Kilee

(Christmas dress from guama Toni)

Kilee is 6 months old!!

She had her check-up today, and although she is skinny she is doing just fine! She is growing and she is doing everything physically that she is suppose to do.

Her stats are as follows: Height 25 1/2 inches, Weight 13.6 lbs, Head 42 1/2 cm.

Those put her in the 50% for height,10% for weight, and 50% for head. She is little on the lite side, but all my kids (with mike) have been and what else can we expect. The Dr. says not to worry and just keep doing what we are doing. Just loving her!!

She also had all her shots and did fairly well, she needed lost of hugs and lots of holding today. I was off all day and I was more then willing to hold her. Its just so sad to see her sit there almost bored looking. But everytime I tried to play with her, or put her down she cried. Mike was a big help and luckily for me she loves her daddy, or I wouldn't have been able to do what I needed to get done!!! Kilee is such a good baby and for the most part sleeps through the night. She goes to bed between 7-8 and sleeps until 5 unless she had cereal for dinner then she will sleep until 8-9. So I cant really complain, she never really cries and for the most part is just a sweet baby!! We all love her so much and I am so happy she came to us!!

I have lots of pics of Kilee and my kids from a girl I work with. She is thinking of getting into taking pics and they turned out cuter then the ones I could have taken, so in the next few posts I will send a few out there. The ones on my side bar are also from her!! I think she did a very good job and all but my boys did too. Shiloh (my friend) has boys the same age as mine and really they just wanted to play!! Thanks again Shiloh!!

Update after the Crazy New Year

OK so it has been so long since I have posted but what can I say. Christmas was actually really good. I have to thank Debbie for that. She was so nice to help us pay for Christmas and then let us pay her back. THANKS DEBBIE. Anyway I ended up having and unexpected 2 weeks off at Christmas. I got a really bad infection on my stomach called MRSA Staph. For those of you that don't know what it is, it is an Antibiotic Resistant Staph infection. It was about the size of a softball. Needless to say I had to be off work since I could barely walk. I started to feel better about the Saturday after Christmas, which was great because we got to spend time with Greg and his family. Poor Debbie was really tired of seeing us, but that's what happens when you have a nicer house (sorry Debbie.) New Years came and went we were at Debbie's house and played a few games with the kids. I ended up falling asleep with Hunter on Debbie's bed, then I moved to the couch.
Now life is somewhat back to normal. I am back to work and trying really hard to keep Kilee from getting sick. I took her to the Dr. on Monday for what I thought was an ear infection. Well as he was listening to her lungs he said they didn't sound good. He did and RSV test on her and that was negative. He then told us because the air quality was so bad to keep her in the house as much as possible. She has another appt. next week so hopefully she will be better and cleared up.
As for the rest of the kids Hunter has finally gotten over a major ear infection, which also turned out to be MRSA. He is wild and crazy as ever. His new love is bowling and GIRLS. It is really kind of funny because he has a girl in his primary class that he "Loves." That's what he says, "hey there is Abby, I loves her. " Every Sunday he says that really loud!!!

Brock has been fine as far as health goes. He has been having a really hard time getting up and going to school. Which is frustrating and I worry a little bit, but his teacher has said that he is right were he is suppose to be learning wise. I just think it crazy that he has to be to the bus stop by 7:25. I mean really the suns not even up yet!!!

Kenzie has been a teenage girl. She has been trying really hard to keep up with her school work, but also have a social life. She has been doing a little babysitting and earning her own money. This has given her some advantages as to what she gets to go do, since my money is really tight. She has been really good at helping me and loves her little sister. She likes the boys to, just not as well. Its easy to love Kilee since all she does is smile at you and is content to let you hold her.

Well I hope this year is as good as the last or better for all of you. For me it just better be better!!!

new posts.........(dont read if you are going to be offended)

BAH HUMBUG!!!!!!

So, I have been told by a few that I need to post some new stuff. Seeing as how we have no new news I am not sure what to post. I guess I could post that Mike still has No Job, But nobody wants to hear that. I could post that I am just like my mom and HATE Christmas, but then you would all think that something was wrong with me. Now I know your all going to ask why I hate Christmas so here it is. I hate Christmas because, ever since I could remember it was just a time of stress. I remember my mom always yelling at us that we were ungrateful for this or don't deserve that. Now that I am a mom I find myself doing the same. I also hate the whole gift thing. We have never had the money to buy what is wanted for our kids, yet always find a way to get them at least one thing they want. I just hate the stress of trying to find it and deciding what to get. Then you have the decorations, I hate the mess of getting them out. The mess it makes in finding the room to put the tree up. UGH!!!! I guess I shouldn't be this way, but I am my mothers, daughter!!!!! Did I mention my birthday is right after Christmas and on my sisters birthday..... and for those of you who don't know, I come from a family of 8 kids!

