Fall 2011

We went to celebrate cousins birthday!! Hayden, Colter, and Luke turning one and Kate turning 3 and our very own Charley turning 2!!  We had a couple of big parties, we celebrated at Aunt Sarah's house in ABQ, NM at the Balloon Fest!! We also got to go hang out with Nana and Grandpa John , the girls enjoyed helping pick the fruit and veggies for lunch!

Haley started Pre-K this fall and she is enjoying going to school so much!! Here is her first day photos!!

We also got to enjoy a picnic at the Lake since the weather has been so nice!

Haley loves her sister

Lucas took Haley to the basketball game last night and while on the way home from the game he heard her in the back seat, saying "please, please, please"  So he asked, Haley what are you doing? Wishing on a star? and she said "NO, daddy I am wishing to God"  What are you wishing for Haley?  I am wishing for Charley to not be sick any more, "Please Please Please God make Charley feel better"  I freaking love my children!! Thank you GOD!!!

Charley and the Medicine Cabinet

Here is our version of Charlie and the Chocolate factory - Charley and the Medicine Cabinet!!  Poor Charley was born congested and since birth has been on antibotics/allergy meds but never really seeming to break the congestion bug!  Most recently we got to visit the allergist, while there we found out that Charley (who lives in Oklahoma with all its allergies) is not allergic to anything.  YAY!  But still they were unsure why she is all congested, they prescribed us 5 prescriptions before we left in the mean time....only for us to return to the allergist a week later and get another prescription only to return to the peditrician and we may end up with yet another.  Looks like are next trip will be back to the allergist so we can be reffered to the ENT who put in her tubes to have him look at her adenoids which are enlarged.  Charley right now is being treated to clear up the congestion while also having a sinus infection, ear infection, end of pink eye and fluid in her lungs and another FYI she had her 18 months shots today and her 2 year molars are coming in.  Here is a list of our meds for her:

Patanase (nose spray) 2 times a day
Nizatidine (acid reflux) 2 times a day
Sildec-PE (decongestion meds) 2 times a day
Xopenex (nebulizer) as needed
Tobramycin (eye drops) 2 times a day
Singular (asthma treatment) once a day
Flovent (steroid inhaler) 2 times a day
Ceftin (antibotic) 2 times a day
Motrin (advil) for the teething and the shot today :) as needed

This picture is of Charley's allergy skin test she had prior to her blood test, xray and ct scan......

This picture is of Charley getting her nebulizer treatment

She falls asleep after during it

Here are all the meds laid out to give her

Haley her special gifts

Granny and Grandad bought Haley several books by Max Lucado.  They are children's books about the wooden Wemmicks and their maker Eli.  So great!!! She loves reading all 4 of them nightly, but her favorite is the story of "Your Special Gifts"  Eli the wooden maker gave the Wemmicks all special gifts one day to help a family that needed help.  I explained to Haley how Eli was like God to the Wemmicks, she woke up this morning saying I wonder what special gift God has given me?  I asked her what does she like to do the most and she said read, so I told her God has given you the gift to read and share with others great stories.  She is now looking for a gift in the house of books God has given her to read! So sweet she is, I think I have to go to the store and buy some books at lunch now! :)

Winter X Games

Watching a recap of the winter X games - Haley sees the snowboarders doing twists and flips and says "daddy, you can do that" - yea, right.  She says she wants to go snowboarding and skiing and skating.  Joy asked her if she wants to live by the mountains so she can ski all the time and she says, "no, Rumble will miss me."

Haley Sings

Haley sings and she sings and she sings.....There is a song that goes a little something like this...

"Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know!
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight
Hey, hey,hey"

Here is Haley's version.....
"Hey Soul sister, I dont wanna mister on the radio, stereo the way you go and bury oh, hey soul sister I dont want to mister, hey........"

Haley's Fairy Tale

Haley told a great story tonight:  Once upon a time there was a mommy and a Haley and the held hands and walked to the park and they played at the play ground and then they held hands and went back to see Daddy and Charley and everyone was there for Charley's birthday.  The End. :)

Our Girls

Haley and Charley are the best children anyone could ask for, I began right before Charley was born writing down serveral things I want to remember that I knew I would forget about growing with the two of them.  As Charley continues to get older the cuteness of them begs to be blogged so I have decided to blog it, they can never say they didn't do that, I will have proof! :)
