Trick or Treat 2009

PEBBLES and BAM BAM

Delanie really liked getting dressed in costume, Kadin was just ok with it. During the day we went to the Fall Festival and walked around. They did a really good job and didn't complain one time, but they were scared of most of the other costumes, even the big ELMO. Later that evening we went Trick or Treating and they wouldn't say trick or treat but they did say Thank You everytime! I think their favorite is suckers.

Pumpkin Carving 2009

This year was totally different from last year. Kadin didn't want anything to do with the pumpkin guts. Delanie couldn't keep her hand out of the pumpkin, but they both liked playing in it once it was in the bucket.

Pictures and Pumpkin Patch 2009

We had fun at the Pumpkin Patch. At first they act so shy and just stare at everyone. They are getting so big and talking so much. They ask lots of questions and want to know everything. I was going through Cole's clothes in his room so Kadin and Delanie were in there with me, I let them play Demolition Derby on the PlayStation and Kadin told me "Mommy, I having FUN" The happy look on his face was priceless. Delanie acts like the wild child in the evenings and Darrin and I can't figure out where this came from. I've noticed she does it when he gets home, so I thing she is just so excited to see Daddy and loves to show off and get all the attention! We all have been good and hopefully stay healthy this winter. Hope everyone else stays healthy out there.

This is Labor Day Weekend, I took them to a washer tournament/truck/tractor pull. They had a blast and were soooo good. In this picture Kadin is watching a truck pull and he would not get out of the stroller, all he cared about was the trucks and tractors.

This is my Best Friends husband, (Uncle Tim/Cookie) I think Delanie made him have baby fever!

Big Beds!

Kadin and Delanie are doing so good. They are still happy about going to bed. They stay in their own bed all night. They take good naps still, I just couldn't ask for better sleepers. In the mornings they come wake me up and most of the time we snuggle in my bed. On these dark rainy days they sleep till 8:30-9:00am.

Summer Fun 2009

Here are some pictures. Kadin and Delanie are doing great. They love being outside and playing. They love to ride their little big wheels and crash them, they love working on derby cars with daddy, and they have 2 new kittens they love to play with. Hopefully soon they will start going potty in the big potty, they don't show much interest in it yet. And this weekend we will be putting them in toddler beds.

Happy 2nd Birthday Delanie

Dear Delanie,

Happy Birthday my special girl! You are 2 years old now. These past 2 years have flown bye so fast. You are getting so big and you have no fear. You've been in a cast and you've had your first bloody nose already. You never let anything keep you down. You are always smiling and goofing off. You love to laugh and make others laugh. You also love to aggravate your brother. You love Elmo and love to dance. You can dance to all music and try to sing all songs. You have started to be lovie dovie with me, but you can't sit still very long. You are also very polite and say bless you, please, thank you, your welcome, and I love you. When daddy walks in the door you run to him and try to tell him all about your day! You love to play in the water and you had a blast when we went to the pool. You have went potty in the big potty a couple of times. You also love riding your bikes with Kadin and crashing them. At your Child Development appointment you blew everyone away! You did way more than expected and you did it fast! You can say over 85 words and you also say 3 word sentences. Dr. Bob was also impressed with you! Your weight was 22.6 lbs. you are 32 3/4 in. tall and your head was 46.2 cm. Delanie, mommy and daddy love you very much!

Happy Birthday Delanie

Love You

Mommy

Happy 2nd Birthday Kadin

Dear Kadin,

Happy Birthday my special boy. You are 2 years old now. I can't believe how fast these 2 years have went. It feels like yesterday you were so tiny. You are growing so fast and learning all kinds of things. You repeat everything we say, especially the last word. You are still my lovie dovie boy though. You love to give me hugs and kisses for no reason. You don't really like to kiss and hug sissy though. You are very polite and say excuse me, thank you, please, bless you, your welcome, and you are starting to say yes and no mam and sir. Your favorite thing to do is play with cars, trucks, and tractors. You will sit at the dining room table playing cars for the longest time, as long as Delanie leaves you alone. You love to scream Bye Bye to daddy when he leaves, it's like a screaming match. We took you to the pool and you were a little leery at first but at the end you didn't want to leave. You also love to look at pictures and you love to watch racing and crash (demolition derbies) on tv. You can say over 85 words and you say 3 word sentences, the Child Development staff were very impressed. I think you are going to be a lefty like mommy. You have a very good arm and daddy is very excited about that. Dr. Bob was also very happy with how well you are doing. Your weight was 25 lbs. You are 33 in. tall, and your head is 48.5 cm. See I told you, you're getting BIG! Kadin, mommy and daddy love you very much!

