Bye-Bye

So, Haidyn's newest trick is waving, "bye-bye". She cracks me up at how much stuff she is learning. She is starting to get up on her knees, and put her little feet under her and pull up on the furniture. She is saying, "no, no" bc Avery tells her that ALL the time. HAHAH..Avery is having to learn to share her stuff and she is not liking it too much, but she is getting better! She of course says, "mama and dada" too. She claps her hands when you say, "yay" or say the nursery rhyme, "Patty Cake". Anywho..here is a video of her waving to me. Sorry about it being sideways, I didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to edit and flip it the right way!

More lbs. down!

I have still been working to lose some weight, just not as hard as I should be!! I still eat pretty good, I just wasn't working out like I had been and I can tell bc I just didn't have near the energy and didn't feel as good as when I was working out. Well, I started back on the working out on Monday and I am feeling good. I weighed myself this morning and I have dropped more weight and I am super excited!! I only have 5 more pounds till I am at my goal weight! I still have alot of work to do bc I have a TON of toning to do before the summer gets here. I plan on spending alot of time at the lake, floating the river and possibly taking a trip to the beach, so I need a toned body to get into a swim suit!! I am super pumped and determined to get it done :)

Kiddieland Fun..

Since Haidyn has been sick, Avery has had to be cooped up in the house all day, for a couple of days in a row. My grandma came by on Sat. morning to check on us and she took Avery for a walk around the block. Well, Avery went to pick me some flowers and she thought she would be brave and jump off of the curb and she fell right on her knees!!! She came home and had to big scraps on her knees and I had to dr. them up and put some bandaides on them. Later, that night we took Haidyn to my grandma's and we met the Sim's at Souper Salad to eat and the headed up to Kiddieland. Jaxson and Avery had a ball there!! They always have such a good time playing together and wanted to ride everything! I cannot believe how run down and aweful that place looks! You would think for $1.50 a ticket and the amount of ppl. that always go there, that they could afford to do alittle repairing around that place. It is just sad that there isn't too many places around Waco to take your kids and the one place that is available is in terrible condition!! After, we rode the rides we all jumped on the train and rode around the park. Avery loves the train, but hates when we get to the tunnel and everyone screams. I think it just scares her and hurts her little ears. After, the train we rode the BIG slide. That slide is sooo much fun!!! James and Shane would ride,and Kristina and I would watch the kids and then Kristina and I would get our turn. James took Avery up there one time and put her in his lap and they rode down and she did not like that!! She thought it would be fun bc Jaxson was going with Shane, but she wasn't feeling it! haha..she didn't cry, but you tell by her face that she was kinda scared!! We just really had a great time last night! Here are some pics...

Sooooooo Sick!

Haidyn has been really sick since about Wed. afternoon. Her temp. has been almost 104 a couple of times and the dr. really don't know what is wrong with her. Thursday afternoon, she was sooo sleepy, but was just fighting it soo bad! She would lay against me, so she was sitting up in my lap and I put my hand out by her head and she laid her head in my hand and passed out!! It was soooo funny. Here is the pics I snapped from my phone!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

We spent St. Patty's night at home. I bought the girls 2 giant 4 leaf clover cookies, made Avery dinner and fixed her some milk with a little green food dye in it and I had a green Bud Light Lime!! We all wore our green for the day, so there was NO pinching for us :) All in all, it was a pretty good St. Patty's Day!!

Our Family Zoo Trip

Well, mondays are one of James's days off and I didn't have to work today either, so we decided to take the girls to the zoo. We met Selena, sweet little Ryann and Jay up there. It was an absolute gorgeous day out, not too warm and a light breeze, I don't think it could have been any better!! Avery was soooooo excited to go and see all of the animals! She kept saying she wanted to see the elephants, monkeys, lions and the giraffs. She has already been to the zoo about 4 times and the yr. just started. She could go there everyday and it never get old. We took the double stroller, but it was kinda a waste bc Avery walked the WHOLE zoo. Haidyn liked the zoo too, but she doesn't really know what all is going on. She loves to be outside and she liked the aquariams, she really like little Ryann! We put them both into the stroller seat together and got some pretty cute little pics. Haidyn kept playing with Ryann's passy. After the zoo, the girls went over to my mom's and James and I went and had a nice dinner at Cheddar's. I just love that place and it was nice for us to be able to go eat together :) I took a ton of pics, but here are just a few...

