Enjoying this Beautiful Day that the Lord has Made.

Today was a beautiful day to go for a walk and enjoy God's wonderful blessings. Caidance wanted to take her baby stroller and baby with us on our walk and Shelby wanted to ride in her buggy, so off we went! We had great services at church today and a wonderful Sunday afternoon. Caidance and Shelby just crack me up all the time when they play with each other. However, Shelby also has sympathy pains for her sissy as well. Caidance scratched herself or did something earlier today and she started crying, well it wasn't two seconds later that Shelby started crying with her. When Caidance stopped crying then Shelby started laughing. I think they are going to be real close sisters.

I LOVE TUTU'S

Well, we have been planning these pictures for probably a month gathering all the different outfit "attire" to go with the tutu theme. 2 days before were going to do these pictures, my poor dad's camera got stolen right out of his condo in Corpus Christi. He has been there going on 4 months now and he lives in a Condo and someone came in and stole every bit of his camera and equipment. We were all just so upset! I just don't understand how people can just come in to someone's house and steal something. Uhhh!!! Anyway, I was so excited because dad went and bought him a new camera, and we were still able to take these fun pictures!!! Mom got these adorable tutu's at a boutique and we had the best time taking pictures. I cannot believe how big my girls are getting. Sometimes I just wish time would stand still and they would just stay little forever. I enjoy being a mom of two girls.

Caidance's nightly prayer : "Dear Jesus, please catch the bad people that stole papaw's camera. Oh and Jesus, please remind my daddy to go and get those bad people and catch them with a net."

Bug, Bug, Go Away!!!

What a month it has been this month. Shelby was put in the hospital two days before we got out for Christmas. She woke up about 12:00 midnight coughing and a little choking. Gared got her all cleaned up and rocked her back to sleep. Within about 10 minutes, she was doing it again. This time we got her out of bed and gave her a breathing treatment to see if that would break up the congestion. Then she started vomiting and choking. We both got really scared because she was starting to turn blue trying to catch her breath. We both rushed her to the emergency room while Nanny came over to take care of Caidance. To make a very long story short, we sat in the emergency room from 2:00a.m. until 2:00 p.m. the next day. Shelby was hooked up to iv's, they had to give her a cathedar, and then make her sit with her arm straight for almost 2 hours. If she moved her arm, the the alarm would go off and the nurse would have to come in and gripe at us and then she would have to reset the machine. It was a nightmare. Not only that, we got a call from Caidance's Tiny Treasure class during all of this and Caidance had busted her tooth on the gym floor and cracked her poor little tooth. We finally got the girls home and two days later Gared and I were vomiting in the bathroom and had the same stomach bug. YUCK!!!! Nanny came over and tried to doctor us and no more than she got home, then she got the bug too!!! I think we are all back to normal now. We got rid of our Christmas tree because I think Shelby was showing an allergy towards it and it was causing her to stay congested. It has been 3 weeks since all of this happened and I think we are all starting to feel better.

On a good night Shelby has achieved quite a bit this month. She started waving bye bye a couple of days after New Years and it is the cutest thing ever!!! She also has learned how to play patty cake. She said Pawpaw on Christmas Day and, of course, that made Papaw's day :) She said momma also this month, but she was crying :( At least she said it and she asked for me quite a few times before I reached down to pick her up. I was really soaking up her saying "momma" :) Caidance is enjoying her day's with her Nanny. She calls them Nanny Days and she talks Nanny into staying up late, watching a movie, eating popcorn, and doing pedicures. She loves when she get's to have an "all night" nanny day.
