Better late than never

So I know I'm a little slow but here are some or Christmas pictures. At the Christmas party Alex loved Santa this year and I had to drag him off his lap so other kids could have a turn....Kaylee was a different story!!!
We got to go down to Grandma Gay's & Grandpa Jim's before Christmas to pick up Daddy and so the kids got two Christmas they had a blast and they decorated cup cakes with Cousin Jayna. Then we had Christmas at Howe and the kids were definetly spoiled this year they got a kitchen set and some awesome stuff to go with it!! This year I made them quilts for there new rooms, hopefully I'll have pics soon to show you of there rooms decorated....I cant wait!! Also in December Mark Graduated so I put a couple of those pics on too!!

Alex is 3

We celebrated Alex's third Birthday on Sunday and he was so cute. He loves Curious George so I made in a cake and we decorated with the little monkey. Alex kept telling us.."I happy" it was really cute. He loved opening the presents and by the end of the night he had played with everything. HE also had three slices of cake the kid really loves cake. I can't believe how fast time goes by and that he is three already it doesn't seem like very long ago when he was born. Alex is such a sweet heart and has such a great personality we love him very much and are lucky that he is part of our Family!!

I love this!!

Toddler's Creed

If I want it, it's mine.
If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine.
If I take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it alittle while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it will never belong to anybady else, no matter what.
If we are build something together, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it's mine.

I had to share this ..... how true... how ture it is!! This is exactly how Alex acts everything is HINE and nothing is his sisters!!!!

Kaylee's 1st B-day

I cant believe that Kaylee is one she is getting so big. She is defenitly my drama queen and is very senstive all Alex has to do is tell her NO!!! to make her throw herself back and cry. She is a sweet snuggley thing to and we are so happy she is part of the fam. For her B-day I tried to make her cake and its a rainbow cake but it didn't turn out quite how I hope oh well there is always next year. She wasn't too interested in the present but Alex sure was and had no problem opening some. I aslo made pudding pop's that were rainbow and the look on her face when she tried them was priceless!! Kayla and Ronaldo came over and celebrated with us and it was a blast!!! Kaylee is such a sweet heart and we love her so much, I really couldn't imagine my life with out her!!

Kaylee

Stone Highlights:
About a week ago we got to go to this lake up by Howe and it was so much fun. It was cold but fun, the temp was around 62. Crazy Mark actually got his suit on and got in the water. It was freezing seriously there was still snow. The kids had a great time and Alex loved throwing rocks in the water.

***Alex right now loves the moon he keeps telling it DOWN DOWN Moon and he thinks it his he says, "hine, hine" Its really cute.

****Alex finally doesn't have a binkie...yayayaya so exciting a friend gave me a great idea about taking him to Build a bear but I'm too cheap for that so istead we made our own binkie bear we cut the belly open and stuffed the binkie in and sewed him up ...so far so good now he just snuggles the bear much better.

***Kaylee is walking she is just a little wobbly I think by her B-day she'll be everywhere.

*** Unfortantly for me I had another B-day and turned 29 crazy and so sad I'm getting so old =)

****Marks doing great and working of our house every night one night he stayed out till 4am. Then he gets up and works on the farm till 8pm or later and does all over again.

***We start school again on Monday so we'll be back and forth again..sad because it means less work on the house.
(Pictures of the house coming soon)

Part 1

I am a terrible blogger, I should be updated way more.. I take a ton of pictures and then I wait forever to post them and have to do two post oh well!! In my defense my computer crashed so I had to get another one but really it doesn't explain the gap!! =)

The kids are doing great Kaylee is such a little sweet heart she is always smiling. She loves to snuggle which is great since Alex never was a snuggler. I think she going to be just like her brother a little climber, she climbs to the top of our slide and its not one of those little ones its crazy I need to post of video of it.

