<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Our sweet baby girl finally made her appearance November 13th, 2012 at 12:32pm! She weighed 7lbs 1oz and was 19in. This pregnancy felt like the longest one I've been through by far. Being pregnant with a 4 and 2 year old at home was not easy. Not only was I tired a lot, but for some reason I was so much more emotional this time around. Towards the end I started feeling very anxious to meet Miss Mylee like I felt with Peyton and Jax, but this time I felt like I was missing her and I hadn't even met her yet. Weird right? The Dr. decided to induce me and scheduled everything for the 12th of November, but the birth center ended up being really busy that day so I went in on the 13th at 6am. They started pitocin at 7, my Dr. broke my water at about 8:30 and by 9:30 I was getting my epidural. My contractions were getting stronger and they were about 3-5 minutes apart so by then I was ready for it. The guy putting it in though kept hitting a nerve in my back that shot a sharp pain through the right side of my body. He had to start over once because where he tried the first time wasn't going to work. I was freaking out in my mind thinking that this guy was going to paralyze me because the sharp pain hurt soo bad and he kept hitting that nerve. It didn't help when I looked up at Derek who was sitting in front of me watching everything and seeing the worried look on his face. It took about 45min to an hour to get it in. Afterward I kept waiting through every contraction for the pain to stop, but the epidural didn't seem to be working and I told my nurse(who had already hit the button for the extra boost twice) that I wanted to lie to her and say they were better because I didn't want that guy to come back and have to do it all over again. She ended up calling him in and he just up'd the dose straight into my back and about 5 minutes later I was completely numb from the waist down. My mother in law showed up about that time and since I was only at 4cm Derek decided he was going to get something to eat from the cafeteria. While he was gone the nurse came in to check me and told me that I was at a 6! We were excited because that was progress! Then not even 5 minutes later she showed back up and told me that my baby's heart rate was going a little haywire so she wanted to reposition me and when she went to turn my body she saw a little blood and decided to check me again. I was at a 9 and the baby was coming! She started frantically getting everything ready and calling for the Dr. and nursery staff. Derek came into the room and his mom told him that I was at a 9. He flipped out because he was just coming back to get money for a soda thinking it was still gonna be a while! The Dr. came in with a student who was observing her. I was having a little anxiety attack and crying to my doctor, telling her that I was so worried I wouldn't be able to push because I couldn't feel anything. The nurse told me to just pretend to push. I tried and they started telling me what a good job I was doing which made me start laughing because I knew I wasn't doing anything at all. Apparently my laughing was making her come out so they told me to keep laughing. I asked the doctor if she ever had anyone laugh out their baby and she admitted it had only happened once in her whole career. The student looked shocked like she expected to see a full blown delivery with screaming and pain. Instead everyone in that room was laughing. Finally with one more laugh she was out and in my arms. I felt like since I was numb I was able to focus all of my attention on this precious angel they just handed me instead of everything the Dr. was doing. It was this second in time that I will never forget. She was screaming the loudest I've ever heard a newborn cry and Derek was standing to my right telling me the exact thought that had just crossed my mind... that she looked like Peyton.</span></div>

No matter how many times I've gone through it having a baby has been the most amazing experience every time. I feel so blessed to have had three healthy pregnancies, deliveries and babies. There are so many stories out there of people less fortunate and although I feel I don't deserve it I'm so grateful for what I have been given. </div>

Since we've been home our family has adjusted really well to having a baby. Jax took it a little rough at first, but seems to be used to it by now. Mylee hated her first bath until she put her feet right under the faucet and she loved the water running over them.</div>

Mylee is 1 month old already and is so funny. She smiles all the time now and talks to us only when everything is quiet and your full attention is on her. I'm pretty sure she has red hair which surprised me because Peyton and Jax are both blonde. I love it though and I'm excited to have her in my life, to see her grow and to be able to experience everything with her that the future has to offer.</div>

