I'm a cowgirl, baby!

I love these pictures! And, check out those intense eyes!(and eyebrows) She got those babies from Troy's side! Her and Daeson both have the dark, thick eyebrows.

She's so pretty

Even with the helmet, I think Kaebryn is just pretty. I know I'm her mom and I have to say it, but I truly believe she is beautiful!! She is getting so big, too. She loves attention and has started posing for pictures. As soon as she sees the flash, she squints her eyes and smiles. I just love her to pieces!

Stick em up!

The boys decided to be robbers today. Daeson got all decked out in his cowboy attire...hat, chaps, boots, shirt and bandana. Tevan has a bandana and hat on. They were pretending to rob the "restranaut" as Tevan calls it.

Kaebryn's helmet update

I took Kaebryn in for her helmet visit on Thursday. The first time we had her measured, she was a 19. When she got fitted, she was a 12. Thursday she was a 5! DJ, the specialist, was shocked that she, in three weeks, went to a 5. It is looking so much better. She still gets sweaty. She still has a smelly head...but she has adjusted to it. She gets it off for a half hour at bath time and then another half hour when I get her dressed in the morning. She did have it off for three hours the other day when Troy took the kids swimming. DJ said it might only be three months she has to have it, instead of the four originally planned. Yeah!

Bath with brother

Kaebrun loves baths! Tonight she took a quick bath with Daeson. He like to be a helper!

Bath time

Kaebryn and I took a bath tonight with bubbles! We turned the jets on and the bubbles just kept growing! She loved it!

My pretty girl

Kaebryn loves taking baths! She always looks so cute when she is all wrapped up!

Face lift

The last three days our house has been getting a face lift. We added siding to our home. It turned out GREAT! Rocky Mountain Siding was the company. Super nice, super efficient and they cleaned everything up...looks better than it did before they came! Our home is so pretty now! If anyone is looking for siding, I refer them. Very, very reasonable pricing, too! As soon as the wind stops blowing, I will post pictures.

Our siding

Well, our house looks waaay better! I should have taken a before picture!

If you scroll down, you will see I added a bunch of posts with pictures!

Life in the fast lane

I cannot believe it is January already! We are keeping busy, very busy. We have been to several appointments for Kaebryn's helmet. She is now wearing it for 23 hours a day and has adjusted to it. It smells really bad though, so I have not gotten used to it 100%. She is sweet and doesn't seem to mind. We have seen changes already only having it 8 days.

Troy is back into school with a HUGE load. He has Anat and Phys, microbiology, inorganic chemistry, child development and labs. He dropped jogging and has decided to get use out of our treadmill instead. I am very proud of him. He has a lot going on right now.

Daeson is doing well in school. In fact he claims he needs to skip elementary and go to the 10th grade. He is so silly. He is growing tall and is quite handsome if I do say so. I had to have a talk with him the other day because he started a HOT GIRLS club. He told the cute girls in his class they could join if they wanted to. I told him it probably wasn't very nice to call girls "HOT" and that maybe he should use terms like pretty or cute. I also told him he could have just a friend club and he could let everyone in his club...I got shot down. I don't know what I'm gonna do with him when he is 16...I can barely contain him at 6!!

Tevan is funny. We were flipping through Netflix and he saw Puss and Boots. He exclaimed, "Poison Boots, Mom! I want to watch Poison Boots!" While at Kaebryn's last appointment, he saw a figurine of Mary Poppins and said, "I love Harry Poppers Mom!" He gets so excited about everything. I, however, have started getting anxiety over him starting first grade in September. It's gonna be an adjustment for his teacher, me and him! He is growing...slllooooowwwly. He did reach 33 lbs. He finally outgrew most of his 3T clothes. Finally. He will be five in June.

Me. I have had to adjust to being a single parent again. It has been hard but totally worth it...or will be in the end. I have tried to get some projects done. I got taxes ready to send, my sister in law's baby present done (one to go), I am helping in Daeson's class still and I have applied to be a substitute teacher for the school district. I think it would be fun to sub in elementary. I am still trying to get my cake business going, but that's been slow. Between all the errands, relief society stuff and just everything in general, life has certainly kept me busy and it doesn't seem like it is slowing down anytime soon. If I could burn 10 calories for every thought running through my mind, I would be a size 2.

Hittin the books

Tevan and I decided to pay Troy a visit in his office. He is hard at work with this sememster. I cannot say how proud I am of him enough!!

Kaebryn's helmet

I thought I had more pictures than this, but I do not. Here is Kaebryn in her helmet. I have a lot of people stop me to ask what it is...kinda funny. She is used to it now and hardly complains!

Look who sits up!

I cannot believe how fast time goes and how quickly Kaebryn grows! She is sitting up and has two teeth! I lobe her little smile and her blue eyes! What a doll! Tevan has fun playing with her while Daeson is at school. They are becoming quite the friends! I tried to get pics of her teeth, but she didn't like the camera in her face! You can kind of see it in one of the pics. Her first one cut over New Year's...the bottom left. Now that right one is popping up. She does not like teething!

Helmet therapy

Kaebryn got her helmet today. She hates it and I hate fighting her with it. We are going to take it in tomorrow to have it adjusted a little better. It digs into her collar bone. It will do well for her and she will not have to be crooked the rest of her life. It just pains me to hear her cry so hard and so long. She really does not like it. Today she had to have it on an hour off an hour...clear until she went to bed. Tomorrow it is on two hours, off an hour until she goes to bed. Day three is on for most of the day and by day five we should be up to 23 hours and off an hour. She will have it a few months and, if the plan works, she will have a beautiful head when we are all done. This I pray for.

She is such a sweet girl and I just love her. She will be 7 months Saturday. How quickly time flies. She is just so incredibly fun!
