Easter Morning

Easter morning was so much fun.
To watch Taylor and Eastynn their baskets it was great. One of my favorite moments as a mom so far.
After that we had the Easter egg hunt which Taylor really really loved.
Eastynn didn't really like it but she got the hang of it eventually.
That's all for now.

Easter At Police Point Park

We made our yearly visit to Police Point Park on Friday.
The girls enjoyed it. I was over it in about 5 minutes but hey its not about me. They always have the new chicks and some bunnies down there.
Taylor totally enjoyed herself, Eastynn seemed to like it too.
At one point Eastynn actually picked up a chick. I didn't know what to do I didn't know how to get her put it down cause I didn't want her to get scared and squish the chick. But we got it figured out and the bird was unharmed.
Taylor cried when we left but you can only spend about a half hour there.
Next year should be great cause Taylor should be able to do a Easter egg.
That's all for now

Ick Ick Ick We're All Sick

I can't believe it after my last post about me and Eastynn being sick everyone is now sick.
I still have a sore tummy but not near as bad as Wednesday.
Taylor and Fabian both just got a cold today.
And poor poor Eastynn, she is getting 4 teeth 2 top molars, 1 bottom molar, and one bottom front tooth. She has a slight diaper rash that is thankfully clearing up. She also has been having the runs. And also got a cold as well. With how my tummy felt I can totally sympathize with the poor girl. I have been listening to her cough in her sleep. Its horrible now because they don't make infant cough medicine but I have been giving her motrin.
I'm not sure if I will be struck with the cold I feel like I'm already getting it. And I really hope Fabian and Taylor don't get the stomach aches that Eastynn and I have been dealing with. That's all for now.

EWWW

Well Eastynn is still grumpy and sick too. She is getting 3 molars and a front tooth. She has the runs and a runny nose so its easy to see why she is grumpy. She has taken a fancy to her big sister. Taylor and her are almost inseperable it is to cute watching them walk around the house holding hands and Taylor holding her and cuddling her I love it.
I too am sick today so today I can really sympathize with Eastynn.
That's all for now.

New Hobby

Well I have taken up a new hobby, running. I have only went for one run so far on Wednesday, but a big one to start out with 5km. It was the first physical activity I have really done since I got pregnant with Taylor, far to long. I really liked it but am hurting really bad I started off a little to strong, for me anyway, the other 2 I was running with thought I was a wus I think. I ran about 400 meters and had to walk for about 3km LOL with very little jogging after that. Once I finally caught my breath I took my time and picked objects. Like I'll jog from this garbage can to the next one which let me keep my breathing under control and helped tremendously. I have a doctors appointment on Monday and I'm going to get an inhaler and hopefully that will help. I also plan on maybe hitting a track instead since it is all one level no ups or downs there. I also plan on using a iPod that my amazing, awesome husband bought me off eBay tonight. Maybe jog a song, walk one, jog one, walk one. I hope I can continue and enjoy it more and more. My friends that I have been running with have been very supportive calling me and checking on how I'm feeling after the run and encouraging me during the run which makes it a lot easier. I have also done a little research as well on how to build myself up so I can run with my friends with out being embarrassed. Maybe dad and I can go in a 5km run by the end of the summer that would be awesome.
That's all for now

Eastynn Eastynn Eastynn

I have no idea what is up with that little one. She isn't sleeping right. She wakes up every couple hours and is taking forever to fall asleep sometimes crying up to a half hour. I'm not sure if it is her teeth bothering her or if it is our trip on the weekend is what is causing this madness but it is getting a little crazy.
That's all for now.

I'm Going To Be An Auntie

I'm so excited that we are going to have a new addition to the Huber family. No its not me unfortunately and not for a lack of trying. Calvin and Brooklynn are expecting there first baby in October. It is very exciting someone else to spoil and like I said I get to be and Auntie and my girls will finally have some cousins. Hopefully not to young for Taylor but I'm sure they will all get along just fine Taylor will want to take care of the baby a lot I'm sure.
Congrats you guys what an exciting couple of years you are going to have.
That's all for now.

