Scarlett can turn over

My sweet Scarlett finally started turning over last night. She was the cutest thing, because I would turn her to her back and she would flip over then look around at us and grin. I could just hear the little wheels in her head saying "did ya see me, did ya see me!?"
Next step....crawling!
Go Scarlett!

Ortho Appointment for Tai 7-19-11

Tai and I spent some quality time together today. I took a half day PTO, took her up to work to hang out with everyone, then took her to her orthopedic appointment for her elbow. I think Tai is already growing out of the terrible-2-syndrome, because she acted like a little angel the whole day. Smiled, talked, and said hello/bye to everyone. But, back to her elbow. The nurse (we didn't get to see the actual doctor) checked her elbow then took x-rays. And everything looked perfect, everything was in place and there was no scarring. Her recommendation..."don't let it happen again..." .... wow, really, because I hadn't thought of that!

After the appointment, I stopped at the aquarium store so that Tai could meet the real life Nemo. When I walked up to the first tank, I pointed to a clownfish and asked her 'who is that?' "NEMO!"

Great ending to a good day.

A good weekend

We had a great weekend of simming, shopping, and eating! It was Scarlett's first time in a pool and she loved it! I think both my girls are going to turn out to be little fishes. As soon as Tai's tubes fall out I am going to take her for swimming lessons.

Tai made her first card board box house.

Scarlett received her first set of "Boo" pigtails.

3rd Year Wedding Anniversary - August 15th

Rick and I have decided to start planning a date for our 3rd year wedding anniversary. Drop the kids off at daycare, then dinner, movie, drinks, what else shall we do.....?

Tai has an Ortho appointment on 7/12/2011

Tai's doctor called me back today and decided that Tai needs to see a specialist to determine what to do with her arm/elbow. So we will be seeing Dr Katheryn Biggs on July 12th.

Great long July 4th weekend

We had a great July 4th weekend! Lots of food, fun, and play. Now...we are TIRED!
The weekend started off on Friday, and I got to leave work at 3 pm (YAY!). So I went home, packed a bag, picked up the kiddos, and headed over to see my sister and my nephew at my parents house. Had a great dinner at my parents house (pizza, another YAY!) with my sister, 2 newphews, neice, sister in law, parents, and of course my rugrats.

Then Saturday, we had a day of fun, splashing with the hose, shopping, and cleaning. Any attempts of resting was not written in the cards.

Then Sunday I got up early, made cupcakes, and we headed over to my parents house. My sisters husband and Rick went shooting (at a range, not at animals), while the kids took naps. So my mom and I sat back and cracked open our first beer of the day.
When everyone arrived we got ready for dinner (a 33 lb lasagna, seriously, we weighed it!) and sat down for a delicious feast!

After dinner, the kids sat together and slurped down a cupcake each. Although certains kids (cough, Gavin) would only eat the chocolate icing off the top!

After a log day of play, we headed home.

Monday we headed to Rick's Aunt Linda's house for another BBQ. Hot dogs, chips and wine. Tai was the only kid at this event and acted quite a fool. Throwing, dumping, hitting, snatching, and dog chasing were just a few words to describe the evening with Tai. However, we all had fun and it was great to see Bryan (Ricks cousin) and his wife, Megan.

Very successful July 4th!

Hope everyone else had fun!

Look who is sitting up!

Scarlett has been sitting up (assisted) for a few weeks now. So I thought I better start documenting it! Here she is sitting up with a small boppy around her.

My little girl is so smart!
