Ages and Stages!! (long post)

I wanted to write somethings that the girls are going through right now in this stage of thier little lives 1 so I can look back and see how innocent and fun they were,  and 2 so when they are grown and asking me advice on there kids I can laugh and tell them they were the exact same way.  No really I want to remember them as they are now, because time goes by so fast and I think that we get so busy in the right now, that we don't sit back and take it all in so we can remember, and I really want to remember the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. 

Megan is in first grade her teacher is Mrs, Manning and she loves her,  she says that she is the best teacher ever and never wants to leave first grade but, that is what she said in Kindergarten about Mrs Bryner.  She loves to do homework.  At the begining of every week Megan is sent home with homework for the week and it is due on Friday well we are suppost to do 1 work sheet front and back a night but Megan insists on doing it all on monday which I love because she just wants to learn so much and I am so glade that she loves homework. All of the other night we do worksheets out of scholar books I have purchased so she still gets homework everynight. She loves to play with Kadence and wants her to do everything with her, she doesn't even really like to go to her friends house unless Kadence wants to go.  Megan is very emotional right now everything makes her mad or she is in tears.  When she gets mad she doesn't really throw a tantrum she just stomps her feet and runs away from me.  Megan loves to help when she wants to.  She loves to do dishes, laundry and her favorite is cleaning bathrooms as long as it is on her schedule.  Megan is an artist she loves to draw and color if we can't find her she is in her room writing letters to us, coloring pictures or drawing a new art piece.  We love Megan so much and she is a blast to be around.   I can't wait to see what she conquors in her life.  She will be amazing at whatever she does.

Kadence well were do we begin with her.  She is in Preschool at "Smarty Pants Preschool"  her teacher is Miss Dani, Kadence loves school and also loves to learn she is reading a little and is picking up on everything so quickly.  She is the loving one of the bunch with a lot of fight.  She loves her little sister and can't get enough of her it is a constant fight of telling her to put Addi down. She wants to help so much also like Megan as long as it is convienant for her.  She loves to dance and show me her "MOVES" as she calls them.  She knows everything just ask her. (ha ha) She is very dramatic and her facial expressions are to die for.  I get a kick out of her everyday either for what she says or how she says it.  She is our TANTRUM thrower, she throws her self on the floor for everything even if I just ask her to pick something up, down she goes with such drama.  She has a lot of energy and loves to play pretty much anything she doesn't have a favorite thing to play it is just whatever she comes up with that day.  She has a big emagination and can come up with quite the stories, I love to listen to them because they seem so real and you really could believe everything that she said if you didn't know what was really going on.  She LOVES her dad and that is an understatment, if he is around she wants to be right with him whether it is outside helping or right in his lap if you see Cory, Kadence isn't far behind.  I can't wait to see what she comes up with next, and where she will go with her imagination and her future. 

Addison is 16 months and a goer.  She is always on the move and doesn't stop until she is in her bed sleeping which I don't even think she really stops in there.  i have never seen someone wake up as happy as she does even if she only sleeps for 20 min shes happy.  She is starting to say a couple of words not a lot bit still it is some.  She loves to play with her sisters and wants to be with them all the time.  If she isn't occupied with the other girls she is probably being held by me.  She always wants me to carry her and just be with her.  She will run in front of me put her hands on my legs and make me stop walking so I will pick her up.  She loves the bath and has figured out if she puts her face in the water she can blow bubbles.  She waves to everyone, she loves to say HI and BYE.  She loves her binkie but she only gets it when she goes to bed so when we say " Lets go Night Night"  she gets the biggest grin waves to everyone around her and runs as fast as she can toward her room.  I love it, it is hilariuos.  She doesn't sleep very good at night and only takes one nap a day but she is still happy and that is all that matters.  Addi is a climber she loves to climb on the kitchen table so we are always having to watch her.  She will probably be the first with a broken bone.  She is the happiest baby I love having her around she always makes it a little brighter no matter what is going on in the day. 