Another little piece of Heaven entered the world September 23, 2012. She weighed 3lbs 13oz and was 17.3in long. Tiny right? That's because she came 8 weeks early. My sister had been feeling off her whole pregnancy and by almost month 7 she had a talk with her Dr. who decided it would be best to run some more blood work. When it came back the Dr. sent her to the hospital for more because her counts were definitely off. She went in and they decided to give her some steroid shots to help the baby's lungs develop faster because by the numbers she was producing they could tell something was up and the baby would more than likely have to be taken out early. Then they sent her home,but she ended up going back a few days later and they admitted her. Damon was down south harvesting pistachios and waiting for news to see what he should do so my niece Kinsley came to stay with us. They determined that Audrea had something called HELLP Syndrome which is kind of like preeclampsia, but way worse and way more serious. Damon came home for a couple days to make sure she was ok and the doctors said they wanted to keep her in the hospital until after the baby was born. They were going to push her as long as she could without it getting too scary before delivering the baby by csection. Damon went back down south to keep working. September is their busiest month and he couldn't leave his brother there alone to deal with everything so he kept his phone close and waited to hear how things were going day by day. Meanwhile Kinsley was having a blast at our house. We tried our best to keep her distracted from thinking where mom and dad were and she did really well. There were times though when things would slow down and you could tell she was a little homesick, but for the most part she was a happy camper!</div>

Between my sisters and I Kinsley was able to go see mommy at the hospital a few times before the baby was born. I know this helped Audrea so much because I'm sure it was hard to be away from her for that long. She was in the hospital for about a week and her counts kept getting worse. Everyone was concerned. Finally they decided it was time. Damon came back and they went in for the csection.</div>

It was a complete relief when Damon came and gave us the news that things went as good as could be expected and that the NICU was taking good care of the baby and getting her situated and stabilized. We got to go in and see her that night and you could tell she was trying her hardest to breathe even with the help from the tube in her nose. She looked great for being so early and Audrea felt so much better. Even though she just had a csection you could tell her body was already recovering.</div>

Damon was all over between checking on baby and mommy. He did such a great job! They kept Audrea a few days before sending her home without Harlow. I know she was happy about being able to come home and be with Kinsley, but I also know that leaving the hospital without the baby that you were carrying in your belly for all that time is such a hard thing to do. </div>

I was able to leave the kids with Derek and go with Audrea to see her a couple times. She was making progress and when they took her off the machine that helped her breathe everyone was so excited. She was still getting fed through a tube in her nose, but she was doing great!</div>

I also need to add that I do believe in the bond between mother and baby, but I was able to witness first hand the importance of this tiny little girl hearing my sister's voice and being held by her. You could tell how comfortable Harlow seemed when she was snuggled up with her mom. I know that Audrea being there for her everyday helped her more than anyone will ever understand.</div>

It's been over a month and a half since she was born and now she seems just like a healthy baby that could have been born yesterday! During the last two months there was a lot of emotions going on. The only thing I could think of to tell my sister in her dark moments was that soon this will all be something we got through and she would eventually have a healthy baby home and be able to start their life together as a family. That all this was going to be a memory that she would be able to look back on and say, "I'm glad that's over with!" Finally I think we've reached that point in time! I'm so proud of my sister and her family and the way they pulled through. I know there were melt downs and tears, but for the most part my sister was so strong and held it together very well. She is such a compassionate caring person that both of her daughters are lucky to call her mom. I'm very blessed to be a part of such a great family and to be able to watch them grow! I can't wait to see what the future has in store for them!</div>

They loved playing in the sand and running from the waves. Jax spent a lot of time carrying this bucket around with him and eventually set it down only long enough for a wave to come up and drag it into the ocean. The rest of the day he was whimpering, "bucket..." :( He was so sad that it got swallowed up. Daddy told him the fishies had a new toy to play with. To this day if I talk about the ocean he whines and says, "bucket" lol.</div>

