I am back!!

Wow, has it ever been a long time since I have made an entry on my blog! I try to be consistent, but for some reason this gets put on the back burner of my to do list, my apologies!

Wyatt and Kaylee are growing so fast! Hard to believe that they are almost 21 months....which really means they are getting close to being 2!! WOW the time has gone by so fast! They are becoming such independent little people. They are trying to dress themselves, talking up a storm, they are big helpers (they actually help at times, or just make more work for me, but at least they are trying). Kaylee is such a big girl, she is beginning to show signs of being ready for potty training, and she is such kind soul. She is so generous (when she wants to be) she loves her "babies" and encourages her brother (sometimes forcefully) to do things.

Wyatt, he is a true boy for the most part...give him cars and he is happy :) He loves to be outside and playing, just as long as his hands stay clean! Getting dirt or anything on his hands seems to stress him out...we have managed to teach him o rub his hands together to get them clean from the dirt and grass!

I am amazed at how much they have learned in such a short period of time. They amaze me daily! I love watching their individual personalities develop...it is a true blessing being a mom and watching them grow up!

A few weeks back, we found out some amazing news! I am expecting!! This was quite the surprise as I never thought we could have more children! I am currently 10 weeks and 5 days along. I have been "blessed" with the wonderful all day sickness and complete lack of energy! Ahhh, the joys of the first trimester!

Here is our little bean!!
We have not yet told Wyatt and Kaylee that they are going to be a big brother and big sister, but we have been telling them that they have to be careful with mommies tummy! Soon we will tell them, but not to sure if they will understand until I have a bigger belly...time will tell!

So, we were told at the ultrasound that there is one baby, so no matter the sex, we will be set for everything from Kaylee and Wyatt. We have not decided as of yet if we will find out the sex of this one, we have a bit more time to decide.

Our due date for this newest addition is January 14, 2010. A new years baby! We are very excited and looking forward to holding the newest Mitchell :)

What we have been up to!!

In the last couple of weeks we have been rather busy!

Kaylee and Wyatt had their very first Dental appointment. Over all, this went fairly well. At first they both thought that sitting in the chair was a lot of fun, and loved the fact they received new toothbrushes!

Then the Hygienist looked on their mouths and brushed their teeth...well that was not too fun...both of them screamed! Kaylee went first, she was not a happy girl with this and Wyatt well he stood by his sister and watched and was trying to figure out what the heck was going on, and making sure that his sister was ok! Then it was Wyatts turn, he screamed as well when they looked in his mouth, counted the teeth, brushed his teeth and put fluoride on. Kaylee stood by Wyatt and watched at first, but as soon as he began to scream, so did she! As soon as Wyatt stopped, Kaylee followed.

Well that was a fun experience and we are good now for another 6 months :)

Then a couple of days ago it was time for haircuts! This was Kaylee's very first haircut. Over all she did amazing. She was a bit under the weather with a touch of a cold/teething but she was a trooper! She sat fairly still during the entire experience but she did not smile! With her new haircut she now has bangs and her hair is even all the way around. She looks amazing! She looks so grown up now, it is amazing what a new hair do does!!

For Wyatt, this was his second hair cut, and this round he was more curious! He tried to watch Erin cut his hair at the back which made things a bit tricky! But with me helping distract and hold his head a bit it worked :)

During the hair appointments the kids tried their very first lollipop! And they LOVED it! They had quite the sugar rush from them so those will be treats that come not to often right now! They had so much energy and were into everything so we played hard in hopes they would tire out and then they had a nap...only 1 hour tops..lol! So as much as they loved them, they will be limited :)

We have also been busy with cakes, I had a birthday cake to make last week, it was a Twilight cake, based on the book. I was very proud of the way that the cake turned out! It was a huge success!!

Next week, I have 2 birthday cakes...one is an Oilers design, and the other one is for a young girl and still need to finalize the design for that one. I am looking forward to seeing these cakes finished!

Tomorrow is Valentines Day. We hope that you all have a wonderful valentines day!

another good day

We have had a few good days around here, we have been playing alot, getting alot of cleaning done and I have even managed to pack up some more small clothes from the kids...it is amazing how fast that stuff accumulates. I think I am up to about 10 boxes of clothes that the kids have outgrown and some of that I am sad to say they never even had a chance to wear!!!

