November

November in our house brings alot of busy times but alot of fun times too! Miss Ry is still a little stinker. She has decided to not talk except for momma. She does alot of grunting, pointing and head nodding...I suppose it will all come when she's ready. I cant imagine how fun it is going to be when her and her sister start talking to each other...let the fun begin! Ryleigh has such a STRONG personality and is most certainly a mommy's girl! The looks she gives make me giggle! I try so incredibly hard to not let her see me laugh, but the scowls and pouts she gives are just too darn hilarious to ignore.

Miss Adelyn is getting such a spunky little personality...she will definitely let you know when SHE is not happy. Our 3's are proving to be more difficult than the terrible 2's. She is such a go-getter and daddy's girl. I wouldnt change that for the world, except maybe on days I WISH she would want to go shopping with mommy rather than deer hunting with daddy. All in due time I suppose.

Funny what life brings...its a surprise every day!

November was filled with ALOT of working for mommy and alot of hunting for daddy. The girls got some extra time with Aunties and grandmas which was fine by them, but, by the time Thanksgiving came around you could tell they were ready for some mom and dad time which is what they got! Between Thirty-one, Lia Sophia and my real job, I was putting in some ridiculous hours BUT, it sure has paid off on pay days right before the holidays so we are thankful for that extra we got to lean on!

Daddy's Buck, Emma's 9th golden birthday party fun and santa express time!!!! FUN all the way around! :)

August, September & October

I know, I know, I know! I have been missing in action for a LONG time! I had to take a break from this blog as EVERY time I attempted to write a post I was NEVER allowed to post my pictures so I was frustrated to say the least. However, it seems to be up and running today, so, for my BFF, this is what has been happening with us!

AUGUST:
 August was a fun month...Adi caught her her first fish with Grandpa Robson and Daddy. She became completely potty trained so she got her new "big girl" bike. We had a lot of fun outside because it was a HOT month

SEPTEMBER:

Oh September...We had birthday's and wedding receptions and visiting friends! It was a BUSY month but of course always fun! Adi and I got to go to a Brewer game with Emma and Jessica which was a BLAST! It was all 3 of their very FIRST games so I was happy to be able to experience that with all of them! Ryleigh had been walking for awhile, but September is when she REALLY took off! No stopping her now!  Adi actually started taking Ballet classes! This is so very exciting for her...AND me! Daddy, not so much, BUT, when he got to take her to class one night and see the excitement on her face and listen to the excitement in her voice, he changed his mind and now is on board with dance! :)  FINALLY, Ryleigh's hair fits in a little pony...I love fixing my girls' hair...when they will let me! :)

OCTOBER:

MY BABY IS TURNING 3!!!! There is SO much going on this much, but Adi turning 3 is the highlight of the month! I cannot believe what a sweet, delicate, awesome girl she is becoming! I love seeing her grow every day. She is learning so much at her own pace, of course! But, she is my little angel. Both of our girls are our pride and joy and as crazy as they make us some days and as tired as we are sometimes, they are the light of our lives. They make our life worth living. THEY are our little angels and love them both to pieces!

 My beautiful family!

June/July

I have been having some real troubles with my blog again! Sorry for the long delay in posting! June was  a great month of fun things! Father's Day weekend I "made" daddy have "Daddy & Me" photos done with the girls! They turned out great and the girls are going to ADORE these photos when they get older! I know I will cherish them forever. There is nothing more special and sweet than a daddy with his children.

The following weekend we were lucky to get to make a trip to Viroqua to visit our wonderful friends, the Young family! Our visits are always too far apart but we cherish the time we do get to spend with this wonderful, loving family. We are so lucky to call them friends! Their kiddos are getting so big and our girls love to see them.

June 24, 2013 we had another follow up appointment with Adi's pediatric neurologist, Dr. Zawadski. I was very nervous for this appointment because we had noticed Adi having some odd behavior again. I was so nervous we were going to be put through more testing like MRI's, EEG's, etc. However, after our visit, we decided we will up Adi's medication dosage due to her growing and also start to give her Melatonin. Dr. Z believes that Adi's lack of rest is causing her "spells", which makes sense. We were going through a tough spell of her not wanting to go to bed at night and then I had to wake her at 6:30a.m. so she was only getting 6-8 hours of sleep which is not enough for her. She has been on the new dosage now for almost a month and we have not noticed any spells. Thank God!

June 30th we had Ry's FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!! It was so great to have so many friends and family come to celebrate our baby girl! She most certainly is a special little girl!

 Mommy & Ry

 Lots of giggles with her very own smash cake!

 

 The special cupcake, cake

 

 Owl Smash Cake

 Mmm...mmm...mmm!!!

 Love you to the moon and back smiley!

 

She got to have a celebration at daycare on her birthday too!!!