Landon's Birthday Party

On Saturday morning on our way to Edmonton. Fabian, the girls, and I stopped in Calgary for one of my good friends son's second birthday. Taylor loves birthday parties, everything from bringing the kid a present, to dressing up like "a princess", to the cake, and of course singing Happy Birthday.
We had a blast it was nice to visit with Tamara and her family the last time we did was in September her and Landon came out to Elkwater for a week with us.
Eastynn really enjoyed Landon's toys which leads me to believe we may have a tomboy on our hands.
Tamara made a very nice lunch and she made and decorated a Thomas The Train cake it was AMAZING.
Thanks again T.
That's all for now.

Eastynn Getting More Teeth

Eastynn is also getting 3 more teeth 2 top molars and one bottom front. Which explains her attitude lately. Hopefull they will pop through soon and we will be done with that.
That's all for now

SWIMMING SWIMMING SWIMMING

That's all we seem to do now is go swimming. Since last Thursday when we bought our swim pass Eastynn and I have been 9 times including our baby fit class and about 7 with Taylor. We are loving it but I'm not loving all the laundry it brings. BLAH.
I'm going to maybe enter another baby fit class starting on Monday. I also tried to register the girls for some swimming lessons but they are all full. I have to wait until the spring registration. I'm also hoping I can get the girls in a class together. Or get Eastynn in one while Taylor is at school and get Taylor in one on mon and fri. Who knows but I'm excited. Fabian and I are also talking about maybe taking some lessons for ourselves. I don't have the confidence that if something we're to happen that I could save both of my girls and I really would love to have that confidence. I really like the fact that we are swimming a lot it gets us out of the house a lot and the girls aren't watching as much tv and they are sleeping better too, as am I. Our swim pass includes all of the pools in Medicine Hat which is great cause in the summer we can go to the out door pool as well. I think swimming is going to be our new hobby.
I was asked today what I do besides play darts and swim, I just shook my head and said nothing. I LOVE IT.
That's all for now

Big Weekend

What a big weekend. We went and bought a 6 month pass for the pool on Thursday.

So we went swimming just the girls and I on Friday morning, then we went and bought a bunch of swim suits for the whole family the girls suits are so cute. Then Friday night we all went swimming again.

Saturday I went and played darts. Becky and I won first time we got to play together forever it was a lot of fun. Then we went swimming again. Becky and Brooklynne showed up too. We were suppose to meet some other friends but they were gone by the time we got there. After swimming me and Taylor went to Becky and Brooklynne's for a sleep over. The girls had fun but didn't sleep so Taylor and I came home. Although Taylor still believes she had a sleep over. Brooklynne and Taylor had a lot of fun though and we will try again when the girls aren't so tired to start out with. The over tiredness didn't help in the least bit.

Sunday Fabian went and played darts, yes I let Fabian go play darts. I was getting the girls ready for a birthday. Nathan had his 4th birthday yesterday, its very hard to believe he is 4 I have been to all of his birthday parties so far. Taylor and Nathan have a huge thing going on. They get along so well. She could have cared less that there were other little girls there and Nathan could have cared less about the little boys at his party. Taylor did have a melt down cause she couldn't open Nathan's presents though. But Scotty handed out balloons and she was fine. After the party we went swimming again.

We have to use the card 30 times to have it paid for and I plan on using it as often as I can so we will probably go everyday.

On another note just want to wish Grandma Huber Happy Birthday again. Taylor and I called her and wished her Happy Birthday yesterday and Fabian called her last night. I hope you had a good day.

That's all for now

Poor Little One

I have no idea what is up with Little Eastynn but she is so cranky right now. She had a really really bad day and her sleep is not much better. We put Eastynn down early tonight at 7:30 she has woken up crying a lot but usually falls asleep shortly after that. Her diaper rash is a little better but she is however getting a molar I think?! I have no idea but I can feel a tooth poking trough and I believe it is a molar. She has her top 4 then missing the one beside that and is getting the one, thats why I believe it maybe a molar.
Taylor on the other hand is starting to feel better she falling asleep very early at night though I think the last 3 nights it has been between 7:15-7:45 but I don't mind.
That's all for now

It has been awhile since I have posted but not much has went on lately.

