Where does time go?
I cant believe that this was 2 yrs ago. I remember exactly the day we took this picture. Since this picture we have had a birthday, found out i was pregnant with Dax, bought a house, had another birthday, had Baby Dax, and Chris has lost his job twice. Where does time go?
Dax turned 4 months old yesterday. Now is when i want to stop time and just watch him be little. He has his own personality now, he is the most laid back, calm, happiest baby i know. He is total opposite than his sister was. Emory was a very good baby but she just never seemed occupied, or settled. She never was the cuddle baby, she is her Gammas girl (my momma) and always has been. She thought about smiling but you had to work hard to get one. Shes has always been smarter than me and still is. Shes so smart, i think she is one of the smartest 3yr old i know. Things 4yr olds don't know Emory knows, shes a thinker....she most definitely didn't get that from me! She amazes me and Chris everyday with the things she says and does. Dax on the other hand, he's a momma's boy. I love saying that. He loves people though. Not shy at all. Emory at this stage would think about giving you attention and maybe give it to you if she was in the mood. Daxton will look at you and if you make a funny face or noise, you will get a reaction, most likely a smile! He had been like this since birth. He came out smiling and hasn't stopped. He very rarely cries. If you don't get there in time to fill that empty stomach or needs to be cuddled to go to sleep. Its never a whaling kind of cry but mostly little grunts getting your attention. The only time he has really just cried is the couple days after his shots, we think he would have a bad dream and remember that he was poked and get his feelings hurt. LOL! There is nothing more that i like than taking naps with him or juts cuddling. Like i said Emory never wanted to be cuddled. I think she is too much like me and didn't want any part of it. She does like cuddling but just not with me...mostly her daddy and her Gamma. Dax likes to cuddle with me and my momma when he gets the chance. I haven't really left him a lot. I leave him when i need to with either Chris's parents, my brother and his wife and over night with my mom and dad (which has been twice). I love both of my children very much but they are total opposite, but i didn't want them to be the same, that wouldn't have been very much fun. I say i cant wait till he is running in his sisters room stealing her toys and running down the hall way with his little trucks and cars but i can. I want him to stay small as long as possible, but i cant wait to hear his first words, watch his first steps and watch his little personality grow. I'm sure he will be complete opposite from Emory and I'm sure there will be many fights between them. I think i should start working on our time out chairs! haha! But i guess since we really cant stop time that i better enjoy the time i have with them both now.
O by the way, Dax now weighs in at 18.8lbs and is 26inches long. He's growing like a little weed. He's in 6-9month clothes and size 3 diapers. He's on the same path as his sister(who wears a size 6 girls), even though he is a little shorter than she is growing, boys grow taller later and i'm sure he will catch up! I will be looking UP to both of them soon enough.
This is by far one of my favorite pictures of Emory...im sure i will have one of Dax also!!
Happy Holidays!

Elmo, Shoe Boxes, birthdays, turkey, christmas...all in the same WEEK
So last Saturday the 14th Mom and I took Emory and Dax to see "When Elmo Grows Up", and we also took Cason, Emory's best friend and his momma Laura Beth. It wasn't as bad as it thought it was going to be. I'm impressed that both kids were so good the entire time. Cason got to hug Elmo, Zoe, Cookie Monster, and i believe Abby. Emory was not going to get that close, she liked looking and listening to them but she is a lot like me and preferes to just hang back!There are many more pictures but my mom has some and there were to many to choose from!
Sunday we had Casons birthday party to go to, hes 4! I kept Cason from 8 weeks old till he was a little over 2 yrs old. He was my first child i say, my first little boy. He's Emory's best friend. They have grown up together!This next is called..."How many guys does it take to put a toy track together........?"
Apparently 4!!!! Haha!
This week we did a lot also. I have found a great website thanks to Carla Hutchins its www.kraft.com, its absolutely amazing.I have made 6 recipes so far and none of them have went wrong. they are easy and affordable! They taste really good!
This weekend we put up most of our Christmas things. We put up our tree and the 2 lonely Christmas Village buildings i have!

