I have been so busy lately...I will try not to make too many excuses!<br /><br />Reese is getting SO big! She is now in her BIG GIRL BED! The whole family went to Sea World and Fiesta Texas a month ago. There were 8 adults and 6 children 6 and under in our group! We sure were tired by the end of that trip. Anyway, while we were there, Reese slept on the pull out couch in our hotel room alone. We told her that if she was good she could get her big girl bed like her friend Megan had. She was very excited and did great! So when we got home Danny converted her crib into her toddler bed. She has never gotten out of it in the middle of the night, (which was my biggest fear) or had any other problems since. <br /><br />This week has been especially difficult for me because she decided that she does not want me or Danny to take her to bed anymore. We have both made a HUGE effort to always take her to bed together every night since she was a newborn, except if Danny or I were out of town. She announces that she wants to go by herself. She picked up her blanket, gave us hugs and kisses and went off to bed. She closed her door and we watched her in the video monitor just climb into bed and go to sleep. She has been doing this for almost a week. It just breaks my heart to see my baby girl grow up so quickly!<br /><br />She has also been saying the cutest things lately. The other day, Remme was crying in the car and Reese looks at her and shouts, "You are making my ears fall off!" Also, now when she hears someone say "Hey!" she says, "Hay is for horses!" Too cute! She really has such a cute personality!<br /><br />Remme is almost 8 months! I can't believe it. It is going by quicker than Reese's first year. She is sitting up really well and this week I caught her on her hands and knees rocking back and forth. I know I should not compare but, Reese didn't start crawling until she was 10 months old. She was very happy with Danny and I bringing her everything! So Remme has really gotten so big in fact she is HUGE! She weighs 20 pounds. She is hugging and starting to give kisses. I will post pictures of them soon!<br /><br />As for Danny, last month was a record month for him! It was his largest month in sales ever! I am so proud of him. With everything going on in the world today, he is working harder to make sure that his family is cared for.<br /><br />Today is our 4 year wedding anniversary! We spent the evening hanging out together as a family. Which was phenomenal because I am usually working after he gets home, since I have been playing with the kids all day. We ordered in and read books to Reese and Remme played. Danny and I will go to dinner this weekend together to celebrate by ourselves.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03783657710439478653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639961617670168820.post-84213467490179530682009-02-19T19:52:00.000-08:002009-02-19T20:02:24.664-08:00EVERYBODY IS SPECIAL!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ4pU_DDIzI/AAAAAAAAASc/0i_a6JEvsq8/s1600-h/DSC06289.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304722851587367730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ4pU_DDIzI/AAAAAAAAASc/0i_a6JEvsq8/s200/DSC06289.JPG" border="0" /></a> Reese is just the most adorable thing ever! A few days ago, Reese was getting ready to go to her preschool for the day. She ran in her room and told me that she wanted to wear her sunglasses to school, like her friend, Emily. (aka Emawee) I told Reese that Everyone is special and that Emily is special because she gets to wear glasses to make her see better! I explained that her glasses were different than sunglasses... I told her again that everyone is special in some way. I asked her, "Do you know why Daddy is special?" She said with the upmost certainty, "Daddy has one hand!" I then said, "THAT'S RIGHT!" I couldn't believe that popped out of her mouth. We have never sat down and had a talk about it before. So then I said, "Why is Pa-Pa special?" She replied, "Because Pa-Pa has TWO HANDS!" I told her that she was right, but that he is also very special because he get to ride in a special chair and give rides to her and Remme. It went on and on! It was the cutest thing ever! Now she goes around saying that she is special because she has two hands! Kids...gotta love them!Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03783657710439478653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639961617670168820.post-28697676221056508932009-02-19T15:56:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:14:45.044-08:00Happy Valentine's Day!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3zv_ebPGI/AAAAAAAAARs/DT-bL4sYBhE/s1600-h/DSC06275.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304663941930761314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3zv_ebPGI/AAAAAAAAARs/DT-bL4sYBhE/s320/DSC06275.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3zvhIWp7I/AAAAAAAAARc/6Y6CkvWUKwY/s1600-h/DSC06271.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304663933785122738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3zvhIWp7I/AAAAAAAAARc/6Y6CkvWUKwY/s320/DSC06271.JPG" border="0" /></a> Reese and I always make cupcakes for Daddy on Valentine's Day! This year Reese was in charge of the sprinkles. We had fun making them and she just could not get the concept of letting them cook while we ate dinner. She wanted to eat them right then and there. She also put the muffin papers in the cupcake pan! What a helper! We all spent the evening at home together and had a awesome steak dinner! Danny did a great job on dinner and then we watched a movie! It's been a long time since we got to sit down just the two of us for a tv show, let alone a whole movie!<br /><br /><div></div></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03783657710439478653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639961617670168820.post-25044577046125765552009-02-15T16:15:00.000-08:002009-02-19T19:51:59.494-08:00Remme is 6 MONTHS!My baby girl is 6 months old!

