Crazy days

PICS WONT UPLOAD WILL POST THEM LATER!!


Things have been crazy around here. Kameryn got super sick a few days ago and was hospitalized. She was vomitting non stop for a full 24 hours so we decided to take her into Childrens Mercy urgent care. Before we left home we checked all her signs and didn't think that she was dehydrated. I had been giving her 1tbs of fluids every 15 mins but that just caused her to get sick. On the way to the hospital she got sick several times and then really quiet. When I got there I went to get her out of the car she was not responding to me. So I carried her into the hospital. They got her on fluids and ran some test. They found out she was extremely dehydrated and transferred her downtown by ambulance so we could be admitted. We stayed at the hospital for 2 nights and then was able to go home on Wednesday. Once she got fluids in her she was fine. So glad to have her back to normal. That was very scary and made me feel like there was nothing I could of done here to help her which is really hard to think about. Anyways on a positive note, it is so nice to be home. Kameryn and I missed the babies and daddy!



Madalynn and Makenzie are now 11 months. They are getting so big! They are close to walking, which is exciting because I figured that they would walk later. Just because they had acid reflux so bad that they didn't get very much tummy time. But they seem to be on track. They are both talking like crazy. I have been super busy planning their big 1st birthday party. It is a lot harder with 2 when you are trying to make it extra special for each of them.



Kameryn has been doing good other than being sick. Preschool is going great! Daddy was able to go on a fieldtrip with her which she loved. She is making a lot of new friends. I hear new names everyday. She is also loving staying longer 1 day a week. It is super exciting to eat lunch at school.



Richard and I have been super busy... The girls keep us on our toes and I can't imagine what life is going to be like when they are all involved in extra curricular activities. Soccer is officially over and they have their end of the season party on Sunday. I think Kameryn will play in the spring. We are leaving that totally up to her. She mentioned t-ball but she can't do that until she is 5. Richard did a great job coaching too. It truely showed how much patiences he has.



Anyways lots of fun things coming up, Halloween, 1st birthdays, etc... be sure to check back for updates.

Kameryn at the zoo

First... We went to Omaha over the labor day weekend. Girls had a lot of fun. Kameryn got a little tired toward the end of the zoo trip but she was such a trooper. They loved staying in the hotel. Although Madalynn and Makenzie had a hard time sleeping in the pack and plays. Kameryn loved swimming in the pool everyday and going shopping. We were glad to get home though. Its nice to go on vacation but with babies it is had.

Second... Kameryn had her first day of preschool! She had tons of fun! Although when she got home from school she couldn't remember what she did. Thank goodness for tons of things in her bag at the end of the week so mommy can know whats going on. They are working on a lot of the same stuff as last year so she is a little bored. Mommy and her are working on sight words. She loves being able to "read" It also gives her something new to do. We are also working on writing her last name...

Kameryn also started choir at church. She had a great time. They meet once a week and then perform once a month at church. She loves it and there are tons of kids in it.

Richard and I have been staying busy. I think tonight is the first night at home in a long time and we are going to enjoy it! I can not imagine how busy life is going to be when Kameryn, Madalynn and Makenzie are all doing things at night!

Madalynn and Makenzie are both pulling up. Madalynn does a little crusing and Makenzie no longer army crawls. They are really on track to walk early like big sister and I can't wait. I don't think my back can take carrying both of them very much longer. They are both also talking like crazy. They have a little game where they both scream at each other. Really funny for them but not for me. First time they did it was during naptime and I freak and ran in there. Needless to say there was just to silly babies laughing at me. They have become such great friends lately. Hugging, kissing and playing together. It really is a great feeling seeing my children interact. Their big first birthday is coming soon and I can't believe it!

Soccer!!

Kicking the ball in.

Going for the ball (in orange )

Yes! We are just that much fun!

Out by one of her coaches... not daddy

Ready for soccer practice.

And here is her water bottle

This is our mean looking soccer pose

Kameryn had her first 2 practices and her first game!! She has been so excited but is a little timid towards the ball. She loves running around with the kids though! We really just want her to get a little more aggressive and learn how to work as a team. And of course to have FUN!! Richard had fun coaching her! I didn't get many photos because I left my camera in the car first half and then my camera was messing up but I will get some next game.

M&M are doing great. Pulling up on things, getting into things... The typical fun things babies do at this age! We got the whole living room gated off so they can't get into too much trouble. Kameryn always tells me when I forget to shut it and I get a little friend following me.

On a side note... Kameryn said she was done being a drama queen and we can take the sign out of her room. Good to know..

Makenzie Benzie is 9 Months!!!

DD is too :)

Awww so cute! I love these babies :)

All my girls. Sorry Kam I cut you off a little. For some reason they were not wanting to get closer.

Maddie and Kenzie are 9 months old. Time has flown by. Yesterday they had their appointment. They were not excited at all about the shots. It is very hard for a mom of twins to take her babies to get shots because you want to comfort them forever but the next baby has to get hers. Anyways they are doing great. Growing, growing growing... Makenzie is 19lbs 5 ozs and 27 inches long. Maddie is 18 lbs 1 oz and 28 inches long. Both of them can now say Mama and Dada. So exciting. I am starting to think Maddie knows what it means too. Today someone was holding her and she stuck her arms out to me and said mama. So cute :) At the end of their appt yesterday the doctor said... see you at 12 months. Wow is 12 months really coming up. This does not seem possible.

