potty tracker...

So far today we have gone 2 hrs without and accident and have gone "pee-pee" 2 time in our potty chair...YAY Baylie! updates to follow!

End of April month in review

Okay so its been a few days since the last post and it is very close to the end of April. I thought you would enjoy some pics and videos of Daisy. The family is fine. James is a little stressed about the mine cutting overtime-so I am going to go back to sub. teaching on his days off. Daisy is working on getting her top 2 canine teeth. Baylie is...well Baylie. She was very upset with me yesterday because she wanted to go outside and play, but it was snowing so I said no. Next month will be a VERY busy one. The 8th James has a dentist appt., the 11th I will be making a trip to Denver on my own while he stays home with the girls- but this is no pleasure trip. I am going to see a new stomach dr. to see if he has any other suggestions or advise or ideas...something! Then the 12th we go back to buffalo (thats where the dentist is) for James again. The 13th we go back south to Cheyenne for Daisy to see an ENT down there. Lastly (I hope) we go back to Buffalo to the dentist again, but this time its for both of us and its just cleanings. (all the other times James is getting fillings) Oh, I almost forgot some Baylie news! We have the bars on her bed wrapped with foam pipe wrap so that when she bangs her head at night (which she still does but less frequently now) she wont have and bumps or bruising. She's taken to picking at the exposed parts of the foam and the other day she woke from a nap and started screaming like she was hurt. I run in and couldnt find anything wrong with her. So we went to the kitchen for a snack and she was still crying, but then she tried to sniff...and really started crying! It was then I noticed that she had shoved a large piece of foam from her bed up her nose and that was the source of pain!! GROSSS!!! So I poped it out and tilted her head back to see if there was more up there, and sure enough...it was WAY in there and required me to lay her down with a light shining up there and a pair of tweezers to get it out. After I did she sneezed and no more came out, so I am positive I got it all. But still, can we say "EWWW!" Well that's all for now enjoy the pic and videos!

sorry that its sideways, my computer is being silly. This is Daisy sitting on the potty chair reading....Twilight!

Daisy again. She had ravioli for supper, followed by chocolate pudding for desert.

Same night but in the shower-you can see the slime trail she left as she got in.

Easter and before

okay, so i didn't get any of easter day :( but i did get some good shots of the night before, and then i added some just random ones. enjoy.

Daisy

Some of you know and some don't, that we put Daisy in the Little Miss Wyoming Pageant a couple of weekends ago. Aunt Jenni came and took pictures for us cuz she's the bestest! Baylie stayed with Bob. Daisy didn't win anything, but we still had fun, and she's a winner in my book. But here are some of the pics of that day, Jenni took a lot of pics and I can't post them all, these are the best in my opinion from the day!

ahh the end of march...

As the end of march approaches i am reminded that it is time for a soesbe family update. if you aren't in gillette it has been a more than usual odd weather month. we had one decent snow storm in the beginning and then one whoppin blizzard in the end and then several days here and there that went up to 70! I think mother nature is a little more confused than she normally is for these parts. But now the family!!
James: still working and doin what he does. He took a very nice, if maybe a little short, trip by himself to his family ranch in south dakota to help for a few days with calving. he came back exhausted but satisfied.
Samantha: still doing what i do (lol). Actually I am trying to go back to work, the problem is finding a daycare so that i can find a job and vise versa. Almost everywhere in town will take baylie, but there are only about 3 that will take daisy (due to age) and to the best of my knowledge they are all full for her age group. Talk about EXPENSIVE!! I almost passed out when an in-home wanted $1100 for both. (that's per month folks!)
Baylie: was supposed to start preschool, but due to a teacher being absent and the weather she's only made it 2 times this month. *sad* but she seemed to really enjoy it, so that's good. not too much new for her, just being a 3 year old i guess! she's been very upset at me this week because the weather has been too cold for her to go outside and play.
Daisy: is still waiting...on 4 teeth (which at least 2 of are coming) and walking. yes i know my 15 month old should be walking by now, but no such luck. she could if she wanted to, but she has no desire unless your holding her hands. however, she can get up on the couch, down from the couch, my bed and various other things, she is a monkey climber, its amazing. she can go up and down stairs and seems to be afraid of nothing in particular....except walking!! its very frustrating for me as she is getting very heavy.
*new addition to the family*
Bob: bob is my step dad who just moved up here at the 1st of the month. he's living with us and works for L&H welding. we are trying to save him some money by doing this arrangement. so far it seems to be working just fine. if all goes well he will stay with us until may when they do an evaluation and hopefully give him a raise!
I think that's it for this month. We made the arrangements to take a family vacation to san diego this fall, that should be fun. but not too much new here. I hope everyone who follows my blog or that reads this is doing well. TTFN!!
