FINALLY PHOTOS!!!

An attempt at braiding Cheyenne's hair - not quite thick enough yet!! :)


Well its Saturday morning, and looking back on this week I have to say that it has been one of my better ones. I started this week off with a lot of things I wanted to do and I feel so great that I did them. I, like the rest of the world, am starting again at living healthy. I was doing really well before my car accident, but after that I got out of the routine and haven't been doing well at all. So I started again this week and I am proud to say I made it to the Y to work out 4x. My goal was 5x but on Friday I shoveled snow and played outside with Cheyenne, so I counted that. :) The girls have been really good this week. all but for two days, they took naps at the same time and gave me time to have down time myself. Though these holidays I learned a little about myself, in that if I don't get any down time - I turn into a crab!!!
The girls are doing great, i think they are really enjoying being back on a schedule and little Dakota is just all over the place now, really learning to crawl fast!!

Oh the holidays

Well the holidays are over and there is no longer anyone staying at my house and both girls are napping at the same time, which hasn't happened in weeks. So i finaly have time to get on the computer. So here is a little update from us. Our holidays were fun and very busy. It was good to have all my family over. Kinda weird to have it at my house this year instaed of my mom and dads, but we still had a really good time. I have a ton of pics, thanks to my mom (i kept forgetting to take them) So I will make a sideshow someday soon to show all of them, but here are just a few from all our holiday celebrations

Mama's Girl

So its been like 2 or more weeks since I have last posted, but i have excuses! First off we were without internet for a WEEK! it was hard (probably more for dave b/c of fantasy football, then for me) but still it was pretty rough. And then during the day I literally can not sit down and do anything. Dakota is a huge mama's girl and if I am not holding her, feeding her, or playing with her, she is screaming!!! and i am barely exaderating (sp?) so i have been having a hard time getting much of anything accomplished, let alond posting. so i apologize to all my readers. I have cute christmas tree cutting pics, and a video of Dakota, that i will eventually get up. but if I don't post for another month, at least now you know why.

Its been a while

So its been a while since I have posted. We had a really good thanksgiving. We drove to Texas to see Dave's mom and brothers. It was a good time, and the girls were spoiled silly! I don't have any pics cause I am a horrible mom and forgot to take some! The girls did really well traveling, and the van is freakin awesome!! Cheyenne loves the dvd player, and dakota was really good. she would just sleep for a while, and then just sit and play with her toys. We only had one incident where Cheyenne got car sick. it was on our way home, and we were only 10 minutes from Fulton! We were so close! Poor girl. Well I am at work and I should get back to doing what I am suppose to be doing. Hopefully soon I will post a video of Dakota crawling. she is sooooo close.

Our Life

Well a lot has happened this week and it is only Tuesday!! For starter, we are proud owners of a new van! YEAH! we purchased it yesterday (well the bank purchased it yesterday) and it is great. it is a 2005 Crystlar Town and Country. It is super nice, and we got a huge deal on it. Dave and I are happy. On the other hand Cheyenne is not to happy. Last night Dave picked up the girls from the YMCA with the new van, and poor Cheyenne would not get in. She was so terrified and scared of the van. She was screaming and kicking and punching Dave. She wanted nothing to do with it, the poor thing. Dave kept trying to calm her down saying she was safe and that nothing was going to happen. She finally got in. but still today she whines when she has to go in the van, she wants to take the car instead. We are hoping that this won't last long, seeing as we have to take the van to Texas on Saturday.
On another note, Cheyenne is making great strides in potty training the last two days. She used to refuse to put big girl panties on, but today she went potty and put them on afterwards, and ran around the house all excited, and didn't even want to put pants on!! She did have an accident, but hey it was her first time! So things are finally starting to progress. I just pray she keeps at it. I finally found the secert --- dum dum suckers!!!!
Here are a few pics of Cheyenne. One is of her first ever cheeseburger, and the other is of her big girl panties!!!!

Big Helper

Cheyenne has finally warmed up to Dakota, and wants to help me do everything! She is always wanting to play with Dakota, and talking to her about everything. But she also does not like it when Dakota takes one of "her" toys or tries to pull at her hair, or get to close. It is so fun to watch them interact. I posted a video of Cheyenne being a "big helper" at feeding time!
