a little of this and that

Ridge is getting so Big! he's such a good baby, (minus the ear infection last week, not fun for either of us)

he only cries if he can't see everyone! he gets mad if he's laying on the floor and nobody is around. he doesn't like to be left alone. little social butterfly already! he doesn't even care if he's being held, just wants someone to talk to.

jared stopped by after a fire the other night and dax had to go put on his shirt jared gave him. he loves that jared is a firefighter!

"grandma's new toy!" this ball is so fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAX!

our little cowboy is 6! i can't believe he's six! he feels a little jipped this birthday since i had to move his birthday party...(cause of the flu) and his birthday present hasn't got here yet. he's been a really good sport considering the past week has been so crappy. i'll post pics later of his birthday and his longhorn cake:)

spring fever!

can spring come any faster?! is anyone else sick of sick kids! it hasn't been a very fun 2 weeks at our house. we had the flu and it was terrible. any of you who have had it this year know. it was horrible. lucky me i had it along side mastitis which is always a treat! then i noticed last week that dax had a bunch of dried blood in his ear. i wished i woud've seen it since i saw my dr. twice last week! i was worried about it and not quite sure what it was from he hasn't complained about his ear at all. he's had so many ear infections from the time he was little that he learned to live with the pain. and we even put tubes in last year, and took out tonsils and adnoids that we damaged because of all his previous infections. but this time his EAR DRUM RUPTURED!!! how painful the poor kid. my dr. said he doesn't think he's seen one that bad in a child. so we put him on some antibiotic to kill the existing infection and we'll check him out in about a week or so and see if we should put the tube back in. i feel so bad for him. we know all too well in our family how ears affect your body with my brother in law eric and his manears. i hope that these problems don't continue he just can't catch a break!

is my little kembrie really 2!!!!

first of all thanks to my awesome friend patrice for taking these cute pictures for me! love you!

my little kembrie is 2! ah! where does the time go?! we love our kembrie, she is such a funny kid! she keeps us laughing all day long. she's silly and knows she's funny so she'll keep doing things just to get a rise out of us. she's such a helpful girl since she was less than 18 months old she would bring her plate over when she finished dinner and put it in the dishwasher! she's a sweetheart. kembrie is also very helpful with ridge(have to say i was a little nervous) but she's a natural little mommy and even likes to feed her own babies (hilarious she feeds her doll from her belly button and pulls her shirt up just like mom!) she reminds me of shelley:) she she loves grandpa white and likes to make him laugh and she knows right where grandpa taylor's candy drawer is, and she's already got his popcorn cravings! she loves to copy tysie and is always doing crazy dance moves to copy her sister, she has to have her own dance outfits to wear on the days tysie goes to dance. she loves the school bus and helps me watch out my window for dax to get on and off the bus each day, she gets so excited to see him when he gets home. she loves shoes, oh my goodness she loves shoes! she would play with them all day if i could tolerate it! her latest thing is she thinks she wants to be potty trained so we'll see how that goes!

happy birthday kembrie!

snow days

there hasn't beent too many snow days this year, weird winter! but we tried to enjoy the few warmer snow days that we had. this snowman was awesome! thanks to my dad and braden for helping us build this giant!

it took a ladder to get anything up on it!

we did a little sledding behind the 4 wheeler

built a "girly" snowman
slid down our hill in the front yard..

kembrie spends most of her snow days eating and licking snow.....we just have to be careful of what snow she's eating!

love these silly kids!

Ridge...

is life just getting ahead of me or what...i'm scanning through my computer to find pictures of ridge (since i have no camera anymore...it broke) and i don't have hardly any! so i found a few of our cute little guy, he's growing up so fast! he's such a good little baby, and so sweet we just love him! he loves to sleep with his hands over his eyes, most of the time when he's asleep his hands are covering his face which is funny because every ultrasound i had when i was pregnant he was the same way! so cute. he LOVES dax and smiles whenever he's around and he loves his sisters to sing to him. kembrie is getting quite good at "the monkey swinging in the tree" and he just loves it. so here's just a few pictures of Ridge...
