We first bought the house in Spring of 2011. We remodeled the existing 1500 square foot house ourselves with the exception of both bathrooms. We did not do anything to the exterior although it was in desperate need of a makeover. We knew one day we wanted to do an addition and didn't see the point in spending money on something that would eventually be redone. So we waited. We were able to redo the two bathrooms in the existing house over the next few years then we finally decided it was time to begin our addition plans five years after purchasing the property. Les Curtis was our builder and he did a great job. So here it is... hope you love it as much as we do.<br />

Miss Harper Wells was born on June 17 at 2:00 p.m. (central time). She weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 21 inches long. All of my deliveries have went really well but Miss Wells delivery takes the cake. It was easy (with an epidural) and quick. She was perfect and beautiful. From the very first moment she has been the easiest and happiest baby. We left the hospital after only being there 24 hours total. We all feel instantly in love with her and she has been a joy every day. All of her sisters adore her and she shares her love to all. We love you and couldn't imagine our lives without you. </div>

She was perfect in every way and beautiful. To say we love her doesn't even do it justice. Braid and Kate adore her and I believe Jude is loving them just as much. They have all been wonderful and such good little girls. I just love them! Here are few pictures of our little one and her sisters. Welcome to our family Jude, We love you!<br />

Kate turns 2...</h2>
<div>
We recently just celebrated Kate's birthday and I can't believe she is already 2. Each birthday for the girls, I make a cake that celebrates something they are currently fascinated with or their favorite thing at the moment. For Kate, it has been the love of hair. This has been a love of hers since she was born. If you are holding her, then she will be playing with your hair. She loves brushing hair and playing with her own. She was especially proud that her own hair could be put in pig tails. So the cake was of a little girl with a pony tail. They definitely are not professional but I do the best that I can. This one turned out pretty cute. We had a few friends and family over to the house for cake and ice cream then we opened presents. Then it was off to outside to swing and play with the kittens.</div>

<div>
A few little things about Kate...</div>
<div>
1. She is an affectionate person and friendly with most people. </div>
<div>
2. She is a complete goofball and loves to be silly.</div>
<div>
3. She talks very well for her age with a pretty big vocabulary. </div>
<div>
4. She loves to play with Braid and adores her but refuses to be told what to do or how to do it. </div>
<div>
5. If she is pushed to her limit or just slightly annoyed by her sister, she will pinch you (very hard).</div>
<div>
6. She isn't a picky eater but still does not like potatoes in any shape or form. She loves sweets, yogurt, most fruits and vegetables. </div>
<div>
7. She has gotten much faster and become a little bit a of dare devil when it comes to climbing and jumping off of things. I think her motto is currently, "I can do anything you can do."</div>
<div>
8. When asked if she is excited about her baby sister, she used to say No, it has now changed to Yes, but followed with a I don't know what I am going to do when she gets here. (This will be a rude awakening most likely)</div>
<div>
9. She loves babydolls and plays with them the most. </div>
<div>
10. She loves to go to class at church and loves to sing songs (usually a little behind but this does not phase her one bit).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We love you Kate. You make everyday fun and your hugs, kisses and I love you to us all make us all feel so loved. Your joyful personality can make us all laugh and we wouldn't trade you for the world. Happy Birthday and we look forward to many more. Love Daddy, Momma, and Braid</div>
<div>

Thanksgiving Roadtrip</h2>
<div>
Texico, NM to Edmond, OK to Springfield, MO to Mayfield, KY to Nashville, TN to McEwen, TN back to Texico. Wow, are you tired yet? Our DRIVING trip was marked with a success. We couldn't have asked for the girls to be better and we all had a great time. Every place we stopped was filled with family and fun. I thought that I took more pictures than I did (which is usually the case with me) so a few stops didn't have any pictures. Why do I forget to take pictures? Anyways, we are so thankful for a safe trip and wonderful family. We love you all and thank you for sharing your homes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Horseback riding in MO. The girls absolutely loved it despite it being freezing. Thank you Uncle Tyler. We stayed with Uncle Thomas and Aunt Donna. They really put the standard high for the rest of the trip. Uncle Mike and Aunt Bryn drove down to visit with us while we were there. Such a special treat. </div>

Riding horses at Robert and Angela's. Also, the girls got to get an egg that was laid by one of Angela's chickens. The egg didn't even get broken after being handled by about 5 kids. That's amazing if you ask me.<br />

So sad I didn't get any pictures from Nashville. We got to stay with Conor and Boothe's family. It was perfect and we all had a blast. I think we were having so much fun, I just forgot the camera. All the Mayfield's got together Saturday night and had a blast cheering on Auburn. I love family time.</div>

