Outrageous Ones

Hynlee thinks she is a lot older than what she really is. Callee always did exactly what Grace did but I thought it was because there is only 17 months between the two. But that's not the case here. She watches EVERYTHING they do and then she trys her hardest to do the same. She has started wanting to do school when they do. Basically she tries to take their paper from their desk and then color it for them. So to make her feel like a big girl, we gave her my desk from when I was little. She loves it! She mastered it in one morning. She can climb right in and out just like a pro! Today she was sitting in it playing on her computer and Callee wanted to show her how to play a game on it. Callee is always trying to correct her or be the boss. I guess Grace has bossed her for so long. Now she has someone to boss around..or so she thought! Well Miss Hynlee wasn't gonna listen to that and so she climbs out and chases after her with her mouth wide open to bite. I said in my stern voice, Don't you even think about it. And she turns around and climbs back in her chair. Callee comes right back to try again. And Hynlee went after her again. What am I gonna do with this little girl. It's not funny but it is! She's so little but so full of attitude it's cute.

So I thought your trouble started at two's? She's completley different from Grace and Callee. She hits, bites, slaps, and screams if she doesn't get her way! I know she's the baby and we have all given her everything she's wanted for the past year. But seriously this has got to stop! Grace was just laying on the couch this morning and she walks up to her and slaps her right in the face!

Why, you might ask?

Did she want something Grace had?

NO! She just did it!

Then Callee was sitting in Hynlee's desk and she walked right up to her and slapped her and then kept walking. It was like she was saying..this is mine. I don't want it right now, but you NEED to get out!

Missing my Bailee!

Man I don't know if it's all this warm weather and sunshine but the past few days I have missed my Bailee Boy so very much. It has been exactly one year and three weeks since I have gotten to see his sweet face. I totally understand WHY I had to let him go

BUT that doesn't mean I will ever execpt that fact.

I know you read this blog mom and I'm still sorry for your cat. But with that being said I still don't believe MY baby could have done it. I would give my right arm to have him back. I have been begging Derick to go get him and let me have him back for just one day but he won't! I want to see him but I'm not sure what scares me the most.

FIRST...That he won't run to me and HUG(jump on me) me the way he always did or

SECOND..The fact that I will have to say goodbye again.

Bailee was my baby from the first moment our eyes met! He was in a way my best friend. He was there when I woke up. He was there when I went to sleep, or when I needed a break from the house and just took a walk..he was there! When Derick would get up off the couch to get a drink or whatever Bailee would steal his seat and curl up to me. When the girls were out to play I knew they were completly safe with their buddy right beside them. I miss go to McDonalds just to order him a double cheese burger. There will always be a place in my heart for my Bailee that will NEVER be filled again:(

Mri

Ok so today is the day..I have to have a brain MRI done this afternoon and I'm not at all ready. I'm ready to know why I have been feeling this way for so long but the test scares me to death. It may seem a little strange but I'm more worried about the actual test than the results. I'm so claustrophobic and the thought of laying still in a machine all around me making noise for so long just freaks me out to say the least. The doctor has given me medicine to help relax me, but I've never taken this so not sure how its gonna affect me. If you know me then you know I can't take medicine very well.
Tylenol PM or benadryl KNOCKS me out cold!
So in a way I'm hoping this does so I don't even know whats going on during the test but then there is my other problem.
MY KIDS!
Derick is gonna have Grace and Callee at softball practice. So they will be fine. Mom is going with me and she will be watching Hynlee.
My problem is IF the medicine knocks me out..how long will I be out of it? My test isn't until 5 this afternoon and it's gonna take 45 minutes IF it all goes good. Depending on how many times I hit the button and FREAK OUT!
So if the test starts at 5 then the earliest we will be done will probably be 6. Which means dinner at our house. So if I'm still drunk then what are my kids gonna think of Mommy sleeping all afternoon and night. I have tried to explain this to Grace and Callee. But who knows how much they really understand.
Then the BIG problem is Hynlee! She still nurses a few times during the night... I know she doesn't need too..But she does! I can't nurse with this medicine so she is gonna have to take a bottle or cup. Which is most likely not gonna happen. She is spoiled very bad to me during the night so not sure how much sleep the family is gonna get tonight. So please say a little prayer for me and my family today!

