wow im a slacker..........

oh the jots of family togetherness. so we didn't get pictures of the beginning of the week , we had our annual condie family reunion the weekend of the 24th. Michaels brother from arkansas and his family came into town to visit and attend the reunion . the only visit like once a year so we were really excited they were here. We went on a huge famil hike to donut falls , it was great exercise, then we came back did some swimming ate some dinner and then got ready to go to the bees game . we had a lot of fun , but maybe a little too much fun, ben got accused of being publically drunk because he was "cheering" very loudly. They even told him to lower his volume. really? at an out door baseball game? Needless to say he didn't lower his volume and little brother michael also decided to chime in . They had some awesome fireworks and the kids behaved very well .




little addi got here ears pierced for her birthday. she was very happy and excited as you see in the first picture and then not very happy at all in the second. she loves them now and feels very pretty!! i recommend doing the piercing thing at like birth, that seems like a good age. 3 not such a good age.





we had a zoo day, the kids all loved the zoo . except jaiden, she was angry that she dropped her snack in the rams cage, and her binkie i believe. poor little jaiden.



tryn bens youngest daughter was born about 3 weeks before addi so we decided to have a combined princess birthday party. we went to incredible pizza ( the grown ups had to be able to play too) ben and shanon gpt the girls cute sashes that said birthday princess in glitter , they also had crowns they ate lots and aunt shannon made a cake for the girls and they loved it .


they opened presents, lots and lots of presents, and luckily everyone was very smart and bought both girls the exact same thing, therefore there was no fighting.
they also got to play games , they loved it . at the end of the night we were very sick of hearing i want to play a game. lucky for us the games they liked to play only cost about 30 cents, we had a lot of money left over and we will have to go back. darn.





it was an awesome week, full of late night talks , laughter , lots of mountain dew, and being late to work often. Family is so wonderful and i am thankful i got a real good one. hopefully it wont be too long till my next post. the girls birthdays are coming up !!
love you all.

so much to catch up .

wow its been along time,
ok here is the quick run down,
in february both my little girls got sick, addi has never once been sick but the one time she happens to get sick , she gets little sister sick too. i thought jaiden just had a cold but woth her CAH we have to be really careful about her getting sick her body can't handle the stress , so we took her to the doctor. hse had RSV, scarey right ? not as scarey as what her specialist doctor topld us could happen if she had too high of a fever, so we had to triple her medicine and try are best to get her back healthy. didn;t take long our little trooper was good to go in no time.

some where along t here she decided she didnt want to be a nursing baby anymore . so to formula we went , it was a very sad time for me.

after that she got thrush , poor kid right . we finally got that all cleared up and took her to her 6 month appointment and hse had a yeast infection on her bum.

here is her six month stats ,
height-25 inches
weight - 14.3 pounds
head somethin something
growing good

i bought a new car subaru tribeca . thats all for now more later

4 monthes old

well i am a bad bogger jaiden is actually closer to 5 monthes but we'll just update.
her stats:
height - 23 1/2 inches 50 percentile
weight 11.5 pounds 10 precentile
head was something something 50 percentile.
the doctor said her last measurements were probably wrong , it seems she hasn't grown much. which is odd because if you look at her you can't help but notice how much she has grown. she has little chubby cheeks and thinks she can sit up . doesn't seem to be a big fan of eating solids. and she has discovered she can get what she wants if she throws a tantrum. lately she hasn't wanted to nurse. i keep trying really hard but she just refuses. its hard but im trying real hard to get her back on track. any advice from seasoned mothers? she seems like she is on strike. doctors appointments have gone down alot , she is staying stable .

poor little addi has some kind of chest cold. its the first time she has ever been sick. it makes me so sad. last night i found her curled up in my door way asleep. hopefully she can kick it soon and not pass it on to little sister.

AND........................... ADDI IS POTTY TRAINED !!!!! she hasn't had an accident in forever she even goes poop all by herself. the trick to get her to do it ? i can't help her, she doesn't want my help at all. she goes in does her business and is done crazy i know .
michael and i are still busy working and being parents.
hope all is well in your neck of the woods love you
