Sisters

From the day Paije was born Keira loved her. It was quite evident when she came to the hospital to see her new baby sister and she wouldn't let anyone else hold her. We had to bribe her to let her grandma, grandpa, and even her daddy hold her new little sister. It was also evident at the time that Paijey already loved her big sissy. Whenever Keira would run by or stop to squeeze her foot Paije would light up. Yes of course they fight and make each other cry but for the most part they are really good together. Keira calls Paije her best friend. Here are some pictures over the last 2 years of the girls together. I love watching them grow up together.

Keira's Hearing test

Jeff and I have had some concerns about Keira's speech and hearing. We went to the hearing and balance center today and she passed the hearing test with flying colors. She hear 100% out of both ears. I asked about her sensitivity to loud noises and he said it was completely normal and it should mellow out in the next 5 years and can take as long as until she is 10. The next step is to get her speech tested. Although she is getting a lot clearer now and we found out a lot of sounds she is having trouble with is normal for her age. So mostly likely it's just mama being overly cautious.

I will keep everyone posted.

New Addiction

I have a new addiction. Its called Rock Band 2. Jeff picked it up yesterday and we have played it a lot since then. Don't worry the kids aren't being neglected....yet. We played so much today that my hand is all crampy from holding the guitar. Paije bops her head to the music. The girl has some serious rhythm already.

Keira had her first soccer game this Saturday. She only played about half the time. She gets really shy with large groups of people especially when they are watching her. There was some crying but we got her to kick the ball. Mommy and daddy had to take turns running with her. She even scored a goal. I will post pictures soon.

Off to play more Rock band......

Conversations with Keira

So Keira and I were talking today and this is what happened.

Keira-" Mommy is Miss Megan your friend?"
Me- " Yes she is my friend."
Keira-" Do you guys like to hang out?"
Me-"Yes we like to do things together, Why do you ask?"
Keira- (great big smile) " I have an idea!"
Me- "oh?"
Keira " I think you and Miss Megan need to have a play date."
Me- "oh ya you think so?"
Keira- " Uh-huh and then Miss Megan can bring Gracie and we can watch you guys play"
Then she hands me my phone.....

Hey Megan wanna have a play date lol?


Keira- "mommy do you like babies?"
Me- " yes"
Keira " Paijey isn't a baby anymore."
Me- "yes i know she is turning into a little girl"
Keira-" but i want a baby"
Me- "thats nice"
Keira-" I have an idea, Mommy tell your tummy to grow a baby like when you had Paijey and then we will have a baby"
Me- " well hunny mommy's tummy doesn't think it's ready for a baby"
Keira-"yes mommy you tell your tummy oh ya tell it I want a baby brother there are too many princesses for daddy already."
Me- "where's the wine?.............."

For lunch we went to Red Robin and a big group came in and several of the women had really big Texas hair.

Keira (really loud) "Mommy look at that lady's funny hair its REALLY BIG and poofy!"
Me- Where's the food?............


Fun Times!

Fall has arrived

The days are warm and the nights are cool. Fall has come. I love fall in the Pacific Northwest. All the rain in the winter and spring makes for a really pretty fall. The girls are doing well. Keira just got over a UTI and kidney infection. She was spiking a fever of 104.2 so we took her to the ER. yep lots of fun. Paije is breaking in those molars. She has been grumpy for a few days. I also think she has my fall allergies. Poor girl is living up to her nickname again..Boogie. Jeff has his first cold in a while and is sitting over here sniffing and coughing.

Here are some pictures of what we have been up to. Lots of face painting and playing outside.

Face Painting and books

Keira loves to get her face painted. When ever we go to places that have face painting she always wants it done. So at the store we bought some face paint. I am very limited in what I can do so my specialty right now is a puppy dog. I ordered a book and better face paint so that I can get better. here are our puppies.



I just finished a 4 book series by Stephanie Meyer. Its the twilight series. I haven't been this caught up in a series since Harry Potter. I finished the series in a week and a half. My poor children and hubby were neglected. I love when I find books like this.

Pre-K

Keira started pre-k today. She was so excited to be in Miss Suzie's class. She barly gave me a kiss goodbye. Then she was off with her friends.
