 Us before we headed to our friends, Ben and Amy's wedding!

 Always wanting to help! Helping Mommy make lasagna. :)

 First time we went swimming at the YMCA warm water indoor pool for a birthday party.  She liked it and was scared all at the same time. We really should invest in swimming lessons for her.

 Such a cheeser!!

 My Mother's Day cared she picked out! It was so stinking cute!!

First time ever being dunked underwater. 

Easter Egg Dying!!

Good Friday....Off work.  We've been trying to clean, do laundry and just get caught up on housework.  Working all this overtime and weekends I get behind quickly!  After her nap and before her bath we dyed Easter Eggs for the 1st time.  I haven't done that since I was little!  What fun!! I think she liked it.  Egg salad and pickled eggs in a few days! Ha!  

Getting In Shape

I got myself a bike and a trailer to pull Kaylynn behind me.  This is David taking it for a test ride.  I went 2 days in a row and oh my!!!  My legs hurt so bad I could cry!! As if it isn't hard enough being overweight, then pulling her behind me! Oy!! Ha!

 

 

 

Our Gal

Since I haven't  posted any pictures in a long time, here are a few snapshots from my phone.  She is getting so big.  Very animated! Chatterbox!  Her hair is getting long.  She'll soon be 3! Where is time going??

Feb 26th Surgery

Here are a few pictures from Kaylynn's surgery.  She had new tubes put in, and her tonsils and adenoids removed.  It was rough and I felt so bad for her! But she is doing much better now. She has gained approx. 5 pounds since the surgery.

So Little Time...

Quicky Update!!
It's been awhile since I've updated.  Been so busy I have hardly had a minute to even sit down. I am having trouble uploading pics so I will have to try again sometime soon.  On Feb. 26th Kaylynn ended up having surgery which required an overnight hospital stay.  She had her old tubes in her ears removed and new ones put in.  The fluid behind her one ear was not infected.  Then came the removal of her tonsils and adenoids.  Both also were quite large.  Recovery was tough for about a day then she was back to herself.  I am def not sorry she got it done. I think she has ate nonstop since the surgery.  In fact she has gained 2+ lbs since that!

David has been working out of town Mon through Thurs every week 2 hours away.  Hopefully that will be done by June. 

I'm starting to work a lot of overtime again.  Money helps, but by the time I get to Fri, I will have worked 26 days straight without a day off.  So, tired is an understatement.  Plus being home without David for 3 days a week, it's tough. 

Get back to update and add pics sometime soon!!

Cheese!

Update from the last post.  I took her to her ENT this past week.  He said at this point he is not concerned about her tonsils.  They may take a couple more weeks to come down.  He looked in her ears and found that her one tube is falling out and there is a ton of pressure behind it.  So, off for a pressure test.  It came back flat.  Which means there is so much pressure that she can feel/her any vibrations.  He said it concerns him because she just finished a 10 day antibiotic and it still looks like that.  So, we go back in 3 weeks.  If it isn't any better she will need those tubes out and new ones put in.  He will also check her tonsils again then.  Still running low grade fevers, other than that she acts alright. 

She is such a Mother Hen.  She is forever playing with these babies, Hannah and McKenzie.  (babies that go to the sitter's) And playing in her playroom at the play kitchen.  She crawled up on the couch  with her babies tonight so I got a few pictures.  So cute!!
