Shellie is WALKING!!!! I turned around and she was walking towards me! Such a big girl!!
She had her Dr appt today and weighed in at almost 18 pounds and 29 inches long. Big girl! She did great with her shots and found out she had an ear infection. Hopefully the meds will clear up her forever long running nose! I love you shell belle!

Shells First Birthday!

Happy Birthday Shell Belles. Mommy and Daddy Love You So Much and It had been a wonderful Year!!! 

Tons of pictures!

A few updates on Shellie.....She took her first official steps yesterday and can now climb up and down the stairs. She loves to eat food and take naps. She does not handle cow's milk well yet. Oh well. She loves her brother VERY much and likes ALL his toys! She loves to give everyone hugs and screech really loud happy like. It hurts your ears. She's beautiful and perfect. Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Emry is loving school and is talking and learning SOOOO much. He comes home very very dirty! He is officially potty trained! Yea for no more diapers! He loves his sister and loves to pick on and share with her. He's so happy at the end of the day to see her and play with her. 

Devin and I are still working like crazy but at least we have beautiful weather to do it in. We miss our family and are excited for the fun summer ahead! In 2 weeks we fly to Washington to visit my family for the weekend at my dad's cabin. We're very excited. Health wise the family is doing much better. We're down to running noses but that is much better than hospital stays and cancer!!! YA BABY!!!

We love you all! Happy Mother's day to all my beautiful friends and especially my Mommy and Sister!

Someday!

Someday I'll have enough time to blog. Shellie turns 1 on Mothers day so probably then. Anyways for a little update some pictures of our current life. Eat, Sleep, Work. Our life!

French Fry not a cigarette FYI 

My baby Cockatoo  

These cows would not Move!!! 

Chickens chasing me!!! There was like a hundred more but they were under the truck or the other side.  

Finally my kitchen table. Only took 5 years to decide on which one I wanted and worth buying it! 

Still working, everyone's sick and growing. Life is crazy busy and anxiously waiting for my good friend to have her baby girl Green!!!!

Shellie's 9 months old.

baby photo shoot......I had only 3 pictures in who knows how long so I took a few so I'd at least have some

Is this not the most cutest thing ever! She looks like she's putting a curse on you but she's so happy!

Happy Family

Shellie started to officially crawl today! She's been doing a fantastic bear(military) crawl for a couple weeks now. I was thinking this morning about how sure I was that she'd be crawling by the time we go on vacation. But she wasn't yet and how sad I would be to get a call from grandma next week that she finally did her first crawl....but she did it today!

She also started taking steps last week while we're holding her hands. She wouldn't do anything before but now picks up her legs and steps.....yay more progress! She loves to stand up. If you try and make her sit down, she stiffs her legs and straight falls back and cries. It's funny so until she decides she's tired the girl will stand.

Another exciting note is she finally gained weight!!! She is now finally 16.3 pounds!!!! She lost a couple pounds when she was sick and finally gained more. She also finally grew in length and is now 27 inches long. That was a worry for the Dr, if she hadn't grown yet she was gonna have to go to primary for tests. BUT YAY NO TESTS!!!

Her hair is starting to get more and more crazy. It's super long on top and is in her eyes all the time so I have to sweep it across her forehead. My kids always look like old men! Emry had bald spot on top and long around the head. Too funny.

She is such a happy baby now and still had the worst, most highest pitch teradactyl scream you've ever heard. It hurts and im sure she'll break some glass soon! She still doesn't sleep as good as Ems but at least she sleeps now! she loves food and today started to try gold fish. She loved them and didn't choke. She ALMOST has a tooth cutting. I can feel a huge bump but nothing sharp yet so any day on that one. Good thing I'll probably have to stop nursing this next week. Don't think I want to spend the week pumping while we're in Vegas....

She loves cords. No matter what you do she will find cord to yank on and get in her mouth. Its funny but really annoying. I have built a living room fort barricade to keep her in and away from Emry's crumbs and mess and scary dangers like computers.

