Updates

2011-10-01T08:12:00.002-06:00

Well a few updates for everyone. Julia started kindergarten and she LOVES it. She has been going for about a month and is in the afternoon class. I go help in her class on Thursdays and Julia thinks that is so cool her mom comes to her class! I am glad that she thinks that. She also went on a community field trip this past Wednesday to the Fire Station and the Post Office. She thought it was way fun because she got to shot the fire hose. She also got to see her mom dressed up like a fireman! (pictures to come hopefully if I can get them from the teacher)
We also had our first SEP conferences and the teacher told me Julia has a little problem with being silly in class, but when the teacher tells her to settle down she does and that she is very respectful and she appreciates that (now if I can get her to do that to everyone).
She also said she is top of her class in reading, that there is only one other student that is at her level, which made her mom pretty proud.
She took a DIBELS test (which stands for Dynamic Indications of Basic Early Literacy Skills) and she takes two test and is timed for one minute each. One test she should have 10 and she scored 42 and the other she should have 8 and she had 28. So another thing that made her mom proud!
Emma is growing and starting to talk a little more and our little Thair has started to crawl around and is just a cute little thing
Love you all!

Time Flies

2011-03-02T20:19:00.002-07:00

Well just to update everyone. We had a beautiful baby boy on Jan 23 at 2:25pm. He weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz and was 19 inches long. We named him Thair Allen McMurdie and he is a joy. Julia is a wonderful second mom and loves helping taking care of him. Emma struggles, she is doing better, but she still gets jealous and demands moms attention. We can't believe that he is 5 1/2 weeks already. Marie loves to help out so mom can shower, clean, or take care of the kids.
Julia is still loving preschool and we can't believe she will be in kindergarten next year.

Emma is growing fast and loves to make sure Thair has is binkie.

News

2010-08-03T14:23:00.002-06:00

Well for those who don't know yet, or have a suspicion, yes we are pregnant. We are very excited! We are due in Feb. and Julia is determined she is going to have a baby brother. Julia has also deceided the name of the baby. If it is a girl she wants the name Dora Julia, and if it is a boy Diego Julia. Yes she loves Dora and Diego. We are about 13 weeks along and it has been an emotional roller coaster!! We will be very excited when we are in our 2nd tri! I have been very, VERY tired!!! With 2 girls running around ( the four year old teasing the 1 year old all day everyday) gets me very worn out. Kyle is a good husband and helps out so well!!
More to come!!!

Sneaky, sneaky

2010-04-16T15:20:00.002-06:00

Okay so we are eating the other day and our sweet little Emma was eating with us as well, when she didn't want something and thought we couldn't see she dropped her food very sneaky in her lap, then she went on eating what she wanted. And it didn't happen just once, but multiple times. it was very cute!!

Julia's Christmas Program

2009-12-23T12:06:00.006-07:00

Julia had her Christmas program at school the other day and did soooooo good. It was really good! She said her parts and sang just like she was supposed to. The other kids did great as well. She wrote a letter to Santa and this is what is says
Dear Santa,
I want some toys, I love toys, and I want lots of toys. I have two bears, and my favorite friend is Ashley because she played at my house, but then she had to go home. I want three teddy bears. Emma likes baby toys.
Love Julia.
Posted are some pictures and videos.
If you cant hear Julia she said
R is for Rudolph who guides Santa's sleigh
I is for Icicle I love to lick
We are very proud of how Julia is growing and she is into everything. She is a typical three year old and is very hyper at times. She is a good big sister and loves Emma.
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Glass

2009-11-23T08:21:00.001-07:00

As Kyle and I were watching the RSL game last night I noticed he had a scab that was poking out more than a normal scab. So me being a picker picked at it and pulled out a piece of glass. WOW!! More than a month after the accident we still have glass in his arm. Hopefully no more. Kyle's arm is healing very nice and I don't think it is going to scar much. Hope everyone has a nice thanksgiivng!

YES!!

2009-10-29T17:18:00.002-06:00

Okay I have to brag. The other day my pager goes off. At first I wasn't sure it had gone off, but then I heard the fire alarm. So I get up and go. CCEMS(cache coutny emergency services) and Logan city are now letting out laying emt's to ride in with them to the hospital. So Logan comes out to help us on every call. So on the call they ask if anyone wants to ride in with them and I volunteered. So I am riding in and they decided this pt. needs an IV. I ask if they want me to spike the bag and they said sure, well then they ask if I am an intermediate, i said yes and they asked if I wanted to start the IV. I said sure. So I started and IV in the back of a moving ambulance, and I got it on my first try! YEAH FOR ME!!

Autumn Fun

2009-10-25T18:50:00.002-06:00

Well as you may know Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I decided to go rake leaves the other day and it turned out to be more of a rake leaves and then jump in and make a mess. But Julia and I had a fun time. Posted are pictures of it. Marie even came out and watched the fun. Emma helped too.

Day of Thanksgiving

2009-10-22T07:33:00.003-06:00

Okay I am finally posting pictures of Kyle's accident. For those who don't know, Monday morning on his way to work Kyle hit a horse. Yes you read that right a horse! It was a black draft horse and it was dark, all he saw were the hoofs and he thought "Oh crap I am a dead man!" Thank goodness he is alright. The car is totalled but Ky is fine! The owner of the horse was more concerned for the horse than he was of Kyle, which made everyone a little upset, including the cops. Below are pictures of the car and Kyle's arm. Yes that is all that happened to Kyle, other than being shook up, his arm was full of abrasions and glass. Spent 3 hours at the hospital to clean it up and get all the glass out!

