Hmmmm A Decision

SO after much thought, I have decided to quit using "code" names on my blog. I originally did this to protect our families privacy from certain persons that I didn't want searching for us. BUT I've come to the conclusion that I have nothing to hide. God has blesses me with my amazing husband Chris, my beautiful daughters, Cydney, Lilly and Bella and I no longer feel that I need to hide who WE are because of other people. SO from here on Hubby, Sweet Pea, Moo and Baby Girl will be names of the past :)

Disney's Cinderella Kids

June 11th Cydney had her Cinderella Play at school! She has been working very hard every Tuesday after school for this play for a good portion of the school year. She was determined to try out for the role of "Gus Gus" and sadly she didn't get the part (went to the older kids) she was still cast as a mouse and had a great time! She is quite the little actress and we are looking at getting her into some sort of a children's theatre program! Here are the pictures from the night!

Happy Birthday to my Moo!

My Sweet Lilly turned 4 last weekend on January 17th! I can't believe how big she is already. She has blessed our lives so much with her awesome personality. She wanted to go bowling with a couple of her friends, so that's what we did! Here are some pictures from her day!

Performances!

The girls were in our annual Christmas play at church again this year. The "Christmas County Spelling Bee" Sweet Pea had a main role and Solo and Moo was a cheerleader! They did exceptional and I think I have a couple star's on my hands! Here are a few pictures!

Its been a while!

Wow! It's amazing how time flies when you have a newborn!!! Needless to say things have been a little crazy around our house lately!

Baby girl is now 2 weeks and 4 days old! She had her 2 week checkup on Wednesday and weighed in at 7lbs 13oz! She gained a whole pound in one week!! She's my little piggy! Everything else was great except her cord STILL hadn't fallen off.. it was beginning to stink but I'm proud to report that as of about an hour ago she now has a Belly Button! Yay!! She has become a bit colicky the past week. She just SCREAMS for no reason at all for a few hours when we're wanting to go to bed. Usually starts about 10pm and can last a few hours. I've tried all the "home remedies"... Swaddling... Gas Drops... Gripe Water... but they have all been no help. :( I feel so helpless! Moo and Sweet Pea never had it this bad! Needless to say it's making mommy VERY tired!

I'm healing pretty well! My steri strips came off Tuesday and I barely have a scar! Now to get rid of this extra skin... ;) Slowly but surely! I can't start exercising for another 6 more weeks. I'm still in pain but everyday gets better. I can def tell when I overdo it. Which is probably more often than not.

The Big Sisters went to their Grandma's this past week since Sweet Pea is "off track" for the month of December. This was a nice break for Mommy and also allowed me to get some Christmas shopping done! (aka overdoing it!) Hubby and I enjoyed some nice alone time with Baby Girl without the "Vultures" hovering! (Moo and Sweet Pea)

We have a busy couple of weeks coming up that include the Girls Christmas program on Dec 20/21 at church! Sweet Pea has a lead role and solo! They are both so excited for this! Sweet Pea also has her school Choir Christmas program on the 18th!

Here is a recent picture of Baby Girl passed out in her swing

Last weekend was also "Cunkle Joe's" wedding! The Girls were flower girls and Hubby was a groomsmen. The wedding was down in Tulare since Auntie Kk is from Bakersfield. So this was baby girls first "road trip", time in a hotel, and wedding all in one! It was long a drive that involved a nail in our tire and an hour at a tire shop in Fresno. But the wedding was gorgeous... the girls did great... and Baby Girl was an angel! And we're so happy to have welcomed Auntie Kk into our family!!! Now they need to hurry up and move closer to us!! Here are some pictures from the event!