Tybee Island</h2>
<div>
Nana treated us to a special trip down to Tybee Island and Savannah, GA. We all loved loved the beach even though it was really cold. We will definitely be going to the beach in the future. Kate was not a huge fan of the sand on her feet. She has sensitive feet (silly girl) but still loved it. If the water was warm enough to was the sand off of them then she would be perfectly happy. Braid on the other hand would rather be completely frozen than leave the beach. She loved every part of it, including the seagulls who attacked you at any sign of food. Having a picnic on the beach would be out of the question. It was a really fun place to visit and there was so much to do. We went to Savannah one day and did a tour and lots of sight seeing. What a fun town full of history. We also climbed the Tybee Island lighthouse. Braid walked all the way up and down by herself. I also did it pregnant. I'm pretty proud of us both. I just love the joy and happiness in the girls faces in all these pictures. </div>

Bryn and Mike came over the last night before they had to go home. The girls got to have horseback rides and were in heaven. We had so much fun and got to hear some pretty funny stories about Mike's childhood. Love you guys. Come home soon again.</div>

I'm going in reverse order. I don't know if I will make it all the way back to my last post. This winter has been full of events and fun.<br />

Snow Day</h2>
<div>
Braid was so excited for snow. We missed the big snow of the winter but at least we got to go play a little bit. She really wants to play sports (sledding, building a snowman, etc.) but we just didn't have enough so she is still praying really hard for more snow and rain everyday. </div>

<h2>
Ruidoso Trip with the Ellsworth Family</h2>
<div>
We had a blast in Ruidoso with some great friends. The girls did not want to leave and honestly neither did I. It was relaxing and fun all at the same time. A perfect way to end the winter before we get busy with farming and adding another little one to our family. The girls all slept in the same room and did great. Their first official sleepover and both parents got to be a part of it. We roasted marshmallows (for smores), climbed the biggest rock in the world (according to Natalie), and shopped downtown. We also stayed up until 2 in the morning playing a game called Settlers of Catan. I haven't been up that late since I can't remember. </div>

Playing a Game of Hide and Seek with Braid and Kate</h3>
After an exhilarating game of Hide and Seek with the girls tonight, the award for Best Seeker goes to Miss Braid Stevens and the award for Best Hider goes to Miss Kate Stevens. I've always known that Kate was a good hider. She does it all the time to me and scares me half to death. She isn't afraid of the dark, is as quiet as a mouse and can stay perfectly still for long periods of time. It doesn't matter how long or how loud you may yell, she isn't going to expose her hiding spot. I looked for her one day for at least 10 minutes and was really starting to freak out when I heard a small movement in the bathroom. She had climbed in the bottom cabinet under the sink and had closed the door behind her. This was my first experience with her hiding. A new one if the clothes racks at the department stores and just this last Sunday at church, she hid in a completely dark classroom against the wall. Luckily I had seen her go in or I don't know how I would have found her. It would have been the entire church on a search party. It was tonight however that I discovered Braid was so good at finding me. I really tried to hide well and she would find me within seconds. She has always been observant and a good listener (when she wants to hear). It was also exciting to play a game that both girls understood the concept. Kate can only count to two but she repeats two about 5 times so it evens out in the end on time being aloud to hide.<br />

<h3>
Horseback Riding</h3>
<div>
The girls and I also have another big accomplish this past month. We have been able to go horseback riding all by ourselves. We have some very sweet friends that let us use their two horses. The horses are amazing and very trustworthy. I am able to put Braid on her horse first and then put Kate up on the horse that I ride with her. I then get up with Kate and then grab the lead for Braid's horse. The first 30 minutes are always the best. Kate holds on to the saddle horn and the horses tend to not test you as much. Then after about the first half hour, Kate begins to grow tired and you have to hold her up as well as pull Braid's horse and keep it from trying to eat grass along the way. I can only last for about an hour but we still have lots of fun. Braid has also been practicing using the reins and riding by herself in the pen after we finish our ride. She is doing really well and I am anxious to go for a ride with just her. Braid would ride all day and I am looking forward to the longer rides as well. I wasn't able to take pictures when we went by ourselves but we went again with some friends and I was able to take some pictures.</div>

I am also trying to teach them a few simple rules like don't walk behind the horses, etc. This is how I find Kate most of the time after I turn around for a few seconds. Hugging the horses entire head. Braid and Kate both do not have any fear around the horses, this is a good and bad thing in my opinion.<br />

<h3>
Loving the Country Life</h3>
<div>
The girls and I have been soaking up the last days of Fall weather and enjoying playing in the dirt. Both Braid and Kate love to play outside. If they have dirt, some sort of utensil (stick, shovel, cup, etc.) and rocks then they can make it hours. Add water into the mix and you double your time. Neither one could care less about staying clean so that makes us all very happy. We may have dirt in our hair, under our fingernails and in our pockets but that doesn't stop the fun.</div>

If this doesn't express her true love of mud and the sun then I don't know what else could...</div>