For some reason age isn't really something that matters to me right now. I can't even remember my own. I went through the whole year thinking I was already 27, but apparently that's what I turned yesterday! On Monday Audrea brought over cupcakes and a card. It was so nice. Peyton was silly running up to me with her chocolate face yelling "Happy birthday!" and after audge and kinsley left she told me it was a great party :). On my actual birthday Derek surprised me by setting it up to where Audrea watched our kids while he took me to pick out a new phone. I broke down and decided to follow the crowds with an iPhone. It's actually pretty great. Afterwards he treated me to lunch and then we went to pick up the kids and were able to spend some time with Audge, Janeane, kinsley, and Lauren. It was a great day! :) I had a lot of fun! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxAGXeoST5gUq4h9rGKnSMP6bFCClZ1Ok0q5uDiWS38fi-X3Dish9Or6TmAESiWqBjz1i3I5YOjBWDXkIfRcEE54jyQb2abv3O0xgBB2-OpIg32e3wUMeXrd5CnrMRa7jjw3oApdYW8oxY/s640/blogger-image--840874505.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxAGXeoST5gUq4h9rGKnSMP6bFCClZ1Ok0q5uDiWS38fi-X3Dish9Or6TmAESiWqBjz1i3I5YOjBWDXkIfRcEE54jyQb2abv3O0xgBB2-OpIg32e3wUMeXrd5CnrMRa7jjw3oApdYW8oxY/s640/blogger-image--840874505.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIWoexFK9MwrKkytdHiSwYHBkC_JlKpwwkDSCrqeXMNFgaqsHdBzR8iJ1mA7IPLmUNIVYca65Z01KiYy554Oc_8u-6UTG8ESGNbr_M8ILJkOdCKZqAzOCZfCkdkVYmWplYYHRgVgs2v3FS/s640/blogger-image--1767254689.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIWoexFK9MwrKkytdHiSwYHBkC_JlKpwwkDSCrqeXMNFgaqsHdBzR8iJ1mA7IPLmUNIVYca65Z01KiYy554Oc_8u-6UTG8ESGNbr_M8ILJkOdCKZqAzOCZfCkdkVYmWplYYHRgVgs2v3FS/s640/blogger-image--1767254689.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgQR3r5K_OyF_EvQUzABtkEuSNaen8MDN5zKEHHkwe_MEe_R2F7Tw21jE3c-tDVegGHWg87F7tptPF3rwdcmaO28wKqezC524v2JTMnegF2QsXZpotTEVgozpLe7wdx5wiYBH9PhGBwAy/s640/blogger-image-2030209951.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgQR3r5K_OyF_EvQUzABtkEuSNaen8MDN5zKEHHkwe_MEe_R2F7Tw21jE3c-tDVegGHWg87F7tptPF3rwdcmaO28wKqezC524v2JTMnegF2QsXZpotTEVgozpLe7wdx5wiYBH9PhGBwAy/s640/blogger-image-2030209951.jpg" /></a></div>Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180470222889987514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441545245505595919.post-51551811192558841432012-07-15T17:27:00.001-07:002012-07-15T17:27:47.525-07:00This summer so far...<br />

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think this is the first year that both of our kids enjoyed the fireworks.

I feel like my kids are at a point where they are way more independent than before and now we have to start over with another one... yikes! That's my biggest concern is that I'm used to the kids occupying themselves so I'm going to have a hard time adjusting to another newborn. I know I will, but I also know it won't be a walk in the park. It will definitely be worth it though :)</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speaking of... we had our five month appointment on July 6th. Going into the ultrasound I had mixed emotions. To be honest I was 99% sure we were going to have another boy and I didn't even want the ultrasound because I wanted a girl so bad that I didn't want to know it was a boy. I know that sounds awful. I would have been happy with a boy, but Derek and I are talking about this being our last baby and I really wanted a girl, mostly for Peyton. If you follow my blog you know how much I love my sisters and that they are my best friends so of course I would want Peyton to have a sister. I know she has girl cousins that she will be close to, but it's not the same. Every girl should have a sister. During the ultrasound I was feeling guilty because I knew when she said it was a boy I would have that tiny bit of sadness, even with all the happiness of having a healthy baby and another son like my handsome little man Jax. I know this makes me sound really picky and ungrateful. That's why I felt guilty, but I am also pretty sure that anyone who has had their heart set on one or the other and doesn't get it has this feeling. To be fair when I found out Peyton was a girl I felt a little sad because I wanted a boy first. The ultrasound tech has done all of my ultrasounds so she remembered we had a girl and a boy. She asked me how old Peyton was now and then asked if she had a preference. I told her Peyton has been saying for so long that she wanted our baby to be a girl. The ultrasound tech then told me that Peyton would be happy to know that she's getting a sister! I was so shocked! Tears just started flowing out. It was such a happy moment. I felt so lucky and blessed. My sister who is going to have her baby right before ours is also having a girl! I do feel a little bad for Jax because out of all the grand babies he will be the only boy. In fact that was everyone's reaction when we made our phone calls and announced that we were having another daughter. The first thing everyone said was, "poor Jax" lol. I'm getting really excited and feeling her move more and more everyday. Can't wait to meet her!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You would not believe how many people have asked me lately if they are twins. Really? Can't you tell Peyton is older? I mean there's almost a two year difference between them. I guess it's because when they're side by side in a stroller or a cart they almost look the same size. You can't really tell that Peyton is a lot taller when they're sitting and the fact that Jax is a tank probably adds to the confusion. I don't think there is really any guessing to what our baby is going to look like. Boy or girl it will probably look just like these two. :)</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well, Derek and I officially made it to the five year mark in our marriage! Last Saturday was our 5th anniversary! The past five years have been awesome! I am so lucky that I found Derek! I always think about when I was younger and things I would have done way different in relationships and just life in general if I knew then what I do today. I really feel though that wrong choices and bad decisions helped me develop into who I am now. They help me appreciate the good man that I get to spend my life with even more. Life led me to him and I'm so grateful for that! On our anniversary he brought me roses when he got off work and then we went to Roseville and had dinner just the two of us. Its always good to spend time alone.</span></em></div>

