Busy, Busy, Busy

So Alot has happened in the week and a half since the last post:

• Keiani is currently working on 5 new teeth all top teeth. So its been one crazy, fussy 2 weeks but she finally slept through the night last night after a week of waking by midnight.


• My cousin Katrina and her little girl Paycience are no longer staying with us. After alot of work and love she decided that returning to her abusive, drug dealling boyfriend was a much better idea. Please pray for them.


• Keiani has a new cousin, Andrew's sister Michelle had a beautiful little girl Taeya Bennett.


• As for Andrew and I we celebrated our aniversary this last weekend, and yes we still love each other :)


• We are planning our trips to Nova Scotia and Edmonton. Yeah Vacation!!


• I have been really busy with work. there have been alot of move outs which means Apt. that need cleaning.

I hope eveyone else has a stress free, care free and happy weekend! Monday will sneak up on you fast!

Peek-a-boo

Keiani has a peek-a-boo tooth. We saw this illusive tooth yesterday. It poked it little white tip out yesterday then swelled over. Oh it makes for fun conversation with her though. Heres a tastey sampling. Me: "How are you today Keiani?" Keiani's reply: "Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!" It's really fun. Maybe tomorrow they will all come out and stay then teething will be over. I'll tell you sometimes I think labor was much more fun :)

Baby Blues

Poor Keiani. As I mentioned before Keiani has a house guest. Her slightly older cousin Paycience is staying with us for a while and they have come to the conclusion that they dont like each other. Or they like each other to much its hard to say.

The difference is Keiani is used to playng with either children her own age or children older then her that are much sweeter and understand sharing. Paycience has really only been exposed to children older with whom she has to fight to keep possesion of her toys. We have all learned that this is not a good combination. Its a constant battle to keep Paycience away from Keiani since every time Keiani picks up a toy or food or a cup Paycience steals it and Keiani cries. Our hopes are up that they might reach an understanding of each other. Paycience will learn to share and not be so jealous and Keiani will not be so sensitive. My poor girl. I feel so bad for her.

Oh on a lighter note Keiani is sooooo smart she did her cat sign today! We have been doing kitty with her for months and today she looked right at Dharma and did cat like 4 times it was so cute! So now she is doing cat, more, all done, milk, water and daddy. Yeah Keaini!!! She is also eating like a pig. Just this week she has almost doubled the amount of solids that she is eating and has really cut down on how much she wants to nurse. I kinda miss it I think because its a true sign that she is growing up. Oh and she has mastered drinking from a cup, not a sippy cup but a real cup she just has to learn not to give the cat so many drinks. :)

Bye bye for now I'l l update you on the David and Galliath story soon...

Here comes the sun...

I love it, I love it, I love it!!! Keiani and I have been spending so much time out side we practically live out side now. I think we actually only went inside for naps the past 2 days. It's been Fabulous!

We currently have an extra baby in the house. My cousin is staying with us for a few days untill she gets on her feet again (long story). Untill then Keiani has a new friend who just happens to be only 3 months older than her. She is loving it so far at least she is when they aren't trying to play with the same toy. I think we may take her to the park when I get done working today. You know show her the sites.

So here's to sunny skies and happy babies! :)

Obama for my Mamma

So I've been watching the news lately and as all of you have probably noticed it all seems to center around the impending election. Lets just get this out there, I am a democrat and I beleive that we need some one new in office, someone that can and will change things for the better. Change our health care our social security and really change the situation in Iraq. I beleive that Senater Obama will do this. I think the polls have shown that a vast majority of people beleive the same thing.
My issue is that there has been alot of Democrats that have come out and said that if it comes down to Obama and McCain they will vote for McCain regardless of what political party they belong to or wether or not they share his views on pollicy. Their reason... Because he is black. Really people are we still in that place?
There has also been an overwhelming amount fraud mail being sent out claiming that Obama is Muslim. Not only is that not true but 1. since when did we incorporate religion and state? 2. There is nothing wrong with being muslim there are extremist in every religion.
I still can't believe that people beleive everything they hear. The emails are not true. Stop buying into what closed minded people tell you!
I hope that when election day comes people will forget what race or sex our candidates are and simply vote for the best person for the job.

Sorry Its been so long

Sorry It's been so long since I've posted we have been busy,busy. I promised to post this evening though so for those of you out there eager to hear our business here you go. We are stillllll working on getting the house in order. It gets messy and unorganized and cluttered so easily then seems to take forever to get back order. So far we are about 50% there. We Also got some new stuff. We got our new snuggle chair on Friday and our new washer and dryer on Monday. Since we are listing new stuff I also got some awsome mothers day gifts. I got a set of covered baking dishes from my mom and a new Kitchen Aid stand mixer from Andrew.

As for Mothers day we had a big extravaganza on Saturday at my Moms. It was a Birthday/Mothers day combo party for her. We all had a great time. Mothers day itself was fairly uneventful, which is always nice. We went out for breakfast (nothings better than someone else doing the dishes). Then we relaxed visited Andrews mom and Terry and Chasity. The rest of the day was laid back we rearranged the living room and watched movies.

Monday night (tonight) we headed north to Canada to visit with Andrews very pregnant sister Michelle. It was a nice dinner and Keiani had a blast playing with her cousins.

Well this is enough for now. Have an excellent week every one we'll see you when we see you :)

The Sweetest things

Sorry I haven't posted in a while it's been rather uneventful this past week, so not to much to report on. Except for last night, are you ready? Drum roll please......... Keiani slept all night long! Even though it took a very long, very stressful full hour to get her to go to bed last night she slept from 10:30pm untill 7am then nursed and fell back asleep untill 8:30!!! This has happened once before and it was a one time deal so I dont plan on getting my hopes up to much. I have to get used to sleeping through the night as well because I was up like 3 times last night for no reason. grrr... It would have been nice for everyone to get a full nights sleep. Lets all hope this is the begining of something beautiful.

In regards to the pictures posted above this is Keiani climbing the outside of my mothers stairs! Don't worry she didn't get to far after Grandma snapped the photos :)
