Something Funny

2011-12-21T17:42:00.003-06:00

Alyssa was talking in the car (something that is nonstop) and told us that we are all kids, even big people because God and Jesus are our mommy and daddy.

Alyssa loved preschool and had lots to say..."I got to play outside on the slide and made lots of friends, but I don't know their names yet....I was picked to help with the calendar....the teacher, Ms. Sherry, is very nice and I told her all about my homework (a monkey that she decorated & named Scarlet Rainbow)...the teacher said it was ok that the boy next to me did not have his homework done....but some boys did get in trouble for spitting!!"

Zane's New Trick

2011-08-06T23:43:00.002-05:00

Growing up too fast...

2011-08-02T22:30:00.002-05:00

Zane was a little cranky today and wasn't napping well. I decided to stick my finger in his mouth and see if I felt his teeth coming since he's had the four front top and four front bottom (eight total) for a while now. I did not feel the canines at all but I noticed some swelling further back. I found that on both lower sides and on one upper side, he is working on molar teeth that are partially visible!!! He seems crazy young to have sooooooo many teeth. Alyssa had four total at this age, but Zane has eleven!

On another note, Alyssa is growing up too. She is not only extremely tall for her age but she is more like a 13 year old than a 3 year old sometimes. The other day she was talking about growing up. She said that she would get a prince and move away. When I expressed how sad I would be and how much I would miss her, she responded by telling me that I could call her on the phone....and then I would not be the boss of her ANY more! I couldn't help but laugh and then I told her that I would ALWAYS be the boss of her. Seriously, what 3 year old thinks like this??? I'm really not THAT bossy! She has also recently told me that she will buy a house like the ones on HGTV and that she wants to change the color of her hair to yellow. Just this morning she said, out of the blue, that she is grown up enough to have earrings!

Our little Zane turned ONE last week!!! It was a great puppy party with face paint, hotdogs, balloons, Alli’s cake and cookies (sooooo yummy & cute….You are awesome Alli!!!!), a fun game with hidden doggie bones, lots of presents, and many two-legged and four-legged friends!!!! I know that Zane won’t remember it but he’ll be able to look back at the pictures and see what an amazing group people who were there to show how much they love him!!! Thanks to all who came from far and near! We love all of you!

2011-04-30T18:34:00.004-05:00

After going to church on Sunday, James and I decided that we'd take the kids to a nature park right near our house to get a couple pictures. I think the pictures turned out ok, but I did not....I have now found 3 ticks and several other bites over the past week and even went to immediate care because one bite turned out REALLY ugly. I am just thankful that, so far, I am the only one in the family suffering from these hideous little monsters!

Alyssa has a love for gardening that must have come from her Grandma. I'm sorry I didn't get pictures of the actual planting but we did take pictures the day after. Alyssa could spend all day every day outside in the dirt. She helped me dig the holes and she placed each flower in it's hole and she helped water the plants. She had lots of fun!

Kaylin was the Birthday Girl! Isn't she pretty??? She just turned 7 years old.

Tyler is just 3 months older than Alyssa.

Makenna is the "middle child" She never takes a bad picture.

Alyssa was VERY serious throughout the whole party. She was watching the older girls to see what to do and did NOT want Mommy's help AT ALL!!

I feel the need to explain that Alyssa was pretending to be a firefighter. She had found a bucket and a little band that she was throwing to me to "save" me. She is so funny!

I love this picture. He has the sweetest blue eyes!

Alyssa's hair may eventually all grow out but right now she has all these wispy fly-away hairs that won't stay in a hair band. She looks wild, but you've got to love this little girl!

Alyssa's Bedroom

2010-09-25T12:06:00.000-05:00

I had never documented Alyssa's transition to a big girl bed when she moved out of the nursery. We moved her into the room across from the nursery several months before Zane came. We had not wanted her to feel as if Zane had kicked her out of her room so we wanted to switch over early. She handled it great and even though there are no bars on her bed, she never gets out without permission. (I don't know how we got so lucky!) I've finally taken pictures because I wanted to show the flowers that Grandpa made for her wall. I think that they are just awesome!!!!!

Here are the baby quilts that Nancy was so very kind to make for Alyssa and now for Zane. I feel so very blessed to have someone who would take so much time to make something so very special for my little ones. I absolutely love both quilts and I know that they will be a special treasure that will remind us of the love and support that we have from all of our family and friends. Thanks sooooo much Nancy!

2010-07-12T21:27:00.001-05:00

We stayed home for the 4th this year even though I was a little worried about how Alyssa would do with all the noise in our neighborhood (she has developed a fear of thunder and all things that sound like thunder). She surprised us and only got upset a few times. She really enjoyed the little toss and throw poppers so we had to go buy more when her supply ran low. The last few pictures were taken in our driveway so you can see a little sample of the show that our neighbors put on every year.

