crochet for cancer

crochet for cancer! this is my niece kaidan, she has battled leukemia for the past couple years and has been very inspiring for all of us. she is such a strong girl and has been through more than any child should have! one of kaidan's aunts has started a blog to raise money for cancer research.

many of you have probably seen the cute headwraps that are really popular right now. Kaicee is awesome and made these cute ones for my girls! we loooove them! she even put the flowers on buttons so i can change the flowers. they keep their ears warm as well as look sooo cute! if you'd like to purchase one go to http://www.crochetforcancer.blogspot.com/

(not kembrie's cutest picture! but they were so uncooperative!)

Tysie Tonsillectomy!

all done! tysie had a tonsillectomy yesterday and we're home! yay! she did so good. it went so much better than i though it would. she is such a dramatic child that i was expecting alot of little girl drama. she was such a good sport! they did it at mckay dee and made us stay for a while, originally we thought it would be 24 hours, the kids that are under the age of 3 they like to make them stay. but she was doing so good that we got to take her home last night. i honestly don't think she knows what happend. she just loves getting the attention, watching movies and oh yes...eating ICE CREAM! check out the chocolate mustache! what a goof! we were lucky to have such an awesome nurse while we were there too, she was so great! she even brought tysie a cute blanket before we left. she was awesome. thanks to everyone who came to see her (and me) and for all your support. we have such a great family! and thanks to my mom for keeping dax and kembrie:)

she was so tired.

all her prizes! jared brought her m & m's that she is saving for later, and grandma taylor brought her the darling bucket of playdough, my little pony and lip gloss, and a princess.

eating a popsicle. (she was mad they didn't have pink!)

waiting to go into surgery. she was so good! the nurse told her she was playing dress up so she loved putting on the gown and socks!

before she went under. she's so silly and it was 6 :30 in the morning!

OuR BiG... LiTle GiRL

kembrie is growing sooo fast! she's walking and she's EVERYWHERE! i still can't get any pic's to post...so some to come later. she took her first few steps right before christmas and i guess took a break, but she's in full walking mode now. (which means she's in more trouble too:) i can't believe she's almost one! it goes by way too fast!

well since i've screwed up my computer i can't retrieve all my pictures. so i'm posting only the last bit of christmas since that's all i can find! christmas was so great! my kids were so excited this year and really had things they wanted..

dax got a leapster, a tag reading system, some books, a basketball, lots of trio blocks, a traffic light, a superman cape, some knights, lincoln logs, and much more

tysie got a tag jr., a pink table with pink chairs! some food, cupcakes! a fancy nancy book, a supergirl cape, a cowgirl outfit and a cowgirl hat that lights up, alot of cups, plates, silverware,picinic stuff...

kembrie got a pink table (shared) a shopping cart, a baby, fisherprice play table, a seensay, some shape blocks....

so needless to say we should be busy for quite a while! i have to say i was amazed by the leapfrog toys we got. if you haven't used or seen the tag or tag jr. you should! i love them as much as my kids do. they're awesome! here's just a few pic's. i wish i could get the rest off my darn computer!

i looove this cupcake set by step 2! (it was a must have since i make cupcakes like crazy!)
