Random WA shots

It's my Yucky Day!

I guess Eric and his brothers used to say that when they'd get stopped by the train by their house growing up. Well, I've always thought of clovers as my lucky charm and they worked today. Joey wore her new Carter's Clover dress for today (got it at Macy's, if anyone finds this dress there in a 9 or 12 month size, please snap that up for me, I'll pay you back) and what should happen...watch the video below to find out (it happens right at the beginning, the rest is just me trying to get her to smile, hehe)

The only problem now, she seems to have forgotten how to roll from her belly to her back. So she gets all upset that she's stuck on her tummy. She's so funny. Cuz as soon as I roll her back over to her back she starts back to her belly. Just as indecisive as her Mom already. I have some pictures of her in the dress, but it won't let me uppload them now so I'll so that later.

HOPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Yeah, Hi is backwards. Sorry!

4 Month Check-Up

Joey had her doctors appointment today, shots and all. :( She is doing great! She is 25.5 inches long (95th percentile) and she weighs 15 lbs 8 oz (88th percentile). She did okay with her shots, cried for a minute or two. No reactions thus far. Poor thing though, she had gotten up to eat at 615. I laid her back down so I could take a quick shower. When I was done I got Rye up and going and went to check on her and she was still awake just kind of zoning out. We took Rye to the bus and got ready for her appointment. She started getting cranky tired while waiting for the doc. Then we went and got her shots. She might have dozed off for like 5 minutes. By the time we got home it was time to eat again (915) and she finally went to sleep. She was basically up for 3 hours. Who knows how long she'll sleep for. Alright, I've got shizz to do.

Pictures

She's just cute!

The girls, Rye wanted them nekkid, don't ask me why...

A more modest one

She's getting there

MMmmm, love my fingers
Hahahaha
Not sure why she looks so sad here.
I've almost got it... aahhh, toes.

A Daughter's Love

I just wanted to share this poem that Rye wrote about Eric last night. She did it all by herself (though I helped her spell 3 words). She also drew a picture of the two of them on the back. She misses him so much.I'm sure we'll be sending it to him, even though he can see it on here. I hope he keeps it safe because I think we're gonna keep this forever.

4 Months Already?

3 Months 4 Months

K, im not seeing much of a change this month, but I wanted to share anyway. Toodles.

FOR ERIC....

I MISS YOU BABY!

Uh...ME!

Just wanted to share how HOT I'm looking just 4 months after giving birth. Hahahah! Yeah right. I just liked my outfit. My shorts remind me of the ones I used to get from the Goodwill when I was in high school. Old man shorts.
Then I thought I'd show what a difference 7 months makes when it comes to my hair. It has grown out so much. Can't wait to see how long it is by the time Eric gets home.

I guess you can't really see the length of my hair all that well in that pic so I'll add my profile pic below, it'll be better for that. I just liked how the background of the one above is all blurry.

I just realized something else...I like to tilt my head in pictures. WEIRD!

Ryels...

Showing off her own pair of BabyLegs, she wants the flame ones too. Just like Daddy.
Jes...she's a diva and she loves big earrings, just like Mommy!
She's very proud of her first piece of birthstone jewelry (the necklace, it's her Guardian Angel)
She looked so stylish that day, had to commemorate it.

Lil' Joey Jo

Took these first two with my cell. She looks like such a big girl in these. I love how her hands are folded in the second one.
If you click on this picture you can see the spit all over her face from the endless raspberries that she blows. I am constantly wiping her mouth. So funny.

JoJo and her Woobee
Smiling pretty
She found her feet. They're all she plays with now. She also ruined that outfit while I was snapping pictures, pooped all up the back of it. It was brand new too. *sniff sniff* You know my obsession with clovers.
" Uh, I am not understanding the directions you are giving me...."
I love footy pajamas!

What a Day...

Well, I knew this morning was going to be busy but I had no idea what we were in store for. After I got Rye off to school I fed Jo and we went to the bank. I paid of the Nissan!! Woot Woot! After that we ran into Kailua to get a breakfast bagel and a decaf coffee. That took longer than I thought. I then had to go back to base and pick up Rye for her dentist appointment, we headed back into Kailua. This is where it gets interesting. First the dentist told me that since rye's 6 year molars had come in that they should be sealed to help keep them from getting cavities. So we added that onto the visit today. Rye wasn't prepared for this so she got a little dramatic. But we got through it and it was fine. The dentist had then asked if I had any concerns and I mentioned the tooth that fell out when she was 2 and asked if they could check to make sure the adult tooth behind it was doing okay. So she took a second xray and guess what she found? AN EXTRA TOOTH! Rye has a little tooth up there which will block her adult teeth from growing in. So I have now had to make a consultation appointment with an oral surgeon for the day we fly out to Washington. They will have to remove it surgically and then her top teeth should come in fine, though one of them is crooked. After she gets this procedure done I was told that she needs to go and see an Orthodontist. She's got a major crossbite and her bottom teeth are way crowded. UGH! And so it begins...
Then to top it all off, when we were driving back to base to take her back to school she threw up all over herself. So, she's home now, resting and watching TV. What a day. These next few weeks before heading to Washington should go by fast for us. Jo has her 4 month check up, I have a dentist appointment and Rye's got her consult. My oh My!
sidenote: the spell check isn't working on here, hasn't been forever and I don't want to read over this again so there may be some mistakes. Sorry, Beth.

Prayer Request

Okay, I know I put up a ton of stuff today...just a quick prayer request. The list came out for promotions for Eric's MOS. He is right out of the zone, by less than 60 days. Next month a new list will be coming out and the dates may change. Please say a prayer that the dates will shift just a bit to include Eric in there so he can pick up Gunny. He so good at his job and he deserves this. Thanks a bunch.

Thru a Childs Eyes...

I know that Joey's eyes will prolly change soon (you can actually see it a little in the picture). But I love that for now the girls have different color eyes. I think one of the best things about being pregnant was wondering what this child would look like. How different from or alike would they be with Rye? To be honest, I wouldn't want my kids to look the same, where's the fun in that? Hehe. I'm sure every mother thinks this, but I wonder how my children see me...it's something I think about quite often. I want to be a good mother to them. I know I fall short of that more aften than not, but I hope that one day they'll look back on their childhood with fondness. With thoughts of the fun, good times (not the ones when I'm a crabby b!tch to them). I need to think of how I want to be remembered when I deal with them....God Help Me!

More legs

So I got my BabyHawk in the mail. I don't have pictures of it yet but it is awesome. I LOVE IT! With my order I also got another pair of baby legs. They're called Jolly Jills and they've got lil skulls all over them. They're aborable. Here are a few pics. When I get some of the babyhawk, I'll share. It's the most comfortable baby carrier, EVER!This is her after she decided to shimmy down a little.Rye wanted to share the spot light a little so, of course I obliged.
This pic I just had to share cuz I think Joey's face is just too funny.
update: Here is the baby hawk.