Taylor has had a very nasty cold she hasn't went to school at all over the past week but I think it is finally leaving. We didn't even allow her to sleep in the same room as Eastynn for a few days. Both the girls are starting to become healthy again. Eastynn had a cold prior to Taylors cold.

Eastynn on the other hand she has had a severe case of seperation anxiety I have dealt with so far. She cries when I leave the room. She cries when Fabian leaves the house. I think this is because of all the darts lately which will take a back seat to my girls. I will play my 2 nights and my saturday and then my evenings I will not play until after they go to bed which should be good until I go to Nationals and then I will take another break for awhile.

I played in a tournament yesterday and didn't do to well. But played again today and finished first it was a lot of fun.

That's all for now

Finaaly I Did It

After 5 long years I have finally made the provincial team.
I will tell you all about my weekend although it may not make sense to some but oh well bare with me.

So on Saturday there was a total of 34 ladies. I was a number 3 seed going into the tournament. I finished 3rd in my section not a great finish by any means. After our sections we go into a DOUBLE knock out. I made it past the first round and in the second round I got knocked down to the B side and my first round in the B I got knocked out by Jayne Osbourne. I earned a whopping 5 points fir the day. I don't remember who knocked me down to the B on Saturday.
On Sunday again there was 34 ladies. I was a disgusting 17 seed going into day 2. On this day we had 5 in our section and I finished horrible again with a number 4 finish. Yuck. I played Brenda, Anne Marie, Linda, Crystal, Judi and again I'm missing another name. But I won all my matches and won the entire day earning myself 25 points and a number 5 seed for day three.
On Monday I needed an average day. I placed second in my section on Monday. I played Marla my first match. Anne Marie C my second match and Wanda who is going to be my partner for ladies at nationals knocked me down to the B and the round after that I played Cindy and she knocked me out. Thank goodness I made 9 points for the day and secured myself 5th spot on the team.
It was a tough weekend and things looked grim at times but all my hard practice finally payed off. I can't wait to got to nationals in June. I think the girls and Fabian may go spend that week out in Saskatchewan.
That's all for now

My Little Eastynn Is Growing Up So Fast

Wow Eastynn is getting so big. Today I went to the health unit and had Eastynn's car seat turned around to forward facing. She got her ear's pierced on Friday. I also believe she is officially done nursing she has only nursed 3 times since Friday. She is getting so big (not really) but she is very independent now. Makes mommy kind of sad.
That's all for now.

Fun For Mom

Woo hoo.

Mommy had her first official mommy weekend since Eastynn was born. I spent the weekend in Edmonton playing darts. The girls and Fabian and I went to Calgary since Fabian had a doctors appointment today.

On Friday Fabian took Eastynn and got her ears pierced I wanted to be there but they didn't have time to do it before my ride picked me up to go to Edmonton. On Sunday Fabian and Uncle Jason took the girls to the wave pool that I use to go to when I was a kid. I kind of wish I was there.

On Friday I played a blind draw and for the first time in forever I felt bad for the person who got drawn against me since I was drinking mommy juice. LOL. Anyway I was a little tipsy.

Which lead to a mild hangover on Saturday when I had to play ladies singles. I played really well probably cause I could only concentrate on one thing which was darts it would have hurt to bad to think about many other things. I hit a 180 and I also had to bulls eye finishes one which was 89 and the other of 128. I know most of you don't have any idea what that means but its pretty darn good. Usually I would play all the events but since I had a hangover and I was away from the girls I took the opportunity to sleep. I had another few drinks that night, which was fun.

