Good reason to update my blog!!!

I went to the Dr's office this morning and found out my c-section is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept 21st at 7:30am. It's nice to know that there is an official end date to the pregnancy. I feel pretty good, I am just really tired! I asked Dr. Sarver if I was anemic and per my blood tests from last month I am not.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALYN!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALYN!!!!!

I can't believe my baby is already 3 years old!!!!

Natalyn, you are a very smart and sweet little girl!! Mama and Daddy love you more and more everyday!!!

Last week was a really bad week for me personally. I was really sick, but thankfully felt better on Thursday so we were still able to have Natalyn's little kiddo party at the house. I did have to cancel her family party for the weekend though. We will just have to have another party later on this spring!!!
Natalyn's birthday party theme was "Candyland!" Natalyn had all different kinds of candy to share with her buddies!!
(Below: Natalyn, Mia, Caroline, Kash, Avery and Korbyn)

Natalyn and Korbyn look like future "valley-girls!!"

Natalyn unwrapping presents, all of her friends helped aswell!!

Here the kiddos are doing an art project. They are decorating King Kandy's Castle.

Mason, Avery, Korbyn, Mia (w/mommy Katie), Kash and Natalyn.

Don't forget to see the video of Natalyn blowing out her birthday candles!!!!!

SUPRISE!!!

Well, most of you already know, but I wanted to make sure I blog about our very special morning. I took a pregnancy test at 6:30am this morning and it was positive!!! Like, I think I am 4-5 weeks along, but may be a bit more as the test turned positive in a millisecond!!! I am on hormones again (just like my pregnancy with Nat-Nat) and right now I feel fine!! We are super excited and looks like my due date is around Sept 18th-ish and I will have another C-section.

When Natalyn woke up I asked her if she would like a baby brother or baby sister and she responded with a polite "no thank you." After breakfast, I told her that mama has a baby in her tummy, she looked at me really serious and said " I have cereal in my tummy."
So....once again the 2 (almost 3 yr old) has the last word.-NICE!

MORE SNOW DAY FUN!!

SNOW DAY!!!

When we got up yesterday morning, we were surprised to find several inches of snow on the ground! Natalyn really wanted to go outside and play in the snow so of course that is what we did!!! Below is Natalyn making a snow angel!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!

2010 is finally here!!

I thought briefly about making a few New Year's resolutions, but then decided it was better not to. I know that if I vow to not go to Sonic for a Dr Pepper as of 01-01-10, I will make it about half a day! That also goes for eating chocolate!! Sooooo let's just move on from that subject!!!

We had a real exciting time around the Sill house on New Year's eve. Let's start with the fact that I had a dentist appt at noon (bad timing I admit, but wanted to get it on 09's insurance!) and had 3 cavities filled. We (and I mean "we" as in Natalyn and myself) stayed up to 11-ish and watched the events on TV at Times Square , Scott took a nap on the couch. We all then went to bed, I woke up around midnight and Scott was watching a movie because he couldn't sleep from taking such a late nap. Bottom line: we did not get up on New Year's Day until around 10 am and then went shopping!! YIPEE!!

Here is Natalyn posing with her buddy Pooh while sporting her Lightning McQueen slippers. Natalyn playing with more of her cars. She likes to put her cars in the Jeep and drive them around!

I added this picture in because it is just soooo cute!!!

NEW CAMERA!

OK. I know I just posted an entire month of events in the last few hours. I have no choice but to blame my husband for not showing me how to download the pictures off my new camera. ( I know I could have read the manual myself, but that's not the point!) Anywho- tomorrow is a new day, I will get January 2010 updated and in full swing!!! (not sure if I want to commit to that as a New Year's Resolution though- I kinda feel that I would be setting myself up for failure-hahaha!!)

I do LOVE my new camera and it has a feature to video on it as well, which I used for the first time today and will post tomorrow (ok, no later than February!)

MORE CHRISTMAS

MORE CHRISTMAS FUN!!

On December 27th, we headed to Miami for Christmas' with the Nixon and Lafalier side. We started off at noon at Pappoo's house. Here is K-K and Natalyn decorating Christmas cookies. This occupied Natalyn for about 10 seconds, she was too excited to sit still!!! Natalyn and Pappoo!!
Looks like someone is ready for a nap!

Then we went to Papa and Nan-naw LaFalier's! Natalyn thought she would rest a little bit.

Natalyn regained her energy and decided to pick on Uncle John G.

Natalyn and Papa Monty sharing a joke!

Natalyn got this really cute guitar. She loves to play it around the house. Her favorite gift is her My Pretty Pony set.

CHRISTMAS DAY 2009

CHRISTMAS DAY 2009!!

