Time Flies

We have been busy... with what I am not sure, but time has gotten away from me. Posted are some recent pictures of Presley and activities we have done. She is at the "terrible two" stage. She throws tantrums, ignores me, throws her dinner plate... all resulting in the time out chair... so far no repeats of anything she has been scolded for!!! She may look like an angel, but holy crap--- she is just like her MAMA!!!

Such a big girl... 19 months

Below are pictures of my parents with the grandkids at an apple orchard.

Presley playing... yes that Barbie car is from when I was younger!!!

Trick-or-Treat

This was Presley's first year really out and about. She had fun going up to the 7 doors we went to!! She said "peas" and "shashshu." She is so polite- I LOVE IT!

This is my dad pulling our "kitty"

Been busy

This month has FLOWN by... it looks like I am a bit behind on posting. A few weekends ago, my brother and his family invited Presley and I to go to Wisconsin Dells with them. We had a blast! It was nice to get away from work and "life" for the four days and spend some quality time with Presley and the others. It took Presley three days to actually like going into the water areas, but she still had fun. I don't have any pictures of the water parks because of the water!!! We did have a minor set back... yes she ended up in the ER for her stinkin ear again! I lost track on what number ear infection this is.


The three kids in the back- driving to the Dells.

Presley "sleep walking"... she's a goofball

Last weekend, Presley had her 18 month pictures done. They turned out amazing.. she is such a HAM! I will post those once they come back.


Presley is growing like crazy and learning new stuff all the time. She has fallin in love with "DoraDora" She knows it comes on after dinner, so she will eat then go to the couch with the remote and yell "DoraDora" She is too much sometimes.


That's all for now. I will get better about taking pictures!!!

Yummy Fall

Just thought I would post some pictures of the fall season of Minnesota!!! I LOVE THIS TIME!!!

Hand Foot Mouth

How many times will she get it? The night after her check up, when she was spiking fevers... I thought she was just reacting to the shot. But come to find out... she had HAND FOOT MOUTH disease AGAIN. This time it was BAD! Her poor lips, tongue, under the tongue, and throat were COVERED in blisters! She wouldn't eat for three days! The nights were TERRIBLE! The treatment... NOTHING. Tylenol and Motrin for fevers and pain. I will give a tip if you child ever experiences this... give them 1/2 tsp of Mylanta. They can swallow it or spit it out, but it sooths the blisters.

18 months

I haven't taken any pictures lately. I guess I am too busy running around with Presley. She sure is busy these days. She had the 18 month check up yesterday. She weighs 24 pounds, is 31 inches tall and her head is 18 and 3/4. All were about in the 50% for her age. She is doing awesome with vocabulary. It's amazing what an 18 month old retains. She is still adjusting to our "new" home at Grandma and Grandpa's. I had her sleeping through the night before we moved out and now she's up anywhere from 1 -4 times a night!! AAAHHH!! Last night, she was up about 8 times. She always get a fever with shots and she got a shot last night!! Poor kid. I will get some new pictures up soon.
