Rainy Day



It rained a lot today which was kinda nice. My girls decided tonight that they were gonna play in it so I decided to take pictures. Sadly my camera only had room for 2 pictures so thats all I got cuz I was making dinner as well and didn't have the time to clear up some space on my camera.
But don't worry its cleared off now so I can take more pictures of them other times.


I also thought I would give you an update on the kids and things.
So Stockton has been rolling over since 4 months of age and rolls everywhere and is into everything. He is now 6 months old and can sit on his own as long as you don't make him to excited or he'll fall over. he is very close to crawling he keeps trying to get up on his knees. He also discovered that he can kind of hold himself up in a standing position against furniture which he enjoys doing when I'm willing to sit by him and catch him.

Kalista, like stated in my last post is a Mommy's girl she wants nothing to do with Shän if I'm home. I feel bad but at the same time I like having her be a Mommy's girl again cuz she was a Mommy's girl till Stockton was born, then she was a Daddy's girl.
Kalista is also pretty much potty trained. as long as we make sure she puts underwear on in the mornings she will use the potty all day. with few to none accidents. we normally put pull ups on her at bedtime. but tonight she insisted on underwear so we will she how she does I'm hoping she does good through the night.

Today I took Kendra to the eye doctor or ophthalmologist whichever you want to call em it took 2 1/2 hours. That has got to be the longest I have ever waited at an appointment with my kids and hopefully it wont happen again. So I'll spare you the details of the appointment and just let you know Kendra needs glasses she is nearsighted. Luckily for us Shän's half brother is an ophthalmologist so we just have to go pick the frames we want for her and send him the prescription and type of frames we want and he will get them for us. :)
also Kendra goes to see the Genetics on Friday. so hopefully we will find out more info on her then. and If we do I will let you know.

Kaylie is good as always, she still keeps amazing me with how smart she is. She still acts like an animal all the time and is a new animal everyday. When asked what she wants to be when she grows up she says a Zoo Veterinarian. She is a really good reader and loves to read. its nice because now I don't have to read things on her games for her anymore she can now read them and figure out what she needs to do by herself. we no longer have our World of Warcraft accounts active, so she has had to find other games to play and she now is hooked on Wizard101 and Dragonica online (which is just a beta game I'm playing) but its a fun game and I enjoy it. I also enjoy playing Wizard101 as well but have got to a point where I can't really do much more until I pay for the game so I have put off playing Wizard101 till I have money.

I just switched to working all Night shifts since it works out better for Shän and mines schedule. so if you call me in the morning I apologize in advance if I seem a bit rude or not all there. :P so I went to the dentist last Friday and had my teeth cleaned and a checkup. and man it hurts to have your teeth cleaned. my gums hurt so bad after I got a bad headache. But on the good side I have no cavities, but I need 3 crowns and a bridge at some point when I have the money. The dentist I went to was way nice and doesn't charge an arm and a leg and so far hasn't said Shän or I needed more work done then we really do. I had already known about the crowns and bridge he just reminded me.

Shän had all of his bottom teeth pulled last Tuesday, and got bottom dentures and it is only costing us $1,000 dollars instead of the $5,000 the last dentist he talked to was gonna charge him. I'm gonna start taking my kids to him as well since her works on kids and is such a good and nice dentist. so back to Shän mouth. His mouth is still a little swollen and hes still having to take pain killers just not as often now as he had been, he had 11 teeth pulled. He is trying to quit smoking again. I'm hoping this time he is successful.

School

So Kaylie and Kendra have started school. Kaylie is in 2nd grade and Kendra is in Kindergarten. Both seem to really like school. I enjoy the break from 4 kids and enjoy having my 2 little ones home with me. That and I enjoy being able to go shopping or run errands with no kids or with just Kalista cuz Shän watches Stockton for me while I run. He'd watch Kalista for me too but she has become a major mamma's girl and its nice at times but drives me nuts other times. Like when she walks around fussing saying she needs me when I can't hold her. but we have been playing alot together lately which has been fun.