Up date on Addi's hives.

Well it has been very interesting. I ended up going to instacare Friday because none of the medicine was helping and my doctor of course wasn't in his office on Friday. The Dr. at instacare gave me a steroid and told me if she gets a fever then I need to take her to the ER so we went home started the steroid at about 6:30 Friday night she got a fever, so we ended up at the ER. We all know how the ER is it totally sucks. It was 2 hours and a PA (physicians assistant) came into see her he said well I have no idea what it is, so he gave me an order for an epie pen in case she stops breathing, just what every mom wants to hear and told me to have an allergist see her on Monday. Not loving all of this well today she looks so much better the hives are gone and she is back to her normal self. It was the saddest things I think I have ever seen on any of my kids, so here are a couple more pictures and my reason for going to instacare. I think the we have found the culprit for this horrible thing. I was given Gerber Daisies for my birthday on Tuesday from my WONDERFUL husband and BEAUTIFUL daughters and this all started Wednesday night. Well I guess I am hoping that is the reason and we won't have to deal with this again. It is way to said to see.

Addi has hives?

Today Addi woke up from a nap and was covered in what I would say are great big welts, all over her body. I gave her some benadryl and they looked a little better then she went down for an afternoon nap and got up with her face, legs, back, belly pretty much everywhere was covered with these red welts so we went into the Dr. and he said yup looks like hives to me. Hives? from what I haven't changed anything at all. It is so sad she is finally realized that they itch, so she keeps rubbing them and I can't do anything for it. The pictures don't give it justice but they really are so bad, red, swollen and they just keep spreading. Hopefully they are gone by tomarrow or she gets to take a steroid for them great fun. I hate when kids are sick or have something like this you can't really do anything for them but wait it out. Poor little Addi I swear she gets everything.

**We love TinKerBell**

Kadence decided she wanted a Tinkerbell Party my first thought was isn't she getting to old to have a Tinkerbell party and now I am thinking I hope she wants a Tinkerbell party for every birthday so maybe that way she will stay little and innocent forever. She had so much fun first on the 9th she started preschool and because her birthday was the next day we took treats and of course it was a Tinkerbell cupcake cake.

Kadence on her first day of Preschool

The Tinkerbell Cupcake Cake.

So for her party we had everything Tinkerbell the cake, plates streamers you name it, it was Tinkerbell even most of her presents she was so excited she could hardly stand it. It was a lot of fun and like I said I hope she always loves Tinkerbell. She is so much like her cute and sweet with a little spunk in her.

Happy Birthday Kadence (BUG)

Happy Birthday Kadence. I can't believe you are 5. You are the sweetest little thing ever you have so much energy and want to make everyone happy. You love your daddy so much that you can't hardley leave his side when he's around. You want to be the second mommy and are so helpful with Addi and everything around the house. We love having you in our family you are the best sister and daughter we love you very much.

Little kids just crack me up!!!

Over the weekend we were in Minersville visiting Cory's parents and just hanging out. We had just finished lunch when Kadence (4 years old) put her hands up and showed me some seeds and said "Mom can I plant these seeds."
I said "No, because you don't know what they will grow so we won't know how to take care of them while they are growing."
Kadence " Yes huh they'll grow sandwiches!"
me "What? How?"
Kadence "Well the seeds come off of my sandwich bun, so that's what they will grow."
We had Arbys so the seeds where sesame seeds. I just love kids and the smart things they say and how much they learn from just watching and listening. I love you kadence don't ever change you are the funnest kid to have around.

So true are these statements!!!

I stole these from my friend Emily Chapman, thanks Em

Anger and Love have no limits;

choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely life.....

Things are to be used and people are to be loved,

but the problem in today's world

is people are used and things are loved...

During the day, be careful to keep this thought in mind:

Things are to be used, but People are to be loved ...

Be yourself....

This is the only day we HAVE.

Have a nice day..Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits they become character;

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