Moving

2009-07-28T07:13:00.003-06:00

Okay Jan I accepted your challenge and here I am posting something on our blog!

For all that don't know we have moved. We moved up the street a couple blocks and living in a basement of an older lady, Marie. In exchange of taking care of Marie we get to live here rent free, utility free in exchange we have to make sure she gets three meals a day, get her meds, keep the yard work and house work done, and Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday every other week help her get bathed. It has been great! We love her and she loves our kids. She is French and has a really thick French accent. Emma has become a lot more calm and happier since we have moved here. Marie has been really good to her! We have been here for a month and have a couple more boxes to unpack, but we have a lot more room and it is great to have that! Hope u all have a great week!

Pictures Of The Cutest Little Girl Ever!!!!

In case you haven't seen her yet, here's our newest addition!!!

Baby Emma

2009-03-21T09:50:00.002-06:00

Baby Emma arrived at 12:04 am on March 18th 2009. She weighed in at 6lbs 15 oz. and was 18 1/2 inches long. We went in @ 7:30 pm to get induced. THe doctor broke my water about 11 pm that night and everyone thought it would be a while, but low and behold I dialated from a 4 to complete in an hour. We are so grateful she is her and healthy. Both mom and baby are doing well and Julia is going to be a great big sister! She is very protective of her Emma. When we gave Emma her first bath we were hoping to have Julia help us, but poor Julia ran out to the room crying because she was afraid that Emma was hurting. We had to explain that everything was okay. But Julia has been so good to help in everyway she can. We are very excited to have Emma home and healthy!

Growing Up

2009-02-20T11:13:00.002-07:00

Well Julia is sure wanting to be a big girl lately! Thank goodness. Wednesday at the ball game she wanted to walk all the way to the car. She is also now walking down the stairs by all herself and climbing into her carseat. Mommie is so glad because it helps with my back. She has also started to trace her letters and numbers. SHe thinks that is way fun and does not want any help! She is always excited to go the the doctor with me and see baby Emma. However when I say we are going she grabs her legs and says "don't let them hurt my leg!" Yes we took her into the doctor a couple weeks ago and she got her 2nd chicken pox vaccine and she did not like it. SHe is growing up way to fast. At her three yo well visit she weighed 30lbs and was 35 1/4 in. long. She keeps me going all day and loves being a big girl!

Well I went into the doctor yesterday to get another biphysical profile. Emma passed again with flying colors! It took about 5 minutes to do the whole thing. She is also measuring a week ahead of schedule, so I may have only 6 weeks left.We also had a party for Julia on Monday. We had cupcakes and ice cream and Julia was so cute. SHe kept telling people she was 3 1/2. She made a lot of dough for her birthday so we decided to let her spent half and put the other half in savings. SHe got 3 tinker bell fairies with her birthday money. She has been very possisve of her birthday ballons. We sure do enjoy her! She also insists on being a big girl and walking everywhere! What a relief for me since I am getting bigger!!Well that's the news from us, I will tell kyle to post some pictures!

holidays

2008-12-15T10:08:00.002-07:00

Well I hope all is going well with everyone. We are doing great. I saw the doctor the other day and everything is going well!! We will have another ultrasound next time to make sure the baby is doing fine. I get the sugar drink next time as well and unlike most women I don't mind it. The only thing I hate about it is having to drink it in 5 mins. Julia is doing great. We ask her what she wants for Christmas and all she wants is a tree. :)
I hope all will keep me in your prayers, this is our anniversary week of little Abby and I am trying to keep myself busy. As the three of us we are planning a birthday party for her to celebrate just as a family.
Merry Christmas to all!!

Its a girl

2008-11-24T09:33:00.001-07:00

For those that do not know we are having another girl!! We are way excited. Julia loves talking about the baby in HER tummy! Baby Emma. Hope all is well with everyone!

Kids say the craziest things

2008-10-29T09:52:00.000-06:00

Last night as we were saying our prayers Julia wanted to say it. Although Julia can say the prayer by all herself she asks for help and of course mommy was her choice to help. As I was helping her I said "please bless that no harm or accident will come upon us" she said "please bless that no harm or pocahontas". It took me just a minute to gain my composure to help her finish. It was quite funny to hear her say that. Where she came up with that is still a mystery. Hope all is well with everyone!

Days go by

2008-10-21T10:18:00.002-06:00

Well here it is Tuesday and not much has happened. We are still trying to potty train Julia, what a slow process. Some days she does really good and others, well other days we just have a bad day. For all that don't know we finally got a decent kitchen table. (our old one worked just fine, but not quite big enough!) We are loving it!! We can actually sit down at the table with our food so we don't have to make trips back into the kitchen to get our food, we can serve it at the table!! We are loving life and excited for our little one to arrive in march or april. Everything has gone really well this pregnancy. No problems so far, except for a few nerves that Mommy (angie) has had! I have only had to go in once between appointments for a heartbeat check and everything was a ok. We are very glad that everything is going good and not much action has happened! We hope all is well.

Welcome

2008-10-19T18:17:00.000-06:00