Kameryn is doing good. Had a blast at the spray park. Had a blast at soccer practice yesterday. She did really good too! I am so proud! Can't wait to see her games. At this age they are so cute playing. I kept laughing at how some of the kids would kick the ball and then look back at their parents to see if they were watching. Kameryn ran over for a water break and her face was bright red. Looks like she gets that from Mommy! :)

Fun, Fun

The girls :)

Princess Makenzie :) Kameryn put the crown on her head she was not too happy.

This weekend has went by way too fast...

Kameryn is super excited about soccer which practice starts on Thursday!! She has everything ready to go and even picked out #3 as her number for her uniform. She is also excited for preschool but that doesn't start until Sept. We are anxiously awaiting to find out who her teacher is going to be. This weekend we went out and got all her school supplies. She was super excited about that. Of course she wanted a new backpack but the High School Musical one she had from last year looked brand new. I told her she could get a new one next year for Kindergarten.

They had fun tonight at Richards softball game. Madalynn and Makenzie love being the center of the attention when we are out in public. They both however have been biting like crazy. Luckily it has only been me and Richard. On Saturday Madalynn got my lip really good. Thats what I get for thinking she was wanting a kiss :)

This weekend we went and had pictures taken with my whole family. The kids really enjoyed it. We did too! It was nice seeing everyone. Crazy how big my family has gotten! I will post some pics when we get them! We also had family pics done of just us. My mom took them and I know they are going to be awesome. I will post them too soon. Kameryn was such a model for my mom :) Madalynn and Makenzie made her work for even the slightest happy face.

August is here!!!

Makenzie MAC!!!

Isn't this what yours supposed to do to get your toys (climb over your sister?)

OMG is that Hannah Montana?

I can not believe it is August already. This summer has just flown by. Soon Kameryn will be back at preschool. She doesn't officially start until early September. This year she is a Bigger Angel (that is what her school calls her age). She is so excited that she gets to go to class in the lower part of the preschool. Funny the things that amuze them. We are going shopping this weekend for school clothes and supplies. Kameryn is super excited and so am I! I love back to school time but hate her being gone an extra day. I can't even image how hard its going to be when she goes to kindergarten next year.

This year Kameryn is also starting soccer. She has been out practicing with Richard all the time. This is a big thing for Kameryn because up until now anything that involved running was out. She is such a girl! Atleast at soccer she will not have a dress on that she can twirl in :)

Madalynn and Makenzie are doing awesome. Getting more teeth by day and changing by the minute. Makenzie was laying down the other day and was pulling a blanket over her head and quickly pulling it down to play peek a boo. First time she has ever done that. It was sooo cute! It is so much fun when they learn to do things. She also is clapping all the time now. As of yesterday they both have gone from their bellys to their bottoms. They are also both trying to pull up and stand. I don't see walking too far in the distance.

Madalynn was doing the cutest thing last night. We went to the night at against crime here (great thing for the kids by the way) and we tied Kameryns ballon onto the stroller well it kept blowing towards her and she was giggling so loud. She kept pulling it closer to her and she thought it was hilarious. This must have gone on for 30 mins. I am glad she can entertain herself. Madalynn is really liking being down to play. Now that they can crawl, they want to go go go.

Richard is doing good. I know he is ready for work to slow down a bit. He has been extremely busy. He is playing softball for our church. I know he has been enjoying that. I think he is using muscles though that haven't been used in a while. This week he was really sore afterwards. I guess that is just the old age talking. :) He is also going to coach Kameryn in soccer. He is extremely excited about that. He is great with kids so I know he will do well.

I have been doing good too. Keeping busy but that is always good. Finished all my twilight books and trying not to listen in when others say some book was good. I got so wrapped up in twilight that I am sure Richard thought I was non-existant during the time I was reading it. Sunday school for summer is coming to an end soon. It has been tough this summer because Richard has been getting Madalynn and Makenzie ready because I left before they finished their bottles. I know that has been hard on Richard because mornings are not his friends. I don't think I will sign on for the fall but will when the girls get a little older. I have really enjoyed it this year!

Anyways that is all for now. Will update soon!

Kameryn on her birthday!

Maddie and Kenzie 8 months old!

The girls have kept me super busy!! Madalynn and Makenzie are now 8 months old. Sitting up and army crawling. Teeth Count.. Makenzie has 6 and Maddie has 3. The girls are so close to crawling... I was down about them not crawling when Kameryn did but the doctor reminded me that with them both having Acid Reflux I was not able to put them down for tummy time near as much as I did with Kam. Makes me feel a little better but also gives me desire to work harder on it with them. Both girls are talking up a storm.... Makenzie now says Baba when she wants to eat. Very cute! Both of the girls are also pulling themselves up to stand. I don't think walking is going to be too far away.

Kameryn just turned 4. She is growing like crazy too. She had a great birthday and birthday party. This year was her first with inviting friends and she loved it! One sad thing is we got her a huge doll house for her bday and it was missing 3 bolts. Richard went and checked hardware stores and even the store purchased and we have to wait for the company to ship it to us. I feel bad that she has to wait so long for a bday present but it will be worth it. She is getting ready to start her last year of preschool in September. Makes me sad to think she is going to be in Kindergarten soon.

Richard and I are doing good. Keeping busy. Richard is going to be coaching Kam in soccer this fall and they are both really excited. We are both hoping that the housing market comes around really soon so we can move into a bigger house. We would love to have a 4 bedroom but right now if we sold our house we would take a huge loss since we have only lived here 2.5 years.

Anyways I will do better to keep this up and updated pictures!!!
