Another month already?

Lizzie turned 7 months on the 12th of the month. I can't believe it, where is the time going? (sniff sniff). She is growing way too fast! She still hasn't gotten any teeth and that hair hasn't grown much, but her personality has and she is just the sweetest thing I could ask for!





Before I know it, I'll be writing about month 8!

Goodbye Gallbladder!

Jeremy (BIG JEREMY) got his gallbladder removed today. 2 weeks ago he made a visit to the ER for what he thought was a "heart attack" and was told that he had gall stones and eventually would need to have his gallbladder removed. So he went to visit the surgeon and they wanted it out asap.

Today was the day. He went in at about 8 this morning and got home at about 4. He's snoring away on the couch now, he's in a lot of pain and not feeling well from all the medicine they gave him. We are all hoping (especially me) that he recovers very soon! I'm not sure I can handle 3 "babies" :).

Dancing Santa!

Lil Jer is dancing Santa! I think I will "Elf" Lizzie tomorrow :).

check it out!

HO HO HO

We braved the cold today and went to sit on Santa's lap and ride the train!
Lil Jer didn't want to see Santa because he didn't want his picture taken. But once we got up there he was either too preoccupied or too scared to throw a fit in front of Santa! I think the picture turned out great!! We hope to get professional photos taken soon. Lil Jer scratched his eyeball, it is really red, so we will wait for it to heal!

6 Month, Already?

Well my little baby is already 6 months old. I can't believe it. Having children really makes me realize how fast life really is. She's just a little princess, so happy (most of the time) and her little smile is to die for. She's sitting up on her own now. I don't let her do it if I'm not right there because she still tips over a lot but she's doing it. Wow, these pictures of her sitting up makes me think she has a big head, lol. Her body just seems so much smaller then her head.







And yesterday she had a yummy cookie for her 6 month birthday. Excuse the red nose, she also has her first cold :(.





Now that she is 6 months old I am putting her in her NEW car seat!!! I am so tired of lugging around that baby carrier, my arm cannot take it anymore. Lets hope this car seat brings her lots of safe and happy travels!




And here is a video of her favorite thing to do!

Long time with no update

I guess I don't really have a subject for this blog. Life has been pretty laid back, we haven't done anything too exciting, but there has to be a reason to share some pictures of my 2 favorite kids in the world, right?

Lil Jer hates having his picture taken, so this is pretty much the type of pictures you'll find on my camera;



And then there is Lizzie. She loves the camera, I know Jeremy did @ this age too, I am hoping she won't grow out of it.


And just when I think I can't take another minute at being a mommy I look at this and realize that there is nothing more I would rather do, NOTHING!

I voted!

Today, I voted!
I've been reading all of my friends blogs about how they've waited in lines for hours, etc. It took me no more then 5 minutes from the time I walked in until the time I left! I guess there are some perks of living in a small town!

I'm anxious to watch TV Tonight to see how close this race is!!!
Everyone be sure to get out there and vote today!

Time for Pumpkin Carving

So I've been a slacker with post for the past few days, but it was a busy weekend!
Big Jer and Lil Jer carved the first pumpkin of the year!





Lizzie watching them!



It turned out really nice!

Look who's eating cereal.

I decided to let Lizzie try out some rice cereal the other night. She gobbled it up! We'll try it a few more times and then start introducing the veggies, etc. I tasted the cereal and I have no idea how anyone could eat it. I feel guilty giving it to her. BLAH!!!

Jeremy's Birthday Bash!

On Saturday we had Jeremy's 3rd birthday party at my mom's house. It was a blast! I think that everyone had a great time. A huge Thank You to Ann (grandma) for making all that wonderful food! and Margaret too! And Thank You to Paulette (gigi) for letting us have the party at her house! You both ROCK!

This is the best picture I could get of Jeremy in his costume. He HATES having his picture taken. He dressed as a "green skeleton".



A photo of his cake. I didn't do it myself. I don't think I could have made it this nice! It was a good cake too! Thanks to Adrian's Market :).



All of the kids got a pumpkin and stick on decals to decorate them. I think they all had a blast doing it and it was much easier then painting or carving!


I have more pictures if you'd like to see them

A Little Laugh

So as I was sitting at my desk talking with a customer I left the basket of clothes from the dryer sitting there. I hear little Jeremy say "LOOK MOMMY, I'M A FARMER"

I turn around and see this.....




I didn't realize that farmers dressed in polo shirts and bras :). This boy is too funny!