I know some of you will say that Christmas isn't about the gifts. Or that I need to get back to the true meaning of Christmas, but lets get real you all have felt this way at one point in your life. Besides try explaining it to my 6 year old why Santa isn't coming. I think from now on every year right after Thanksgiving I am going to become Jehovahs witness. (that's just a joke)

As for a post we are all fine. We are still alive, but wishing we could get rid of these sore throats that keep coming and going. Hunter had his eardrum break a few days ago and it now keeps draining. He will see the ENT on Monday for that. Brock has been fighting something, needless to say he may not pass the first grade because of all the school he has missed. The only one who hasn't been sick is sweet Kilee. She has been good to me and sleeps for 8 hours a night. The only problem is it starts at 7pm.

Well Merry Christmas to you all, hope you got the right present for your kids!

The cutest and craziest kids ever...............

Kilee is getting so big she loves the kids and all the attention she gets! She has a very cute bond with each of the kids. She also has Mike wrapped around her finger!

This is the pretty dress that Grandma Arnes got for her. She looks so cute in it. Kilee however needed a nap when this picture was taken!

This is what happens when your afraid of light, but want lights!!!

Yeah for Kenzie!!


This is Hunters new best friend! The dog seems to get lost every now and then. But by the way Hunter hold her, you would to!

Just a cute Picture of Kilee!!!!

(Kenzie and Kortney made the flower on her head, we have tons of them)

Kilee is 4 months old...........

Pictures by Aunt Susan!

So Kilee is 4 months old and a very good baby! She is so good at just being......She is starting to chew on things. Her hands are her favorite. She also LOVES the TV, I took her with me to the theater, it was so funny to watch her eyes go so big, and she just stared. She is still a tiny little thing but my kids always are. She weighs 11 lbs (10%), 23 3/4" long (25%), head is 40 1/2 cm (25%). She loves her brothers, and smiles so big when they talk to her. I think Brock is going to be her favorite which is good because Kenzie and Hunter have a special bond!

The Movie and My feelings about it!

OK so I went and saw "Twilight" tonight (thanks Steph, I don't think I would have gone had you not asked) So here are my thoughts, I think that Edward was way to pretty for a guy. I know he was suppose to be gorgeous, but to me that means a little facial hair and muscles. Plus, I am not really into blonds, and what was with the long hair sticking up in the front? Maybe because he traveled so fast that's how it looked? Anyway, I do think that Bella was way cute, and the rest of the cast was very well chosen. I know Aunt Lori you are going to hate me but..........Jacob was SO CUTE!!!! I just have a thing for dark hair and skin. I also agree with her that the scenery was way nice, Mike may see it just for that (I don't think I could sit in a tree though.)

Breaking News!!!!

You heard it here first (unless you were watching the news to)! they are going to make the next book "New Moon." YEAh for me that means more JACOB!!!!

Hunter turns 4!

Here is him and his Sponge Bob cake, Yeah cake!!!

Hunter playing with some of his toys!

Blowing out the candles (he really was happy!)

His most favorite thing BOWLING!!

I think Brock was happier about this present then Hunter was, he does love these gloves (if that's what you call them)

Hunters Birthday is really today, but it is to hard for the family to all get here on a Wed. night so we had his party on Sunday. It was a lot of fun and a lot of people. I had been sick all the week before and going to work so it was kinda just thrown together. So sorry if you didn't get an invite and wanted to come the only people that got invited were the ones that asked about it. I am so bad!!! It was a fun day, I made barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, a salad and chips. Of course we also had cake and ice cream. Hunter was so excited and could hardly wait to blow the candles out. He started asking about his birthday after his cousin Maddy's birthday (which was the 25th or so of Oct.) I just cant believe he is 4 already! He is such a good boy and so nice (most of the time) He is so solid, he only weighs 5 lbs less the Brock and can take Brock down anytime he wants. He is going to be our sports player, he loves football and while we were at Wal-Mart he found some baseball helmet. Well he decided that they were football helmets instead and went and found a football. We thought we had lost him, but nope he was playing football all by himself in the isle. It was so cute!! For his birthday he got a lot of great present and he loves them all!!!!

Thanks to everyone for coming and maybe next year I will be better prepared!!!!!(I wouldn't hold my breath though)
