Well, Makalyn's deep in the agony of teething.....we've tried a lot of different things-- teething tablets, tylenol, ice-- nothing seems to help her much....she has one tooth through and at least 3 more hot on its trail. And lately, the only way she will sleep is on her tummy with her face planted into her blanket, pillow, whatever she may be sleeping with, and if we move her she wakes right up mad as heck and won't go back to sleep til we let her sleep how she wants......but then it's happy baby time.....

Miranda has her dance recital this Saturday and boy is she excited about it AND she gets to wear make-up....so that's like a happiness explosion for her.....she's so excited that she felt the need to practice her make-up skills while eating Oreos yesterday....
She didn't get in trouble, but by the look she was giving me, she was not too pleased to get caught before she got her mascara on.....which she made sure that I knew that's why "you make me upset mom!"

LOL~

A little song!

On my 7th month birthday
the Tooth Fairy gave to meeeeeee......
ONE BRIGHT WHITE TOOOFFFFEEEEERRRRR!!!!

Yep, that's right!!!
Yesterday was the 9th and Makalyn's first tooth popped through!
You can just see the top of it poking out of her gums,
and she won't let me take a picture of it yet,
but as soon as I can get one snapped, I'll be sure to post it!

Happy Weekend to you all!!

Yucky shots!

Well.....Makalyn is 7 months, and has been sick off and on whenever we have went to get her shots...so...today we finally were able to get her 4 month shots, and in 30 days, have to go get her 6 month ones as well. She actually didn't do to badly, but mommy did! She turned a shade of red that I have never seen on a baby and she cried for a few seconds...enough for a couple tears, poor thing! She ended up with 3 shots and an oral....which ends up being like 8/9 vaccines...augh!
Miranda had an appointment today too, just to check some things, and ended up having to have her blood drawn...now that was an ordeal....she hid under the chair for awhile, and then finally agreed to letting her dad hold her while it was being done while I helped hold her arm....she screamed, she cried, Makalyn cried cause Miranda was crying, it was fun.....not. But in the end, after a couple dramatics of my whole life is over now....a sucker, sticker, and a happy meal saved her world for yet another day :) She is definitely cut out for an award winning acting career :)
But that's our day so far....now the girls are playing hide and seek with each other, so they must be okay!!

Sisterly Fun!

Busy January---

Well, life is almost back to normal after the holidays...
Miranda started up school again today, and will have dance tomorrow...she was off from both for 2 weeks, and while it was nice for the break, it'll do us all some good to get back into a routine.
It seems like January will be pretty darn busy for us too...
*Joe and I have a funeral to attend tomorrow morning (so a big thank you to Jocelyn for picking Miranda up from dance for me!!)
*doctor's appts for both girls on Thursday morning (Makalyn for shots....augh!)
*Miranda has a dance performance on Saturday at a local church as a fundraiser for a fellow dance student who needs a major surgery soon.
*The 17th is Miranda's big winter dance festival (with a dress rehearsal that Friday).
*The weekend after that is Joe's Christmas party for Wells Fargo (which reminds me, I still need to ask gma & pops to watch the girls) on Saturday evening,
*Sunday we have something to go to as well.
*THEN the following weekend, Joe's mom flies in for a visit...she'll be here from Thursday to Sunday...and I'm not sure what all we will be doing then.
*Oh, and we have Pops, Michael's (Miranda's best friend always :) ), and Joe's birthdays all within a week of each other, and I believe Jaclyn's falls in there too, so all within 10 days of each other I'll say.
*WOW! Plus work, school, dance, kids, and anything else you wanna throw in there as well :)

But I am going to try to blog on here and/or at least put up pictures every day to every other day....so far so good....keep your fingers crossed....lol....that's it for now...take care and love from us!

Good Morning!!

Good Morning to you!
