What's New?!
Wow, sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. So much has gone on since the last time I blogged.
First off, please look at the posts below here. You might even have to click on older posts at the bottom because I have added a lot of pictures to different posts of Harper and Kendall over the past 2 months.
So what is new with us! Lots!!!
Kendall is 3 now! Pictures to follow in this post. He turned 3 on June 13 and we celebrated his birthday at the Courtland air and car show. He had a blast and what a great day it was. All of his grandparents and a few close friends of ours were there to help celebrate. It was a rainy day, but it turned out beautiful! He is also fully potty trained, both day and night-pee and poop. Go Kendall. I purchased the 3daypottytraining e-book and potty trained him in 3 days. Granted I stayed glued to my back porch for a week with the help of my mom to help me with Harper, but we got him trained and I highly recommend this method to anyone in the potty training mode! I will use it on Harper as well if she needs it.
Harper is growing rather quickly. She was two months old on Saturday. How did that happen so fast?! She has outgrown all her newborn clothes and diapers and we are quickly outgrowing size 1 diapers too. She is nothing like Kendall was when it comes to weight. She is already 12lbs! Kendall was 9lbs at 2 months. I suspect by her 2month appointment on Monday, she will be 13lbs. She definatly does not miss a meal! She is sleeping pretty good. She is going 4-6 hrs a night(except the past two) and 3-4 hrs during the day between feedings. Unfortunatly she has reflux like Kendall did and we are currently testing meds to see what works best for her. I'm doing nexium right now. She does have some screaming fits at night, not sure if it is colic or not. They stopped for awhile, but has come back, so we aren't sure what is going on. I still say overall, she is a pretty easygoing and happy baby. I know people that have much worse on their hands, so I thank my lucky stars and will deal with some crying from time to time. She is losing her hair too. It makes me sad, but I know it will come back. She still has most of it in the back at the bottom. It is looking a lot lighter though. We are still trying to decide who she looks like. She has very blue eyes that keep getting lighter and lighter, so I think they are going to stay blue. Yay for my dominant eyes! I really wanted a blue eyed brunette. I got the blue eyed part. The brunette is still to be determined.
Kasey had some minor surgery done a couple weeks ago and lets just leave it as we are done having kids. Not that I wanted anymore anyway especially after that last pregnancy, but we are official now.
I'm off work until August 5. I'm really enjoying the time I'm getting to spend with the kids. Kendall is going to school 1-2 days a week, and with me the rest of the time. We have our morning cartoon time each morning and I'm really enjoying it. I'm going to miss both of them when I have to go back to the real world and make some money. At least I'll be able to buy something then!
I'll leave you with some pictures from Kendall's Birthday!

Smiles for Momma!
Harper started "real" smiles on Kendall's third birthday-June 13. What a sweet girl she is!
Kendall and his water table
A few weeks ago my niece and nephew were visiting from Virginia and Kendall wanted to play in his water table. Well next thing we know he is in his water table. He told me he was taking a bath. Crazy Boy!
Loving Siblings
Kendall loves his baby sister. This picture was from early June. We have time we spend together each morning now that I'm off work for a while. Each morning Kendall comes down and watches cartoons while I continue to snooze a bit. He loves Harper so much and always wants to hold her. What a sweet picture of the two of them!
Harper week 4 and Kendall

The beginning of my Lily's
Some of you may not know, but Lily's are one of my favorite flowers, hence my new baby girls middle name. Here are a couple of pictures of some of my lily's beginning to bloom. The bed that they are in is only Lily's. There are all kinds of lily's in there.
Happy 70th Birthday Carolyn!
I just wanted to wish my dear friend/coworker Carolyn a very Happy 70th Birthday. She is a very special and dear friend to me and my kids. I couldn't let the day go by without bringing Harper to the office for her to hold. I also had to be there for the "BIG" surprise that her niece Candi did for her. I was in on the surprise, so I knew about it, but Carolyn was very surprised when Candi flew in from Colorado to take her to Charleston, SC for a few days for her birthday. Happy Birthday Carolyn! We love you!!

A trip to the Botanical Garden
Mom and I took a trip to the Botanical Garden on Tuesday while Kendall was in school. It was a beautiful day. We have not had many days with sunshine, so we took advantage of it while we could. The flowers were gorgeous and the butterfly house was full of butterflies. We had lunch at Clementine's and then picked Kendall up at school. It was a good day.
Mother's Day 2009
Mother's Day was a great day. It was wonderful to have both my kids this year. Harper was not supposed to be here yet, so it was extra special to have her here too. Kasey is turning our back porch into a sunroom, so that is my Mother's Day! We went over to mom and dad's for dinner. Dad grilled burgers and we had corn on the cob as well. Overall it was a great day. I think the best thing about it though is just being the mommy to the two most amazing kids. I love them so much!