Fourth of July was a hoot too! We went to watch Uncle Aaron (Airnin to the girls!) pull tractors! The girls thought that was a blast! At the end of the pulls, we stayed to watch the fireworks which was extra fun for all of us too. It was a late night and the girls were out like lights as soon as the car started moving.

July 5th we worked half days and then Nick and I headed to Canada for a week of rest, relaxation and just some good ol mommy and daddy time. We had a BLAST but, I had a pretty hard time being away from the girls for that long. I cried alot when we left them and then when I did FaceTime with them I cried too, but, only the first two times. By Tuesday I was a pro but by Wednesday night, Thursday morning, I was ready to go home to my babies. Nick would have chose to stay over Saturday night and head home sunday morning but I made him drive straight through so we were home when the girls woke up Sunday morning and boy am I glad we did that! Adi giggled her head off and I thought Ry would hyperventilate she was so excited! It was a much needed vacation for all of us! Cant wait for the girls to go with us to experience the joys of Canada. We love it there! 

 We met some WONDERFUL families while we were there! Hard to believe one of the families is from Blue Mounds, another from Mount Horeb and the other from Glidden! What a small wonderful world.

 My big fish of the week...he/she was a HOG and was about 37(ish)"

 Camp is wonderful and will be so fun for the girls next year!

 Home for a week! Ahhhh...

Until next time, I think this weekend is going to be pretty quiet but now that I said that it will turn into a crazy weekend.

June, 2013

This month marks a few big days for our family. Our little Ryleigh decided to make her appearance one month early. My youngest baby girl turns ONE this month...yes, ONE! I cant believe it! We had her pictures done so we have them back in time for her party so here is a sneak peak!

 My blue eyed beautiful little girl!

 Soooo BIG! :)

 Cant leave Adi out...she has been having lots of fun too! Dancing to Taylor Swift with Emma!

 Her Nature collection jar she made at daycare!

 Making Cake Pops with Emma at their sleepover!

 Adi was in heaven having Em pull her with the John Deere!

The crew at the parade at Mt. Horeb summer Frolic!

11 Months!!!!!!

My how time really does fly when you have two little munchkins to love and snuggle! Ryleigh is now 11 MONTHS! I simply cannot believe it! This time last year I was in a world of aches and pains that were oh so worth it! Love these little peanuts to pieces! At eleven months we are motoring right along! Not walking yet, which is fine by me! Chasing one outside is enough right now! Thank goodness we have a co-parent household so Nick can chase one and I can chase the other!

Miss Ryleigh is nothing like her sister. She is very boisterous and mommy's girl 1,000%! She is finally eating big people food, as she was pretty addicted to her baby food which was fine by me. Her sister would eat hardly half a jar and Ryleigh will mow down two jars at a time without a problem. She is now standing and pushing her walker and crawls alot faster. She is a giggle monster and loves to be held and tickled. Big sis is starting to have more fun with her now that she can crawl and get into more mischief. I dont have stats on her yet but give me a couple weeks for her one year check!

 Cant leave sis out either...

 Yes...she wanted to wear "pretty" like mommy! Mascara was her "pretty" of choice!

Just love the colors...we have so much fun outside!

I love you so much my little princesses!!!!

Mother's Day/Memorial Day

Mother's Day weekend was busy, great and hard all at the same time! Nick and I were able to get some "us" time Saturday night to celebrate our anniversary. Sunday was spent in a pretty big rush, but was fabulous as the girls and I had a Mommy & Me photo shoot with a local photographer who took time out of her very first mother's day to let us enjoy our day! It was so special and I got some EXCELLENT pictures of me and the girls which will be cherished FOREVER!

Monday however was  a very heartbreakingly bitter sweet day...we had to lay Nick's aunt Deb to rest as her four year battle to cancer was lost! She is no longer in pain and this is the bitter sweetness but, her life was taken too young as she was a vibrant, active, AMAZING woman! It is so sweet when we take Adi to bed at night, she no longer prays for Aunt Deb, she prays WITH Aunt Deb which hurts my heart but also makes me so proud that our daughter is so loving!

We were able to make it to yet another wedding May 18th which was fantastic and a great time to just get out and let loose on the dance floor! Sadly the girls were unable to attend with us as there were stairs EVERYWHERE and belconies, etc., so we got yet another adult evening with family! It was nice!

Memorial weekend was spent indoors alot and outdoors during the times it was not raining! I havent had time to get any of my flowers planted, so now we actually have some color around home now! We had alot of family time which was wonderful. What better way to celebrate all of the brave men and women who fight daily for our freedom! God Bless them all!

June will bring more running as we have graduation parties, Father's Day, birthday parties and more! We are bound to have a nice weather weekend at some point! Until then, I am stuck in the girls' closets trying to be out with the small and in with the new that actually FITS!