Alex is doing good to, we found out just recent'y that he had 5 cavitys and since he is under three they had to put him under. It went great, alot better than I expected it to so that was nice he didn't even cry when they took him back. And other than puking all over me when he woke up he did awesome. That same night he was jumping on the trampoline like nothing happened!! Thats my Alex!!!

Overdue Post

Wow, have I been neglecting this blog or what. Well I'll give you alittle update with whats been going on. In April Mark, Kaylee and Me went to Seattle for a little trip. It was awesome to get away for even a couple days. We went to Seattle and went up the space needle, Pikes Market place which was awesome they had so many pretty tulips I wanted to buy them all. The cool thing was that they were cheap, I kept telling Mark," I cant believe how much these are." I bought the bundle of flowers in the pic on the right for ten bucks. Trust me I've worked at lots of Flower shops and that is a steal!! If only I could go there everyweek to buy flowers wouldn't that be cool, on second thought maybe not cool enough to make up for the big city. After we went to Seattle we stopped by and visited My really awesome friend Katie, we went to some fabric stores, stayed at her house with her and her family. WE had such a great time its was really nice to get to see her again.
Now on to the kiddos, both of them are getting so big so fast its crazy. Kaylee is 8 months and I really cant believe it she's crawling and is defenitly developing a personality of her own. She is a huge mamma' s girl anytime she sees me she wants all my attention and when Alex steals her toys which is pretty much all the time she starts crying and looking at me like Aren't you going to do anything about him!!!
Alex is.... well what can I say other than he's just Alex. He's my handful child but he's fun to be around and is always doing something silly like climbing on top of our SVU or locking himself inside and starting it.. with mommy outside screaming at him to open the door. The kid has no fear of heights which worries me alot and defenitly has a mind of his own!!

Mr&Mrs Potato Head

Megan had found these on a craft blog and made one so i copied her pattern. These cute little potato heads I made out of felt with my neighbor Laura. It really didn't take that long to cut them out and sew them and it was a ton of fun. It will be perfect for church. I'm also working on a quiet book so I'll post pic's of that later.

Kaylee 5 months old

I cant believe it Kaylee is 5 months..where does time go?? She had her check up and she weighs 14.2 pounds and is 25 1/2 inches long. She is our happy happy baby she's always smiling and laughing. She's rolling over and grabbing everything. Alex loves his baby sister, maybe a little too much but he loves to talk to her and make her smile.

It has been forever since I've posted anything..I didn't even post Christmas pics. Well things here have been a little crazy and Mark started school again. The kids are doing good Kaylee is growing so much. This picture was actually taken before Christmas, time is really flying by and I lose track of the weeks pretty soon it will be spring and I cant wait. Alex really misses being able to go outside and so do I, we are counting down the days!

Alex's B-day & Kaylee's Blessing

On the 6th we celebrated Alex's b-day and Kaylee's blessing. It so crazy how fast time fly's Alex is offically two. He was so cute with his cake ... but who could blame him with a cke that's pretty much all candy he loved it. He was taking on the kitkats and passing them out to everyone and eating the m&m's off the top. I wasn't really sure how he would react to the gifts but I really didn't even have to tell him what to do he just started ripping them open. He had no problem opening them all and I cant wait till Christmas because he is going to go nuts. He got some clothes for his Birthday and he instantly wanted to put them on.

Tidbits about 2 year old Alex: He's a monkey all the time, working on pottey training and doing great, loves Toy story but wont watch any other form of TV (I got him a Buzz lightyear for Christmas and I can hardly wait to give it to him) Alex loves his sister even though he can be alittle abuse and he is a sweet heart (when he wants to be) and we are very lucky to have him in our family!!!
Kaylee had here blessing on the same day as Alex's B-day and we were lucky to have Great Grandparents drive up for it. We even got a four generation picture w/ Kaylee, Grandma Janene, Great Grandma Gay & Me. She looked so precious, orginally I had made a blessing dress out of my wedding dress but sad to say that once I got it on her it didn't really want to come off so I just bought her a new one...oh well I tried I'll have to post a pic because it turned out pretty cute!!!

