First t-ball game and 11 weeks old!

Jessica ans Sagen making their famous pose at Jessica's birthday party.

This weekend Sagen had her first T-ball game and she loved it. She hit the ball really far and scored for her team. She gets a little bit bored in the outfield. That is no surprise because her attention span is about 5 minutes at the most. She didn't lay down and pick flowers which was a good thing since she did that during practice. School has been going really good. I can't believe that this is my third week back! Slayde is doing great at the babysitter. She says that he is a really good baby. We take him Friday for his two month check up and for shots. I don't have much time to blog but here are a few pictures

sweetest smile

Well today is officially my first day back at work. I did really good this morning and didn't even cry when I left Slayde at the sitter. He was smiling at her and they were both really happy. Sagen was pumped to go to mimi's house too. She was talking 100 miles per hour! I'm sure you can imagine. This weekend I was so sick! I started throwing up Saturday night and through up all night long. It was awful. Rusty and the kids went to his parents house Saturday night so they wouldn't get sick. I was up all night sick but I feel better today, just really weak. Check out the picture of his sweet gummy smile!

Hoppy Easter!!

Isn't he getting big!

She is so grown up!

I loved this picture of Sagen and Keatyn in their matching dresses!

Sagen climbed inside a big tractor tire and I thought it made a cute picture!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter break! We had a great holiday and are so thankful for the real reason we celebrate Easter. Don't we have a wonderful Lord and Savior! Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt at our preacher's house and then that afternoon we went to Stanton where we hunted eggs and Sagen got to play with all her cousins on Rusty's side.. She had SO much fun! She cried when we had to leave. She got to play with horses and ride 4-wheelers so of course shd didn't want to leave. Sunday we went to church in Lamesa and then came to my mom's for lunch. The kids had a blast hunting eggs.

Fluffy and Sparkles

Ok, most of yall are going to think we have absolutely lost our mind but if you read the post before this one you could probably predict what was to come...we got ducks! Two of them... After Sagen spent the night with Kamryn and Casen she had to have two ducks of her own and of course her daddy can't tell her no! haha They are actually quite cute and I'm probably more attached to them than she is. One is green and one orange. She named them sparkles and fluffy (no idea why). I tell her every day that we are going to have to take them to the duck pond so they could find their mommy and daddy because we are just babysitting. I hope it goes good when we set them free and there are no tears! Here is a picture of our latest additions!

fun with cousins!

Blowing out her candles even though it wasn't her birthday

Annoying her big cousin, Jackson. Doesn't he look thrilled! haha

Well this week was fairly uneventful. Slayde is still colicy and not a "fun" baby right now. I keep telling myself it won't be this way for long! He is great when he doesn't have gas but almost every evening like clock work he starts fussing and screaming at around 8 until abuot 2 in the morning. I'm taking any suggestions on what to do for colic if you have any! Thursday Sagen got her hair cut at the beauty shop for the first time ever. She was very nervous but she did good. We cut about 3 inches off and she looks so much older! The next morning when she woke up she ran to the mirror to make sure her hair was still cut! it was pretty cute. Sagen had a slumber party with Kamryn, Casen, and Keatyn on Friday night. They got a duck for Easter and Sagen had to see it. Saturday afternoon we had Brittney and Jackson's birthday parties at Burt and Maryetta's house. Sagen had fun playing and even had to blow out her own candles. She was convinced it was her birthday too! Here are a few pictures!

Daddy's home!

being silly playing dress up

Sagen and Keat. The older they get the more fun they have playing! I'm sure they will be really close in junior high/high school!

Even Jess can play in the box!

Daddy got home from Houston and had to catch up on some quality nap time with Slayde!

Well Rusty made it in from Houston on Monday and we have been enjoying a relaxing Spring Break. We really haven't done anything fun~the weather has been absolutely crazy! One day it is 70 and today the high is 34! We got a new dishwasher over the break. Who would have thought that Sagen would have so much fun in the box! My mom and sister came over on Friday to see Sagen and Slayde. Sagen really enjoyed playing with Keatyn. Jessica also came over and played with Sagen one night. Sagen has started feeling left out so this really helps her out (and gives me a break!) On Thursday night we took Slayde out for his first outing. We went to Midland and ate and went to Target. He was an absolute angel and slept the whole time we ate. He got a little fussy at Target but nothing too bad. Here are a few pictures! Hope you enjoy

Spring Break!

Wide Eyed!

Yes, he still has some crazy hair!

He is really starting to develop a personality!

Well tomorrow officially starts Spring Break and I know most people are excited to be out of school for a week. I am excited but sad at the same time because it means that we are getting closer to when I have to go back to work. I hate to leave Slayde and have someone else raise my children, but I trust my babysitter and that is worth a lot! Since last Sunday we have been staying at my parent's house in Brownfield while Rusty has been in Houston. It has been an eventful week! I started out the week sick but feel much better. We took Sagen and Slayde to the Dr. on Tuesday because I thought Slayde was getting stuffy. Friday night Sagen started screaming and crying in her sleep. She said that her ear hurt so bad. She hadn't complained about it all day long so I didn't take her to the doctor. The first thing Saturday morning, my mom took her to the doctor here in Brownfield. She did have an ear infection and the doctor gave her an antibiotic and some ear drops. Saturday night I had put Sagen to bed and after about 30 minutes she came into the play room saying that she was itching. I took her pajamas off and she was covered in little red bumps. I called the pharmacist and the on-call nurse at my pediatrician and they think that she was having an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Talk about stress! I gave her benadryl and put some cream on the bumps and sent her back to bed. The good thing is that Sunday morning the bumps were gone. I am going to call her doctor tomorrow to ask about switching her antibiotic. I didn't give it to her today. Also, Slayde likes to sleep until 4 in the morning and then he's up. So to put it mildly...I'm ready for Rusty to be home! My parents have been a huge help and the kids have really enjoyed being here. The best news is that he will be home tomorrow! Here are a few pictures from our week in Brownfield.