Happy Birthday Kadin

Love You,

Mommy

We went to Darrin's Aunt Theresa's wedding reception and Delanie danced like this the entire night. She finally sat down when it was the last song. She will be the life of the party when she grows up. That means major trouble for us!!!

Sprinkler Video

Here is a video of them playing in the water. They love this ball.

Sprinkler Fun and Update on Delanie

Kadin and Delanie love the sprinkler. They run up to it and just giggle, it is the cutest thing to watch.

I love this picture, she couldn't point and shoot the other direction so she kept shooting herself.

As you can see the cast isn't slowing her down one bit!!!

On June 11 we took Delanie back to the orthopedic pediatrician. They took the cast off and re-x-rayed it. They still could not see that it was broken anywhere. (great) They are not sure why she wouldn't walk or stand on it, but being in the cast for 3 weeks must have fixed the problem. They did not put another cast on her, we just have to keep an eye on her for 3 weeks to make sure she isn't crawling or acting like it hurts. Delanie did awesome through the whole thing. But when we got done and put her in the car she wanted her cast back on, go figure. I put it in her room and she points it out to me everyday.

This is the day Delanie got her cast off. June 11, 2009

Delanie's trip to ER

Delanie went to the ER on Wednesday, May 20, 2009. We were blowing bubbles in the front yard and she was chasing them and fell. She usually never cries when she falls but she did this time. She wouldn't stand on her right leg at all. I took her to Progress West and they did and x-ray, there wasn't a radiologist to read the x-ray and the the Dr. couldn't see a break but to be on the safe side they put a half cast on it from the toes to above the knee. She was so good the entire time. She didn't cry for the x-ray or the casting. All the nurses and Dr. couldn't believe how good she was. The next day her pediatrician sent us to a pediatric orthopedic at St. John's Mercy. He said more than likely there is a hairline fracture in the tibia bone below the knee. He put a new cast on that goes right below her knee. She will go back on June 11 to re x-ray and the DR. said more than likely you will be able to see the fracture then. I don't know if they will put another cast on at that time. Delanie is doing fine with it. It only took a day for her to get used to it and she is running with it. I new it wouldn't slow her down. I knew if either of them were going to break something I figured it would be her but not before she turned 2.

Kadin's trip to ER

Well Kadin went to the ER for the first time on May 2, 2009. He has a really hard time having Bowel Movements. He was in a lot of pain and trying to push for an hour. We had tried everything, juice, mineral oil, suppositories, Activia Yogurt everyday, raisins and so on. Well this particular day he pushed and pushed and still nothing. Well then we noticed he wouldn't bend his left leg. It was almost like he locked it up pushing so hard. I took him to Progress West and they did an x-ray of his belly and it was full. They still have no clue what was wrong with his leg. I now have started him on Miralax and so far it is working.

Kadin & Delanie Hangin Out

Here are some pictures of Kadin and Delanie. Cole's MawMaw Terry stayed at the house with her dog Maggie and Kadin and Delanie loved getting in her pen.

I left the chips on the counter and they apparently could reach them and made a huge mess. So we ended up just having a picnic on the floor and eating lunch.

They were having fun with Aunt Sheila.

Gettin some lovin.

They know they aren't supposed to be on the chairs, can you tell.

Easter 2009 Cole, Kadin, & Delanie

Easter 2009

This was Easter morning. I think they all loved their baskets.(thanks aunt Jimmie) We had a little egg hunt at our house that morning so they would know what to do at Grandma's house later that day. Delanie was a pro at it and Kadin thought they were balls so he wanted to throw them at first.

This is at Grandma's House