Sunday morning I played ladies doubles and we did very well and finished joint 3rd made a little money. We started mixed doubles around supper time on Sunday which was a little late for me but so so much FUN. I played with one of the nicest guys I know at darts and we played so well together just met a tough team a little to early. But I hit another 180 in the mixed doubles and so did my partner. I also just missed a 170 finish which it the highest finish you could ever get it was very amazing. I played so well which was very much needed since provincials is next weekend.

We didn't leave Edmonton till 11 pm last night and the roads were horrible it was really scary. We didn't get back to Jay's house till 3 am. It was so sweet when I came home and ended up going to bed Taylor sat up in bed and looked at me and just said mommy in the sweetest tone it totally melted my heart. I gave her a few little cuddles and kisses and then she leaned over and gave me a kiss. One of my favorite moments of being a mom, just a little thing but I loved every second of it.

The this morning little Eastynn woke up and daddy went and got her and she cried and cried and he said to her just a second look who is that and she couldn't possibly get to me fast enough. She came and hugged me and looked at me and then hugged me and then looked at me, this carried on for at least a half hour. Another favorite moment of mommy-hood.

Today we had out portraits taken in Calgary. We were suppose to go at 10 but didn't get our act together till about 11. Not good considering that is usually Eastynn's nap time we tried getting some for awhile but with no success. We went and had lunch and came back and had a little more success. I can't wait to see the photos we won't be doing that till Friday though.

Fabian had his second 3 month check up today. That was also very successful. So I guess all together we had a super great weekend. Fabian posted more about his doctors appointment on his blog which is http://fabianshealth.blogspot.com

That was a long post.
That's all for now.

Grandma's Little Birthday Party

Today Taylor and I thought it would be nice to do something special for Grandma Mellor's Birthday even though it is not till Saturday. We are going away on Friday so we needed to do it tonight. We made some cup cakes. Taylor made Grandma a beautiful homemade card. :) She was so darn cute. We had a little gift for her.
As soon as grandma came she was so excited to show Grandma she said look at what we made. Grandma said who are they for. She replied they are for you for your birthday.
After supper we gave Grandma her cupcakes with a sparkler on them and she sang Happy Birthday so proud and happy I wish I would have a video camera for that moment. When she gave Grandma her present it was another sweet moment. She is such a happy little girl, days like today make you realize we take so much for granted and we should be Thankful for all the little things we have in our life.
That's all for now

Baby Fit Class

Well I actually did it. I went to a baby fit class basically you do aquasize with your baby in a floaty device in front of you. WOW am I out of shape I was having a tough time keeping up never mind the fact that I'm completely uncoordinated. OH well I should hurt tomorrow. It was fun though.
Eastynn crashed pretty hard she has been napping for about 3 hours so if this continues I may take her everyday just to hang out in the pool and then Taylor could come on Mondays and Fridays.

On another note I had my doctors appointment about my wrist and they say I have a ganglion which is what they initially thought Fabian had but they are not going to operate on mine unless it starts to cause problems with mobility or becomes large.

That's all for now.

Jacob's Birthday Party

On Sunday we went to our friends house the Collins' there littlest boy was turning 2. Taylor was so excited talking about the party for weeks and weeks before. SHe loves birthday parties. She loves to get all dresses up unfortunately we don't have many dresses for her we have a lot for Eastynn. The party went well the girls looked cute and Taylor had a blast holding Nathan's hand, Jacob's older brother, for the entire night.
That's all for now.

Boring Week

It was to cold of a week for anything interesting to happen.
Our van didn't start and then once we got it boosted the command start didn't work but we got it.
Taylor's week was the same as usual although she is a lot more cuddly this week and telling me she loves me a lot more. I can handle that anytime.
Eastynn had a pretty clumsy week. She took a couple big spills but nothing to major.
Tonight we have a birthday party.
That's all for now