We took them swimming, in a heated inside pool of course. We also took them bowling. It was Jax's first time and Peyton's second. Her first was when she was to young to walk so it might as well have been her first too. They loved it! I adore the picture above!

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Peyton is starting to turn into a careful little girl! She kept telling me to get back when Jax and daddy went to take their turn. I've been noticing her worrying about little things every once in a while that kids her age normally wouldn't think twice about. She's becoming aware of dangers which is good, but I do enough worrying for the both of us lol!</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jax was getting cranky, but Dora Gummies changed that quick. He's been saying, "ya!" now which is soo refreshing from his, "mo" which is supposed to be no. It's funny when he says no he sounds like Gary off of sponge bob, "meoo"... I'm still not used to it though. When I ask him a question and he shouts, "ya!" it's still totally cute! It's sad to think that one day he'll say it and it will be another normal response instead of making me smile every time.</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Three kids is definitely going to be an adjustment. I'm so excited to have one more angel to add to our happy home, but nervous at the same time, which I think is normal. I remember being nervous with Jax. I just want to make my children feel that they are loved equally, but different because they are their own little person. I always want them to feel like I will take time out of every day to appreciate them, tell them that I love them and set that time away just for them individually. I know that life gets hectic and I'm sure when they're older it will be even crazier, but I really feel that's important in building my relationship with them. I want their 18 or so years at home to be remembered as happy times and for them to know that I will love them no matter what and they can always come to me with anything.</span></em></div>

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">OK, so the craziest thing happened while we were there. When we lived at our apartment we would always see two ducks swimming in the pool out back and Peyton, who was only one at the time, would go outside and feed them bread with us. We even named them Willard and Willamina. She loved it. When we would take her to the park some times they would be there. I swear these are the same ducks from two years ago and we saw them yesterday in the park. I know ducks look the same, but I'd put money on these being the same ones that we used to feed and play with. We were able to relive that fun memory for a minute and it was pretty cool.</span></em></div>Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180470222889987514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441545245505595919.post-16617104357568003202012-04-11T12:40:00.000-07:002012-04-11T12:40:16.034-07:00Guess What???<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQbTr1NGs-B5b7azC-VJtRF7GUWBgwE-CqVBh1MpmRkZbVzAzYpi9sGeaFVo8Q58iOTHaztKrM41pMpA94T7jx2qviqNSShsSq0RZ3ylz9rYNdeJFRRWxb1D3S3debg92T1gkNw_V1BBaa/s1600/announce.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="335" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQbTr1NGs-B5b7azC-VJtRF7GUWBgwE-CqVBh1MpmRkZbVzAzYpi9sGeaFVo8Q58iOTHaztKrM41pMpA94T7jx2qviqNSShsSq0RZ3ylz9rYNdeJFRRWxb1D3S3debg92T1gkNw_V1BBaa/s400/announce.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

With Peyton and Jax we told right away by just calling everyone, but this time I wanted to do something a little different and I loved what Lacey of Lacey C Photography came up with for us! Our appointment was Monday, the day after Easter and for some reason I was way more nervous than I'd been going into ultrasounds in the past. I was instantly calmed down after seeing the little flicker of the heartbeat on the monitor. My prayers were answered and we have a healthy growing baby! We were even able to see the spine starting to form as well as little stubs for the legs and arms. It was very exciting and I was spot on with the calculation of my due date! It's November 19th and every Monday is one more week into my pregnancy. I am 8 weeks and 2 days pregnant today. This pregnancy so far has been the worst. I was sick for about a week straight with nausea, but I'm finally feeling better. I'm just really tired. By the end of the day I'm running on fumes, but hopefully that will pass soon too. I know that it could be way worse so even though I may sound like it I am trying to not complain. There is more exciting news!!! My sister Audrea is also pregnant and her due date is two days after mine! Every time I've been pregnant I've been excited, but nervous of something happening before I made it to full term. Now it's like double stress, but double excitement as well. I pray that we both have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies! </i></span></div>Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180470222889987514noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441545245505595919.post-44582052394895306202012-04-11T12:01:00.000-07:002012-04-11T12:01:25.323-07:00Easter!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

