Catching Up

Since I haven't been around for a while I thought I'd catch everyone up! We had a wonderful Christmas. We stayed home and it was so relaxing! I really missed my family but it was nice not having to pack and travel.

We got a puppy!!!!! He's a black & white border collie and we named him MacGyver. We're working on housetraining...he peed on my foot yesterday so I'm not sure how well its going!

We are taking Kaydence's paci...that isn't going too well either. She goes around saying "paaaaci, paaaaci!" She only gets it when she's sleeping and she gets really ticked when she wakes up and can't keep it. We also think potty training is riiiight around the corner. She tells me after right after she pees or poops. I hope it happens soon! Two in diapers is expensive.

Bridget is doing well. She's up to 14 lbs 14 oz. She goes back to the doctor in April for her 12 month check up. She is sleeping through the night and is learning to use a sippy cup! She makes a mess with it but likes whats in it (we always use diluted juice to help with the learning process).

Katherine is little miss sassy! I don't know how my Mom put up with me and my sister's smart mouths. One minute I want to hug her she's so sweet and the next I want to send her off to boarding school in Switzerland. Seriously...She'll be starting Mothers Day Out in the fall...maybe I'll get some of my sanity back!

Cory and I are doing fine. He has been back out in the garage building furniture...yay!! He's building me two coffee tables/storage cubes/ottomans. We designed them and they are going to be awesome...I can't wait. I've been working on my MK business and trying to keep from pulling my hair out during these cold winter months.

I'll post pics soon!

LOVES!!!

Its 11 pm, do you know where the cops are?

They were at MY house checking to make sure Bridget had the right prescription! Yeah, you read that right.


I am really ticked right now. This evening we picked up a RX for Bridget for an ear infection. Well, here I sit at 11 pm and there comes a loud knock at our door. I get Cory out of bed and we answer the door to find a police officer. Apparently the pharmacy screwed up and gave Bridget's RX to someone else (when I picked it up it was "missing" and I had to wait on them to fill it again). Our original RX went home with another man whose daughter had strep throat. Luckily he realized before he gave it to his dd that it had OUR daughter's name on it (along with our home address...talk about a personal safety issue!). I guess he called the police and gave them the info, I don't know.

I'm calling tomorrow and giving someone a piece of my mind but what else? I am beyond pissed! I'm sitting here at 1130 pm still trying to get my heartrate to slow because 1) a policeman was at my door at 11 pm, 2) I was freaking out thinking I had given my child the wrong Rx and 3) someone has our home address and knows we have a young daughter (I don't think this is a danger but it COULD have been, ya know?).

At this point I'm shaking I'm so mad. You have to trust your pharmacy as much as you trust your doctor (if not more so)! We're definitely changing pharmacies but I feel like this could have ended so much worse!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, trying to get on top of that!

Bridget seems fine by the way. We only knew she had an ear infection because she had her 9 month check up. She's finally up to 14 lbs 14 oz and growing! My littlest monkey is doing well.

Katherine's 4th Birthday!!!!

We were in Arkansas for Katherine's 4th birthday so we had a party at my Mom's. The theme was Transformers! She went back and forth between Princess & Transformers--Transformers won. She was so excited her cousins got to come to her birthday party. They even went to my Mom's neighbor's to see his donkeys! Thanks, Dr Justice! She was exhausted at the end of the day.



I can't believe my baby is 4 years old already! Four years ago today we brought her home from the hospital and it seems like just yesterday! She is growing into a very smart, beautiful, independent little girl and we are so proud of her!



Here is a link to a slide show~Enjoy!



Katherine's 4th Birthday!

Thanksgiving

We decided to head to Arkansas for Thanksgiving this year instead of Christmas. Much less stress for us! Anyhow, we had a great time. We left the boro at 7 pm on Wednesday (the 26th) and got to my Mom's in Malvern at 2 am! By the time we got unloaded and settled into bed it was 3 am. We spent Thanksgiving Day at my Mammaw & Pappaw's. This was the first holiday that all my my siblings were together in a long time. We took lots of pics so I'll quit boring you with words and let ya have a peek! I made slide shows because I took nearly 200 pics just on Turkey Day! ~LOVES~

I think you'll have to click to see them. I couldn't figure out how to get them to actually load in the blog...one of these days I'll have it all figured out!

Fun Weekend

We had a Mom's Group meet up on Friday and the girls had so much fun! They played dress up, beat up on each other and had a good time! Kaydence & Katherine dressed up as Elmo & Cookie Monster. After the play date we went to McDonald's for lunch with Jennifer and her kids. We left our house @ 9:45 and didn't get home until 3. The girls were all worn out. The little ones took naps and Katherine watched Wizard of Oz (her new fave).











Friday night we had to call the cops. We were driving behind an erratic driver. Then, as we were almost home, they threw a bottle of water out the window AT A CAR! So Cory called 911 and we gave them the license number, but that wasn't enough. We had to FOLLOW said car. As we followed them they kept turning off all the lights and driving in the dark. Turns out it was a bunch of teenagers (explains the stupidity). The driver dropped his friends off and headed back toward town where the trooper pulled him over. He admitted that they had thrown the bottle out the window. They couldn't really charge him with anything (unless the car they threw the bottle at were to call and report) but they were calling his parents.

My issue is this, what if the car they threw the bottle at had panicked and lost control of their car and hit us? What if while they were being ignorant they had lost control of their car and hurt someone? When will people learn that their stupidity doesn't only effect themselves? It could also negatively effect someone else as well. I hope my nephew, who turns 16 next month, is a little more responsible. Hey, a girl can dream, right?

I had a Holiday Sale with two other ladies who have at home businesses. We had Mary Kay, Tupperware, Creative Memories & Thirtyone bags there. It was pretty much a bust but at least I got out of the house and got to chat with adults for a while! If you need any of these services let me know and I'll get you the information.

We had church today but nothing exciting happened.

We have a busy week ahead. We have MOPS tomorrow and I have two MK meetings this week. We're heading to Arkansas on Wednesday night when Cory gets home. Again, not looking forward to the drive there and back but I'm ready to see my family!

I'll post pics later. Blogger doesn't seem to like my pictures right now!

LOVES!!!

My Budding Photographer

Katherine got a kids digital camera last year for her birthday and she can't seem to get it out of our faces! Here a a few of her most recent pictures, I think Daddy took one of them with her camera.













LOVES!

Bridget Update

Bridget is now 12 lbs 10 oz. She is now up about a 1.5 lbs from her 6 month appt and Dr Lowe took her off the high-calorie formula! She seems to have so much more energy now, which is crazy because she was pretty darn energetic before. Continue to keep her in your prayers that she keeps the weight on and continues to do well. LOVES!
