THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT HAVE SEVERED OUR COUNTRY AND FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!

Thank you for all those that served our country and gave us our FREEDOM!!

So We have been thinking a lot lately about the girls hair being cut and how it will be easier to take care of especially in the summer. So after I was doing yard work this morning I said Rylee lets go cut your hair. As I was doing it I could not cut her hair. We were going to cut it to her jaw and got it all ready and could not do it. I took off almost an inch and in the pictures it probably doesn't look like it but her hair was braided in the before picture. I think I like her hair long,

Maevree's blessing day, actually a week later. We are so happy to have both sets of grandparents here and Jerimiah and Amanda come with their children, Tabitha and Seth. We missed family that were not able to make it but totally understand why!

Oh how they grow so fast. We love this little girl. We are 2 months old weighing 9 lbs 8 oz and 23 1/2 inches long. Had our first set of shots and doing fairly well.

Went to the dr. again for a weight check and we have lost another 2 oz. The Dr. said not to worry about it but they said by her 2 week visit she needs to be at her birth weight. Well that appt. is on the 5th of April and I really don't think she will be there if today the weighed her and she was less than when she went in last time. I guess I will be giving her some formula at least twice a day to see if that helps. Who knows!

Here are the rest of the girls and their spring photos. They are just fun ones. I love when the earth is alive again.

SHE IS HERE!!! Yeah :) Maevree LaMae Udy was born March 20.2011. @ 3:49 am. contractions started at 1 a.m. and back labor of course, nurses that did not listen again and no epidural, pain was intense, husband not very happy they did not listen and to see his wife go through this pain does not make him a happy man. But all in the end with all the months of different hormone changes, eating changes, weight changes, and Dr. visits, and the pain of the contractions starting and how long will this one last we have this beautiful baby that comes straight from our Heavenly Father into our arms and aren't we the luckiest to have something so pure in our arms. I love having this new addition to our family. Having 5 beautiful girls is wonderful. The older girls are very helpful and even though the 1% of them hoping it would be a boy they absolutely love having her as their sister.
She is such a great baby even though she is one week today. She sleeps from 10 to 4 than 4 to 8. Likes to be help but doesn't mind laying down for while. Loves looking around already and trying to focus on things already. Loves to here Ashlee on the piano. Took her to piano lessons on Saturday and she would cry until Ashlee played the piano, I loved it. more photos to come, haven't gotten around to the photo taking yet, it's busy being a mom in general but to have 5 is a little bit tough when your still trying to get your whole strength back. I do own a lot of thank yous to my wonderful husband for taking 3 weeks off to help around the house. He is doing such an awesome job. I love this man!

I love the spring and hate it for all those that have allergies. The tree's are in bloom and I tried taking some spring pictures of rylee. There were some fun ones, crazy ones, and we tried to hard smiling ones. It was fun though. Can't wait till the others girls come home from school and we can take some of them. I love when the world looks alive again after a dead winter.

I love church sports. There is no competition and when you don't really know how to play it is a great learning experience. Aubree told me she was not going to play basketball for church that she wasn't going and that was it. I told her that she had yo go there will be only 4-5 games and thats it. You will like it. But of course mom knows nothing.... Wait who like or loves basketball... AUBREE!!! she has a great coach and she enjoys playing. She made 2 baskets her last game and we have won every game. We are excited that she enjoys it.

Rylee's 3rd Birthday... I found the pictures. I think I can do it now. So back date this to Feb. 19, 2011. She loves riding bikes. When it is too cold we ride in the house. Yeah!!!

Went to the Dr. today. Baby is still high but to me that means nothing. Ashlee was high even after they broke my water and 3 hours later there she was. I will start my walking since I am in the clear free zone now. They say the baby weighs 6 lbs and 4 oz. I think it would be perfect for her to come NOW!!! We will be seeing baby Maevree soon, I say within the next 2 weeks.

Well I have to say YEAH for the chiropractors! They have made my little sydnee better. She has felt good and energy level is back where she wants it. I love have healthy babies again. Just in time to have the baby now. 4 weeks and 5 days left, hoping for 1 week left. Contractions have started yesterday but did not go anywhere. Still pregnant and ready! I have a dr. appt on thursday to find out how big the baby is and hopefully the countdown will begin.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY RYLEE!!

Wow time flies, she is 3 today. I still haven't figured out the picture thing to put pictures onto the computer. We are so blessed to have this wonderful little girl in our lives. She has a wonderful attitude in life. Very happy(most of the time) very sweet, has her own little temper but never last to long. I think the only girl in the family that is a mamma's girl. The rest have been stuck on their Dad. That is ok though. We are very lucky to have her in our family.

I have a lot to update here. Just changed the background since HALLOWEEN! What, get on the ball Heather. Lots been going on, since last post. Went to Vegas with Rylee to visit family, I miss very very much. Got to see Jessie's new home which is beautiful, saw Holly and her family. Got to finally see Melly's home which is bigger than it seems from the outside, she will never have to move. Wait I could move in and there would still be room, haha.

Came home and Sydnee was sick, just the common cough, running nose, and looked like she did not feel well. Took her to the Dr. gave her a z pac and one week later she was better. Wait 1 week good then got the same thing again. Took her back to the dr. put her on a in haler and amoxicillian for the weekend, took e-rays of her chest, they thought she may have pneumonia, negative results, YEAH! day 2 on the inhaler no more cough but continued for the 3 days and finished meds. no joke was better 1 week and guess who gets sick again,SYDNEE. Same thing again. Coughing, nose, and her poor little face looks so sick. Heather takes her back to the drs. and they put her on amoxicillian again for 2 weeks and inhaler for a full week. gets better for just a couple of days and guess who got it again on Saturday, sydnee. Poor little girl. We have decided to take her to a chiropractor to see if he will be able to help. she will have her 2nd appt tomorrow. I hope s=he can do something for her, cause I need her to get better so she can play and have fun again. She has just been so tired and miserable.

What else has been going on. Last Friday night derrick was vacuuming the church for a funeral that was taking place that night and just turned the right way and hurt his back very bad. Poor guy. He came home from the funeral and could not move. The only movement he did for three day was move from the bed upstairs to the floor down stairs. We got him finally into a chiropractor and he has been to work. He still is in pain but he is moving and thats a good sign. We will get him better and hope he will get full strength of his back again.

Aubree and Ashlee got honor roll on their report card this quarter. I am so proud of them, working hard and keeping their grades high. If sydnee was able to get it in the first grade she would have got principals list, straight A's. She's loves school and I hope she continues to love it for the rest of her school years.

We have 6 weeks left until our 5th baby girl is due. And the struggle of naming this poor child has been difficult. Not sure why but it has. Maybe cause I ended all my girls with the ee and since I have to that start with A's and one with a S, and the other with a R i am limitied. I won't do another s because the r will say why am I the only one with a R and then the same with the s if I name it with a r. It is stupid but thats me for you. So all the names this little one could have been: Lundee LaMae, Pasilee LaMae, Hadlee LaMae, Emiree LaMae, Maebree LaMae, Tinlee LaMae. do you think Derrick and I could agree on any of them, NO! Friday came and we were at lunch and we needed to decide on a name. we did and I still feel fine with it and it has been almost a week. So we both liked Avree but there would be another A name and I being a brat did not want that, but I really like Maebree and Derrick did not care for that. So we added them kind of together and came up with Maevree LaMae Udy. So we are happy to have a name for our little one.