I'm always thinking about how I will look back and remember these days because time is going by so fast. At the party I was visiting with my Aunt and she said that looking at our kids reminded her of my cousins and I as kids running all over my grandparent's house. I thought about the home videos that I've seen in the past where all my aunts and uncles were probably around the same age as we are now and all of us kids running around with our cousins and having a lot of fun. I am so greatful that my family has always been all about family and that they've taught me that family is everything. I'm even more greatful now that I have a family of my own and to be able to teach them these same values.</span></em></div>Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180470222889987514noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5441545245505595919.post-41268919501000240672012-03-14T08:49:00.001-07:002012-03-14T11:46:51.040-07:00While we were away...<div><p>Derek and I went to south lake tahoe for a few days last week. It was so much fun! We try to get away from the kids every couple months so we can reconnect, regroup, and relax. We left the kids with audge because they love it over there like it's their second home. I wish I would have taken pictures while we were in tahoe because it was so beautiful, but I didn't so here are a few that were sent to me from my sisters while we were away. These kids are so much fun!</p>

Whenever we decide to have one the kids and I always chant while we're getting ready, "hooray for family day!" They love them too! With the way Derek's schedule works out they mostly fall on weekdays. Usually we take the kids to various stores and do a little shopping, go to lunch, buy them a new toy to play with, and throw in a fun activity. The other day we decided to have a family day and I asked Peyton if she could pick any fun place in the world to go where would it be. She said, "Audge's house"! :) We decided to take them to John's incredible pizza instead. They have an arcade there that is so fun for kids. Peyton and jax loved the games. Jax was a big fan of the way the tickets would come out of the machine. I think we kinda helped with the excitement by saying, "wow! Look at all the tickets you won on that game!" every time they would come out. It wasn't till the end that they knew what the tickets were actually for. Then they liked them even more because they were able to get a few small toys and a coloring book with their winnings. Seeing their excitement throughout the day is the whole reason we make an effort to make these family days special for them and to have them as often as possible. I know that as children grow things become more hectic and their lives become consumed with school, sports, friends, and other activities so for now I cherish the uninterrupted family days we get to have and only hope that as time unfolds we will be able to set apart special days for each other. At the very least I hope these will be days that my children will look back on as fond memories from their childhood. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

She wasn't progressing and the doctor said she didn't think the baby would be born until between 8 and noon the next morning. Around midnight we decided to go home and get some rest thinking we had hours. After getting about 15 minutes of sleep my phone rang. It was Audge saying that Janeane was dilated to a 10 and getting ready to push, this was at about 1:30. My parents were sleeping at my house so they didn't have to drive all the way home so I woke them up and we scrambled to get out the door. They had her right about the time that we arrived back at the hospital. The wait from the time they had her to the time we were able to go back and meet her seemed like forever. Even the long walk to the last room in the hallway felt like forever.</span></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kenny's flight was supposed to come in at 9:45am so we were all there bright and early, but apparently it wasn't so bright because they sent his plane to San Jose to refuel because they couldn't land due to fog. It was a three hour process for them to get to San Jose, refuel and fly back so we had plenty of time to take pictures and fool around while waiting at the airport. My dad was actually taking the kids on "rides" up and down the escalators to keep them entertained. It was funny.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Embarrassingly enough I was sitting on our recliner while facebooking when all the sudden I felt something crawling up my leg. I hit it with my hand and then looked down and saw this huge centipede laying there. I freaked out and jumped out of the chair throwing the computer to the floor face down. The screen is no more. This kind of stunk because our desk top computer has been easily overheating lately so we haven't been using that. Basically this was our only source to cyber world. I dug out my old laptop and it surprisingly worked better than I thought it would, but was still super slow and I had no intentions of uploading pictures just to slow it down even more. Was my hubby mad at me? Of course... but he forgave a little when I figured out how to ghetto rig our laptop to our desk top screen. Is it lame? Yes, very, but it's been working until we decide to break down and buy a new one. Anyways, on to the rest of my post. We have been keeping very busy so this post will be mostly pictures and I'll try to refrain from going off too much about anything and everything.</span></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Janeane isn't due to have her baby girl until February 1st, but we decided to do her shower a little early because of the holidays and everyone having things to do. Her shower turned out super cute and we were proud of all the decorating we helped do.</em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

