Busy, busy

Sorry this is going to kind of be a whole bunch of posts all at once. Last Friday night we decided to go to the pool with John, Jodie, Sadie, Darren, Molly and Islay. It was a blast other than the fact that Kianna had got her immunizations that day and was a little bit cranky. Anyways it was her first time at the pool so I think she did ok. Kade LOVED it....so much. It was adorable. Definitely enjoy the Airdrie pool a lot....so awesome. Will definitely be making a lot of trips out there this winter.


This is our attempt at getting a picture of the kids...excluding Islay....but the cousins anyways....not so great but hey. At least one is looking...


Kade absolutely loved the little fountain things they had....

Had a great busy week this week. Can't believe it is Monday already (technically since its 12:06am...ha ha) Anyways hubby had a couple of days off so we decided on short notice that we were going to go to West Ed and stay at the Fantasyland hotel...coincidentally enough they have a room called the truck room so we decided to stay there since Kade is in love with anything involving keys and a steering wheel. Off we went. We had a ball and had a personal babysitter...(the truck).







Definitely have been getting inspired by everyone lately...too bad I am not a sewer and really don't do much myself...pay to get it done or pay to buy it rather than make it. Anyways all you crafty people out there are amazing and I wish I was more talented in that area but I definitely am going to try more things....hopefully. I am sure there will be many failed attempts but hey....its worth a try.
Trying to get some pics of the kids together lately and this is what we got. I think they are both pretty cute....and they actually did not turn out that bad...I don't think.


Ahhhhh so stinkin CUTE!!!! :)

Thats it thats all...BED TIME!

September already???

So fall has begun....well actually I think here in Calgary it started a long time ago....arg. Definitely going to need a winter holiday this year. Anyways I am actually enjoying the colder days because it motivates me to get more done around the house. Yay. I have been baking up a storm lately and loving it. Here is what I got up to today...

Had my beautiful little neicey over for some lunch and chats today...love that little girl so much. She is getting so big but not too big. Kianna wore the hat that Ella is wearing when she was first born only for about 2 weeks I think...well maybe it was longer but it sure didn't seem like it was very long and here is little Ella wearing it at 9 weeks old. So adorable....love it. How perfect is she????


Tomorrow is immunizations day for my two little ones....a lot late for Kade and a little late for Kianna...ahhh!! Anyways it should prove to be an interesting night for me. Two in one day I don't know if I am smart or stupid. I guess I will see what tomorrow night brings. Hopefully they are both fine. It will be interesting to see what they both weigh. I know Kade is growing but definitely at the slower toddler rate and Kianna is growing rapidly at the baby stage.....I want her to stay little.

Man how time flies look at how big they both are getting. Ahhh.Kade is loving getting more interactive with his toys and absolutely loves these stacking cups. They are his favorite. Kianna just basically loves being held.






Anyways thats all for today. Now off to make supper and the kids will be up from naps shortly. Got them to sleep at the same time today yay! :) Doesn't happen to often so when it does its quite quiet.
Have a great day everyone! :)

Sorry

Cody and I at My Favorite Ice Cream

Ok so I seriously love, love reading blogs. I am so so terrible at updating my own blog though. Right now my life feels like it is in fast forward. I am not really sure where each day goes. My "new" baby is already going to be 11 weeks this thursday. Just about 3 months. Thats how much my life is in fast forward. Crazy hey? Anyways so I apologize for being so horrible for updating.

Kianna 10 weeks & 4 days

So its already August and I am feeling a little bit jipped on the summer since we haven't really had that nice of weather. A lot of rain it seems. Oh yah and on the nice days it seems like I spend it inside cleaning or organizing or whatever. Everyone knows what I am talking about I am sure. This summer has definitely been another summer of many memories.
Had a fabulous convention at Didsbury 1 didn't want it to end. Its so nice to have something great to look forward to every year to give us a little or in my case a big push in the right direction.
My little sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl...which is so exciting. Ella Skye Baker weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces. Love cuddling the little newborn even though I did still kind of think that Kianna was still a newborn only to realize that she is more like a toddler....CRAZY. Loving being an auntie to another little girlie....Realized though how bad am I that I haven't even taken 1 picture of her on my camera....ack really gotta get it out. Mom takes enough pictures that I don't even need to worry about it!!
This past saturday we spent it at a funeral for a great guy who will be greatly missed by many and who touched so many lives. I had the great privilage of knowing Darryl a little bit and what I did know of him was amazing...a very positive uplifting guy. We will miss you Darryl. My heart hurts for his family who are mourning this loss right now. My sister in law picked the hymn leave it in Jesus hands after hearing of his loss and it fit perfectly. God has a great plan for each of our lives and sometimes we don't always know why but I need to learn how to leave everything in his hands.
Anyways Kade is growing so big...he is definitaly getting to be a big boy now and having his own little will...yikes...sometimes its a little scary that he can have such an attitude at such a young age but I realize that I need to just embrace every little stage.....even when I want to pull my hair out. Ha ha!!
Anyways thats all for today...hope everyone is having a great summer and had a great weekend.