Drama</h3>
Yesterday in particular was full of drama. I feel as if I got a glimpse into my girls junior high days except it will be more on the emotional side instead of the physical side of drama.<br />
<br />
We had driven home from Abilene that morning and had actually had a pleasant drive home. Kate slept half of the way which is record for her and Braid watched movies or played with toys. We were still all tired from a really fun weekend but in pleasant moods. The girls ran around the house playing together while I tired to put away clothes and clean up the house. After a few hours, the girls were playing in Braid's room while I sat down to rest for a minute. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and then heard a crash... Braid screaming and then Kate crying. I jumped up and ran to the room to find that Kate is lying on the floor with water, glitter and a few pieces of small glass on her head. Braid is standing in the closet shaking and screaming; the dresser in her room is pulled half way down with the drawers pulled out and some are lying on the floor. I run to Kate and exam her for any injuries. She has a red mark across her back and a few small marks on her stomach but no blood. Braid starts explaining the scene before I even ask probably assuming I would think that it was somehow her doings. She said that she was in the closet playing and Kate tried to climb the dresser and it fell. She wasn't doing anything wrong but Kate was. It was obviously the truth by the scene and her lack of detail. Detail and a lengthy story usually give her away when she isn't quite telling the truth. Anyways after cleaning up Kate and the mess of a broken snow globe we were all ok. Then Braid decides she is ready to take her bath while Kate eats a yogurt for her snack. This is usually a relaxing event however after putting Braid in the bath and then getting Kate's snack ready, Braid begins screaming again. I run to the bathroom and she says there is a tiny spider swimming in her bath. She is terrified it is going to get on her so she is moving around as quickly as she can as I try to get the spider out. We finally get the spider out so I got back to help Kate. Then Braid starts screaming again so I run back in there and she has knocked a mosquito bite scab off of the top of her foot and it is bleeding a tiny bit but the blood is freaking her out. She is screaming crying at the top of her lungs. I washed her hair and body as quickly as possible during the crying fit and then carry her to the couch. She is so upset that she now has hives on her legs. As I am putting the bandage on her foot and turning on Curious George to calm her down, Kate starts screaming. She has stuck her hand in the yogurt container and it is now stuck. Like a raccoon after a shiny object in a hole she refuses to unclench her hand. She then slings it to try to get it off and it does come off as well as all the remaining yogurt which goes flying everywhere. Needless to say, we were all exhausted at the end of the day and ready for bed. Sorry for such a lengthy story but I wanted to have this one written in the books so I can be thankful for all the non-dramatic days.<br />

Dale, Bailey and Felix made the trip out here so Dale could build Grandma a new beautiful deck. We are all very thankful and have been enjoying it ever since. We also got to spend some time with them and get to know little Felix. It was a wonderful time. For the record, Dale had lots and lots of help building the deck as you can see. lol. Just kidding Dale.<br />

By the end, the girls were getting a little cold. Also, Bo and Seth decided it would be fun to jump off of the sprinkler into the water. The water was deep enough because of an old tailwater pit. I was just praying there wasn't some pipe in the water we couldn't see. We all had a blast except for Natalie. She was not a huge fan of not being able to see her feet under the water. I really can't blame her when I wore water boots the whole time.<br />

<br />
Today we celebrated your third birthday. You have been waiting for your birthday to get here since Cason celebrated his in November. In January you told me that you wanted to have a tea party for your birthday with chocolate cake (later changed to white) with your best friends Cason, Natalie and Emery. I was shocked that you never changed your mind and stuck with a tea party till the end. So we planned your little party and it couldn't have been more fun (except for the wind). The wind couldn't stop you from having fun and that is what I love so much about you. You live life to the fullest every day. Happy Birthday baby girl! We love you.<br />

The Many Critters We Have Found on the Farm...<br />
1. baby coyote - Bo caught this little gal behind our house in our evergreen trees. She was probably only a couple of weeks old. I missed getting a picture of her. Sorry.<br />
2. horny toad - Braid and Sarge were quite fascinated with him.<br />
3. hognose snake<br />
4. a turtle<br />
5. three baby kittens<br />
6. six baby rabbits<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment. We have had lots of fun on the farm.<br />

This week we are participating in VBS. Braid is in heaven, loving every minute of it. Kate's world has been turned upside down. Kate starts crying the minute we walk in the door, continues crying through the drop off and then cries when I pick her up as if to say how can you do this to me. We also took the pacifier away on Monday. She has done really well except for nap time. We have actually gotten worse each day so I'm not quite sure what to expect. Needless to say, this has probably been the worst week of her life in her eyes. (Note: Just finishing the blog post and we have now made it to Friday; Kate is doing really well without the pacifier and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel)<br />