She even picked out the last witch costume I would have chosen for her, but after we put it on her we realized it was a cute one. We practiced her witch laugh a thousand times at home and she got it down perfect, but once we actually got out and around other people she was too shy to do it... We started out our night of trick or treating at Grammy's work(an assisted living facility). All the elderly people were so excited to see these two at their door and I'm pretty sure grammy loved showing them off to everyone.</span></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I think it would be the coolest thing for them to watch when they are older and remember how they thought way back when. I haven't done it yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to start on Peyton's next birthday. Anyways, I was on Pinterest today and I saw a pin that said 21 questions to ask your child. I read through them and thought it was pretty funny, but they were all about what the kids thought about mom. I started asking Peyton the questions and she kept saying I don't know, so then I started asking her other things and she was crackin' me up so I decided to share the rest of the interview with you. Here it goes(I'm the one asking the questions obviously and she's the one answering):<br />
<br />
Q: How old are you?<br />
A: 3!<br />
<br />
Q:What makes you happy?<br />
A: Going down the slide!<br />
<br />
Q: What makes you sad?<br />
A: When you put me in the crib. (I swear I've done this 1 time when she was throwing the biggest fit and would not stay in her bed. How does she remember that?)<br />
<br />
Q. What do you like to do?<br />
A: I like to watch cartoons and go down the slide and play outside and I'm gonna all eat candy!(the last part doesn't really make sense, but that's what she said)<br />
<br />
Q: What do I like to do?<br />
A: Umm.. you like to put away dishes and i'm going to answer these questions so then I can watch the cat movie!(She's really into busytown mysteries on netflix!)<br />
<br />
Q: What's your favorite thing to help me with?<br />
A: Laundry!<br />
<br />
Q: What do you wanna be when you grow up?<br />
A: Umm.. I'd like to be a doctor when I grow up...(what a smarty)<br />
<br />
Q: Who's you favorite person?<br />
A: You mama! And Jax!<br />
<br />
Q: Where is your favorite place to go?<br />
A: To the doctor..(lol, what kid likes the Dr. office?)<br />
<br />
Q: What's your favorite cartoon?<br />
A: The cat movie! Can I watch the cat movie now?<br />
In a minute, just a few more questions...<br />
<br />
Q: What makes mommy happy?<br />
A: we can do everysing we know(umm... k)<br />
<br />
Q: Where does daddy work?<br />
A: Trains!<br />
<br />
Q: What makes brother happy?<br />
A: What makes brother scared?<br />
Hey I'm the one asking the questions here... This isn't working very well...<br />
<br />
Q: Tell me something silly?<br />
A: Umm... I want the cat movie! Can I have my cat movie now?<br />
<br />
Maybe it's a good thing I'm not filming her first interview till her fourth birthday! Now that she's watching "the cat movie" I guess I'll finish this blog up with what she's been saying lately. When we're telling her to do something sometimes her response is, "shush..." I'm pretty sure she got this one from me.. oops! When I tell her what we're going to do in a day she gets really excited and says, "maybe we can do all that!" of course we're going to do all that. That's why I said "this is what we're going to do today"! She's really into calling Jax "Jackie" I think she said it on accident the first time and thought it sounded funny so she's been saying it ever since. In the morning she comes into our room, climbs into our bed and yells, "OKAY, let's get up and get some strawberry milk!" but the way she says "lets get up" is like she's trying to make it sound convincing, like it's fun to get out of bed or something. When she wants Jax to go play with her she tells him, "come on Jax, you can come into my room if you want to!" like he already needs permission haha... She's really into singing songs and now has a few country songs memorized, or at least the chorus anyways and it's soo funny to hear her belting them out from the bathroom while she's on the potty. She is so smart too! She now knows Derek's, mine, Jax's and her birthdays and she has our phone number and Janeane's cell phone memorized. It's crazy how long she has remembered them too! Today in the bath she was playing with her letters that stick on the wall and tilted the I sideways and told me, "look, mama! I made a fat H!" she's hilarious! I love it! The last thing I can think of is whenever she's being chased by anyone she yells, "oh no the big bad wolf"! She's a chicken too.. she LOVES Dora still, but lately when it's on t.v. I've caught her a few times sitting behind the couch looking into the kitchen. I finally figured out why the other day. Whenever she hears the sound right before swipper comes out she gets scared and hides until they find him. She never did this before, but all the sudden she started doing it every time she watched the show! Anyways, that's enough for now about my crazy daughter! I'm still waiting to hear what my son is going to say! Look forward to that post in about a year!Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180470222889987514noreply@blogger.com2