Weekend Fun

Not much has been happening around here lately.
Friday night we had Dan and Linda over and we played a game called Cranium. It was so much fun and the girls were victorious. Whoop whoop. LOL.
Saturday I was so hurting and played some darts, Thank God. Fabian was also hurting but he had ti stay at home with the girls poor guy. I did give him a little relief once I got home I took both girls to the pool which was a little scary and a lot of fun. I ended up in a little pickle with the girls once the waves came on but luckily a near by mom gave me a hand and scooped up Taylor. All was good after that.
Yesterday we didn't do anything. We just relaxed on the couch although Fabian and Eastynn went for a quick trip to go get groceries. And then the cold hit we will not be leaving the house unless necessary till the cold snap ends.
That's all for now

Trying To Turn A New Leaf

So I'm trying to turn over a new leaf by keeping myself organized and energized. I would ultimately like to be going to bed at 11 and waking up at 7. Instead of what happens right now where I try and fall asleep at 11 and don't succeed till about 3 am. Then end up laying on the couch and watching the girls play instead of playing with them. Last night I took a couple sleeping pills and fell asleep at 11:30ish and was up around 7:30. Since I'm not a coffee drinker and since I'm cutting back on my Pepsi intake I'm really struggling. Hopefully it will only take a couple weeks and I will have this down pat.
As for organization. I have actually kept on the laundry since we have got back from Saskatchewan. I have never had more than 2 loads to do and I only ever do 1 a day. I also end up cleaning the girls room everyday. If I keep this up as I have been I can add a room every couple days or even weeks my house should be as Taylor would say shiny and pretty. Anyway just thought I do a quick post so I wouldn't fall asleep.
That's all for now.

Backyardigans

Last night I took Taylor to see the Backyardigans at the Esplanade (it was actual theatre) with my friend Becky and Taylor's friend Brooklynne. I think it would have been great had I left getting the toys till the end. I bought Taylor a couple of puzzles and I got Eastynn a stuffed animal. As soon as she seen the puzzles she wanted to play with them, when i told her she had to wait till we got home she wanted to go home. She must have asked at least every 5 minutes if we could go home it was a very long 1.5 hour. But mom learned an important lesson NO TOYS TILL THE END. Anyway the parts where I could get her to watch the show she did enjoy the rest was blah. I will take her to another show like that but will do it a little differently next time. I took some pictures but it was with my phone and they are horrible. I will also take my camera next time and also probably take Eastynn.
That's all for now.

2 Dates In 1 Week

Yeah that's right we enjoyed our date so much earlier in the week that we convinced my mom to watch the girls again while we went out for a couple of hours. This time we went bowling it was a lot of fun. I won 4 out of the 6 games. We are both paying for it today though. Oh well.
Today we also went swimming with the girls it was a lot of fun too. We seen Grandma Chisholm, Auntie Velvet, Uncle Darren, Uncle Colin, Logan they were all doing the hockey thing. Kennedy was swimming too. All the relatives came and waved to Taylor in the pool she really liked seeing everyone. And before we said Hi to Uncle Darren and Eastynn put her hands out and went and seen Uncle Darren which was nice. Eastynn had so much fun at the pool I don't ever really remember having that much fun laughing and playing ever before. Actually she has been very happy the last few days her mouth must not bugging her any more and we are all very thankful for that.
That's all for now

Walking.

Eastynn has been walking a lot lately. Its about a 50/50 split now which is awesome. Pretty soon she will be walking. But who knows with that little one I thought she'd be walking 3 months ago already. It still looks funny cause she is so small and she goes so slow she needs to catch her balance on almost ever step.
That's all for now.

Date Night

Fabian and I went to the first movie we have seen since we were dating. Holy did we need that it was a great movie, we went and seen Juno and some how it made it as if we were dating again. I loved the movie it kind of makes me believe that would have been the 2 of us as if we were dating in high school. Paulie Bleeker the passive young man who loved his girl and Juno the witty smart alec who didn't see it at first. I loved every second of it. Going to always be on my top 10 list.
That's all for now.

Good News

So the good news is there is nothing wrong with Eastynn except the fact she is teething. The bad news is she still have 13 left to come. It would be nice if they all came at once. Just kidding. I do although hope when she does get teeth she gets more than one at a time cause the poor girl just can't handle the pain.
That's all for now.

