My challenge!

I love being a mom. I am so blessed to have three beautiful children. After Mylee when I was pregnant with Halle I wasn't too worried, because I have done this before...I know what to do. Well, then we found out Halle had a heart problem and we delivered her, almost lost her, and spent literally the first year and a half of her life between doctor visits and hospital stays. We have been very blessed that Halle is so healthy now and so ACTIVE. We really were not sure what to expect given her Syndrome and the heart condition.
So, now the doctors visits have been spaced out and the prognosis much more positive. SHe is doing very well in all areas of development. But, she is my challenge. She is so different from Mylee. All the things that worked for Mylee do no good for Halle. Halle is very curious she is almost three and is literally in everything...constantly. She is always bugging Abby and ripping books, writing on the walls, getting into my makeup, flushing random items down the toilet..so fun! She LOVES Time OUT! She really does! I am not a spanker...so I am desperately searching for an appropriate punishment. Also, along with the misbehaving comes the most sweetest spirited child you would ever meet. She can sing I am A child of God with near perfect pitch. She can sing The Mulan song, and Mermaid song and she knows all the words. She is always calling me Lis and Lisa. She is always saying the funniest things and is very loving. She is so different.. I love her so much..I just get sad when she pushes the neighbor girl down, pokes the baby twins next door and so lovingly asks "Can I HIT her?" She is definately my challenge but I love her so much!!! So I am sorry if she has been mean to any of your children... I am really trying and I know she loves everyone..in her prayers she consistently prays for Malia and Alicen! Very sweet! Today she added Emily and Elorie!

Mylee's Purple People Eaters

Okay! This has been so fun! Mylee started soccer this year! Since her birthday is in September she misses every cut off imaginable. So she is the oldest on her team and definitely the tallest and most coordinated. She loves soccer she scores at least two goals every game and one game she scored SIX. Six goals in a 20 minute game, which she probably played 15 min. of it. I am so proud of her. I am the coach and sometimes the other teams get upset, because she is so fast, but what can I say...she is a Star!! Plus it is three on three, no one is really keeping track anyway...right!

Mylee's Birthday, First day of Preschool, & Idaho!

Mylee had her birthday on September 5th and she turned 5! She had a lot of fun! She woke up and Mike took her to breakfast in her new Hannah Montana pajamas and a tiara. Then he took her to the toy store to pick out a toy! She picked a Hannah Montana doll! Then she went to Salt Lake with Anna, Grandma Sue, her mommy and Abby! They all ate at the Garden. She called it the restaurant in the sky. Then she got to go to Gateway and get a whole bunch of new clothes!!! What a day! Halle helped me make her cake! She did more tasting than actual cooking!!!
She also had her first day of preschool and she absolutely loves it.. Her teacher is Ms. Melinda and she is great! She goes with her friend Tayler! They are best buds!
We also had the chance to go visit Lisa's dad in Idaho. We had a blast hanging out with him, Page and Emma!

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!!!
