Happy Easter

Growing up my mom always made or bought my sisters and I an Easter dress, I have decided to keep that tradition with my kids. But I haven't made any yet, just bought them. This is a picture of the kids before we went to church. They are both getting so big I can't believe it.

The kids and I went and spent part of the weekend at my sisters house. My mom and dad and other sister were there as well. "Grandma" wore all the kids out with several activities. The kids got to color eggs, have an easter-egg-hunt, and make cut out cookies. Needless to say I think everybody needed a vacation from the vacation, but we all had a blast. Thanks Mom and Michelle for planning such a fun weekend, we'll have to do it again sometime.

Kaylee with her cousins after the egg hunt-showing off all the eggs they had found. Way to go guys.

What We've Been up to the last Month.

Kaylee needed a new bed since Tyler needed the crib. We decided to get a bunkbed. It can be taken apart and made into 2 twin beds for when Tyler gets big. For right now Kaylee sleeps on the top. It is also nice to have another twin bed in case someone comes and stays with us (if Kaylee doesn't keep them awake all night by talking to them).

Every-once-in-awhile I am lucky enough to catch photos like these. The one above is my favorite. Kaylee is so good with Tyler I even over-heard her telling him ,one time when he was crying , "It's ok Ty's I'm here", I am very lucky that she is so good with him. We just have to watch her that she doesn't try to pick him up by herself

More of What We've Been Up To the Last Month!!

This has just recently been Kaylee and Tyler's favorite place to lay. Tyler likes that Kaylee is so close to him and Kaylee just likes the feeling of being the big sister.

Tyler is now officially 8 weeks today. He is getting so big. He is now to the cooing stage. We all enjoy trying to make him smile, which isn't very hard to do because he is a very smiley baby.

Kaylee loves laying on the floor too. This is what the kids and I do in the evenings on the weekends, since it is just the three of us. Kaylee likes watching her "buggies" (her nickname since she was a baby) show and eating popcorn.

Kaylee loves to play with play-doh. Her favorite thing to do is to make different things that she can wear such as: this mustache, earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace. We even made some homemade play-doh the other day and she thought that was pretty great.

Here's another picture of Tyler. He loves to sit in this chair (I think because it vibrates), and just look around at everyone. He can tell our voices and so he looks around the room to find that person. All-in-all it's been a great month. I have gone back to work now for about 2 days a week. Which is perfect, it allows me to get out of the house two days a week. I love being a mom and am greatful for every moment I have with my kids.

He's Here!!

It's official he's here. After being on modified bed-rest since Thanksgiving; Tyler Steven Eddington was born on January 29, 2009 at 3:10 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. I was induced at 8:00 that morning. I had pretty much a normal delivery except for the fact that I went from being dilated to a 4 to being complete in about 45 minutes. I was worried there for a minute that the doctor might not make it to the delivery at all. I know it's only been a little over a week, and a little overwhelming at times, but I'm still very excited to be a mother of two and I'm still enjoying every minute of it. Kaylee and Steven are excited to have him here too, and both are very protective of him. Everybody thinks he looks like Steven and I would have to agree. Anyway, here's some pictures so you can see what he looks like, see what you think. There will be more to come soon.

More December Pictures

Steven has contracted with our condos to push snow with his four-wheeler. Since we got so much snow in December he had to rent a skidster to pile the snow up higher. I don't know who had more fun Steven or Kaylee.

Here is Kaylee opening presents on Christmas morning. She got a cabbage patch doll, two barbies, some blocks and a bunch of smaller toys.

Kaylee asked for a bike from Santa. She got a Dora bike. She loves to ride it around the house, since it's still too cold to ride outside. She can't quite pedal yet, but she's learning.

This is her reaction to everything Christmas morning. She saw her bike right off and went straight for it.

Steven and Kaylee went sledding. Afterward, we couldn't get Kaylee to go in the house because she was having so much fun.

December at a glance

Kaylee had several chances to play in the snow. Here is one of these times. She couldn't even move because I had bundled her up so much. Regardless she had a really fun time.

Kaylee got two chances to see Santa Claus, the first time was when we got to ride on the Polar Express. She got to talk to Santa and tell him what she wanted for Christmas and then he gave her a bell.

This was her reaction when she first saw Santa. I was a little nervous that she would start crying. But she even hollered out as soon as he walked into the train car. She said, "Santa come see me."

She got to ride the Polar Express with her cousins Logan, Hunter, and Kade. They all had so much fun.

This picture was taken when we went to get Christmas trees. It made it nice to have the four-wheeler with us, that way Kaylee didn't have to walk so far.

Kaylee's New Room

We have been wanting to paint Kaylee's room for a while now. So Steven spent all one day working on it. We painted it white and purple and put a princess border and princess stickers on the walls. She loves her new room. In fact for the first few days we couldn't get her to leave her room. She was so proud, she kept pointing to the walls and saying daddy did it. If anyone comes to visit she makes sure that is the first thing they do is go and see her room. So thanks "dad" it looks great and your little girl loves it.