Poor Girl

I really have no idea what is wrong with Eastynn but tonight was horrible once again. Tonight got so bad I phoned health link. I couldn't even hold her she was crying so hard that I couldn't hear the nurse. She was so upset she didn't know what she wanted. If she wanted up I picked her up then she would want down so I let her down just for her to realize nope she did want up. Poor little thing and she would flail and hit me just cause she didn't know what she wanted and I had no clue what she wanted at all. Fabian and I just sat the not knowing what to do. He finally was able to rock her till she calmed down. That was after she had some teething tablets.
The health link nurse said she needed to cry like she was for 2 hours before we took her in, wow 2 hours that would have drove me up the wall. We are still not sure if she is teething or if it is an earache some things she does make me think its an earache and others just teething. Hopefully if she is teething the teeth break through soon. I hope she can make it till Monday but if not we are taking her in tomorrow. I will also try and get her to nap a bit tomorrow. She didn't nap much today an hour maybe that is 2 hours short from a normal day. I just want to make my little one comfortable.
That's all for now.

I Think I Got It

Sleep I think was the answer. Yesterday I put Eastynn down at 8:30 am and she slept till 10 and again at 1:30-3ish. It made a huge huge difference. I hope to maybe keep it up its nice anyway when Taylor has school we can both have a nap. I think Fabian is going to take Eastynn to the doctor on Monday. I even got Taylor to lay down for a nap today I hope this is something we can all keep up.
That's all for now

I Don't Even Know

I'm not even sure what is wrong with Eastynn right now hopefully we can get her into see the doctor soon. I can't even believe how much she cries although it is mostly in the morning and right before bed hopefully I can get to the bottom of it before then. I can't be sure if it is teething or an earache and a earache is not something I want to mess around with.
On another note she should be walking soon she is taking a few steps more everyday. Although I thought she'd be walking by 11 months, so what do I know.
That's all for now

Momma's Gonna Pull Her Hair Out

I have no idea what is the matter with Eastynn. She was up at 4am and then slept off and on till 6:30. That's when daddy normally gets up so while he showered I put her in front of the tv and opened the door to the bathroom and shut the door to my bedroom and got 1.5 hours of good sleep. But from the time Fabian and Taylor left this morning till 11:00 crying and whining non stop. I feel like I tried everything I gave her some tylenol and then when I had the chance some teething tablets (I did wait till it was safe) thank goodness the back of the teething tablets bottle says if your baby has been crying it may make them sleep. Here's hoping. I changed her diaper twice and I feed her twice. So I feel there is only so much I can do. She is feed, clean, and hopefully comfortable if she was in any pain. I think we were both getting mad at each other anyway so its a good thing she went down.
That's all for now.

Back To School

Today was Taylor's first day back at school she had a good day so she said. Fabian actually straightened her hair and did a fantastic job, watch out Uncle Jason. (Just Kidding). Nothing really new other than that.
I went to Lethbridge this weekend for darts and did not bad joint 5th for singles and joint 3rd for ladies doubles both events I ran in to a wall I like to call Linda Ledingham. Dad and I didn't fair well once we made it to the knock outs but we did come out first in our section. The girls and Fabian did really well with out me too, which is a relief that means I can probably travel without them to tourney's. Although I love having them there it means I can't share the expense's with someone else like gas and hotel.
That's all for now.

Sledding

Today we went for a little walk in the beautiful weather. I put Eastynn in her new sled and Taylor took Pebbles (our new old dog she lived with my parents for awhile). Eastynn didn't look to be enjoying it but as soon I talk to her she was all smiles.
That's all for now.

I Guess Not

I was trying to wean Eastynn but looked at a website and realized that we are going to fast. They showed 8 signs that it is going to fast and Eastynn fits into 6 out of 8 of them so maybe I will go back to nursing her again and hope that it helps. Saturday might be hard as I'm leaving for Lethbridge at 6am and won't be back till around 5 or 6 on Sunday. She will manage though I think.
That's all for now.

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 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.
