A Day at LRC

Everyday I have to bring Cheyenne to work with me and then take her to daycare when she gets up and around. Today she tried to get Cheryl ready to go also!

Cheyenne trying to buckle Cheryl's belt. She knows they go in there but hasn't gotten them fastened yet. As long as she doesn't pinch Cheryl we're ok!

Yvonne came by on her lunch break and was talking to Cheryl. She had her laughing so hard! Of course when I got the camera out it wasn't quite the same but it was still cute!

Extra Workout

Yesterday we had to run some errands up town so I decided to just go home and get the stroller and walk since it was so nice out. We went to Alltel, the post office, back home to change a poopy diaper and then to the grocery store. Cheyenne sits in the back of the double stroller and Cheryl in her carrier in the front. While in the grocery store Cheyenne pushed on the front seat that Cheryl was in (on) and the tray popped. I put it back together but it didn't stay. I fixed it about 5 times in 2 blocks and then decided I didn't want to take the chance of Cheryl falling so I took her off and carried her and pushed the stroller. It was quite the workout for 3 blocks! Cheryl is heavy in the infant carrier but even heavier when trying to push a double stroller with Cheyenne and groceries in it! I definately got the extra exercise yesterday!

Killing 2 Birds with One Stone

I used to get to work around 4:50 so that I could do cardio and tan. Since both the girls have been coming to work with me I usually can't tan and don't have time because we don't get here until closer to 5:00. I've been doing a little more cardio since Cheyenne can walk around in there if she is awake. I do the ROM (a 4-minute machine) and then ride the bike. The other day, I thought, I bet I can feed Cheryl while I ride the bike. That gets 2 things out of the way at once! She doesn't seem to mind either! No one else is in there and the doors are locked so I don't have to worry about covering up. It works pretty well!

Another Yankee Fan

I decided to take some pictures of Cheryl in the Yankee dress we had for Cheyenne. It's a good thing I did because it's about too small.

Yankees are #1!

Cheyenne wanted to be in a picture!

Staci's Track at Lyons

These are some pictures of Staci running track at Lyons. I meant to post them several weeks ago but didn't.

She is the anchor leg in the 4x800.

Racing for the finish!

I don't remember the places since I waited so long to post it! Staci ran the 4x800, 4x100 and 800. They placed in all of them I'm just not positive on the places.

I get much better shots on my new camera!

Wilson vs. Haviland

Yesterday the girls and I attended our first Wilson Dragon softball game of the season. Wilson lost the first one in 9 innings 7-5 and won the second one 12-2 in 5 innings.

Brittany plays 3rd base. Here she is catching a fly ball and making the out.

We rode with my mom and backed the suburban up and sat in the back to stay out of the wind. Cheyenne decided she needed to dump out the box of Teddy Grahams.

Brittany batting. She had a few good hits. I'm not sure this was one of them though. This one didn't go far!

Cheryl enjoyed the game too!

26 Years Old

Thursday was my 26th birthday. Other than not being able to take a shower before I went to work, it was a good day. My mom and Brittany watched the girls for a couple hours while Scott and I went to Hutch that evening. We went out to eat at Chili's and then got a few things at Walmart. We decided to get some ice cream before we headed home so stopped at Dairy Queen. We got home about 9 and the girls were asleep. After mom and Brittany left we hit the sack. I think next time we'll go out on the weekend when we don't have to get up so early.

Backed Up

Yesterday morning Scott called me and asked if I hadn't seen the water on the floor in the bathroom. I said no. Evidentally, the toilet overflowed. Scott got is cleaned up before he went to work. When I got home yesterday afternoon, I went downstairs to use that bathroom and there was water all over that bathroom floor. I just started crying. We've already replaced the floor in the downstairs bathroom once because the toilet leaked. I knew Scott would be mad if he had to do it again. I called my mom and Scott and tried to get ahold of a plumber. We think the sewer is backed up. I couldn't get any good plumbers that could come out yesterday. There were some others that I could try but other people haven't been very pleased with their work so I didn't even want to try. Walton's said they could be here in the morning. My mom came in yesterday afternoon to see if she could help. There wasn't much she could do except stay with the girls while I ran up town to the bathroom and help me relax and not be so uptight. I appreciated that! I picked Cheyenne up from daycare around 1:30 and planned on coming home and taking a nap with her. Since that didn't happen she was pretty cranky. And so was I! Scott had to work on putting new breaks on the car yesterday evening and he didn't get home until after 8:00. Jeremy and Adria were kind enough to let Scott shower at their house. I ran over there to go to the bathroom real quick and then Scott went over there to take a shower. To make it worse, Scott has come down with a cold too. He has a very sore throat and just feels miserable. He didn't sleep much last night. He is staying home this morning until the plumbers get there. Hopefully that will help him get some sleep. I hope this doesn't end up being too big of a job!

