Sibling Rivalry Already

I haven't posted for a year or so, so I'm still trying to figure this thing out. Sorry it is a mess.

We found out on the 16th that we are having a little boy. Kaycee is very excited. She wanted a brother from the beginning. We're excited to have our little girl and boy!

The two have been at it already. Kaycee will be sitting on my lap and will rock forwards and backwards, which hits my stomach, and he will either hit or kick. It is the funniest feeling. We were sitting in sacrament and Kaycee kept rocking and he would kick and I got to the point that I had to get up and go our in the hall. It was funny but it got on my nerves pretty quick. Wow, what to look forward to I guess.

We've bought a few things already, well I have, and Kaycee loves to get them out and play with "her babies" toys/clothes. She is a silly kid.

On to Kaycee; she has been doing great with potty training. I just put a stop to any diapers, even going out on the town and she has only had 3 accidents in the past few weeks. She is such a big girl. I knew she could do it I was just being lazy I think, more than she was. To keep things new she now gets stickers for going potty, each sticker is either worth a penny or five cents depending on which one she does. We started with 10 cents and 25 cents but it got pretty expensive. She doesn't care how much it is, she just loves the stickers and the MONEY!!!

The year 2008!

The year has slipped by without adding to our Blog. Kaycee is already 2 1/2. She is back into the routine of using the potty, now that we are home for a little while. She wanted to use the potty at 18 months but with all of the traveling she lost interest. She knows how, she just preffered diapers and would ask for them. Now with the break over and a baby on the way mom said no to diapers and being lazy, and Kaycee picked out new panties. She has done great!!!

She is very excited to have a sibling on the way. She says it is going to be a boy; we find out tomorrow, hopefully! Kaycee was very shy with the ultrasound, we hope this one is not as shy. We are excited to find out. I like to plan ahead. Surprises are good but planning helps me stay calm.

Kaycee was able to hear the baby's heart beat on Friday and was very excited. Now she realizes that there really is a baby in mommy's belly. She has to tell everyone she meets.

School is back in session and Isaac and I are very busy. With our busy schedules we find plenty of time to play with Kaycee. She is so much fun! She is doing very well with her ABC's (which she calls her EFG's) and counting. I have to help her start with 1 or she can't do it for some reason. She starts with 2, 5 then goes 7, 8, 9, 10. Once I start her with 1 she gets it straight.

I will keep everyone updated on the news tomorrow!!!

New Years 2008

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Happy New Year!

We have had such a fun break this year. We had a great Christmas and then we were able to spend New Years in Elk Ridge with my family. Brandon, Katy, and the kids (Alexis, Domenic, and Skyler), and Amy and Brandon stayed a few days with all of us too. It was a blast. We opened more gifts, partied and were VERY tired. It was a fun time.

Kaycee had such a good time with her cousins. She doesn't get to see them that much so when they are together they make messes, get crazy and make up for lost time.

Domenic said the funnies thing to me the other day...."Kaycee is sometimes bad." I laughed and said "yeah, you all are sometimes why?" He then told me how she pushed him, which she got in trouble for. Anyway, I told him that she may look his age but she is only two and he needs to tell her not to push and that it is bad. He just looked at me and said "yeah" and walked away. I guess you had to be there. I thought it was hillarious. I think it is hard for the little ones to understand that there is a 2 year age difference. Kaycee thinks Domenic should act like her, age 2 1/2 and he thinks she should act like him, 4 1/2. She is just a big kid. I think there is barely, if that an inch difference in their height.

Christmas 2007

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Now that I've kind of figured this out I have gone back through and updated with news and pictures.

We went to Utah this winter break and had a blast. We spent the first week in Castle Dale with Isaac's family and had Christmas with them. Kaycee thought it was so fun to leave Santa a treat. She picked a cookie, milk, AND a sucker! What a treat. The next morning she laughed and laughed that Santa ate the treat she left him. To this day she is still talking about it.

Christmas morning was such a blast to watch her go crazy openings gifts. They say that the first year is a memorable one but I think that the third time in the charm. This age is so much fun! Well, I guess I can't really judge it because her second Christmas she had fun but she was very ill, RSV. I loved that she liked Santa this year though.