Broken.....again

2010-05-10T22:50:00.001-05:00

We're beginning to worry that something's wrong with our baby. She is just now 2 and a half and this will be cast #3. The story...she was playing with her cousins in the office at James's parents house this weekend. They say that she was getting down from sitting in the office chair and landed on her hands and knees. She cried and grabbed her arm but within ten minutes seemed to be "over it." The next day she came down the slide, feet first, but came fell forward onto her arms. She cried again grabbing the same wrist, but seemed to, for the most part, be fine. She has been obsessed with ouchies lately so we thought maybe she was just being dramatic. Tonight, she was playing with a friend, picking up large toys, swinging them, throwing the large boucy balls, crawling up on things, etc... She rolled off the ottoman...and again grabbed the same arm crying. Well, she didn't seem to get over it as quickly this time and after three days of this we decided to drive to the immediate care center. Long story, short, it is broken. They put a brace on it and we'll need to go get a cast at the orthopedic doctor. They said that both bones below the wrist are broken but the one in the larger bone is more obvious.

Growing Up

2010-05-06T11:30:00.003-05:00

So there are a thousand little things that Alyssa has done that make me smile and I hope that I never forget. This blog is the one place that I can think to write some things so that they will not be forgotten as time passes. For that reason, I've decided to type some of those things down from time to time. So here is the list that I can think of (some of which are old and some are new):
1. Bunnet (the area commonly known as a belly)
2. Milp (Milk) ....by the way she will start speech therapy next week.
3. Roar
4. Boobies (either Alyssa's armpits, bottom, or a boo-boo depending on the context)
5. Alyssa-"I have an ouchy."
Daddy-"Where?"
Alyssa-"Right here.(points to cheek)"
Daddy-"Do you want me to kiss and make it better?"
Alyssa-"Yeah."(Daddy kisses cheek) Alyssa-"I have another ouchy."
Daddy-"Where?"
Alyssa-"Right here. (points to other cheek)
6. Walking on tippy-toes/galloping/hopping everywhere she goes.
7. "Hold you, Mommy???"
8. "Sing ABCDEFG, Mommy? Sing ABCDEFG???"
9. Alyssa-"Sing 'For', Mommy? Sing 'For'."
Mommy-"I don't know what you're talking about."
Alyssa-"For the Bible tells me so."
10. Modert. (Yogurt)
11. "I want my lips." (Lip balm)
12. "Eeeeek!" (What a snake says)
13. "Make the basket! I want in the basket!" Definition of basket--Mommy or Daddy must sit with their legs propped up under a blanket. Alyssa then crawls up and plops herself down in the middle, i.e. the basket.
14. "EVERYbody likes candy"
15. "I need a rubberband"-- bandaid
16. Daddy--"I'm going to eat ICE CREAM! HA HA HA!"
Alyssa--"I'm going to eat Lettuce! HA HA HA!"

Baby Shower

2010-04-26T22:35:00.001-05:00

The baby shower was this past weekend. There are a few events in life in which a person gets to be "showered" with love from their friends and family. Let me tell ya, this was one of those days. If people are among the greatest blesssings in our lives (& I think they are) then I am so very richly blessed. The ladies in this last photo (which I hesitated to post because it looks like I swallowed a couple basketballs) did such an amazing job hosting this shower! I feel humbled to have such an outstanding circle of friends who were willing to make such a special day just for me. Thanks, gals! I love ya!

Zoo with Daddy

James kept Alyssa home on his day off and took her to the zoo. It is one of her favoirte places to go.

The sonogram was today and we're having a boy! Everything was normal except he is 10 days big. They wanted to change my due date but because I am sure about my dates, they are unsure of what to do. I guess he's going to be a big boy! Alyssa does not really understand yet what is going on but I'm sure in June things are going to change. We will be continually praying that she adjusts to our new arrival!

Ooops....again!

2010-01-02T20:50:00.002-06:00

Last Sunday we had another accident. James was playing with Alyssa and tossed her onto our bed which we've both done tons of times before. This time, she braced herself with her arm behind back...it didn't go well and was all twisted behind her when she landed. Her wrist looked bruised and swollen so we went to the immediate care center. They did x-rays and did not find a break. They gave her a wrist brace to wear. By Wednesday, her wrist seemed fine but she was refusing to use her arm and she wouldn't let us bend her elbow. I called the orthopediatric doc that we used before. He did more x-rays and still didn't find anything, but she is obviously in pain so he wanted to immobilize it for 2 weeks. Soooo...we have another cast.

James's Mom

Julie's Mom & Dad

The big news....if you didn't get it from the videos, we are pregnant!!!! We've known since October and it's been crazy hard to keep the secret but now it's out. We gave James's mom a clock with pictures of all of her grandkids and families. We gave my mom a locket and my dad a locket keychain. Each gift had a picture of the 10 week sonogram. My mom's locket had pictures of Alyssa, the sonogram, and one frame with "Due in June" written on it. So, anyway, we were really excited to tell our families after waiting soooooo long.

Christmas Eve 2009

2009-12-24T23:50:00.000-06:00

I had just finished wrapping presents when I said to Alyssa, "We should put on your Christmas dress and take pictures." I was really only half serious since there was wrapping paper and supplies all over the living room, but I turned around and Alyssa was taking off her shirt and within seconds had taken off everything she had been wearing. Soooo, she got to run around in the buff for a while while I cleaned up and arranged things.

Christmas in Edmond with Gram and Gramps was very serious business but she is still talking about it. Alyssa played shy at first but was eventually in the middle of all the action with all of her cousins.

We moved Alyssa to a toddler bed a few weeks ago. While Daddy was working on her crib she kept telling me he "broke it." However, she was quite happy when she discovered the end result!