She wants to pick out her own clothes (very opinionated; will only wear dresses most of the time), she wants to shower by herself, and she wants to go the bathroom by herself. The latter of the three is where today got a little interesting. She picked out a pink silky dress and her pink jelly shoes to go to the grocery store. A little dressed up but better than the first alternative which was an Easter dress. Before leaving the house to get the store she had to go the bathroom and insisted on being allowed to go by herself. I'm trying to get out the door so I allow it, and it was only number one so surely not too much harm can be done; one would assume. We get loaded in the car and off to the store we go. As we are walking into the store, we are all excited to see that the one shopping cart shaped like a car with the two steering wheels is available. This is a rare occasion in which I am always very thankful. As I am lifting Braid into the cart, I notice she seems a little bare and to my surprise she is not wearing any panties. There is no returning home at this point so we carry on. I purposely did not buckle her in so that maybe the dress would keep too many parts from touching and maybe the dress wouldn't ride up. As we are doing our grocery shopping, I forget about the missing panties. The shopping is going wonderful with both of the girls occupied with driving the cart. We get to check out and I have too many bags to fit back in the cart so the sweet bagger boy helps carry out some of my groceries. We load the car while the girls are still sitting in the cart. The boy then waits to take the cart back and this is when I realize Braid has buckled herself; I panic a little as I am trying to get it undone and not reveal that my daughter is not wearing panties. I finally get her unbuckled after a few sweating moments and then lift her up to put her in the car. It's a little breezy and as I am trying to keep the silky thin dress down... I fail and it flies up over her head bearing her bare bum to the poor bagger boy. The few seconds that it took me to get the dress back down felt like 5 minutes. The poor boy was so stunned that he couldn't move those few seconds. He then proceeded to race back to the store without a word. I was so embarrassed but couldn't stop laughing at the thought of that boys face. I've been laughing all day about it and thought you all might enjoy a laugh as well. I'm sure Braid will be appreciative of this story when she is in her teens.<br />

She started walking this past week, started saying a few more words and has a personality to match a one year old. To say that she is a goof-ball doesn't even begin to describe her or capture her entire personality. She is hilarious and she knows it.<br />

<ul>
<li>Her new thing is to make a frowny face at you and then smile or not depending on her mood. </li>
<li>She has become quite the little sneaky one. She has also encouraged Braid to get in on the fun... like putting half a toilet paper roll in the toilet or pressing the keys on my printer/fax. </li>
<li>She loves the phone and to press buttons on it. It is only an acceptable toy if it is the real thing and has the battery in it. </li>
<li>She loves to ham it up for pictures. </li>
<li>She likes to wrestle with her sister until one of them usually gets hurt (not always Kate). She can pull a chunk of hair faster and harder than imaginable. </li>
<li>She has become somewhat of a picky eater but still does pretty good. </li>
<li>We have allowed her to keep her pacifier and bottle so far. She probably wouldn't care if we took the bottle away but the pacifier is another story. We are giving her an extension until she is 15-16 months and then it will have to be taken away. This will not be a fun week or two for any of us. </li>
<li>She loves to play outside and do anything her sister is doing. </li>
<li>She no longer is considered sensitive and has really become quite the bully. She likes to hit anything and anyone. We are working on being gentle. Braid went through this phase as well. </li>
<li>But on the other side, she is a cuddle bug through and through. She loves to give kisses and hugs. They are the sweetest ever. I can't get enough of them. </li>
<li>She loves, loves to climb on things including step stools, chairs, couches, etc. </li>
</ul>

We threw her a little birthday party with a few friends. Funny how things change between your first and second. We got her a ball from Walmart for her birthday and made her a lollipop cake. She loved it and so did we.<br />

She also got a little cake at Bryn's wedding reception and everyone sang her happy birthday. It was really sweet. I don't have any pictures from the wedding but can't wait to see them.<br />
<br />
We love you baby girl and are so excited to see what this next year brings, although we wish we could freeze this time in our lives to just soak up your little personality. You have been a sweet addition to our little family and we wouldn't trade you for the world. Thanks for being you and filling our lives with love and joy.<br />

<h2>
Visiting Nana in Atlanta/Going to Nana's cabin to see Mammaw and Pawpaw! </h2>
<div>
Right after Thanksgiving, we got a special treat. We got to go visit Nana! We always have a wonderful time getting to see Nana and all the fun adventures of the big city but this year was extra special. We got to go up to Nana's cabin in the mountains a few hours north of Atlanta and meet up with Mammaw, Pawpaw, Robert and Angela. This was Kate's first time to get to meet them all. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather or better company. Braid and Kate loved them all. We went for hikes, saw turkeys and deer, and had great meals. </div>

We then headed back to Decatur for some fun adventures to the Aquarium, the Varsity, and the library. Both of the girls loved the Aquarium. We got to see a dolphin show, touch stingrays and see lots of amazing animals and fish. This is an amazing place to visit for all ages. I couldn't believe how much Kate enjoyed it all and Braid was the perfect age to really enjoy it all. I can see us visiting again when they are older as well. </div>

