Big Tears & First Steps

So... I've been really lax on posting lately, like really really. Its tax season, and I guess I don't have much other than taxes running thru my brain right now. EXCEPT for the fact that my not quite 9 month old daughter just took her first, and second step!! Ohhh holy cow, we're in so much trouble with her. I missed the first one, though Brian got to see it, and he missed Connor's first steps, so I guess we've traded off. He came quick to get me to see the second one though, which I really appreciate. :)

Last night, Connor & Camy were having issues sleeping. Camy was asleep, Connor was supposed to be sleeping. Camy started crying & Connor asked me if I wanted him to go check on her (check on Camy mommy??). I was working so told him to go have daddy check her. Next thing I hear (our bedroom is across the hall from my office) is this... "Camy, you're awake, ohh, so sorry you're crying, woah, big tears, lemme wipe them off, dont cry, dont cry, uggh, be right back!!" Then he comes running in my office & says "mommy, my sister crying. She has big tears. i better go check on her. Uh oh, camy has more tears." LMAO, I love my kids.

A few little updates

Nothing much really but...

Camy is now sitting up on her own, a few days shy of being 5 months old. She also almost goes from her belly to sitting and crawls backwards a little bit. She's almost 16 pounds & growing SO fast!! Everyone always comments on how happy of a baby she is.



Connor is... a 2 year old boy. He's so tempermental, into everything, stubborn, creative, imaginative, talkative!! We had to take him out of school for financial reasons, but he doesn't seem to mind. He always just told us about how much he cried when we dropped him off at school, so maybe he wasn't ready yet. He surprised me the other day & counted to 9 all by 'self'. He knows Happy Birthday now & sings it when asked.

PLUMP is still doing well. I'm working on mostly customs, trying to get my massive waitlist pared down before tax season.

We are CLEANING the house, preparing to host Thanksgiving next week. Crazy for a couple that doesn't like to cook. We've been cooking crazy lately though, raspberry pie the last two nights (Brian says the best pie he's ever had, seriously), Pot Roast, Drop bisquits & Apple dumplings tonight. No wonder we're fat. :D

Ohh, we also just had our first family trip to the sequoias, to see General Sherman. It was so fun!!

Mr. Snoopafrickenhootie

Mr. SnoopaFrickenhootie, the newest addition to our house. I don't know where his name came from, it just came to me. But, he helped me put Connor to bed last night, helped me tell Connor a story about the red dragon eating all the residents of Perez Town, right next door to Sifnskesville. The residents of Sifnskesville were getting nervous, so asked the local night, Sir Connor, to slay the dragon. So Sir Connor got dressed 'self', got on his horse bullseye, and to make a long story short, slayed the dragon. But not in time to save the pappels (pacifiers). This is Connor's first full day in two years to not have a pappel. He is taking it OK so far, we just blame the dragon for eating them. Is it horrible to lie to your kids??

Free money??

These sites are all over the place & I 'fall' for them often. But this one seems legit. What do you all (haha, I have no followers) think??

Mr Snoopafrickahootie

The newest resident in Sikes ville. He keeps all the stories on his head to tell to Connor at bedtime. Ask him about his dragon tale, the red dragon eating all the residents of Perezville, slain by Connor Sikes!!

Cafemom is making me delete this to add Camy's info, so here it is!!
