Happy Birthday Saydee

I can't believe you are one, where did the year go? I am so happy that God blessed us with two beautiful little girls. Saydee our first year together has gone so fast and I love being your mommy. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and we love seeing you smile and laugh. I hope you will always know how much you are loved by your family, especially your big sister. I know that you follow and do everything she does and it is so precious. Kirbee adores you just as much as you adore her. I pray that you girls will always be close and watch after each other. Your first birthday was so much fun, one day you will look back at pictures and laugh with us! We love you and adore you. Those of you reading this enjoy Saydee's first birthday pictures. I will try and add a video later! I love you Saydee Lane...

Birthday Cake...YUMMY, Thank you Marry Me Cakes

I am not sure about this birthday hat, but I sure am cute!!

YUMMY... where has this cake been hiding mommy?

Weekend at Linsey's

We went into town to get Saydee's 1 year pictures taken...stay tuned for that, and spent the night at our friend's, Linsey's, house. Here are some pictures and videos!

Sorry, this one is sideways.

A whole new world

I just thought that Kirbee was a handful when she was little- not really. From the very beginning Saydee has been the opposite of what most say there second child is, she has always been very layed back- go-with-the-flow type girl. Kirbee was an easy baby too just a little more high maintenance. Ever since Saydee started crawling she can get into everything and anything! She watches and copies everything that Kirbee does and gets very mad if she can't do it. We have stairs in our house and I don't think Kirbee discovered them until after she was one, not Saydee we have caught her up the stairs at least twice. I know what you are thinking why don't you put up a gate? Tried that and caught her climbing up and almost over the gate!! She is a very fast crawler and is starting to walk but most of the time can go fast enough so she just gets down and crawls. I say all of that just to say that I have some cute pictures of her to post.

I have a cute video to go with this but I can never seem to get it to work. I am not sure if it is the computer or what?!

She can fall asleep on the hard floor and have Kirbee walk and fall over her one hundred times and not wake up but don't try laying her in her soft bed all by herself!! Don't you like her matching pj's? I am not one to have unmatching pjs (for my kids anyways) but lately it seems like I find the top and not the bottoms or the bottoms and not the tops!! Oh well we are just sleeping!

Enjoying the well needed rain...

OK- Maybe I am back now!

I just thought I would have more time to blog this summer-WRONG! I don't even know where to start so I will just post summer pictures. Corey is officially deployed now and I am working on new bedtime routines for the girls so that MAYBE I will have some time to myself in the evenings when school starts(next week) we will see how it goes- lots of prayers please! Although I would like to say that Kirbee has now slept all night in her own big girl "Little Mermaid" bed!! YEAH KIRBEE!!! Will post pictures soon.

Enjoy these for now...

Mommy and the girls!

Kirbee playing mommy although Saydee is just about as big as she is!

Saydee showing Kirbee she can do anything she can do (and that is an understatement!)

We took a trip with Mimi and Grandpa to visit family in Branson, will hopefully post a video and more pictures later!


We got to visit daddy in Arizona for a week. Here is Kirbee and daddy playing on one of the many playgrounds out there! She just adores her daddy!

Here is Saydee going down the slide with daddy- although she doesn't really need help- she can do it all by herself! She loves her daddy too!

There is a small taste of what we have been doing this summer- will post more soon! Sorry for those of you who actually check to see what is going on and you keep seeing the same things. Oh and by the way Saydee is walking so I will try and show a video if I can get it to work- I haven't had very much luck with videos. Have a great day!

Pictures

Saydee enjoying the pool!

Kirbee at Chuckie Cheese.
Kirbee and Saydee riding a ride together- Saydee loves it, maybe more than Kirbee!
Trying to take a picture of all of us- notice we are all looking different directions and one is screaming!!

Saydee standing up.

Cute girls- posing for pictures.

Can you get into anything else?

I love being home with the girls although we have been on the go this week. I am a JH cheer coach so I have been busy with practice this week. However Kirbee loves cheering with the girls- if she has asked me once this week she has asked 100 times for some "pom-pons mom". She is so cute she is in the phase where she wants you to watch her do everything-I love it!

Saydee is also busy getting into everything. She is now at the stage where she pulls herself up and wants to walk so bad that she can't stand it. Of course sometimes she gets up and goes right back down with the help of big sis! She follows Kirbee or myself everywhere and if she can't find us then she just finds something to eat or get into. Here is an example of her getting into the clean clothes I was folding.
Just joking the pics aren't working will try again later!

School is Out!!

School is officially out...YIPEE!! Hopefully I will have more time to blog now. Will try to start up again soon- however I will still be working with my cheerleaders so I will still be busy but not EVERYDAY!! Chat again soon.
