Let the packing begin

Me and my "helper" packed up 2 cabinets!!!  I have so much to do!!!

Madison is 4 months!!!

Sweet sweet girl!  We just love her to pieces!  She is just such a good baby!  The only time we hear her cry is if her diaper is wet or she is hungry!  She is so even tempered!  She has mastered rolling over from her tummy to her back and now is working on flipping over from her back to her tummy!  She has done it a handful of times!!

She has started grabbing at things in front of her!  Of course anything and everything goes straight to her mouth!  She is constantly chewing on her hands!  

I think she is going through a growth spurt right now!  Her bottles are now 5-6 ounces every 3-4 hours!  She has been waking up 1-2 times a night to eat which is not like her!  

A typical day for her starts at 6:30.  I get her up and changed for the day and we head to the babysitters!  She will eat 3 bottles while she is there and I pick her up about 4.  We will come home and do tummy time or play in her exersaucer for a little while!  She has started playing with all the toys on it and spins herself around in it!  She will get a bottle around 5 and take a little nap!  I'm able to fix Kenzie something to eat and feed her before she wakes up!  

Bath time is after dinner!  She still loves her bath!  She kicks and splashes and squeals the whole time!  After bath I get her swaddled up and she gets her last bottle and I carry her to bed about 8:15'ish!  She likes to rub her face up against the minky part of her bumpers!  I have started putting a blankie near her face and she seems to like that!  She's following in her sisters footsteps!

She normally just wakes up one time a night around 2 or 3!  Sometimes I get lucky and she sleeps all night but not often!! 

 She is such a joy and makes our family so happy!!  Her sweet little smile melts my heart and I love hearing her little giggle when you touch under her chin!!  

Gallbladder is gone

I have been dealing with gall bladder issues since Madi was about 2 weeks old. The attacks keep me up all night and are so painful!  I've had many tests done (sono, scope, MRI, and bloodwork) that all pointed to stones!  After being up ALL night again, I made an appointment with a surgeon my friend works for yesterday at 3:30 and he recommended getting it out ASAP.  The next thing I know, I am following him to the surgery center!  I was so nervous, more about the IV than anything! I hate those suckers!  I woke up in no pain and have 4 little incisions to keep my csection scar company!!  I think this officially put my bikini days to rest!  Haha. We got home about 9 and I went strait to bed!  My mom and dad got the girls for me while Scotty stayed with me!  Mom was so sweet to stay the night and Scotty got up with Madi in the middle of the night!  I may need to start adding him into the night time feeding rotation!  Today I am pretty sore getting up or down but feel ok when I'm up walking around!  I can't lift anything for a few days, not even the baby, so my saint of a mother is staying with me!  My plan is to stay in bed all weekend and rest!!

Pictures and breaking in the new house

I'm wore out!! I feel like my plate is spilling over!!  I have so many things that need to get done and so many thoughts and ideas running through my mind!!  

Last night Korie and I met my neighbor to get pictures made of the kids together!

This is all we got of them together!  Neither one would hold Madi, nor look at the camera!  I did get some really cute ones of the girls!

And we got one group picture!!  The kids look so excited!

Today I picked Kenzie up and we went and got a snowcone!

It's nice to get some alone time with her!! We picked up Madi and raced home to clean the house for 2 showings!! I went ahead and gave Kenzie her bath early because I knew we wouldn't be home until late! As I was finishing they both rescheduled to tomorrow.....really?  Scotty picked us up and we went to the new house and met our relator there!  Kenzie needed to potty right when we got there!  I knew there wasn't any toilet paper but a little "drip dry" never hurt nobody!!  Imagine the suprise on my face when she got so excited that she was POOPING on the potty!!  Of course Scotty's truck has NOTHING in it!  I had to sacrifice Madi's bib that she was wearing!  Thank god the water was on and we could flush!!  Oh potty training, you win again!!!  

Officially potty trained!

It has been almost 2 weeks since Kenzie has worn a diaper! I'm officially calling her potty trained!  She wears big girl panties all day and a pull up for naps and bed, but she always wakes up dry and potties right away in the big potty!!  I'm so proud of her!  Tonight we had a showing on the house, so we decided to take her to Chuckee Cheese to celebrate her being such a big girl!

We had so much fun!!  We played games and ate pizza and had fun being together!!!

Family pictures

I know my family is cute, but I did not fully know how good looking we really were until I saw these pictures!  I am so in love!!

There are so many good ones to choose from!!!

Whirlwind week

We have been busy little bees lately!  Last week was all about keeping the house clean and ready for showings!!! We had a few showings, one of which showed up without any notice!  I answered the door half dressed, thinking it was Korie, to find an agent and couple coming to look at the house!  They were super nice and said we could stay but it was so akward!!  Friday my neighbor took some pictures of the girls!!

Saturday we packed up and headed out so the house was vacant for showings!  We stopped for Starbucks,

And then went and fed the duckies!  Kenzie had a blast!  If only she were a little quieter she may have actually been able to come close to the ducks!  That girls is so loud!!  They ran off scared for their lives!

Madi goose just smiled the whole time!!

Such sweet girls!  We headed to Bebe's house and went shopping!  I got some really cute stuff for the new house, fingers crossed that we get it!!  The relator called and said she had someone that really wanted to look at the house but didn't have anyone to show it, so I volunteered to show it to him, assuming he wasn't a crazy person!!  I totally sold him on the house and he called his relator and told her he wanted to move forward!!!  Yay!!

Sunday morning I got out and ran some errands and then we hung out and played all day!  Kenzie has been playing restaraunt with us and will cook us food and feed us!  The little conversations she has are so adorable!

We headed out for a late lunch after naps!  I started to feel bad and figured it was just me being dehydrated!  I got some water and ate and felt better! When we headed home I felt bad again and just wanted to crawl in bed!

We got a call from the relator who said the guy that loves our house wanted to come back with his relator and see the house again! SERIOUSLY?  We parked and waited across the street for an hour while he was in there!  I ended up getting "sick" and actually felt better!  Not sure what all that was about! Thank goodness I had a potty in the back of my car because Kenzie peed twice while we were waiting!  We finally got to come home and did a mad dash with baths and off to bed we went!  Today we got the call that we got a contract on our house!  Our relator is still waiting on the specifics of the contract but did know that it was full asking price!!!  AWESOME!!! The girls were so cute when we got home today!  Kenzie wanted to hold Madi all afternoon!

Madi wants to sit up so bad!  She will always pull herself up when she is laying down!  She is getting pretty good at sitting by herself!

She will only stay up for a second and then topples over but she's getting there!!!  We got another call from our relator today that said we got another offer on the house!  We will have the specifics in the morning and then can pick which one is better!!