Many more Years to come!!
1 Corinthians 13:7
-----"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Happy Halloween!!
Daxton, my little puppy, he was so stinking cute!! His pawpaw Don told me the only other time i can put make up on him is if its the black under the eye junk football players put on.
TRICK OR TREAT!!
Give him a few years he will figure it out!!!
So it was a pretty long night after my brothers house we went to both of Chris;s grandmothers house's and to his parents house, so we could say that Emory did go "Trick or Treating." We got home and Chris asked me about 9:45 what time it was and i said 8:45..DAY LIGHT SAVINGS TIME, lets just say our be was very comfy an hour earlier that day...HAHA, but unfortunately the kids don't realize your suppose to sleep that extra hour, not get up and hour earlier. Hopefully they will figure it out!! Well anyways i will leave you with one last picture.. of all the grand kids(for my parents that is!)
Thats Riley he's my nephew! Until next time, hope you have a good one!Wednesday, October 28, 2009
The Boot
Introducing Bella Ann
I introduce to you Bella Ann Coon!
This is what happens when i leave the room for 10 seconds! Right up into his lap! We have a little problem with her biting him, mostly on his toes, u can see how they look nice and tasty, they hang over his seat right at her level, but she bites everyone so i just have to keep a close eye on her! But as you can tell he doesn't mind her! We have been trying to house break her but shes not doing very well, thankfully we don't have carpet in the house! We are kennel training her but that isn't going very well. We put her in it, in our bathroom, with the fan on and the door closed then our bedroom door closed, thinking that she would stop barking after 5-10 min but nope, shes goes for hours at a time. But she goes potty in the house, even if i have just took her out and she went there she comes right back in a goes on the floor. I have no idea what to do... guess we will figure it out. Its really funny when we get her out of her kennel because she will step out sit down look straight up at us and bark as loud and as fast as she could, we say she is cussing us out! Nice to say i know but if you could only hear her!
Emory does really good with her! She still doesn't realize that she just wont come on demand so i have to explain multiple times a day that Bella is going to do what ever she wants! Emory helps out a lot with Bella, feeds her, tells me she peed in the floor she even took her out potty for her daddy! I took this picture to show you what my life looks like....
Emory being a typical 3 year old...Dax I'm sure asking what the heck was going on behind him..and Bella in her bed on the couch beside who else but me!!!
Life has been a little hectic lately, not much sleep for mommy and daddy (he takes Bella potty during the night), short naps for both kids and lots of cleaning of the floors!! I cant wait for Friday night high school football and Saturday Fall Festival at Church. I'm sure this will be the last post for the week unless something happens to the kids and they both fall asleep at the same time..:-) Today is suppose to be the only day this week that its not suppose to rain so I'm thinking we may go for a walk! We all need some vitamin D! Until next time, Have a Safe Halloween!

Our crazy house hold!
and Daxton will be a puppy..there isn't a lot of selections for 0-3month babies...o well its still cute. and this isn't Daxton either..lol
So we got our shopping done at Target and headed to the bank, well as soon as we entered it Lil' Man started squalling! It was lunch time! so i hurried up and decided to take Emory to McAlisters (Mataliters, as Emory says) so she could eat and i could feed Daxton, and everyone could be happy! By the time we got done it was almost 1 and neither one of them have had a nap! Knowing that i skipped out on Walmart, the bad thing...no food for dinner!! Thankfully i live 20feet away from Chris's parents house and Don came over to watch them while i ran to Brookshires! Hes a good person to have around!! :-) So around 6 o'clock i got a phone call from Chris, who was still at work, explaining me how a Mommy cat had dropped three kittens in the plant where he works and that he has been watching them and that she hasn't been back in almost 12hours. Well of course I'm thinking that hes talking about three 8week old cats that were being weened. But know he tells me that he believes them to be about a week old and he was afraid that if he left them there over night they would die, what was i to say "NO", yeah right, my parents never left a cat in the cold or a dog! :-) So i told him to pack them up and bring them home. I got on the Internet to prepare my self for syringe feed kittens and waking up every 3 hours to feed them. He brought them home in a shoe box, that tells you how tiny they were. 2 of them were calico and about 3 oz and the runt was black and white and weighed about 2 oz. They were so cute and tiny, they squeaked, instead of meowed, they could barley walk and their eyes were barley open! I'm thinking they were 10-14days old! So i took them in for then night but was determined that i was not going to foster these kittens. We are getting a puppy this weekend, i cant get a puppy when I'm bottle feeding three cats!
Anyways the Klein Animal Shelter in J'Ville took in 2 of the kittens, the runt and the biggest calico(who didn't eat very well), because they had a surrogate mommy cat that would feed them. The other calico went to a guy at Chris's work. The kids and I meet my Dad for some lunch since he was working at Chris's work that day! Then the kids and i went home for some much needed rest! So we rested for a little bit and when Emory woke up we decorated her pumpkin, I picked up this decorator kit for it at Target and its like the old Bright Lights we had when i was little. You scrape out the pumpkin trace your pattern then poke the little pegs in the holes, put a light in the pumpkin and see your creation!! Its really cute i will post a pic as soon as i get my camera back. Well Emory decided she wanted to put it on PawPaw and Nanas front porch where everyone could see it. So i put Dax in is pouch, grabbed the pumpkin and headed to pawpaws. We dropped it off, talked to him for a little bit then headed back home. Well as i went to turn the door knob, it didn't turn. I was locked out of my house, no keys, no phone, nothing! Just me and the kids! Didn't even think about taking my keys i live 20feet away from where i was going. I looked at Emory and asked her if she locked the door, with a cute little smirk she said "NO..."giggle giggle! UGH!! So back to PawPaws house we went. This was at 4, Chris's didn't get home till 8:30! Thankfully i dint have to worry about formula and Nana had some size 4 diapers that we wrapped Dax in when the time came to change him. It was really funny! Thankfully we survived the day!
Well i said earlier that we are getting a new addition to our family, crazy we are, i know, but that's just who we are. HAHA!! We are getting a 6 week old black and white Cocker Spaniel. This is a picture of some of the puppies from the litter. We don't know which one we are getting but we get to pick HER out on Saturday! We still haven't chosen a name so if you have any suggestions we would appreciate it! Leave us a message and let us know what you think!!
Its Wednesday..the week is headed downhill!! Yay for the weekend!!
Bye For Now!
