9 Months (a little late)

My sweet pea was 9 months old on the 16th! Hard to believe... She is becoming such a 'little person'!
She makes us laugh EVERYDAY, multiple times a day. She has such a great personality! Always happy and always aiming to please. She loves it when she makes you laugh and will repeat whatever she is doing to make you laugh, over and over again when she realizes you are laughing at her. She loves to clap, she loves to shake her head 'no', she loves to stand up, pull up on everything including the dogs!
We went to get my MMR shot the other day so I weighed her while I was there and she is tipping the scales at 19 pounds! She is so tall you would never guess she ways that much. All of her pants are 12M and most tops are still 6-12M!

We have been so crazy busy with Graham starting school and hockey! He leaves the house at 7:30 and gets home around 7:30 (3-4 days a week)! Games start next week so we will also be losing him on Friday/Saturday nights!!!! It sucks so bad, but we know that it has to be done right now. It is defiantly a means to an end. It will be like that for the next 5 months and then it will slow down a little once hockey is over! We will be so ready for April 29th to get here.

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful week!

Diaper Rash is Controlling my life

Diaper Rash is the worst thing I think I have ever encountered!!!
Hadley has been battling diaper rash (off and on) for the last 6 weeks!!! Before that she had it right after she was born but never since then!!! I feel so bad for her! We have done absolutely everything to cure it! The doctor says its just a part of teething, but OMG, she is going to get 20 teeth over the next two years??? Is her little bum going to be in misery for 2 years? We have been to the doctor several times and through 2 prescription creams... The second works for a couple of days at a time and then its back! We are only using wash clothes, not wipes... We change her at least every 2 hours, sometimes more! She screams every time she pees, or poops and is hysterical when we lay her down to change her because she knows what is coming! I feel so helpless! WHAT DO I DO!!!! If you were wondering, this occurs in the night as well!!! Good bye my great sleeper! And I am sorry but I will not let my child 'cry it out' when I know she is in pain!!!! After I change her, sometimes multiple times in the night, she goes right back to sleep, so I know that its just the burning on her bum!
Again! What do I do???

Anniversary Night

Graham and I had such a great Anniversary night I just had to post a pic!

2 Years of Wedded Bliss

I Love this Man

I cant believe it has been 2 years since I married the greatest man alive!

Graham- Thank you for being a wonderful husband and amazing Daddy to Hadley. We are so blessed to have you in our lives. I will never figure out 'why' you picked me to spend your life with, but I will never stop thanking God that you did. I love more today than when we 1st started dating almost 4 years ago, and more than I did the day you made me that happiest woman alive 2 years ago when you married me.

I love more than youll ever know.

CRAWLING!!!!

So last Thursday, August 26,2010 Hadley officially started crawling! We are so proud of her but we, of course, both missed it!!!! GRRR! I am with her 24/7 and I missed it! We were over at a friends house Thursday night and while G was out in the field working I decided to take Baxy for a walk (he cant be off a leash for 14days) so I left Hads inside with Sandra and went for a walk... I was outside maybe 10 minutes and when I got back in she was crawling across the living room! UGH! But YEAH! She has been working on it for a while, scooting a long, but finally got the courage to take off! We love her so much and cant believe how fast this is all going...
Hope everyone enjoys the video! Please excuse the mess and her funny outfit. We had no plans of going out the day I recorded this video! :0

When will it end?

Anyone that knows us, or reads the blog, knows that we are having a streak or bad luck!
We just want to know when it will end!!!

From the start... Graham has been working double shirts to earn extra money since he won't be working while in school. So he works on the oil rig from 11p-7am, comes home and sleeps until about noon, the goes a works for a friend in his farm until dinner time. Today he wanted to take Bax with him because he has been so depressed without Add! Since I was going into town to hopefully pick up Add I dropped them both off around 1 and headed into town!!! About 15 minutes later G called in a panic saying he would meet at the vet with Bax!!! I guess Bax decided to b brave or an idiot and jump up on the swather(machine G was on) and SEVERLY SEVERED his leg! To clarify they werent operating the machine, it was stopped and they were working on it. We are lucky it wasn't his head and he is alive, but COME ON! So Addicus still didn't get to come home and now Baxter had surgery last night! LIKE I SAID, CAN WE CATCH A FREAKING BREAK!!! When it rains it our house, it doesn't just rain, we get a hurricane!


Baxter is doing good today and will maybe come home tonight. We will know more around lunch.

Sorry to keep bringing everyone down... Hopefully will have happier post soon.

8 Months

Here are some of Hadley's 8 month pictures that our good friend Callie took while we were in OKC! They turned out so great! Thank you again Callie! You are so wonderful!

I have no ides what her deal was with sticking her tongue out that day, but its almost every picture! haha. She is getting so big. She is 18 pounds (ish), pulling up on everything! She doesn't crawl, but gets on all 4's and scoots. She will rock a while and then give up and try to stand! She loves standing! I say it every time but I really cant believe how fast time is going! We are so blessed to have such an angel in our lives!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