I think this picture is soo sweet of the two of them!!! Look at Haidyn's rasberries on her knees from crawling SO much!! Poor thing, I keep pants on her here at the house and put lotion on those knees. I guess it will take some getting use to for her knees.

HAHAHAHAHA...

Haidyn is such an easy going little girl and it doesn't take much to get her laughing. We were sitting on my bed the other night and I would just make a noise and she would crack up! I watch this video and it makes me laugh everytime I watch it. She has such a cute little baby laugh and here is the video.

New Hobby!!

So, Tiff and I have taken up a new hobby and I must say it is really fun!! We are just beginners, but I thought I would share some of the pics we have done. I took these of Haidyn last week and emailed them to her and she did some editing and playing with the colors in the pics. I think they turned out pretty good. Here are a some of them.....

Haidyn is an official.... "Crawler"!!

Haidyn finally started crawling!! She has been working on it for awhile now, but she would just roll or crawl backwards everywhere she wanted to. Well, she finally decided she would try to go forward and I just think it is soo cute :) Here is a video of her....


Let the Terrible 2's begin.....

Our little Avery snail just 2! Wow, where has the time gone?? I am in absolute awe by this little girl. She is growing up so fast and is really a smart and funny thing. I want to call her my baby girl, but she really isn't a baby anymore. She is now a little girl. It makes me sad to see her getting so old, but then again, I LOVE to see her grow and learning things. I am about to sign her up for dance and swim lessons. I really want to look into signing her up for gymnastics, but I am not really sure on the age limit for that is. Last Thursday, was her actual bday and James and I both had to work, so she went to daycare for a little while. She woke up and wanted donuts and Big Red for breakfast and since it was her bday she got it. I rarely will let her have some soda and especially for breakfast!! Then, I got her dressed and we went to HEB and she picked out some cupcakes to take to her class and off we went to daycare. I worked till 4:30 and then rushed over to pick her up, we then went back to HEB and picked up her Dora birthday cake and she picked out a toy and a balloon. We went home and waited on daddy to get off of work and then we met some family up at Peter Piper Pizza and let her play and eat pizza. It was soo much fun! We sang to her and she kept telling us to stop...haha! Saturday, was her real party at Jumping Party of Waco. Alot, of ppl showed up to help us celebrate our angel's birthday. The kids and adults had a BLAST jumping and sliding on the big bouncy houses. My favorite and even Avery's favorite was the big obstacle course! After, everyone jumped we did cake and presents and came home and unloaded everything! Avery was pooped and passed out before we got out of the parking lot! James's grandma came over and James and I went to the store bc we were have a get together over at our house that night. The Pifer's, The Sim's and there 2 little boys, Mason, James Green, my sister and her friend and Thomas all came over. The guys played some Texas Hold'em and us girls just made some yummy finger foods and watched the kiddos play and we just chatted. After, the kids went to bed we went and sat out on the back porch and played some drinking games and listened to some good ol' country music. I was great!! Us girls, later decided to walk on over to the park and had fun like we were kids again. It really was such a FABULOUS day, I couldn't have asked for it to go any better!

My 24th B-day

I know I am a little late on the posting of my bday, but I just wanna share the pics and let you know what all we did. Friday night we went to the mall and I bought a shirt for Sat. when we went out, then we called in some Olive Garden to go and went home, ate and relaxed and watched some t.v. Saturday morning, I woke up to James and Avery giving me kisses and telling me, "Happy Birthday". James went off to work and me and the girls just hung out all day and it was PERFECT!! We got ready and took the girls to my mom's house to spend the night and we headed up to George's and met Tiff, Zach, Ash, James, Mason and George up there. We had some yummy Big-O's and just all hung out and it was sooo much fun. The Pifer's headed home a little early bc Tiff wasn't feeling so good :( After, George's we headed to Cricket's and partied till they kicked us out. I was a great bday and the 1st on in 2 yrs., that I was able to go out and let loose with my friends! Here a few pics...
