yay!!!

Due to the snow yesterday, Jacob came home from work a little early and I got him to put the baby's changing table/dresser together!!! I love it and I think it matches the crib perfectly! I need to get some baskets, one to go on the top part next to the changing pad for diaper changing items and then some baskets for inside the door for diapers and miscellaneous stuff. I also want to wash all his Newborn clothes so I can fill the drawers! I might do that this weekend! :)

inside the door... I think he's going to need more diapers! ;)

FYI: I have outlet covers but can't find our flat screwdriver! :)

Jacob's project for this weekend is to install the new blinds. I also got Kylie's room new blinds as well. Let's just say blinds are not Jacob's favorite thing to do, along with putting things together! :) Once we get back from IL, we'll get the closet shelving & closet doors!

reindeer AND snow!!!

Today was a snow day! All the schools decided to close and it hadn't even started snowing yet but it was suppose to start later in the morning. Nicole still had to go to school so she brought Haylee over. And then Shay asked me if I could watch Marty because her school was closed and she needed to go into work for a little bit. So I had all 3 girls to watch today! The girls played, we watched Rudolph & Cinderella and we even did a fun art project!

ain't she the cutest thing ever??!!!!

Kylie's Christmas Program!

Today, Kylie had her Christmas program at her school! I was watching Haylee so she was able to come and Grandma & Jacob came from work. We were able to see Kylie a lot better this time since it wasn't the whole school there [like the Thanksgiving feast], it was only the kids that are there M/W/F's and I made sure I got there a little early to get decent seats!

Here are the videos...

room updates!

We finally got all the painting done in the baby's room! So I cleaned the floors real good and we laid down the area rug. We still need to have the ceiling fan/light installed, the closet shelving put up and new closet doors put in. Since Kylie got a big girl bed, we moved the crib into the baby's room. The front part was taken off when we put up the toddler railing and we need to get it out of the attic and attach it. Also we should be getting the changing table/ dresser this week but probably won't have time to put it together this weekend and it'll have to wait until after we get back from IL! I also went through Kylie's closet and went through all the baby stuff: bibs, towels, washclothes, blankets, sippy cups, diaper bags, etc. I filled up a big bag to donate and kept some stuff for Brayden and moved it all to his room. So now his closet is full of stuff that I will organize once we get his dresser and closet shelves put together, maybe one day! :)

Kylie got a big girl bed, a twin bed and we put it all together this past weekend! We put it all together and made the bed before we let her see it all done. Once she saw it, she was so excited and kept climbing up and down it! And by the time, we were done it was almost bedtime and she was ready to go to bed and was so excited to sleep in it! I was a little nervous that she would fall out of the bed when she was sleeping since it's higher than her toddler bed and there's no railing. I put her Dora sofa on the floor next to her bed so if she did fall off, it would be a soft surface. But she did really good and didn't fall off the bed all night, hopefully she continues to do well. Every time I go in her room it is so weird seeing a regular bed in there! It makes me feel like she's such a big girl! :(

I snuck in her room after she had fallen asleep to make sure she was still on the bed and to get a picture of her sleeping in her big girl bed for the 1st time! I hadn't gotten her new comforter yet [Grandma found it at a Wal-mart by her house!] so she was still sleeping with her baby blankets.

Here comes Santa Claus....

On Sunday, we went to the mall to see Santa! As we got closer, Kylie seemed a little uneasy but I kept telling her he was very nice and asked her what she was going to tell him she wanted for Christmas. Once we got up there, she went right to him and I put her on his lap. It was so cute seeing her tell him what she wanted [wonder if he even understood her- HAHA]!

the girls waiting in line...
