field Trip

Taylor went on her first field trip yesterday. I must say she didn't enjoy the destination very much but she did enjoy the bus ride there. I honestly think they could have just drove around the city for awhile and the kids would have been happy. I guess it didn't help that the guy giving the tour at the armouries was talking to the kids as if they were adults. I didn't get a lot of it never mind the kids.