To conclude here are a few things about the girls.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<h2>
Braid...</h2>
<ul>
<li>Weighs 31 lbs and is 36 inches tall.</li>
<li>Loves to talk and makes everyday an adventure. She has quite the imagination.</li>
<li>Loves to play with her baby dolls, pink bear, and kitchen.</li>

<li>Sweet but very opinionated these days.</li>
<li>A night owl but becoming a better morning person most days.</li>
<li>Doesn't love breakfast and prefers to wait until 10 or so to eat anything at all. She does however ask for candy, fruit snacks and then asks for coffee when waking up every morning. Got to give it to her for not giving up after being denied these requests for the last 6 months.</li>
<li>Has a new dance called I can do it all my by myself after being able to put on her own panties. It makes me laugh every time. </li>
<li>Still loves everyone and everything with all her heart. I love this girl so much.</li>

<li>Loves to climb on chairs or cushions and is quite the dare devil when it comes to climbing.</li>
<li>Still a Momma's girl.</li>
<li>Refuses to take formula so she is now on whole milk. Loves cereal bars or any bread, grapes, yogurt, sweets but also eats her veggies and fruits.</li>
<li>Currently fighting taking naps in her bed.</li>
<li>A cuddle bug through and through. </li>
<li>So sweet with a hint of ornery. </li>
<li>A morning person; not a night owl.</li>
<li>Wakes up hungry and eats a big breakfast. </li>
<li>Loves to dance and gets super excited about it.</li>
<li>Has a huge heart and the sweetest personality ever.</li>
<li>Loves Braid and wants to do everything she does. They are the best of buds. I love when they hug each other which is every day but still gets me.</li>
<li>She makes my heart melt and I can't get enough of her.</li>
</ul>

We don't have a lot of trees to see the leaves change color, but we do get to go apple picking in beautiful orchards, the weather is divine, and the crops are getting harvested. The girls and I could spend all day outside in the Fall weather which is a good thing since we have recently acquired a new family member. This past week we decided to get a puppy; not just any puppy, a Great Dane puppy. You may be wondering what we were thinking and some days I am wondering the same thing. Sarge is his name and he is now 8 weeks old. Braid now has a new best friend and is in love (most of the time). Sarge is pretty big already and very strong. He is full of energy and fearless; this sometimes means that Braid may get knocked down to the ground. Most of the time she thinks it is funny and just wrestles with him on the ground unless she is feeling sensitive or tired at the time, then she can get a little angry at him. We can all get a little angry at Sarge at times but for the most part we are really enjoying him. Every day seems to get better. Kate does not like him that much but he is starting to grow on her. Thankfully he seems to be smart and catching on to what he is allowed to do and what he is not allowed to do around here. He can already go on a half mile walk with us and probably could go farther but I'm afraid to push it for fear that I will end up having to carry him.<br />

<br />
Kate recently had her 6 month check-up. She weighed in at 20 lbs 3 oz and was 28 inches long (both the 97%). She is in size 4 diapers and on the verge of moving to size 5. She wears 12-18 month clothes. I can't get a shoe on this girl because her feet are too chubby. Her hair is really starting to come in and get thick. She has the best personality. She is a complete goof ball and gives the best smiles. She is a complete cuddle bug. For the most part she is happy and content. She can cry tears at the drop of a hat but they are typically only seen if she gets hurt (very low pain tolerance, opposite of Braid), she gets scared, she's hungry or tired. She's my little morning person. I enjoy this because I am a morning person whereas Braid and Bo are not. Kate likes to go to bed early (me too). She loves to play with baby dolls and she has always been fascinated with the tags on anything. She can play with the tag on something forever. She has one little tooth on the bottom now and really enjoys getting to eat baby food, puffs, and a few samples of what we are eating every now and then if it does not require chewing. She is getting really close to crawling and really wants to be able to crawl. She gets up on hands and knees and rocks. She can go backwards but not forwards. She is a pro at the walker and can go wherever she pleases as long as it is on the hardwood floor. Braid loves for her to come to her bedroom door and then Braid will bring her toys or read her a book. Kate adores Braid and Braid adores Kate. They play really well together except when Kate pulls Braids hair which is done at every opportunity. Unfortunately, Kate has the worst allergies ever. She has been taking allergy medicine everyday for a while now but I am hoping with winter approaching this will not have to continue. I hate this for her especially considering where we live. I'm sure the next post will have a picture of our crawling little baby (not sure if I am ready for this). She is growing up way too fast.<br />