Today, I rearranged Wyatts room a bit today to accomodate all of the toys they have recieved in the last few months! He seemed to like it and well both the kids helped me switch things up...so it took me a bit longer but atleast they were helping!

Then in the afternoon, I went to my moms house and that was a pleasant visit, I was able to see my sisters, mom, and neice and nephews. The kids all had a great time and they played until we left at 9pm!!!

It has been such a great day and heres to hoping that they will sleep well tonight!!!

Out and about today...

So today we met a friend of mine up at our local Walmart store...I needed to pick up some diapers, pop and milk, along with a few sewing supplies. Well within about 20 minutes, we made it to McDonalds where we all had a bite to eat and then we continued shopping. The kids were amazing. Near the end of the outting they were beginning to get a little bit fussy, but to be expected since we were heading into nap time.

On the way home both Kaylee and Wyatt fell asleep, and it only takes me about 10 minutes or so to get home from walmart. I was able to get them into the house quickly, but not fast enough for themto remain sleeping. Kaylee was fed and put in her crib, I am hoping that she will go back to sleep but as things are right now she is busy singing/talking/playing away in her crib. Wyatt ate and was asleep with in minutes! I am hoping to get at least another hour break...but not too sure my sweet daughter will allow this...we will see!

continual teething!

So lately it seems the most common phrase said is...ugh, this darn teething! Both Kaylee and Wyatt are continually teething it seems. Just before Christmas Wyatt was working on 8 teeth at once, they would come up a bit and then go back down, Finally 4 of them came in, and we are still waiting for some more of his molars to come through. Over all he is dealing with things rather well, just a bit more fussy at times. He is great at taking tylenol for the pain when needed...he thinks taking stuff from a medicine dropper is the best, he actually gets excited!!!

Kaylee is working on some top and bottom molars, she has not been to bad either, well during the day anyways..night time is another story for her...she has been waking up screaming and it has been taking me upto 2 hours to get her back to sleep. We have tried letting herself cry herself back to sleep, but has not been too successful for us. I am looking forward to when the teething is finished.

We went to an indoor playground the other day with one of my friends and her two little ones, and Kaylee and Wyatt had so much fun, there were mats to play on, slides, little play houses, there were even exersaucers for younger babies! They both had such a great time, they played for 2 hours and no fussing at all (well only when they needed a diaper change!). I will be visiting this place regularily, i am planning for at least once a week!

That is it for now as Wyatt is awake again :( those darn teeth. It is time to give him some tylenol...he has had none all day and I was hoping to keep it that way, but my little man needs some sleep...and mommy too!!

Will update soon!!

We are back!

Well it has been about 2 months or even longer since I have posted on the blog! I am having a terrible track record with this!!

Kaylee and Wyatt are now 15 months old. They are both walking, running, climbing, finding all kinds of trouble to get into!

Kaylee is really improving her vocabulary! She is also beginning to make animals sounds and gosh darn is it so cute!!

Wyatt says a few words, but his sister is definately the one with the goft of the gab!!

We made it through Christmas and survived! This is such a busy time of year, with so much family there are many outting that are done. The kids got spoiled for Christmas, and seemed to love every minute of it!!! At first they were not to sure about the opening of presents, but after a couple they got the hang of it...then it bacame impossible to keep them entertained in opening the gifts, they wanted to play!!!

Kayne and I bought them each their own little arm chair for Christmas and they love them. I am so happy that we decided on this, they are getting so much use out of them. Then Kaylee also got some new babies that she adores, clothing and books. Wyatt was a happy camper with all of his new cars, and he also received some new clothes, and books. They both recieved other toys and items as well. There was so much for them to choose from that they were getting really fussy and overwhelmed with what to play with, so to fix that issue, I put a binch of stuff away and rotate the toys they play with. This way it seems to help them focus and they always have a new selection to choose from!

For Christmas, we made most of our gifts. I made reversible placemats with embroidery and matching table runners for several people and then I made 1st year collages for many people as well. It took alot of time to get it all done...worked on everything for about 2 months, but it was well worth it, everybody loved the gifts!!!

I am in the middle of getting some things up and running now...cake business and sewing business, so I will try more effectively to update this blog. I am thinking that I will be more consistent as I am setting up a couple of more blogs that will need to be updated regularily so I will do them all at the same time :)

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and a Great New Year! We hope that 2009 is a great year for everyone!!!!