update

So I haven't updated my blog in awhile, thing have been a little crazy and alot has happened. First we had Grandma Cathy come to visit and we were so happy that she got to come and see baby Kaylee and play with Alex. We had a great Halloween and we carved pumpkins and went to the trunk or treat. Then a couple weeks later Grandpa Randy got to come for a visit, it really is so nice to get to see them. On other news ... very sad news my camera decided that it was going to die... but good news is I got an early Christmas present, we decide to get a good camera so it will last so I got a Canon Rebel and let me tell you I am in love the pictures above i took them with my new camera. They are so clear and its really so easy to use. Like I said I'm in love and you might start getting a picture overload on the blog. Things at the Stone's are going really good and I have to say having two kids is turning out for me to be easier than I expected but that could be due to the fact that Kaylee is a great baby she sleeps pretty good and overall she is super happy. I defenitly had my hard baby first which I am thankful for because Alex is still a handful=)

So things are going good at the Stone's although he has become very attatched to mommy and really doesn't like me holding the baby at all. It defintely makes feeding interesting. In the picture were I'm holding both of them I was trying to burp Kaylee and as you can see who wanted to help.

This was so funny I was at the neighbors and Alex had started to cry well Mark just let him cry himself back to sleep and when Grandma went to check on him this is how we found him dead asleep, with the light on and feet dangling!!

Kaylee's Pictures

My neighbor Megan took these amazing pictures of Kaylee. They turned out so perfect you'll have to go check out here photography blog to see the other ones. The hard part is going to be choosing which ones to have printed... well not that hard becuase they are all great so I'll just have to get them all. She did some amazing things with adobe photoshop on some of them!!Thanks so much Megan I love them!!
She also designed some digital scrapbooking pages and kits...and they are free but she could totally charge money for them!!! All of my cute little picture collages came from her free templates!!

Here are some more cute pic's of our little Kaylee, so far she is a really good baby she still is mixed up on sleeping all day and being up at night but I'm working on that. Right now the new development in the Stone Crazy house is that Alex is a MONKEY yesterday he layed down for a nap and all of the sudden I heard the music blarring and I knew that the cd player was on top of our really tall dresser. Then I heard Alex screaming and sure enough he was on top of it and couldn't get back down. Today Alex started climbing out of his crib and he lands completely on his feet, later I'll post a pic of his room because his crib is pretty high off the ground. So needless to say he has to sleep in his toddler bed. Nap time didn't go so well with him screaming for an hour but tonight he went right to bed so keep your fingers crossed!!

Kaylee

Here is our sweet little Kaylee, everything went good with the c-section and she is doing really good. They let us come home from the hospital early and we got home on Friday around 3:00pm. So far she's a great little eater and not to bad on the sleeping. Alex doesn't quite know what to think about her yet, but he'll come around and I'll post more pic's later.

Project's

I had to post my projects and normally I'd post them on the quilt blog but I haven't been very good at updating that so I thought that I'd post my pic's here. I made my own pink car seat cover and am pretty proud how it turned out, I was doubting that I could do it and it turned out to be pretty easy. I just put it directly over the top of the one I used for Alex!!

I wasn't going to make a diaper bag but I saw this pattern and it looked really easy. The pictures dont really show how much crap it can really hold and I added a few extra pockets. It was a great easy pattern and I love how it turned out not to mention that I already had all the fabric I need to make it so I just had to buy the gramets and the lining and pattern!!!

Updating!!

So I really am going to post something and update the blog....I only have 10 days left till I have my c-section, crazy I know this summer has flown by I don't even really know where it went!! I'm going to take some new pics to post tomorrow so I wont be so far behind on whats happening. Mark started school in Pocatello last week and Alex is getting so big and I think into his terrible two's way too early but what can ya do!!! Its so crazy to think that soon I'll have two... maybe I'll even take a pick of my prego belly, who knows!!!