We ended up having to wake Natalyn up at 9am on Christmas Day!! Santa brought Natalyn several things, I am not sure she was that good this year! Here are Natalyn's gifts from Santa!

We were supposed to have several family members over on Christmas Day, but due to the snow Scott's parents were the only ones that were able to make it.

This just somes up Natalyn's interests:

Tinkerbell outfit w/Lightning MacQueen slippers!!

Papa and Grandma Sill brought this soccer chair for Nat-Nat.

CHRISTMAS EVE 2009

CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

Natalyn and I started the day with making a birthday cake for Jesus. Natalyn really likes to cook and make special treats! Later in the evening, we put icing on the cake. Natalyn lasted on the job for about 10 seconds because once she noticed all the yummy icing on the spatula she decided to treat herself to it. Bottom line: I finished icing the cake!
DELICIOUS!!

Here is Natalyn before we left to go to the Candle Light Service at our church. Don't you just love her red boots!! I DO!!!!

Natalyn dancing on the stage at church after the service. (the icing has kicked in!hahah)

Natalyn is getting ready to head to bed, she has left a cookie and some milk for Santa and carrots for the the reindeer.

A few days before Christmas, Natalyn watched a show on TV called "Prep & Landing", it is about two elf's whose job is to prep houses for Santa's entry. Natalyn asked me how Santa gets into our house, I told her that Santa comes through our fireplace, she looked at the fireplace, her eyes doubled in size and the color drained from her face. I immediately figured out that this freaked her out completely, so I tried to back track and tell her that Santa will probably just magically make the presents appear in our living room and never come in our house. She looked at me for awhile, I don't think she bought it!!

Throughout the month of December I have been trying to explain to Natalyn the true meaning of Christmas and that Jesus was born on Christmas day. On Christmas Eve when I went to put Natalyn in her bed we were talking about this again. Natalyn asked where Jesus is? I told her He is in Heaven. She then asked when Jesus was going to come to our house? I tried to explain that he is always here in spirit. Natalyn's eyes bug out again and she says, like a ghost?! GEEZ!! Should I have to have these deep theological discussions with a 2 yr old?!

MAIL FOR SANTA/EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT

We headed to the post office for Natalyn to mail her Christmas wish list to Santa. Yes, Natalyn has a balloon on her wrist, we had just came from Arvest at Wal-mart and she always has to get a purple balloon! On Natalyn's list she asked for 2 green swings(we had already let her know that a purple swing doesn't exist) and a new Mator.

Our good friend Susan called in the afternoon and asked if she could drop off Natalyn's Christmas present. When she came by, Natalyn was asleep, so I woke her up. That is why she looks so happy!

Aren't these just so cute!! Natalyn and I will get a lot of use out of these!!

MAKING TREATS/BOWLING WITH COUSINS

Natalyn and I spent one morning making special treats. Natalyn is a really good quality control inspector. She kept licking the spoons and I would have to go get a clean one. We went through ALOT of spoons. We covered everything we could find in the house with chocolate!

YUMO!

In the afternoon, we met up with cousins Kenzie Kay and Keeley. I took the girls bowling while we waited for Scott to get off work.

Natalyn actually won (with the help of the ball guide and bumpers!)

After we went bowling we met up with Scott and ate at Abuelo's (which I LOVE!). Then we went back to our house for the girls to exchange Christmas gifts. They had alot of fun!

CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH MIA

Natalyn had a play date/Christmas Party with her good friend Mia. Here are the cupcakes that Natalyn made just for the event!Natalyn and Mia being silly!
Natalyn was most impressed with the ring pops I gave her and Mia!

Mia gave this extra special gift to Natalyn!

Before Natalyn took her nap, we put the gingerbread house together. We had a lot of fun and I will definitely make this a tradition to do with Natalyn for years to come!

Natalyn carefully licked every piece of candy before applying them to the house!

SWING SET FUN!!!

SWING SET FUN!!!

And when I say "FUN" I mean fun for Scott!! As you can see Natalyn got a swing set (Natalyn refers to it as a park) for Christmas. Scott put it together a few weekends before Christmas, and the weather cooperated for the most part. It only took Scott a couple of days to put it together! Natalyn testing out the deck!
I think she likes it, don't you?!

The finished product!!

JUST PICTURES OF NAT-NAT

Here are just some various pictures of Natalyn over the month of December.

I got Natalyn to stand still for a second to snap this cute picture! She looks just like a little angel!! Here is Natalyn painting with her buddies at church on Tuesday mornings. We put peppermint extract in the red paint, the kiddos really liked it!!

I made this outfit for Natalyn to wear to church the Sunday before Christmas, Scott thought Natalyn looked like an elf!! HOW RUDE!!! (I thought this dress looked a little like the apple dresses Mammoo made for me and my cousin Kelli to wear when we were little girls!)
