Old Saint Nick

So we went to see Santa sunday afternoon and it didn't go so well! Kaylee was all excited and ready to see santa but when the time came she let us have it! Poor baby was so scared. But we did get a pic with me kaylee and santa, maybe we'll try again before christmas.

No way will I sit on him! LOL

Only with my mommy.....I guess

Merry Christmas

Another BIG milestone........POTTY Time

Kaylee did, she went POTTY in her chair for the first time this morning. OMG I was/am so very proud of her and happy. I know we have a long way still but she did and all by herself no asking by me or taking her to the potty. After a couple of failed tries by me to potty train her I said....ok she will do it in her own time. I'm so glad I let her decided when she was ready, so much easier and I know that she understands what to do this way.
I was just changing her diaper and getting her dressed this morning. She got up and took off as usual(hahaha)running naked. I did say you can potty if you want, cause she did want to put a diaper on. She said "o ta I will" and ran to her potty. I though ok she'll just sit there and then say no I fine as she normally does! hahaha So I go finish getting ready for work and start the car. I come back in the house and she runs out and says ick wash hands, fingers. I look and her fingers are wet and I knew right away she either pee'd or got in the toilet. I ran in there and she had PEE PEE'd. I just jumped up and down and said good girl Kaylee, big girl, I"m so proud of you....you peeeeeeed! LOL Then we danced around the house and got her some snacks. We'll see when she goes again.....still no pushing just when she feels she wants to!!!

EDITED: She has pee'd several times today and seems to really like doing it! WOOHOO! Maybe soon she will tell me when she needs to go. I'm so proud of her!

A Day of THANKS

HUGS to Everyone!

What I'm Happy for and sooooo VERY Thankful for!!

Kaylee and Jason - they are both the light of my life and the reason I love waking every morning! I love hearing the sweet "MOMMY MOMMY"every morning no matter what time it is! hahaha! I love feeling Jason's kiss and touch in the morning and hearing him say "I love you"

My parents and brother - I just adore my mom,dad,brother and stepfather! They are ALL such wonderful people and I'm so blessed they are MY parents and my brother.

MY LIFE - I LOVE my life............I'm happy and very content. I love all we have and I look forward to everyday! I might not have it all.......but I have whats most important......more love than anyone could ask for.

My Inlaws - I'm blessed to have a wonderful extented family! My SIL is great and my niece is the best! My MIL is sweet and quite funny and I'm just happy my FIL is feeling better this year.

So many thanks I could go on and on!

**** Just a lil extra hear..........Bless my grandpa for his first holiday without my grandma. She is so missed and its still so unreal that she's not with us!
LOVE YOU GRANDMA!

EDIT:
Just a good very precious pic I wanted to share also. Thanksgiving night was the first time is FOREVER it seems that Kaylee layed in my arms and fell asleep like an infant! I LOVED it! What a wonderful end to a very THANKFUL day!

My new Plan and its exciting! hahaha

I'm very excited! I was just offered a nanny position that I accepted very happily. I will be caring for an 11mon old lil girl here in town. I am able to take Kaylee with me also............how perfect! I will have the holidays off and the summer, the mommy is a teacher. Starting next year there will be a new baby also he/she is due in April. I start tomorrow and just can't wait! Tomorrow the little girl will be here at our house but thurs I will start at their house.

I'm also still looking into dental assisting classed at Ivy Tech but they are not excepting applications until the spring, I just missed the cut off a couple weeks ago for winter classes. The nanny position fits so well with our family. I will be able to be with Kaylee during the day and then when school starts will not miss her so much in the evening when I have to leave for class.......know what I mean.

If the family that hired me is reading......thank you for this opportunity! I'm very excited about caring for your lil princess.

Big Girl Bed

Kaylee has been in her cute toddler bed for 3 nights now and is doing awesome! We took her crib out the other day and thankfully haven't had to put it back in! We tried converting her crib to the daybed but no rail fits it so she could fall out and did once! So after two tries of that we decided to just get a toddler bed. Its a bit sad to see her room with no crib, there has been in a crib in that room since I was pregnant with Tyler and Erin in 2005! Its sad but happy also to know our baby is growing up! I liked the crib cause I felt like I still had my baby! :) But potty training is coming next and we felt it would be a good idea for her to be able to get up when she needed........WHEN she decides to go potty! So here are some pics of the big girl room now and out sweet girl getting her beauty rest.....not that she needs it! hehehe

Missed so much already

A VERY SAD DAY! Love you grandma

Today was a very sad day for our family! My grandma Spurrier past away unexpectedly this afternoon. I'm so very numb right now
I received a called at 12:30am that grandma had had a heartattack and was at the hospital. When I got there she was in surgery and they were trying to clear her arteries. The were successful in doing so but there still was too much damage. Her heartattack was too bad and she suffered brain damage. I sit with her praying she would wake up and give me that wonderful smile.........gosh it didn't happen! She went to heaven around 3pm. She is at peace now but all I want is my grandma back.
I loved her dearly! Who will I call when I need help cooking, sewing or just my grandma to talk to! I don't know what to do right now but cry. I know my grandpa is lost, he has lost his everything and we have lost a wonderful lady. I pray he will be ok, I know all he wants is to be with her. Kaylee will never know her grandma, grandma won't be able to watch Kaylee grow! She only got 2 short years with her. I have all this memories and I don't know what to do. I just want to her her voice, hear her say "hi sweetie"............ I hate this feeling of emptiness.
I know my grandma is better now, she is with Tyler and Erin and she can finally meet them, she is watching down on us and I know she misses all of us.
