My Growing Babies

Bridget's 1st Birthday was Friday (the 17th)and we had a ladybug cake! She promptly knocked her cake in the floor (carpet of course). She's a mess but we love her! I can't believe how fast this year flew by! She is already walking and trying so hard to talk. The doorbell rang the other day and I swear she said "who is it?"! She is very laid back and mellow and likes to watch her big sisters play. But she'll also get into everything so we have to keep a sharp eye on her.

Bridget went to the doctor on Monday (the 20th) and she weighs 19 lbs 5.9 oz and is 28.25 inches tall. She is almost back on her growth curve after falling way off just 6 months ago. She had to get 4 shots but, as always, she was back to her smiley self within seconds. She's my little ray of sunshine!

Kaydence had her 2 year check up Wednesday,the 22nd (yes, 2 months late!). She weighs 28.2 lbs and is 35.25 inches tall. Apparently she's tall and skinny compared to other kids her age. She had to have 2 shots and have her hemoglobin (sp?)and lead checked. She went around the rest of the day saying "I got shot." LOL She is talking nonstop these days and has a huge vocabulary but we are a little concerned about her articulation so she's having her speech evaluated.

Kaydence is our little monkey. She loves to climb and run and jump. Her favorite 'indoor' activity is coloring--on my walls and doors! No more unsupervised coloring--Mommy now knows better!

Katherine is doing great. She's going to start a pre-K/Mothers Day Out in the fall. She so excited about going to school!

The new house is great. I'll post pics soon. We are almost completely unpacked and settled--can you believe it?!

Cory and I are doing well. He's still working at a job site in Winchester and I think he's enjoyed it. Mary Kay is going great too. I've had a few set-backs and some hurdles but overall it has been an amazing experience.

I'm really trying to be a better blogger! I think I still have some work to do!

LOVES!!

MOVING!!!

We closed on our house yesterday! We bought the paint for the girls' bedroom and their bathroom. I'll be moving a few things today and tonight we'll shampoo carpets and get started on the paint. We are all so excited and ready to be IN the new house!! I'll be posting before and after pics so check back!

LOVES!!

Haaaallelujah

We paid rent for the FINAL time this week! We are just 10 short days away from closing on our first home. The inspection was on Wednesday and it went well. There are a few things that need to be fixed but overall I think we're getting an amazing house. Of course, I thought that already! I'm busy getting all the utilities turned on and pack, pack, packing!

Have a fabulous weekend!!

LOVES!!

Busy

So, its been over a month since I last posted and in that month we decided we were ready to buy a house (no more throwing our money away on rent!). We found a house and we'll be closing on March 16th!! So much to do and not much time to do it in. Our lease is up at the end of the month so we'll have two weeks to move. My Mom and sister are coming up March 2oth and staying until the 24th. My Mom and sis are going to help me paint and my Mom will watch the girls while us young folk do the heavy lifting!

Prayers and fingers crossed all things go smoothly. Our inspection is tomorrow (well, today since its after midnight...I should be in bed!) and if that goes well then we'll get the appraisal set up. We don't see any reason this all won't go very smoothly and without hesitation but you really never know. I'll post pics as soon as we are in. There will be lots of before and after pics because I have big plans in my head! We'll see how much Cory is on board once we get in there...LOL!

Kaydence also had her 2nd birthday. I made her a monkey cake. No party...she's not that into groups of people anyway. We did take her to Red Robin and they sang to her. I don't think she really knew what to think of that situation!

LOVES!!

New house!