5 Months, Already?

Honestly, has it been 5 months since my princess was born? Where has the time gone? She's still a very happy baby and she's getting so big. It looks like she's definitely going to be a red head, if that hair ever grows!



I asked Jeremy if he likes having a little sister; he said " I LOVE IT!". As you can see, she loves having a big brother!

My Baby Boy is 3

My baby boy turned 3 yesterday. He woke up saying he didn't want any presents.

Until he opened his "hog hands"...


Then he wanted another present! It was a kid tough digital camera, I am hoping that he'll leave my camera alone now...


Next came the "big" gift. Daddy picked this out, can you tell? This thing is amazing! A must buy if you have a boy ages 3 or older.


Its loud, scary and obnoxious. Lizzie almost jumped out of my arms when she first saw it but now she'd like to get to him to chew on it :). Jer has a blast with it!


We went to The Texas Roadhouse with Pappy for a birthday dinner. They brought out the saddle for a big birthday Yee Haw! Jeremy would only get on it if JW was on it :).


He had a great day. His birthday party is next week, more pictures to come then!

Another sister....another visit!!!

Ami and Kevin came for a visit on Tuesday and left Thursday. We had such a great time. They both loved meeting Lizzie. Lizzie was happy to meet her "Godmother" Jeremy enjoyed the company and extra attention. We were sad to see them go, but can't wait for the big wedding in August!!!

Ami and Lizzie.


JW reading to Jeremy, Kevin, Ami and Lizzie.

Skating Party!

This weekend Jeremy went to his first pre-school birthday party. It was a skating party and he loved it! He spent most of the time on the floor and thought it was the greatest thing. We had a great time! Even Lizzie loved it!




Jeremy and a friend from school:


Mommy and Lizzie:

Uncle or Best Friend???

Here are some pictures of the kids with JW. Jeremy insists that this is NOT his uncle, it's his best friend!!!

Getting Ready For Halloween

I know it's a little early but Lizzie has so many Halloween Outfits I decided to wear one on her the other day.
I haven't decided on what the kids will be yet for Halloween. Jeremy has gone from wanting to be a ghost, then a bee, now he wants to copy uncle JW and be a skeleton. So I will venture out to try to find the perfect costumes for both kids soon. I'm sure I'll be posting lots of fall/halloween pictures soon! For now, here are a few:



We think she really looks like little Jeremy in this picture:

Kimmie came for a visit!

Aunt Kimmie came for a visit. Her first time meeting Lizzie, whom she loved to death! Little Jeremy loved all of the special attention.


Kim and her dog, Rockstar, spent a few nights here. Big Jer took one for the team and agreed to let Rockstar sleep in our house :). Now all I hear from Jeremy is, "Can I have a puppy" Answer is "NO!".

We had a great time w/ Kim and hope she can come back soon to visit. Or hopefully we'll be able to get there!!!

Lizzie's 4 month doctors visit

No picture with this post. I wish I would have snapped one today, she looked too darn cute :).

Lizzie is now 13lbs 15 ounces. Why not just say 14 pounds?? She is 25" long. I was worried b/c I thought she didn't gain enough weight. The doctor assured me she was right on track! I am comparing her to little Jeremy b/c he gained a lot more in between visits when he was her age.

Lizzie also got 2 shots and 1 oral vaccine. She did great, just a yell and a cry for about 1 minute and thats it! She's running a low fever tonight so I gave her some tylenol and she's fast asleep.

I really love our new pediatrician! We switched as soon as Lizzie was born. The entire staff has been nothing but helpful and nice to us! A major difference from the last place we went.

a lazy day

Today we spent the day around the house just hanging out. Jeremy and Jeremy mowed the lawn and then we went to the playground for awhile. It's hard to believe how big little Jeremy is getting. He amazes me every day!
Here are some pictures from today :).

CUTTING THE GRASS:


PICKING IT UP:


AND THROWING IT.....


NOT SURE WHICH ONE IS HAVING MORE FUN???


THE MONKEY ON THE MONKEY BARS

A picture together!

Finally, I got a decent picture of the two of them together! Aren't they just the cutest little kids you've ever seen?

If you don't have anything nice to say

If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it at all!

4 Months Old!

Well today Lizzie turns 4 months! Time is really flying by! Before I know it I will be planning her first birthday.










This dress was bought by our cousin Joyce. Lizzie wasn't really in to posing this morning, she was more interested in eating the beads on the dress :) Hopefully I will get some better shots of her later today! Thank you Joyce for such an adorable dress!
