Jayda Lynn Got TAGGED!!!

Jayda was tagged and we are to write 7 facts about her. So here is what I came up with.

#1. Jayda is DRAMATIC haha. No but really I think she has got a future in acting or some sort of performing.

#2. She will probably hate me for this some day, but she has always slept with one eye open! When she was a baby it would freak me out but I guess we are used to it now and its just really funny!! If you click on the picture you can see it better. :)

#3. Jayda is a sweet heart! She has her moments just like any other 5 year old but she is really kind. She always wants to be giving people something like money out of her piggy bank and making silly cards for every one just because.
#4. Jayda is a great big sister. I mean come on of course there is the constant "mom she has the book I was looking at", and the pestering and stuff. But truly she loves her little sissy!
They love to play together. #5. She has the most beautiful blue eyes! I dont know where they even came from but Im sure glad she lucked out!
#6. Her favorite foods are

Ketchup Tacos (grandma Vickis recipe), my home made banana bread, chocolate milk or

regular milk, and of course pizza!!

#7. Jayda is a ray of sunshine! She loves to sing! She is always going around the house singing these funny little songs she makes up. She loves to make people happy. She knows no strangers (kinda scary sometimes) but she can strike up a convo with any one any where! It is such a great attribute and Im sure it will be great for her later on in her life.

We love you Jayda!!!

We now tag Aaden, Tori, Jacob,Dra,Kyesun and any one else who thinks this looks like fun and wants to get the kiddos involved! :)

My sweet little thumb sucker

Mikelle is definitely one of those kids who never liked a pacifier, but will not go to sleep with out the aide of her thumb! Secretly..... I really love it! haha We are sadly thinking we should try to break her of it soon and I am not looking forward to that. She is so good with it, its to bad that society might think its a bad thing plus I dont want her to end up with crazy thumbs(Mel and Kara :) or crazy teeth. So any pointers on how to break the habit would be great! Lately she is also one of those kids who wont go to sleep with out mom or dad holding her and I was up to 3 am this morning trying to break her of that one before I finally gave up! haha

So here I am this afternoon trying to put us both down for a nap (I have to work tonight) and she was singing a lullaby with me and back to me and it was soooo cute, she is such a little sweet heart! I had my camera close by (YAE!) so I recorded her singing this it is really adorable, sorry you have to hear me in there but she wouldnt do it on her own. The other is a really cute pic of her and her daddy falling asleep the other night! See ya later

The last litter :)

Well I dont know about you guys, but my hubby sometimes thinks that he needs to have a say on what I put on this blog. haha Not even but I guess I can humor him today! :) j/k Honey.
So we breed german shorthair puppies and he's been telling me for weeks that I need to post some pics of our sweet little babies so here they are finally. We only have one left and I think we might have already sold her but if not Michael thinks we have room in our home for just one more dog. :) He is so funny with these guys. This was our mama dogs last time though and we are sad because she is the best and has awesome puppies. But now she can live out the remainder of her life in peace and quiet and with out bleeding saggy boobies! Hurray for Allie!

Hurray for Mothers!!!!

Well its getting close to mothers day and I just need to give my mother a shout out! She is such a wonder woman and I really appreciate her. Last week was a rough one for me, I ended up working 6 nights in a row and that was close to 65 hours! yuck. On Thursdays I usually dont have a baby sitter in the mornings so that I can sleep because I dont work Thursday nights. So any way I was driving home Thursday morning (night #5) and I couldn't stay in the lines, I woke up a few times to the waaaaaaaaa sound. Well I have a 30 minute commute home so 20 minutes into the drive I finally called my mom to tell her my dilemma. I needed to have Jayda to pre-school by 9 and picked up by 11 and I had quite a few other things I needed to accomplish that day. So that meant no sleep for me! :( So my mother sais "Get the girls up and ready and I will be there to pick them up at 8:30". I finally made it home (thank heavens) and my mom was there at 8:30 she took the girls and said she would bring them back later in the afternoon. I called and cancelled everything I had to do for the day and went to sleep at 9 am and didnt wake up untill 4 pm. I slept for 7 hours strait!!!! Ok so that might not sound like a lot but I normally get 4-5 hours a day and its usually broken sleep like and hour here and an hour there. I felt like a new woman! I just needed to say thank you, thank you, thank you to my mom because even though it is such a small thing it was a HUGE thing for me! She is so wonderful in so many ways and has helped me more than I could ever express! This was only one example! We love you so much mom! :) Thanks!!!!

