Sick Kiley

I thought we would escape the winter without any sickness BUT I was wrong. On Friday March 4 Kiley start coughing and then over the weekend she started breathing REALLY fast and shallow. When we woke up on Sunday morning I thought she was feeling better, just had a fever. We gave her Tylenol but her fever would never break she was at 100 with medicine and up to 103 without :( Around 1 am on Monday she woke up coughing very bad and still breathing fast, I made the decision then that I would stay home from work and take her to the Dr. I got into the Dr at 9:50 Monday morning by 10:15 we were getting an xray to confirm pneumonia :( My poor baby girl had pneumonia, it was so sad to see. Her little chest was going so fast and she had dark circles under her eyes. Thankfully her O2 stats were good and she didn't have to get admitted to the hospital. She was put on an antibiotic and we were told to give her a breathing treatment if she started to sound wheezy. About a week later she was feeling much better. I hope that is the only time pneumonia steps foot in our house!

Sesame Street Live

We took the girls to Sesame Street Live a few weeks ago and they LOVED it! The girls are at such a fun age, we are doing all kinds of fun things and the expressions on their faces are priceless. I thought Sesame Street would be something perfect for Kiley to go to because she loves LaLa (Elmo) I was afraid that Hailey might be too big for it but she seemed to enjoy it also!

She is 4 or 14? I swear she is acting like a teenager :)

They melt my heart


enjoying the show

Playing in the snow

We had lots of snow and ice the first of February, too much of both if you ask me! I am not a fan of either, I wish I could pick up my little world and move it some place that is always warm BUT since I can't do that I try to make the best of the snow! We took the girls out to play in it on Saturday, man it is a lot of work. I took about 20 minutes just to get all the warm gear on. The second we stepped one foot outside Kiley lost it, crying like if her hand was just chopped off! She keep saying NO SNOW!! I sat on the edge of the deck and she was very content sitting there with me. Chris and Hailey had a blast throwing snow balls, making snow angels and just being outside. Hailey has always loved the snow!

Disney on Ice

I have been horrible with updating this blog ever since I started school, I feel like all I do is work, be a mom and then do homework! I really want to get better at keeping this updated but right now school is more important. Anyhow, back in January my mom and I went to Disney on Ice with the girls it was Toy Story. To say the girls loved it would be an understatement! It was so awesome to watch their faces, they were amazed by it. I bought our tickets back in July and honestly forgot where our seats were until we got there and we were in the 2nd row!!!!!!! I think I was just as excited about our seats as the girls were. Hailey did tell me the next day that she wanted to go again but was only going if we were in the 1st row, yes I have a DIVA on my hands!









This was Kiley's first year to go to Disney on Ice with us and she did awesome, she sat like a champ during the whole thing. I love that my mom and I have started this tradition of taking the girls every year, I hope we do this until they are 20!!!

Winter Wonderland Party

We celebrated Kiley's 2nd Birthday on January 15 with lots of family and friends. We did a "winter wonderland" theme I wanted everything to be snow flakes and look cold. Everything turned out great and Kiley's cake was AMAZING!!! We are very lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful friends and family, thanks everyone who helped us celebrate our baby girls 2nd birthday!!

Birthday Girl

How is it possible that my baby girl is 2 years old! I feel like I was just in the hospital with my 7 lb 10 oz little bundle of joy!!!

This past year has been such a fun year! Kiley had lots of first during her second year with us, we played in the snow for the first time, which she was not a fan of. Took our first family vacation as 4 to Florida. She went to the beach for the first time also, which again NOT a fan!