<h3>
<b>Braid</b></h3>
Braid is all little girl these days; no more baby chub (tear). I have been so proud of her. She is the best big sister and quite the little helper. Lately on her favorite to-do list is: playing baby dolls, reading books, playing with her puppy, riding the tractor with Daddy, going to the library and going for walks. She also enjoys any opportunity to go to town or go to a friends house. She loves to stay up late and watch "tt" (tv) with Daddy. She loves to watch Curious George, Sleeping Beauty or anything animated really. She calls anything animated "Braid's tt." She also loves to help cook or bake. She will sample anything and says "I probably like it." She does like most things. She still loves sweets and asks for candy for breakfast almost every morning (she knows the answer is no but refuses to give up). She would still prefer to wear no clothes if given the choice. Potty training is still a work in progress. I never dreamed it would take this long or be this hard. She does great if we are home and it is just us. If we go anywhere or someone comes over, it is an iffy situation. She tries to hold it as long as possible and refuses to go if she doesn't absolutely have to go (my Mom says that I deserve this).<br />

One more thing... I got a hair cut if you hadn't noticed already. I haven't cut my hair above my shoulders since I was two so this was major.<br />

She is the only one in the room so she yells, "The ring is phoning! The ring is phoning! Daddy get your phone!" She runs to get it and answers "hello" as it rings for the last time. She takes it to Bo and says "Awwww, the phone no ring anymore Daddy" It was just too cute. She talks really well now but every now and again she gets too excited and mixes her words. I love these moments. She has just been growing up too quickly. I feel like this last week or two she has really become a little girl. She has slimmed up and lost all of her baby chub. She has also become a huge help around the house, although she's had a few 2 year old moments of stubbornness and attitude. She bit Kate twice in one day; hopefully this is not a reoccurring event. They weren't horrible but it was still biting; poor Kate.<br />

Bo and I got to go out for the first time in a really long time. We had a wonderful time with our friends Mark and Kelsi at the Aaron Watson Concert here in Clovis. Aaron has also been a long time friend and he got to come over for the afternoon. Braid fell in love with Aaron and was almost in tears when he had to leave. Aaron went and drove the tractor with Bo for a while and I think they both had a great time. While Bo and I really enjoyed the concert and had a wonderful time, Kate was not too thrilled with it all. I put her to bed before we left and was hoping she wouldn't wake up while my mom came to watch the girls for us. Unfortunately for her, Kate decided to wake up 5 minutes after we left and cry for the next hour. Thankfully, my mom stuck it out and got her back to sleep. Thank You. We had a wonderful time.<br />
Kate got to have her first horse ride the other day. She wasn't as thrilled about it as you might think but she didn't hate it either. Braid also got to ride and loved it.<br />

I can't believe we are approaching the end of summer already, or I am at least hoping that cooler weather is in our near future. These last few weeks have been pretty hot around here. The girls and I have been doing a lot of lounging around to cool off. Get ready for a picture overload. I had a lot of catching up to do so I tried to be brief. </div>

These are the flower girl dresses that Paige and Reese wore in our wedding. They are passing them down to my girls. I can't wait for Braid and Kate to wear them. My Mom made them so they are extra special to me as well.<br />

I just thought this photo of Kate was precious and this is the face I get to see most of the day. She can now move the walker to the front and back. She is very proud of her accomplishment.<br />

Yes, Braid has hit the curious stage and would like to know the answer to these questions to gain knowledge about the world as well as asking them for her amusement. She thinks it is quite funny if it annoys me in the least bit to be asked the same question about the same thing after I have already answered her. As with most things relating to my children, I try to take a laid back approach and act as if it is not a big deal. I try to act like it doesn't annoy me and I find great joy in answering her questions; it doesn't always work and she has figured it out. Braid is incredibly smart and picks up on the smallest of details. She is an observer, whether it is learning a new song, a new sport, or a new trick. She never sings the song with you the first, second or third time. She just listens intently and watches your every move. Then she can repeat the song or whatever you are teaching her. It's definitely not always perfect but she does really well in my opinion. Braid has also been into shortening names lately. She calls her friend Corbin, "Corbie" and Cason, "Case". I have recently been shortened to Mom. For some reason, I really don't like this and would prefer to be called Momma. We are working on it. Then she also decided to shorten Maymee to Maym and Poppa to Pop. I hope this is a phase.<br />
<br />
As much as Braid loves to test me and push my buttons, she is also the funniest and sweetest thing. I really laugh at her or with her throughout the day. Her hugs and kisses are the best and make you feel so loved. I'm going to try to get some video of her singing Fuzzy Caterpillar. It is the cutest song that Aunt Jessica taught her. I don't know if she will do it for the video camera, but I will really try. It will melt your heart.The Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05289139461263479880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8907024467665107221.post-21853249186945363922012-07-08T07:07:00.002-07:002012-07-08T07:07:47.837-07:00A little bit of everythingAlthough it has only been a couple of weeks since I last posted a blog, it seems that I have a huge list of things to write about that have happened to us over the past few weeks. So here is an abbreviated overview of the many things.<br />
First of all, Braid got sick at the beginning of last week. She ran up to 104.3 temperature which sent me into a panic. We got it down with a cool bath and some tylenol and went to the doctor Monday morning (side note: why do we always seem to get sick on the weekend when the doctor's office is not open?). She had a virus that can last 3-5 days with a high temp. and she had a very soar throat. The doctor also said to keep Braid and Kate completely away from each other. A little too late and not really a possibility. So as Braid was getting well on Wednesday, Kate started running a temp of 100.4 so we took her to the doctor as well. She got up to 102.3 which also sent me into a panic. I kept a cool rag on her head and tried to get her to eat often. Kate doesn't quite have the pain tolerance that Braid has so the fussiness was a little more dramatic. Needless to say by Friday morning I was exhausted after getting little sleep through the week because I was up taking their temp every two hours and rocking babies during the day. However, Kate's temp had broke in the middle of Thursday night so Friday morning we packed and headed to Taos, NM for a wedding we had been planning to go to for months. I know what you are thinking; we are crazy. I would have to agree a little with you and I really agreed Friday night. The girls did great on the drive there but Kate was exhausted and still not feeling 100% so she cried more than her entire life put together that afternoon into the evening. I didn't know if her ears were infected or my sweet little angel was no longer my laid back easy going little girl, but I finally got her to sleep and she was wonderful the next day. We had a wonderful trip and were glad that we went.<br />

