Mylee Update

Mylee is doing very well. She is almost turning five in September. She is so excited to have a Hannah Montana birthday party. They are going to have rock star makeovers. She is a busy bee. She plays with her friends all day everyday. She has lots of friends in her neighborhood. She is very lucky. She is a huge help to mommy with the new baby. She LOVES MILEY CYRUS. She is so cute. She wants to be a Rock Star when she grows up!
My

Abby Update!

Abby is doing great! She weighs 12 pounds 12 ounces and is in the 20th percentile for her weight at four months old...she is in the 40th percentile in her height and the 3rd percentile for her head. Yes! She has a small head! She is doing really well and has not been sick yet with anything. She has thrush, but that is not a big deal. She is getting over it quicker thanks to my friend, Ann's advice with a cool herbal remedy. Anyhow, she is sleeping better at night and is overall a very good baby....Yay babs!!!

Halle Bear

This is Halle being a sweetie pie...Just a quick update on Halle...she went to her Genetisist, and he said she is developing wonderfully. We have to have her evaluated with Early Intervention again, but I think she is doing great. She doesn't have as much energy as the other kids her age, but she does really well. She is a social butterfly and loves to ask people what their name is...She is having a lot of fun hanging out with her cousins and Aunt Emma and big sis Mylee.

Abby's Pictures!

Mike's brother Danny took all of these pictures!! He even designed the announcement! He has his own photography business, check it out at carverphoto.net...

Kids say the funniest things...

Halle: Trick or Treat

person that she doesn't know says, "oh you look so cute."

Halle: what's your name?

person that she doesn't know says some name I can't remember.

Halle: "Where is your bedroom?"

person laughs and attempts to give Halle candy

Halle: I don't like that kind of candy. Do you have Airheads?"

person says well here come see what you would like.

Halle: I only want Airheads. You don't have them.

We leave as I, the proud mother apologizes and makes any excuse for the boldness of my 4 year old.

Me: "Halle what do you do in the temple?"

Halle: "Oh, mommy that's where you get married. Mommy who am I going to marry?"

Me: "I don't know, you are only 3, don't worry about it right now."

Halle: "But, I want my own baby." (She remembered from an earlier conversation that you must get married before you get a baby:))

Me: "Well when your a lot bigger you can get married and then you can have a baby."

Halle: "After I get married in the temple, then how do I get my baby?"

Me: (silently groaning and wishing her father were here to give some insight on the subject) "Halle, how do you think you get your baby?" (nice way to dodge the question.)

Halle: "I will go up to Katie (my friend who has a new little baby boy Jack.) and I will say GIVE ME YOUR BABY!"

Grandma Sue: "Halle please don't bother Abby."

Halle: "Well, if I do bother Abby, will you stop me?"

Kaeslyn (the babysitter): "It's ok to go to sleep Halle."

Halle: "Well..I just want to hang out."

Mylee sits up on the love sac and accidently passes gas:) She says: "Mom, why does our bum have to toot?"

Mom: with a sigh gives some explanation about how gas has to pass and it makes a noise...or something...

Mylee sits there contemplating for awhile then says: "Mom....Why does it have THAT AWEFUL Smell?"

To which mom gives another sigh and secretly wishes her father were here to answer this question, all the while beating herself up inside because she knows she needs to answer her daughter, gives some lame answer about the food we eat and the fact that it passes our..well... if you don't know..GOOGLE IT." (I hope you know I am totally kidding..i really explained it to her.)

I was having a sad moment and little Abby came toddling over and as I was crying she began making silly faces and trying to tickle me, while saying some tickle sound that I must do when I tickle her...it was so sweet she made me so happy:) without saying a word.