Wow how time flies!!! It is so sad. My babies are getting so big! Danny was holding Remme the other night and I walked by and saw this out of the corner of my eye! I just started laughing so hard. Then I thought, " I am sure glad we are not out in public...people would think we need help buying Remme some clothes that fit!" I just thought it was so funny seeing her little toe poking through a hole like that. Needless to say, she has new pj's now! <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3wGlzZNbI/AAAAAAAAARU/8_dowjepEG4/s1600-h/DSC06240.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304659932129867186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3wGlzZNbI/AAAAAAAAARU/8_dowjepEG4/s320/DSC06240.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3wFxyBGtI/AAAAAAAAARM/YRWVAMN86x0/s1600-h/DSC06242.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304659918165449426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3wFxyBGtI/AAAAAAAAARM/YRWVAMN86x0/s320/DSC06242.JPG" border="0" /></a></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03783657710439478653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639961617670168820.post-2863241185181305802009-01-19T14:16:00.000-08:002009-02-19T14:28:10.268-08:00Remme and Benjamin<div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3bEY_CE0I/AAAAAAAAARE/Rtmgy6tyTZs/s1600-h/DSC06238.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304636804585100098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SZ3bEY_CE0I/AAAAAAAAARE/Rtmgy6tyTZs/s320/DSC06238.JPG" border="0" /></a> Remme (5 months) and her boyfriend, Ben(3 months)!

Remme loves her Daddy time at night and sometimes she has a hard time going to sleepfor me. I had my plate party this weekend so I was busy cleaning the house and trying to figure out a way to go grocery shopping with 2 young kids in tow! Kim and Paul offered to watch Reese for a little while so she could play with her cousins, Kaden and Kinley, and I could take Remme to the grocery store. So it all worked out in the end. The plate party was a success and I think everyone got some really cute things. I can't wait to see how they all turned out. Danny made it home Saturday evening and the girls were so excited to see him. So was a very tired Mommy! Sunday, Danny gave me the afternoon off to go shopping with my sister and then we had dinner with the whole family for Jennifer, Jacob, Jared and Grandpa's birthday. There is something to be said about a whole family with 6 kids that are 6 and under. I think people want to run and scream when they see us coming. We had a great time though and a BIG fun filled weekend!Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03783657710439478653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639961617670168820.post-46003641828266291562008-11-04T13:51:00.000-08:002008-11-04T14:57:43.871-08:00That's Exactly Right!!!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SRDRdJMb0HI/AAAAAAAAAMs/3j9S0U5pGaE/s1600-h/DSC05890.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264938263010594930" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SRDRdJMb0HI/AAAAAAAAAMs/3j9S0U5pGaE/s320/DSC05890.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><p>I have been wanting to see how videos work on blogger, so here goes!</p><br /><p>I was capturing Reese play with her ABC Zoo. There is a corresponding animal for each letter of the alphabet. She knows almost all their names and has learned how to match them up on the zoo pad. She decided to say some not so lady like things on this video.

Look at all this candy!!!<br /></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br />We had such a great Halloween and we hope you did too! My Little Bo Peep and my Littlest Sheep looked so cute all dressed up.<br /><br />We started the weekend off great! Nana came to visit on Thursday night. She got to the housearound 7:30 or so and Reese just did not feel like she had enough time with her before going to bed. She was really worried that she would not still be here when she woke up so she kept asking if Nana was sleeping on the couch. Just to make sure that she was still around, Reese woke up in the middle of the night calling out to Nana. Friday, Daddy came home early and we carved our pumpkin together. Reese does not like getting her hands dirty so she took one look inside that pumpkin and then would not go near it. We decided to get into our costumes and take some pictures and then it was off to a friends house to trick or treat. The first house we went to Reese was scared, but with the power of candy, she started doing great! Towards the end of the night she got tired and wanted to ride with Pa-Pa. He gladly took her door to door for some more candy. When we got home and after bath time, it was time to go through all the candy!<br />We had a great weekend!</div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03783657710439478653noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639961617670168820.post-16590333082022654422008-10-30T11:15:00.000-07:002008-10-30T11:35:33.701-07:00Sshhhhh!<div align="center">I have been trying to get Reese to keep her voice down a little when Remme is sleeping. She likes to go up to her and yell right in her face. HI REMME!!! So today, I was on the phone while Remme was asleep in her swing and Reese came up to me with a big SSSHHHHHHH!!! It's so funny because she puts her finger all the way up on her nose.

