November 1st 2009 - Amber Almost 6 Months.

These pics were taken two days ago so these are the latest ...

Today is the 3rd and Jade is off sick yet again, she has a really high fever this afternoon, I just don't know what to do with her, there is so much going around that no matter how well she eats and how many vitamins she takes, she is just getting sick over and over again, it's insane. Tomorrow I am taking Amber for the Flu shot, not the H1N1 shot just the regular flu shot and I think I am going to take Jade in for a good once over with the doctor too, she will have to be off school tomorrow anyway so I may as well take her with me. My poor baby !!! Oh gosh and keeping her away from Amber that is hard no matter how much I tell her Amber cannot get as sick as she is being a baby and all, she loves her sister so much she forgets and well ... both Dave and I are freaking out at her all the time but it's so sad. Please pray she gets better soon !!!

Amber was sick a week ago but thankfully is better now so please I hope she stays healthy through all this. Dave has also had a cough for the longest time, all the stuff going around, it's just too much ... many people at the church I work at have had the Swine Flu and thank God it doesn't seem too bad anymore the doctors seem to have it well under control but I really worry about Amber getting it. Again please keep us in your prayers, we are not even in full blown Winter yet and there has been so much sickness in this house !!!









Ok all done ... remember to scroll down to see the rest of the updates. Enjoy !!!

Halloween 2009 ...

Halloween in our new neighborhood was really awesome, the day started with a Halloween party at our clubhouse from 2 - 4, there was a parade of costumes to the clubhouse led but the local fire department, it was really cool, I have video but again it takes too long to load so maybe later ... there the kids had hotdogs and juice and went on hayrides, played in the hay hunting for treasure and just got a bunch of free goodies, they also had their pictures taken which was fun although the line was a long one. There was music and dancing, it was really cool and thank Heavens the rain held off till it was over with.

Every Halloween the weather is just strange it is either so damn cold or like this year it was crazy warm, Jades costume was not too warm although it looks that way, it was light weight thank Heavens, so even though we had long sleeves under it and tights we took those off later and even that night trick or treating she didn't get cold.

She went as a Snow Princess ...









Here are some pics from the afternoon at the clubhouse. It was Ambers naptime so Dave stayed home with her, I feel bad sometimes that he misses out but thank God he is not a social guy so most of the time he doesn't mind missing out and would rather be home playing on his computer, yeah I know ... boring right but that's just how he is and what he enjoys so oh well ... as long as he is happy right !!!



Some of Jades friends from school, the girl in the red dress is a neighbor and she is in Jades class, Jade really likes her but they don't get to play outside together too much, I guess Jade is more of an outdoors girl than she is.



There were two of these going all afternoon, the kids had a ball, what a clever idea.



Just some of the people that attended, it was a really good turnout.



She took her hat off just for a few minutes ... she loved it on when I think she looked cuter with it off but it was her costume so if she wanted to cook with it on, then so be it :-)



My little Ladybug !!!



Always my smiley girl :-)





A close up ...



She was so chatty in her exersaucer but in the pics it looks like she is singing :-)



With Jades stash of candy from trick or treating.



That's another Halloween over, but really it was awesome in this neighborhood and some houses were done up so amazingly, it started raining a bit while we were out so I told Dave to take Amber home and then he could also hand out candy to the trick or treaters but what I didn't realize was that the camera was in the stroller :-( It didn't rain too long and I wish Dave had come back out coz really some people really went all out ... did I say I love this neighborhood !!! Well I am sure next year it will be even better.

Remember to scroll down as I have done a bunch of updates today, Amber is waking up and I have one more to go but I did more than I thought so good :-) Enjoy !!!

27th October ... Both My Girls.

Jade dressed up for Faith Formation, loving her new boots which mommy bought her :-)



It's been a while since she modelled for me ... so she had some fun messing around this evening.





Growing her hair for Winter and seeing if we can do Locks Of Love again next Summer or maybe it will have to be a year later, we will see, maybe by then she wants long hair, I know though it gets to a point where she says it irritates here and well as much as daddy loves long hair he hates to have to help take care of it so we will see :-)



Shame Amber was so sick with a cold here, such a stuffy then runny nose but thank God she like Jade is pretty happy even when they are sick, nothing like dad but hey that's just men in general right (hehehe). This was just an outfit which I got for her to wear the Halloween week but she hated the hat and well I didn't like it either but for the pic we just took one or two and she looks happy right ?



Fall Leaves In Our Back Yard ...

These pics were taken just as it started raining and I knew with a good rain all the leaves would be gone, it looked so pretty outside in our back yard but it was for such a short while, now most of the leaves have gone and well now we can see neighbors we haven't for months ... but hey as Jade says the bright side is now we can see all the squirels again :-)



I opened my back door slightly not to let the rain in and took these two ... pretty right ?

October 10th - Disney On Ice ...

Ok I took so many pictures on Jade and my yearly trip to Disney On Ice and if I want to get as much done here as I need to I am going to pass on this one, I will try and add it later since there are some cute videos as well but they take forever to load.

Jade and I had a good time and can't wait till Amber is old enough to go with !!! Dave of course passed as usual, too much ice skating exposure in his youth I guess but that's ok it's special time for Jade and I and one day for all us girls to go to together.

October 7th - Amber Helping Mommy With Chores Around The House.

3rd October - Trip To Corn Maze

Wow, I can't believe it has been over a month since I last updated my site, sorry guys but I have not only been so busy but really just have been unmotivated lately and now look, I have so much to update and am not sure if I have enough time but let's see how much I can get done before Amber wakes up ... hold thumbs !!!

I am going to try and do this in order, on the 3rd Jade and I went with a group of people from our neighborhood to a corn maze about 45 minutes from our house, it's apparently one of the biggest on the East coast but really to me it didn't seem that big ... or maybe it was !!!

When we got there I realized this was the same maze that we had been to a couple of time when Jade was in preschool.

Before it got dark, Jade and our neighbors and their kids Vincent and Gabriel took the walk through the maze. We thought we would get through it no problem but as well organized as it was we really did get lost a bunch of times, eventually we got worried as it was getting dark and our flashlights were in our bags by the bonfire so we asked one of the maze monitors to whizz us through the maze but kinda like the kids were still participating in helping lead the way which he did, it was pretty cool but yeah we would have never gotten through there with as much daylight as we had left so thank Heavens for the maze monitor.



Vincent our neighbor, one of the many boys that apparently Jade wants to marry (hehehe) !!!



I am sure you have seen many pics of this in the past but still even though she was so much older, she had such fun in here, but golly I had corn coming out of clothing in my washing machine for ever !!!



I need to go back and find the old pics of this that I have ... it looks like she is standing on tippy toes but she really wasn't she has gotten so tall !!!



Playing checkers with the boys.



Then the greatest excitement other than a goat that gave birth that morning and seeing the tiny babies, was the bonfire where we all roasted smores, we really had a good time and I really hope they make this a yearly tradition. I met so many new neighbors and really it was just a nice evening and Jade had such fun with all the kids, the only thing which was sad was that Dave was at home with Amber, ok I know my hubby is not a social butterfly but still it would have been nice for him to be there but for now, at least Jade and I had some specially mommy and me time :-)



More to come ...