Stone Mountain

Sunday morning Derick was so very sweet and let me sleep in late. Hynlee hasn't been sleeping good at night lately so needless to say I haven't gotten any sleep lately either. But when he came to wake me for church he had the whole day planned out for us. He wanted to take us to Stone Mountain and spend some quality family time together! So we all jumped up and got dressed and off we took. The girls were so excited. Derick asked them if they wanted to hike up the mountain and of course they said YES! We have taken them a couple of times before but never up the mountain. I don't need to remind you how clumsy, wild, fast, and sometimes hyper Callee can be. She doesn't see the danger in ANYTHING! But we had the don't go to far ahead, and be careful, don't run, it's very dangerous talk down at the bottom. And surprisingly they all did very good. Hynlee rode about half way up in her carrier and then she wanted down. But Callee and Grace walked all the way up without any serious mishap! Of course when we finally made it up, we all wanted a little snack and everything was closed. I guess cause it's off season but you couldn't even get a bottled water. So down we went. Grace was a little scared of the hike down and Derick had to carry her down the steep parts but we did it! Then to make it a field trip(cause we still have so many to take before the end of the year) we walked through the museum. They were a little upset because the train wasn't running either. But we had a wonderful family filled day with memories to last forever:)

Rough week at our house:(

This week has been so stressful and slow! To start the week off Gracie got a stomach bug and was sick all day Monday and Tuesday. The girls had a date night planned with their daddy on Monday. They were to go on a horse and carriage ride. But we had to cancel cause Grace just wasn't up to it. And then little Hynlee has had an extra rough week this week. Within the past couple of days she has cut three of her one year old molars and two of her front bottom teeth. She is getting a mouth full all at once. Now on top of that she is trying her best to catch a cold. She is just miserable! She can't sleep, doesn't want to play, and sometimes to ill for you to even hold her. Today I rounded the corner and she was just lying on her blanket in the middle of the living room. The only thing she does want is our TSH TSH aka our fish. She has just lately started saying this and it took me a couple of days to realize what she was meaning. But now every morning she says it and she is ready to feed it. Did I mention the name? Wally Camalee? Not sure thats even spelled somewhat right. Needless to say Callee named it. She is so creative with her names. I can't wait to see what she names her children one day. Hopefully with the stomach virus over and the teeth now thru the skin the worst is over. I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend! HaHa!!

Valentine's Weekend

This is a little late...just like everything else I do but like the saying better late than never. We had a wonderful snow filled Valentines weekend. All day Friday and early Saturday morning we had a couple inches of snow. Which in Georgia is like a blizzard. This was the most snow the girls had ever seen. So of course we made a last minute run to the grocery store to get milk and bread. It was a mad house. Derick made it home at a decent hour from Atlanta and we just enjoyed the view! Friday we didn't play much out side. Hynlee wasn't totally sure she liked it. But Saturday morning my phone starting ringing early. I thought ok maybe Amanda or Mom. Then again..still too tired to get up and answer it. But by the third time I thought ok maybe something is wrong. Nope..no emergency just Aunt KK and Charles wanting to come over and play in the snow with the girls! Of course the girls had fun. But you have to think this was also the most snow we have had since being married. So Derick and I were having a blast, sledding and throwing snowballs at each other. Or I was trying to hit him...he would catch mine and throw them right back flying at me! We even used my baking sheets as sleds! But sadly I didn't get any good pictures of it. My batteries died and we didn't have any more. Then on Sunday we had a wonderful time at church and the Sweet Heart Dinner and later that day Derick took me and the girls out. I had a wonderful time with all four of my loves! Hope your weekend was just as good:)

Hynlee's First Birthday

This past weekend we had Hynlee's first party. The theme was all pink and brown with Sweets! We had three cakes, cupcakes, brownies, chocolate dipped strawberries, cotton candy, suckers, chocolate pretzels, sugar cookies....the list goes on and on. It turned out really nice except for the fact that I was completely out of it the entire time. There was a mix-up at my pharmacy between my two doctors and two different medicines. I thought I was taking the antibiotics and I took two pain pills which completely knocked me out. I have never felt so crazy in my life. But the party still was a success. Little Hynlee loved playing in her cake, but had no interest at all in opening the presents. After all the deserts and gifts we ended the party by decorating cupcakes to take home and sending the balloons to Papa in Heaven.