They were too cute. I pulled the bumbo seat out for the first time for Remme and Reese just wanted to sit in it. It was hers and she didn't want Remme to have anything to do with it. I didn't think Remme's costume was going to fit, but it actually does. I can't believe how big she is getting already. Reese has a blast carrying around her shepherds crook. I have to keep chasing after her so that she doesn't bonk her sister on the head with it. Danny and I have been trying to tell Reese about trick or treating, so that she will be prepared. So we'll see on Halloween, how it goes....<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQiblvPwcKI/AAAAAAAAAKM/5ZgfuHSqplU/s1600-h/DSC05662.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262627237222445218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQiblvPwcKI/AAAAAAAAAKM/5ZgfuHSqplU/s320/DSC05662.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQiblcWJlBI/AAAAAAAAAKE/6iN6ZpsrRmU/s1600-h/DSC05660.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262627232148984850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQiblcWJlBI/AAAAAAAAAKE/6iN6ZpsrRmU/s320/DSC05660.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQibkj8AKxI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/qD_bz-Rt1Hc/s1600-h/DSC05658.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262627217006930706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQibkj8AKxI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/qD_bz-Rt1Hc/s320/DSC05658.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQibj2OXYiI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/AdSY5z1JSxk/s1600-h/DSC05657.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262627204735918626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQibj2OXYiI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/AdSY5z1JSxk/s320/DSC05657.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03783657710439478653noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639961617670168820.post-10478219409488595242008-10-26T18:01:00.000-07:002008-10-26T18:17:08.273-07:00My Little Bowler<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV5ivttII/AAAAAAAAAJs/gBqHlxzo4Go/s1600-h/DSC05655.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261635817975952514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV5ivttII/AAAAAAAAAJs/gBqHlxzo4Go/s320/DSC05655.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV5CyaXcI/AAAAAAAAAJk/pTCIRQE3SqQ/s1600-h/DSC05652.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261635809397333442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV5CyaXcI/AAAAAAAAAJk/pTCIRQE3SqQ/s320/DSC05652.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV4vyHgQI/AAAAAAAAAJc/naEOnabCvv8/s1600-h/DSC05624.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261635804295823618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV4vyHgQI/AAAAAAAAAJc/naEOnabCvv8/s320/DSC05624.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV3-XWO7I/AAAAAAAAAJU/7qjl_rcEH0w/s1600-h/DSC05620.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261635791030205362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV3-XWO7I/AAAAAAAAAJU/7qjl_rcEH0w/s320/DSC05620.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV3FkRHGI/AAAAAAAAAJM/h7twYoSDXvY/s1600-h/DSC05612.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261635775783574626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQUV3FkRHGI/AAAAAAAAAJM/h7twYoSDXvY/s320/DSC05612.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>This weekend was packed full of birthday parties! Happy Birthday to Jacob, Dalton, Sienna, and Sarah! We were only able to hit two of them, but we were still partied out! Reese bowled for the first time at her cousin Jacob's 6th birthday party! It was pretty cool... they have this thing that you set the ball on for the little bitty kids and they push the ball down onto the lane. Reese got her very first STRIKE!!! Then she played ski ball and various sorts of arcade games. In the end she left with enough tickets for a Dora purse. She loved it so much she took her nap with it. I am sure you will be seeing that thing in some pictures because she doesn't want to let it out of her sight. Remme had fun too, looking at all the lights and listening to all the loud noises. Remme and Reese had matching outfits on and they looked so cute. They are going to kill me when they grow up for dressing them alike all the time. </div></div></div></div></div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03783657710439478653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639961617670168820.post-91270960530718904522008-10-22T20:20:00.000-07:002008-10-24T20:28:43.025-07:00School Picture Day!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQKRywKJmHI/AAAAAAAAAJE/X_VNArXdUJo/s1600-h/DSC05574.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260927615829121138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w4fj__X8RoI/SQKRywKJmHI/AAAAAAAAAJE/X_VNArXdUJo/s320/DSC05574.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Today was school picture day at Reesie's preschool.
