True Love...WINK!

You know it's true love when they are sharing fruit snacks and vanilla waffers...:o)

Kaylie reading us a book!

Cool Bug!

Daddy's lil mechanic...

Kyle was out in the garage working on his 4 wheeler Thursday night, and all Kaylie kept saying was "I want to go Bye Bye" and pointing at the back door, when what she was really wanting was to go out in the garage with daddy! So, we let her go out there for a little bit. She kept going to his tools and bringing them to him. She would bring him a socket at a time... It was adorable. I think that she is going to be daddy's lil helper when she gets older. It started getting a little chilly out there so I decided that she needed to come in for a little bit, and "oh boy" she threw a fit! :o( Needless to say, she ended up back out there with him and she was in heaven!

Screw driver...? I think that it needs tightened.

Is this the one you are looking for? This one should get er done! Try this one.

Here ya go daddy...! You need your 3/8 inch wrench?

It's been interesting around here...

I took Kaylie bug into Urgent Care on Monday evening when she woke up from her afternoon nap and was running 101.3 fever. She had a runny nose, coughing & her eyes were red and watery, and kind of crabby at times for about 2-3 day prior. I just thought it was a normal nasty winter cold. Well, I got to Urgent Care and she was on fire, they took her temp and it had went up to 103.9 on the ride to Springfield. They took chest x-rays, and did a RSV test. The dr. came back in and said that her RSV test came back positive. They decided that since we live 45 mins from Springfield that they would go ahead and admit her to the hospital to keep an eye on her fever, and give her some IV fluids. I pulled up at Carol Jo Vechie and took her in to the lobby to get registered, and noticed that the fever felt like it had broke (they gave her Motrin before we left the dr's office) She then wanted down and by the time that Kyle got there she wanted down and to run around. I asked them if we really needed to be there since she was feeling better and they said "yeah" because her fever would probably start to go back up in the night etc.(which it did) So, we sucked it up and stayed. We didn't sleep good, but oh well.

Tara's little boy Carter was also diagnosed on Monday with pneumonia... (Which I am thinking that him and Kaylie both had the RSV and his turned worse) The poor little guy has been so sick. She was starting to get really worried, because her dr. didn't seem to concerned that he wasn't drinking much at all and had been running a fever up to 104.5 off and on for a couple days. I feel so bad for her and him. I wish they would just admit him and get him some fluids etc.

Needless to say there is all kinds of crap going around, and I am soooo ready for winter to be over!!! Now, I am not feeling 100% today, but oh well.

Kaylie is doing much better today (Wed) and has been free of a fever since last night. I will keep you posted, but hopefully we are on the upscale of this nasty virus.

Please keep Carter in your prayers that he starts feeling better soon too...:o(

Feeding the Gingerbread Doll!

Yes...Kaylie bug does usually match! :o) But we were gone all morning and came home and I took her jeans off and put some comfy pants on before I put her down for a nap. Just wanted to clarify that...:o) Ha! Ha!

She insisted on feeding her doll in her highchair, so I put it down to the lowest setting and she has been having a ball trying to feed her with her fake meausring spoon from her play kitchen, and has even offered the doll some of her milk out of her sippy cup. LOL!

Kaylie & Carter

Okay... So, I know I haven't posted since the end of December! I am watching Carter today while Tara went to her Dr.'s appt. Here is a picutre that I snapped of Kaylie and Carter sharing gold fish in her chair. I couldn't resist taking the picture, I thought it was so cute!

Great Grandpa Edsel

This is Great Grandpa Edsel (Kyle's dad's dad). They were over for Christmas Wednesday night, and since our nephews were also here playing with Kaylie... I decided to snap a picture of all 4 of them.

May I take your order??

She got her kitchen from grandpa (my dad) and Nanna Cheri for Christmas! It won't be long and she will be cooking dinner and breakfast for Kyle and I...! :o) YEAH!

A few gifts from Santa

Here is Kaylie with a few of her gifts that she got from Santa...

Santa brought her: A kitchen (which is still at my dad's and we will pick it up tonight), clothes, A Rody (blow up horse), Nike Shox, Wagon, Shopping cart, And a Mermaid car that she loves! I will post more pictures of our Christmas later when we get home and things settle down from the holidays! We are at my mom's in Bloomington right now, so I am taking advantage of the wireless Internet, since all we can get at home is dial-up! YUCK! I hate it!

Oh, and her Aunt Tony made her the most adorable chair that she loves to dive in to...!

Kaylie & Santa

She didn't quite know what to think of Santa this year...

