The Past Year!

Happy New Year Everyone, I can not believe how fast 2010 went!! This year has been a good one! And can't to see how 2011 will top it!! Trevor and I decided that we wanted to add to our family! So we got a puppy and named her Kipper! Oh was that not what you were thinking I would say?! We decided we would try for another baby!! In February we learned that we were expecting baby #3 and couldn't be more excited! Well with that said I will give you a little run down of each of us!!
Trevor- Turned another year older, he is now 25 and quarter of a century old!! He is still working for Maricopa County Sheriff Office as a Detention officer! He just celebrated 5 years with them in October! He is still enjoying his job and still thinking about promoting once the opportunity is available! Trevor loves being outdoors and went on a couple big game hunts this year too! He did pig hunt in February with no luck and then did an Elk hunt in December and again no luck. Trevor has just been working hard and being a great Husband and Father!!
April- I too celebrated another year of getting old!! :) The big 2-5!! I am still staying at home with our children and I babysit a few children to help support our family so we can at least see Trevor some what during the week!! :) I been enjoying the outdoors too but playing with the kids and going for walks/jogs!! I also got pregnant with our 3rd baby in February and had her in November!! (you will have to wait for Kyleigh's section for more details!!) I also started doing Preschool with Carsyn and what a smart boy he is!
Carsyn- He turned 4 this past year and looking more and more like his daddy! :) He loves to read books and learn new things, do anything crafty, play outside and just be WILD!! He has impressed us with how smart he is and how fast he learns to do things!! He loves doing Preschool with me and loves a challenge! He is a great big brother to his sisters and loves to help them however he can!
Lilyan- She turned 2 this year and she is our Little Firecracker! She keeps us on our toes.. she has to learn everything for herself even if it means bumps and bruises!! She keeps us entertained with her cute and bubbly personality! We started potty training her around April and she had it mastered by time she turned 2 in May and now she only wears a diaper at night but she almost has that mastered!! :) Now if we could break her from sucking her darn thumb! She is a great sister to her brother and baby sister. She loves to follow her Big brother around! He is her best friend!! She also ADORES her baby sister!! :)
Kyleigh Rose- Our newest addition! Born Novemer 9th 2010 at 139pm weighing in at 9lb 1oz and 22in long!! She was almost a week over due but her precious face made the wait worth it!! :) She is such a happy and good baby! She is growing and growing everyday! She is now up to 13lbs!! She has changed so much in the just the few weeks she has been here with us and we love watching her learn new things!! She loves to smile and coo at us! And loves her big brother and sister!!
Well that is our world in a nut shell!! Hope you all had a wonderful 2010 and hope 2011 is even better!! We love you all! Happy New Years!!

Preschool

So I been slacking on blogging about preschool... when we hit 9 weeks we took a break for a couple weeks since I was getting closer to my due date with Kyleigh. Well we started back up and he picked up were we left off as if we never stopped!! Carsyn is so darn smart!! He seriously impresses Trevor and I everyday. He is up to knowing and reading 19 sight words. We added this to our agenda. We learn 5-8 new words each week and do them 3 days a week. He has such an awesome memory it is nuts. I am not sure where he gets it but sure hope it helps him do awesome when time for school. Which we have decided to go ahead and put him in public school for now. I think he needs the break from home and he really wants to go to school. :)

I will post pictures from this week preschool stuff on Friday and then get back into doing it each week here on out!! If you are reading this you most likely see post I put on facebook So not gonna sit here and upload previous weeks. I am just to lazy to do it today! LOL.

Kyleigh Rose 2 months old

Kyleigh had a doctor appointment last week and she is doing amazing! She weighs 13lbs and is 24 2/3in long. She is such an happy and good baby!! She LOVES to smile!! She put herself on a routine, Every night around 730pm she will want to eat, have a bath and then MUST be swaddled then she falls asleep on her own. Now you ask is it us who makes her be swaddled.... Nope she has to have it that way. She will be super crabby until you wrap her up tight and then it will be seconds later she is passed out!! I am so grateful to have such beautful and wonderful children!!

Things Kyleigh is doing at 2 months