She loves her daddy so much and asks for him all day long. She gets so happy when he comes home. She likes to hit him in the face to get his nose. It's cute. If she's hungry though, no one will do till mommy gets her. She's very opinionated and lets you know exactly what she wants. She'll scream till she gets more of the food she wants. Very demanding. She loves people and will give anyone smiles, if she likes them.

She loves to keep mom running around, changing her direction away from getting into trouble or brother trampling her. She is trying to pull herself up on things and has started to choose who she wants, crawls to the feet and asks for ups or follows you wherever you go and crys when she can't see you anymore.

I love you baby girl, and I miss when you were a baby, but love that you're growing up into a beautiful personality.

Happy Valentines Day!

Well I've up and done it now. I gave my husband a Heart attack!!!!

Hope he enjoys it! I also made him cookies and homemade chocolates. And splurged a little more and got him some presents and a movie he's really wanted to see that just came out. Breaking dawn.

Now the story.....he tried to wake me up at 5 this morning saying happy valentines day....i mumbled ya ya ya leave me alone....something along those lines. They he tried to kiss me(real kisses) while I was still trying to sleep. I did as he told me to do and stayed asleep. Then i walk downstairs after the kids woke me up and he had a drawing of a man knocking on a door carrying tulips and a note that says I love u and I couldn't live with out you. So sweet. I then play the rest of the day like the day doesn't matter, just another day, I dont care if he works late, I don't care if there's trucks to work on...,..whatever whatever whatever. I start a fight sort of telling him I gave up hopes of everything having a nice holiday because I work hard to do things for him that he doesn't appreciate. Ya I was mean, though that last part is true. So when he gets home in the next hour, he'll get mad cuz the garage door won't open to find his heart attack. Then he'll have to use the front door where he'll find his treats and presents then a big hug from the family. Hope the night goes well!b

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!

XOXO

Birthday and Catch-up Pictures

Well I'd like you all to meet Ian. He is my 4th baby. Devin bought me a new car for my Birthday this year! I absolutely love it and LOVE the great deal we found on it. It has so much space and drives perfect and still gets 35 mpg!!! Almost as good as the civic, but much bigger engine and space in the car! Love it!!!! It's the SE so it has the sports seats that are half leather. I love it because I didn't have to pay 3 grand extra just to get leather seats!!! We searched for a long time for a car and all the used ones were just plan crap and abused. Literally someone had their headlight hanging on with DUCT TAPE!!! Oh there's nothing wrong with it....my butt!!! Anyway it was 5 at night and we were so done with car searching so I gave in and demanded a new car lol, which he would have done from the beginning, I just didn't want to have a big payment. Oh well, we got a great deal, discounts from the dealer and because I graduated this year. So with our down payment, we owe less than we did with my 4 year old civic. How's that for a good deal!!! YAYYYYY

One of my favorite parts is the touch screen. It loads all your contacts for you phone so you can just touch who you want to call. Devin's truck won't even recognize a name if you say it. I hated it.

Emry keeps saying, hey look, mommy's cool car!

Then he says Hey Emry with mommy's cool car lol

Devin also got me my Red Kitchenaid mixer for me, since my Grandma's bit the dust and they wanted way too much to fix that old of a mixer, so I waiting until costco had it with 50 bucks off and got it. YAY! He also made me a cake at 8 at night, however he put in a cup of oil instead of water, and forgot the water all together. It didn't rise and is really thick but we're eating it lol

Emry hanging around

Showing his daddy his present for school because he pooped on the toilet all by himself. Yay for Emry!!!

Emry sure loves his sister

Shell Bells is so beautiful!

One day while working, I was headed back to the freeway from the airport, and I got stuck on the Bridge by this. It took 2o minutes for them to pass and they were totally freaked out by my truck and kept jumping off the sides of the bridge, Yes the bridge over RAILROAD TRACKS!! These animals are dumb lol. But it made for a kodak moment