Getting into the groove

Wow I am good after not posting for like 3 months and then 2 posts in one week with two children yay me. Well I must say it helps that it hasn't been overally nice because we haven't got too much outside time unfortunately. Anyways hopefully the weather starts being better because its getting a little rediculous.
Here is the latest family picture....realized that getting family pictures is next to impossible....kade did not want to look or sit there until grammy brought out the awesome sucker...so out of a ton of pictures 1 turned out....1 picture...ha ha.
Anyways I better go get my little one fed....have a great day.

Life with 2 babies...

Well apparently life is busy considering I haven't actually wrote on here for so long. Anyways I guess I better update now that we have a new addition that is by the way 3 weeks old...Already! WOW! I don't know why 9 months goes so slow when the babies are on the inside and how years go soooooooooooo fast when they are on the outside.
Anyways I love reading birth stories of other people I think it is soooooo amazing but you don't have to read it if you aren't interested. So I started having contractions at 5:30am they weren't anything to major though so I figured I would time them...they were already 5 minutes apart (oh and p.s. the last time I had been at the doctor I was already 4 centimeters dilated ha ha...which no one can actually believe they all thought the baby should be falling out at that point...) Anyways so by 6:30am I tried to have a bath my contractions were still not to major and they were about 3 minutes apart but I didn't really know what to think. So I thought that I would get Cody up and we would drop Kade off at my mom and dads and go to the hospital. Got to Mom and Dads at about 7:00am and started through rush hour traffic to the hospital....I must say I was kind of getting worried that we were going to have a baby in the car but we made it...YAY! :) So we got checked in to the hospital (still might add that the contractions were nothing i couldn't handle) so got admitted and played the waiting game for a hour or so...the nurse came in and noticed that my contractions were coming right after another pretty much so she checked me and i was 10 centimeters dilated. So time to start pushing. She paged the doctor and when the doctor got there she told me to start pushing on my next contraction...so apparently I was having a contraction and I couldn't even feel it. LUCKY ME! :) Anyways so the pushing started....Cody said it was only about 4 pushes and she was out. They had guessed that the baby would be about 7 pounds. She came out weighing 8 pounds 15 ounces. BIG GIRL! :) Anyways she was very pink and healthy very exciting for us after having such a sick baby the first time around. It was great to have Cody actually there for the birth this time I think he was pretty excited to be there as well. Anyways so Kianna Rayne Geck was born on May 27, 2010 @ 9:30am.
Anyways so life has been pretty busy around here with 2 children but we are slowly getting into a routine...well i don't know if you call it a routine but getting to know Kianna and her little routine! :) Loving our little dolls. Anyways thats all for today Kianna will be getting up to eat shortly but will add a few pics of the little dolls.

I hope my heart expands...

Ok so everyone says that when you have baby #2 that your heart expands. I really hope that happens because man I love my little guy and now another one is coming and I am wondering how I am going to love baby #2 as much as I love baby #1. That might sound bad but I have heard most moms to be of 2 babies feel this way. Anyways we have been taking in the sunshine after being very cooped up in the house for the whole winter. Being pregnant through the winter has a bonus because I don't really enjoy winter anyways and then I get to relax and stay inside with my pj's on 24/7. SAWEET! ha ha. I am sure my husband doesn't feel the same way. Anyways here are some pictures from our day at the park the other day with Auntie Shay.

Sleep...what is that anyways?

So I am not really sure what my problem is lately but man oh man can I not sleep. I toss and turn for what feels like the WHOLE night. Is it just me or is it when you are pregnant that you feel as though your bed just isn't quite big enough! Seriously if I had it my way i would be going to by us a king sized bed today. Most nights are spent on the very edge of the bed which is always really fun. My hubby swears that I am the one that takes up all the room and that really he is up all night.....NOT!!!! So there is my vent for the day. Why is it also that I wake up thinking I am almost going to pee my pants only to get to the toilet and have a little tinkle....like come on.... ha ha! Anyways I will laugh about this one day I am sure but as for right now I would really like to be able to have a full nights sleep where I don't wake up once....Not going to happen for a very very long time. I guess I may as well enjoy the moments because they will soon be long in the past.
