Let it sleet, let it sleet, let it sleet............

Yes let it sleet. On Friday morning about 9am things in OKC changed. It got bitterly cold (it is 16 right now,Monday morning) and it started sleeting. The one good thing it was supose to be freezing rain, which would have more than likely pulled down all of our power lines. Sleet doesn't stick to trees and power lines like the freezing rain would have. It sleeted most of the day. My office closed down so I left about 10:30 to go and get the kids from daycare. The drive that usually takes me about 20 minutes took me an hour. So I got home about 12:30. We pretty much stayed inside all weekend. This morning we got up and headed out the door. The roads aren't cleared it doesn't even look like there is any salt, or sand on the roads. The kids are with Gamma and Grandad today. There is no school and I didn't have daycare so they are haing a good time over there. I took some pictures of the sleet……Coming up….Jay's birthday is Thurs, Melissa and Frank are coming on Thurs (yeah). We finally get to meet Frank (whom everyone else has already met). Grandma and Grandad are coming from Little Rock to meet Frank. I'll let you know if he passes the sister test next week. He has passed everyone elses test so far….put the sister test is a little different. =)

Bath time

A cup is her favorite toy

Fun with bath time

One of my favorite times


Is in the evening. After the babies have been fed and bathed. They are soooo snuggly in the warm winter PJ's. Breanna is at the age that she is being really loving and sweet and loves to snuggle up to people. We all climbed up onto the couch last night to watch the Good Night show on our favorite kids channel. There is nothing better. Here are some pictures from last night.

What a day..

Well my day started out ok. I got the kids up and ready and got out the door and when I got to the van I pushed the button to open the door and the door wouldn't open. I walked around to the other side and got in the other door, and the lights on the inside didn't come on. So I though well maybe it is a fuse that isn't working. I got the kids to daycare and got to work and called my dad to see if that is what he thought that it was. Jay had to go to Woodward (about 2.5 hours away) for work yesterday so I was going to hav to fix what ever was wrong by myself. So my dad says that he has a little box of extra fuses and do I want him to come and see if it is a fuse and if he has one that would fix it. So he got to my office and we were out in the parking lot looking at all of the fuses, and all of the ones that he pulled out and looked at looked good. So he took the keys and got into the drivers seat and started the car. He tried to turn the doam lights on, and they didn't come on. Then my dad looks up and on the control panel on the roof of the van there are 4 buttons. He pushes one of them and the doam lights come on he pushes the one next to it and the van door opens. Now I looked at the buttons and one has a picture of a light bulb with an X though it the other has a picture of a van door with an X through it.

My mom said that the lesson learned is that kids suck your brains out. You slowly lose your mind when you have kids. I think she is right. =)


We have had a lot of talk about JJ lately, so to day it will be Breanna's turn. She is getting to be such a little person. If you ask her she can identify the following body parts, nose, eyes, mouth, hair, ear, arm, hand, leg, food, and her belly button. She talks all the time, and NEVER sits still. She has become a loving little baby too. She loves to walk up to you and give you kisses. She walks up to JJ and puts her head in his lap to love on him and then she will give him kisses. She loves to snuggle first thing in the morning (before she is fully awake, because once she is she is off and moving). She is also a very everything in it's place perons. If you have a cup out, even if you are drinking something out of it at that moment, as soon as you put it down she is grabbing it and taking it to the sink to put it in there. When I first put her toys into her new room she would carry them back across the house and put them in her old room. She loves going to daycare, although sometime she wants me to stay there with her. She loves playing with her friends. There is one little boy Noah whom she adores. She also just loves her Sara, we are soooo lucky to have her to watch our kids, she does such a good job.

Well we have booked our vacation YEAH!!!!! Last May I won a trip to Cozumel. Well they give you a certain amount to spend on a hotel and a certain amount to spend on airfare towards a trip. We are going to go to April 15th and we are coming back on April 19th. We will spend Sunday through Thurs.
We are going to have a few days of adult time (that was mostly free)!! YEAH!! Here is the website of the hotel that we are going to stay in. I choose an all inclusive resort, it will save us a TON of money on Jay's eating and drinking. I did make sure that the drinks that were included were not just the domestic drinks, but also included premium alcohol. It will be the first time in about 2 years that I will really be able to have more that one drink at a time. We will have a great time!! I am starting to get excited!! YEAH!!

Some pictures of the kids….JJ getting a bath, he isn't quite sure about them yet. He has quit screaming the entire time he is in the bath though so that is progress. Breanna is dancing on the bed with mommy after her bath. She thinks it is sooooo much fun to dance.

Pyloric Stenosis………….

Yep that is what it is called the thing that has been running our lives for the last few weeks….what is it you ask……Well it is the muscle at the bottom of your stomach that allows food to transfer from your stomach to your intestines. Little JJ’s decided that it was going to grow a little too big and not allow food to enter his intestines. This caused him to forcefully vomit everytime he ate.

We had been to the doctors office several times, to check for reflux, he got put on medicine for reflux, and a week after he had started the medicine I called back the doctor and said we needed to do something because his vomiting hadn’t gotten better, in fact it had gotten worse even with the medicine. We went in and my little baby had actually gone from 9lbs 7ozs the week before to 8lbs, 12ozs. The doctor scheduled an ultrasound and we had it done and found that he indeed had pyloric stenosis. So we were off to childrens hospital to have his operated on. We got there Thurs night and he had dropped to under 8lbs, and has quit peeing. The got an IV in him and started fluids. The next morning at 9am they did surgery to cut and fix that muscle. We left the hospital Sat afternoon about 4pm.

Here are a before and after picture of JJ. He is a happy, smiling talkative baby now. This morning he was up to 9lbs, 8ozs.

Well it has been awhile since I have written anything. Being home and hainvg the two kids there doesn't lend too much time to bloging. It is Christmas Eve and we are at my parents house. My grandparents have come in from Little Rock to spend Christmas with us. We are all excited to see them and get to spend some time with them. We went and had some Christmas pictures taken. I'll post them as well. There is only one more week until I go back to work. I think it will actually be more of break then being at home will have been. Having to have a little baby and to chase after Breanna all day is a TON of work. I have tonld my babysitter (who has VERY graciously watched Breanna one day a week for me while I have been of, for free mind you.) I don't know where she gets the energy and sanity to watch all of the kids all day long especially since her little one is only a month older than JJ. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. I am going to post more of the pictures from JJ first days too, I haven't posted many of them yet last time my computer froze and I haven't gotten back to it yet!! Love ya'll!!

Jay and little Jay

Grandad and JJ

Gamma and JJ

Just after being born still in the operaing room
Breanna didn't quite understand what was going on and she was WAY tired!! Well there you go the pictures from Christmas and the ones from JJ being born. Hope you liked them. I'll get some Christmas day pics up soon, and I promise I'll blog more often!!

So the first weeks have gone by pretty quickly. We have been hanging out at home mostly. We had Melissa and my Grandparents here for Thanksgiving. Breanna loves getting to hang out with her younger brother. She loves to hold him and hang out with him. So I promised to post some pictures so here they are......

Jay in his scrubs before we go in to the surgery room.