We had a cherry tree right outside our condo. Braid loved it.<br />
<br />
<br />
We have started potty training with Braid again. So far it is going very well and I have been very proud of her. She can be very, very stubborn about things so convincing her to do something can sometimes be difficult. Once she sets her mind to do something she is going to do it. She is positive about the training right now so we are off to a better start than last time.<br />
<br />
I have to brag about Braid a little. She is extremely athletic and picks things up quickly. She observes for a while and then can perform the task quite well. She got a tee-ball set for her birthday and has been practicing. She now doesn't have to use the tee-ball stand and can hit a pitch from her Daddy with the bat. Pretty impressive for a 2 year old. She can hit the ball as far as 20 feet. She gets her athletic ability from her Daddy. He is so proud.<br />
<br />
Then on a cute note, Braid received some flowers from her Daddy the other day. When I asked her what the card said, she replied with "Trust in the Lord with all your heart." (a memory verse she recently learned from a picture frame) My heart melted.<br />

Braid has been into dressing herself. This was her outfit choice on the first day of potty training. I thought Bryn would be so proud.<br />

Kate turned 4 months old. She added a couple of rolls as a celebration. She has been giggling and is quite content most days. She smiles all of the time but you have to be pretty special to get her to giggle. She doesn't giggle for just anyone or at anything. It has to be really funny to her which can be difficult to figure out what is funny to a 4 month old. Kate just loves life. She is happy and content. I just love her smile and sweet nature. She is in no hurry to sit up, roll over or do anything physically exhausting. She does however stand with help and couldn't be prouder of herself. So cute. She also has found her thumb and is thrilled with this new find. She has always sucked on her hand, fingers or blanket but the thumb has been her best accomplishment in her book. She is also a slobber box. The front of her shirt is constantly wet but I will take it. She never, ever spits up. I really think she has only spit up maybe 3 times over her entire life. She doesn't believe in wasting one drop of food as one can see. We are about to try some rice cereal. I'll be sure to take some pictures of the upcoming event.<br />

Braid pushing Kate in her baby stroller. Kate wasn't so sure about it at first but then enjoyed the ride. I was right there the entire time in case some of you were getting a little worried. :)<br />

Swimming for the first time this summer in a big pool. Kate's first time to swim ever. She actually liked it much to our surprise. She doesn't like cold or even cool water so it really was a surprise.<br />

<b><i>Happy Birthday Braid!</i></b></h2>
Here on the farm we have had an exciting and fun-filled week. My sweet baby girl Braid turned 2 this Tuesday, June 5th. We celebrated the actual event on Saturday at my parent's house. I was thrilled to have all of the family that lives around here join us and a couple of special guests. Garett, Jessica, Bryn and Mike all joined us for the event as well as Bruce and Roxanne (who by the way we have missed terribly since they moved to Tennessee). We were also joined by some of our friends. The evening was filled with good food, cake and cookies, and no electricity. We did get to finish the meal and blow out the birthday cake candle before the electricity went out. No electricity was not going to ruin our night. We proceeded to eat cake, open presents and then head outside to play some tee-ball. We all had a blast. Braid was smiling all night and having the time of her life, except when a picture is being taken (recently refuses to smile for pictures). I can't believe my baby girl is already two! Wow, how the time flies by.<br />