Just Some Random Pictures of the Girls

Just thought I'd share a couple recent pictures of the girls with you.

Here's one of Cheryl smiling. She is starting to laugh now too. She's so cute!

All dressed up! I went through the tubs of clothes I had from Cheyenne and found several outfits that Cheyenne didn't wear very much. It was like shopping in my own house! I was even still in my jammies!

Cheyenne in her new hat and sunglasses.

I wore my hat to soccer on Saturday so Cheyenne wanted to wear hers!

Cheyenne likes to hold Cheryl!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK! NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

The Kansas Jayhawks won their first national title in 20 years! How exciting! I fell asleep shortly before halftime and woke up just in time to see the last 3 minutes of regulation and then overtime. I think that was the best part of the game! I can't imagine what it would have been like to have been in Lawrence last night! KU even cancelled classes today for everyone to celebrate (or sleep in!)

If you missed the game check out these highlights.

It's Back

Friday the girls both came down with coughs again. UGGH! I still had a refill on Cheryl's breathing treatment meds so I filled that and started giving them to her again.Luckily I hadn't taken the machine back to the hospital yet. Cheyenne has a hard time sleeping at night because she keeps coughing. I try to get her propped up but she likes to lay flat on her bed. She has her 2 year check-up today so we'll see what Debbie says. I'm anxious to see how much Cheyenne has grown today. She hasn't had a check-up since she was 18 months old. I have started coughing too. I'm so ready for it to warm up and hopefully get rid of this crud.

Cheryl Talking

Cheryl loves for people to talk to her. She already likes to engage in conversation! Here's a video of Wendy and Cheryl talking. I wish I new what she was saying!

Birthday Visitors

My mom, sister and grandparents came by last night to wish Cheyenne a happy birthday. She enjoyed showing off for them! They enjoyed watching her and getting to see Cheryl too!

The girls waiting for Daddy to get home.

Great Grandma and Grandpa gave Cheryl $100!

Hanging on to money already!

I got a video of Cheyenne counting to 10! She is getting so smart!

Happy Birthday Cheyenne!

Today Cheyenne is 2! Time has gone by so fast and she has grown so much. She amazes me everyday with the things she does. She talks so much and says new words every day. We really have to be careful what we say now because she picks it up as soon as you say it. I said crap one day and she repeated it as soon as it left my lips. She can even count to 10 (with our help, we say one she says 2, back and forth all the way to 10)!

Happy Birthday to my little girl!

Cheyenne's First Program

Last night Cheyenne had her first program. The daycare does a Spring program for all the kids, even the infants. Cheyenne did very well.

Walking in with her class.

Singing

And marching

Here is a video of them singing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. Sorry it's a little shaky. I couldn't help but laugh! She's so cute!

Cheryl's Baptism

Cheryl was baptized today. My sister, Brittany, and Scott's brother, Dustin, are her sponsors. She cried for awhile when Pastor was baptizing her and the water ran over her face but she did pretty good. We thank God that he has given us a wonderful daughter to care for. We ask that he watch over her while she is on this earth with us.

We didn't make it through church without messing up her gown. It was a good thing we took picture before church. Except for this one with Pastor.

Cheyenne's 2nd Birthday Party

We celebrated Cheyenne's 2nd birthday today. I can't believe my baby is 2! Time goes by so fast! She had fun opening presents and playing with her new toys. She liked playing with her new shoes too! She can take them off and on by herself.

She liked the glasses better on her head than on her face!

Showing us the clothes she got.

Happy Birthday Cheyenne!

Nana got Cheyenne a kitchen for her birthday. It is a talking, learning kitchen. It asks you to put certain things in the pan or on the cutting board. If you don't put the right thing it will let you know by saying, "I hate to be rude but that's not the right food". We had fun seeing what all it says! Cheyenne likes it too!

Big Smile

Cheryl has been smiling so much lately. I caught one this morning when I was changing her!