Love's P-butter toast!

Kyle's 1st Stitches!

We were at my aunt's house yesterday where she runs a in home daycare. Santa makes a visit there every year to see the kids and then they open their gifts from Tony after Santa leaves. One of the little boys needed help getting his box open (you know how they package kids toys these days!) and Kyle got out his pocket knife and was helping open the boxes and sliced his finger... So, we had to make a trip to Urgent Care where he had to get 4 stitches. OUCH!

They had to end up putting me in a seperate room because I came out of the room they had Kyle in and started feeling like I was going to get sick and pass out! That was the awfulist feeling!

So needless to say our day was interesting...!

1st Batter Beater Cleaning

Kaylie and I were over at our neighbors house today, she was making snookerdoole cookies, and gave Kaylie the batter beater to clean when she was done mixing! She loved it.

Just thought I would share...

New Pictures!

New neighbors!

Our neighbors Tara and Rikk and their children have recently gotten a 6 year old Miniature jack donkey named Jack. He stands about 36 inches at the back. He is very friendly and funny. They acquired him about 2 weeks ago. Just yesterday they acquired Giddeon. He is a 3 week old Saanen/pygmy kid goat. He is SOOOOOO friendly and sweet. He just wants attention all the time and will follow you anywhere. They are currently bottle feeding him and she says that it is adorable! She called me and said that she put Giddeon out in the fenced area with Jack this morning, and he kept escaping through the gaps in the gate, and then kept following her to the house and trying to go in with her...LOL! She had to go and put some fencing on the gate to keep him in there. I haven't talked to her to see how the results of that went.

Just wanted to share the cute pics that she sent me today...:o)

Kaylie

I think that things are starting to look up for her... She went 3 day with out eating...Which really worried me, but the Dr's office said that it was fine as long as she was drinking fluids and staying well hydrated. She did eat really good for us today. She is definitely starting to act like Kaylie bug again! YEAH!

Kaylie Update

Last night was a little rough with her fever and coughing. We were really starting to get worried about her not wanting to drink any fluids for us. This morning her fever has broken and has stayed down even before we gave her another dose of Motrin. That is a a big plus. She has been wanting a little more to drink today, but has still not eaten. I am hoping that she will want something a little later! She seems to be in better spirits as I think that she is actually starting to feel better too. We are keeping out fingers crossed that it is on the upside of this.

Our Thanksgiving...:o(

Tuesday, Kaylie started out with a nasty sounding cough. By Wednesday it is really sounded deep and nasty, so we decided that it would be best if we went ahead and took her into the Dr. since it was a long weekend coming up. Her Dr. was out of the office, so we saw one of the nurse practitioner's. Kaylie had a slight temp when we got there but was in good spirits otherwise. She didn't really say much about her cough, but did say that she had another ear infection (we just finished out second round of antibiotics for a double ear infection)... So, she decided to try a different kind. Wednesday night none of us got very much sleep. The poor thing was up coughing off and on, running a fever etc... So, we just decided to stay home and lounge with Kaylie bug today. Today-Kaylie has NOT been herself, running a temp,which was high at times, not wanting to eat or drink. We have been trying to push the fluids as much as we possibly can! I think the only thing that we have gotten her to eat is...A couple pieces of fruit. She has just been laying on us sleeping most of the day. We did end up calling the nurse, and she did hear her having a coughing spell while Kyle was on the phone with her, and said that she thinks that she has "Croup". She did give us many tips on how to deal with it. So, I did take her in the bathroom and turn the hot water on full and sit in there with her for about 20 mins. Well, I just wanted to keep ya posted on how she was feeling and tell you how she was spending her 2ND Thanksgiving..:o(
Poor thing... She could actually eat all the goodies this year too!


We will keep you posted on how she is doing.

She WALKING!

She started taking steps a couple of weeks ago, but would only walk back and forth to Kyle and I while we were sitting on the floor, but out of no where this weekend she started getting up and walking for one piece of furniture to another, and loving every minute of it...She would giggle and get all excited as she tried to get her balance and make it to her next destination... I am afraid we are doomed! :O) Unfortunatley though, she had a little accident (Kaylie vs Coffee Table) this evening and has quite the little shiner...Poor thing! I am sure that it is not going to be the last time during this new journey of her's. One bad thing is is that I have an appointment to FINALLY get her year pictures taken this Saturday, but I guess now we will just have to wait and see how her poor little eye looks closer to then. I told my mom (Mee Maw) that she now needs to hurry up and get off of those crutches to keep up with her little Kaylie Bug! :o)