<br />
For Braid's birthday, we were getting her a little play kitchen so I decided to make her a kitchen sink as her birthday cake. I am not the best at making a cake look pretty but this one did turn out cute if I may say so myself. I made it the day before and Braid loved running to look at it and tell everyone that was her birthday cake. I think that she really enjoyed and understood the concept of her birthday this year which made everything more fun.<br />
<br />
Here are just a few things that we love about our Braid...<br />
1. She loves everything and everyone with her whole heart.<br />
2. She is seriously the best big sister in the world. Kate absolutely adores her.<br />
3. She loves to be outside and is a country girl to the core.<br />
4. She is hilarious and makes me laugh everyday.<br />
5. She loves to cuddle and gives great kisses and hugs.<br />
6. She is stubborn, stubborn and stubborn. I don't know who she gets this from ;).<br />
7. She likes just about anything when it comes to food and especially sweets.<br />
8. I think she talks quite well but some may say she takes after her mother when it comes to pronunciation. I have to say I love this too.<br />
9. I love her sweet curls.<br />
10. I love her imagination. She can tell a story and come up with the best games.<br />
11. She loves to be scared but then says she needs a hug. It is the cutest thing ever.<br />
<br />
I was only going to do ten but I just couldn't stop. Happy Birthday Sweet Girl. We love you.<br />
<br />

<i>Happy 3 Months Kate!</i></h2>
<div>
Kate also turned three months old on Saturday. I can't believe she is already three months. She is still as sweet as can be and just makes my heart melt. Her baby rolls and chubby cheeks are beyond cute and I can't stop kissing her. She just smiles and smiles with every kiss. I love her so much. She did give us a little scare this past week. Our pediatrician suggested that we take her to a dermatologist to have her birth marks looked at to make sure everything looked okay. I wasn't too concerned but thought it was a good idea. When I took her they said that since she had more than 5 of the strawberry hemangiomas that she had a higher chance of having them on her organs as well. This freaked me out and I began to get very concerned. They then wanted to send us over to have an ultrasound done on her liver to see if they saw anything. They had told me that they would only be looking at the liver unless they saw something and then they would need to look at the other organs. When doing the ultrasound, the technician couldn't tell me anything but I could see that she looked at the kidneys as well. We didn't get to find out the results until the next day and being the worrier that I am, I assumed the worst. With great relief and thankfulness, they didn't see anything. She does have to go back in two weeks to make sure they are not growing too fast and for them to just look at them again. Hopefully, everything should be just fine and they will go away on their own but we will be keeping a close eye on them. </div>

Since having my first daughter, Braid, that seems to be a common theme. However, it is getting more and more difficult to keep up with my journal and I would like to be able to add pictures. We also have a lot of family that lives far away and I want them to be able to see the girls growing up.<br />
<br />
Farming season is in full motion. This past week we have received some much needed rain and we are so very thankful. Braid is especially thankful because she loves the mud and loves the fun creatures that seem to come around after the rain. The frogs are singing and Bo found her a turtle in the yard. We also had a visit from a small garden snake on our back porch which Braid found fascinating. She said that she loves the snake. I don't know why she is so intrigued by snakes and such but she is and she apparently loves them. Braid loves many things including every person that she has ever met. I love this quality about her. She loves with all her heart and can make anyone feel as if they are the most important person in the world. She has never met a stranger and will talk to anyone that comes across her path. We get to say hello, hi or hey to every person we pass at the grocery store. It is amazing to see the impact a little girl's smile can have on a person. I love her sweet personality and her outlook on life.<br />
<br />
This spring we were blessed with a second little girl, Kate. She is now 2 1/2 months old and we see more and more of her sweet personality everyday. My girls could not be any more opposite but I love it. They are each wonderful in their own special ways. First of all, you will notice that Kate is much darker complected than Braid. Kate also has dark brown hair and Braid is blonde.<br />

<br />
Then as mentioned above, Braid has never met a stranger and Kate is still a little unsure about just who is and is not a stranger to her. She primarily prefers her Momma but has gotten a little better this past week. Kate loves Braid. Braid got her to smile for the first time. When Kate smiles, the whole room lights up. She is so, so sweet and very cuddly. She's a very happy baby for the most part and just takes a little longer to warm up to a new person.<br />
<br />
Braid is 100% farm girl. She loves to be outside and loves loves to go with her Daddy. She will ride the tractor for hours with him and be a perfect angel. She prefers to be dirty and when I say dirty, I mean dirty. She likes her hair to be free and wild, her clothes to be comfy and her hands and feet to be covered in dirt. She doesn't care if it is cold or windy, she still prefers to be outside. She loves playing with water and dirt. The only thing she doesn't like but can't help being a little curious of is bugs.<br />

<br />
<br />
Kate is starting to like being outdoors a little more. First of all, she hates to be cold so she was lucky to have an extremely warm spring. She doesn't like the wind and isn't sure about the rest just yet. She has found a new appreciation for the leaves blowing in the breeze and seems to enjoy them quite a lot. She loves for you to talk to her and will give you a huge smile. She coos and talks to us a lot.<br />