Funny!!!!! And Fun!!!!!!!!

So Mikelle is starting to be a little bit sneaky. I was fixing Jaydas hair in my bathroom and couldnt find my hairspray. All of the sudden I could hear this spray sound, I knew Micky had my aerosol spray some where but I could not find her any where. I finally had to yell out that she was going to get a spankin when she starts to cry no, no, no. She was in the middle of my family room hiding under my quilts on the rack. It was sooo funny but I tried to keep a serious face so that she knew not to do it again. Well not 5 minutes later she came running out of my room with a girly thing covering her mouth dying laughing at herself. Oh my gosh I lost it there, it is way to hard to be upset with that girl!!!! It was so funny. They always keep us on our toes dont they. hahaha

Well I am so excited, I tried out for a production they are doing here in town back in January but I never heard back from the people in charge so I just figured I hadnt made it. Well a few nights ago I finally got a call telling me that I had been chosen for one of the main parts for "Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat"! I used to do plays and performances quite alot but I have been out of the loop for a while. I am really excited to get back into this kind of stuff. My family is going to hate it but I am grateful that Michael is being really supportive of me. As a mom some times it feels like all of your ambitions and things you would love to do get put on the back burner, so I am really happy to be getting this oppurtunity!

Mikelles 2nd Birthday!

Our baby girl is growing up way to fast. She turned 2 yesterday March 30th, and I have to admit, I am really sad. I know they grow up fast, but she is just doing all of these things that make her a big girl now (like potty-training herself) and I just realize she is not my baby any more. Its a little depressing. :( j/k We are so grateful to have this little, sweet, crazy ball of fire in our lives! I dont know what we would do with out her.

Well here is where it all began. Mom looking oh so stylish in stripes! haha I do not love being pregnant. These pictures are a little painful for me to look at.
This is one of my favorite pictures with me and Mikelle. She had the blackest hair and looked a little spanish or something because she had such dark skin. She was born in the evening on March 30 2006, she weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and was 20" long. We were immediatly in love with her!

This is another one of my favorites! The picture sais it all! :)

Micky had the chubbiest little cheeks! I still love to kiss on them!

I thought it would be fun to do a list of all the things we love about our little Ruby Mikelle Abbott!

*She is soooo wild

*She loves to "nuggle" with her "bankies" that have "ties"

*She is very naughty sometimes but cant stand to be in trouble

*She is very quick to forgive others and to say she is sorry to them

*She loves her daddy more then anything

*Her best friend is her sister and they love to play together

*Her favorite foods are oatmeal, bananas, cheese and soda (that ones dads fault)

*Her favorite thing to do is be a pretend mommy

There are so many more wonderful things but I dont have time to list them all, we love you Mikelle and are glad you had a great 2nd birthday!!!

Enough is Enough

Ok this is just gonna be a quick rant session so bare with me. I am done, I have gained almost as much weight as the 1st time I was pregnant (and im not pregnant) and its got to stop. I dont have very much energy, I feel like BLAHHH and I cant even get 3/4 of my jeans on any more and I have had it. I don't know if I just let my "Holiday Weight" start 6 months early and go over for like 3 months after or what but I need to really get a handle on my self so I am making a commitment now to knock it off. I am not going to starve myself or do any crazy out there diets but I am going to eat healthier foods and much smaller portions. My friend Ashley and I are going to run 2-3 miles three times a week and also play racquetball every saturday morning. My hubby and I are going to play in a coed volley ball league (not so much exercise but fun) and I am also playing womens volley ball 3 times a week (much more exercise and excitement). My goal is to lose 10-15 lbs, to fit in my pants again and this is going to sound weird but I want to be able to do the splits again so I need to work on my stretches. So I guess I am posting this for the world to see, to give myself that extra motivation because I really need it and who knows maybe I will help motivate some one else! :) I will keep you posted on the progress. Ps If any one has any good weight loss tips, good exercises or some yummy healthy recipes please share them with me, I really need help!!! Thanks so much. :) Tree
