A Kayleeism and updates

Several weeks ago we went to a park to take photos of the Day family. After we were done the children all ran around playing.

These girls crack me up. DRAMA Queens! But oh so sweet with each other. When I saw them doing this (Kaylee was scared to cross this bridge by herself so Becca gave her a lift. It’s several feet up.) I got a bit nervous. Although the bridge had a net Dwayne and I put a stop to it.

Later in the car I thought “Man it would have been nice to get a photo of the crazy…”

Not to worry Jon had seen, encouraged, and photographed it well before the rest of us even knew what was going on.

“I was right there to catch them the first time across. Becca did fine so I didn’t worry about it.”

Good to know.

Anyway we have been having a blast with family since being down here. I LOVE that the children are getting to know their cousins better. And being able to have sister time with sisters I didn’t get to see often before is the best!

Kaylee Update: So about a week ago we took Kaylee in to get tested for a UTI. (Yup. AGAIN….) Poor kiddo not only had ANOTHER UTI, but she also had an ear infection. Sad day. Also it was before we had found a pediatrician so we took her to the E.R.

The hospital Jon works for has a pediatric E.R. Mendy’s Place (said like Mindy). So that’s where we went. BEST E.R. experience EVER. It was SO SO SO nice. Neatest E.R. I’ve ever been to. She LOVED it.

We may have to take her to see a urologist….

Regan Update: So yesterday afternoon we met Regan’s new G.I. Dr. Very nice man. Wants to try experimenting with slowly introducing Regan’s allergen foods back into his diet to see what happens.

He wants us to start with wheat. So this morning I gave Regan a poptart (not healthy. but So yummy). He was in heaven. I am to call and chat with Dr. K in a week to decided if we are starting a new food or backtracking to no allergen foods.

I told Jon we need to go get a couple boxes of diapers from Costco ASAP. I hope Dr. K. is right and that things will go well and we will be able to just feed Regan “normal” food. We shall see though.

Kayleeism: So while we waiting for the Dr. to come into the exam room Regan was being super cute.

Kaylee,”Mama where’s a camera. We needa takea picture of Regan James.”
Me,”I don’t have it Love.”
Kaylee,”What! Why not?! What happened?!”
Me,”I left it home.”

Kaylee was horrified with me (I do usually have it and take tons of random pics.). She sort of laid into me about how we ALWAYS need to have it with us. It was funny. I guess I need to start packing it in the ol’ diaper bag.

And with that I’ve finally caught up on our recent activities. Now I can do my last minute (like the toiletries and meds.) packing. We are headed to Utah for a VERY quick Christmas visit. The children are excited to see all the grandparents.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Santa

I think two weekends ago we went to our ward party and they had Santa for the kiddos. This was the first time the children met Santa. Kaylee was SUPER excited. I was worried about Regan. He wasn’t feeling so hot and was real clingy, but he did awesome.

They also snapped a family photo of us. We really like our new ward.

Thanksgiving weekend 2011

A few days before Thanksgiving Jack’ee came over and helped me de-nastify the kitchen cupboards. She’s awesome like that.

ewwww…….

Found some new shelf paper that I love at the Dollar Tree (LOVE that place). It’s a fun splash of color in an expected place.

Papa and Yaiyai drove down for the weekend and Regan claimed Papa’s hat as soon as he arrived. It was nice having them here for our first AZ holiday.

Jon and I took advantage of my parents being here for some babysitting so we could hit up Ikea. (First time for both of us.) I can’t wait to go back. I loved it. Jon found a perfect Kaylee desk. She was SO excited when she saw it.

Thanksgiving day we headed to Jack’ee and Jason’s house to eat. They made an AMAZING meal.
Regan received his b-day gift. Jack’ee asked me what to get him. So I requested she get him his first train set (Ika) and he has played with it every day since.

Jack’ee got him extra cars to go with the starter set, and we are going to buy him more tracks as he gets older. Or you know the next time we got to Ikea.

They boys had fun playing trains after dinner.

The day after is our usual tree trimming day. I didn’t get around to it until after my parents left a few day later. Kaylee helped as per usual. She decided that the flowers looked better in my hair.


After we finished the tree we made our first AZ fort. (Rug from Ikea.) It was a lovely first holiday in our new home.
