I am tired of the ickies!
Here we are, a week since our girls had the stomach flu, and now finally, we are on the last family member to get it. Travis.. So I was sick on Saturday, alone, with all 3 girls. What fun that was... I badly wanted some sprite to settle my tummy, but I couldn't exactly pack up the girls to drive to the store, to get the girls out and walk in the store to get some. I mean, HELLO, I was feeling terrible! So I just dealt. Trav, mmmm, not so much. He gets sick, and I have to run to the store to get him some Sprite & Chicken noodle soup. Sheesh. Such is the life of the wife & mommy. Gotta love it! Which I truly do. I am very blessed, to have the family I have. Thank you Lord for everything you made Travis to be. He is a hard working, gentle spirited man, who loves his family more then the world. So, I guess he deserves to be cared for when sick huh.. So there you have it. I just now made my self feel bad for the thoughts I was having. Hope everyone else is healthy!

Lets go swimming swimming swimming...
This past weekend was a busy busy busy weekend. Friday night was spent running around, dropping Maddy off at a gymnastics birthday party, then going to a few stores to get everything else I needed for my older sisters baby shower that I threw on Saturday morning. After I got home I had to make shortcakes, a breakfast casserole, & little wiener wraps for the next mornings brunch. Woke up early on Saturday, finished up the casserole, got the kiddo's & my self dressed & ready, packed everything up in the car to be at my mom's house at 9:00 to set up for the shower which started at 11:00. The shower was beautiful, the weather was warm, but not too hot so we held it outside on the patio. She recieved some really nice things too. It was a great way to honor Charity, and her baby girl Olivia who is due in June! I am so excited to be an Auntie! After the shower, it was really hot out, so I decided to go buy the girls a small inflatable swimming pool. They LOVED it! It took me a while to blow up, and then fill up, but once I did, the girl were splish splashing about. With zero care that the water was freezing cold hose water. Brrrr. 
Then on Sunday, we spent a good part of the day at my in-laws house working on a quilt for my midwife Lisa. She delivered all 3 of my girls, and is having her 3rd girl in a few months herself. Unfortunatly she is leaving her practice in a week or so, and I won't be able to see her as my doctor anymore. :_( I am just very glad that I had her for all of my girls. She really became a friend during the 7 years I was a patient of hers. The quilt turned out beautifully, and I was able to give it to her on Tuesday at my fun lady appointment. She loved it, and I am very glad. Oh, and I haven't said anything about Miss Maddy riding her bicycle with OUT training wheels yet have I? Yup, I have a two wheelin babe now. She was so tickled with her self the other day when she finally balanced on those 2 skinny little wheels. What an acomplishment! Good Job Maddy! 
And finally here is a little clip of Peyton I took today of her laughing and playing. She is starting to move around ALOT! I don't think it will be to much longer before she is a scootin around the house! I took it with my little sony digital camera, not a camcorder, which is why it's pixly.. Hope everyone is well! (oh yeah, the girls are feeling MUCH better today. Whew!)

The Phone Call...
So, I got one today.. The dreaded daycare phone call...
"Hello, Stacey?", "Yes, this is Stacey." "Hi, this is Diane. Maddy just threw up her entire lunch." "OH Yay, I will be there in a few.."
Words cannot express how much I dislike kid vomit. Baby vomit is one thing, grown up vomit is another, but kid vomit is its own seperate entity. I think the worst part about it is, they can't seem to determine when they actually feel like they are going to throw up and 99% of the time its on the carpet, or the couch, or in bed. It's like they can't remember WHY they are holding a big plastic bowl! And, did you know that children really don't chew their food? NOPE, they don't. For those of you who read my blog who only have babies, just you wait. You will be here one day. And when you are, my heart goes out.
Must run now, more vomit to deal with as both my big girls are voiding themselves of their lunches in 2 different places. Will post later, after the ickiness has left the building. Chao.. Stace

Mothers Day
I had a wonderful Mothers Day! We started the day by going to church with both of our families to dedicate our little Peyton Leigh to the Lord. What a wonderful time that was! Our friend and Pastor, Bill Wertz did the dedication for us, and it was very special. Here is a picture of the 5 of us after the service.
After Peyton's dedication, we all went to Trav's parents house for a BBQ. It was a really nice time, spending Mothers day with both of our Moms! My Grandma Scott was there as well.
When we left the BBQ we headed home to change for a quick afternoon trip to the beach! We went to the outlet mall, where I found Peyton a bunch of new clothing that she desperatly needed! The little punchkin munchkin is growing so fast, that I can't seem to keep her in clothes that fit. I did really good too, getting her about 10 or so outfits, more if I were to mix n match for around $60! Yay for the Carters store! Then we headed out to the beach for some fun in the sand & semi-sun. The girls LOVED flying the kite & splashing in the water! Here are some pictures of them from our afternoon.
I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful family. My girls are so sweet & my husband, well, he is just awesome. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

Peyton is 5 months old!
Oh my, how can it be that almost a half year has gone by since Peyton's birth? I guess the old saying "Time flies when you're having fun" really is true! Lets see.. What is Peyton up to now... Well, she's rolling everywhere. She is just starting to get up on her knees, but when she's up on her knees, her face is in the carpet! So that's a negative on the crawling right now. But I imagine that will be coming in the next 2 months or so. She is the happiest baby, just so smiley all the time! She has found her feet too. They are almost always in her mouth if she is laying on the floor on her back. Which isn't often, because she prefers to be on her tummy. I have not started her on foods yet, but I will start introducing them to her on her 6 month birthday. She had her 1st taste of ice cream from our friend & pastor Bill the other day, and boy oh boy did she like it! She is being dedicated at church on Mothers day this coming weekend, with Bill doing the dedication. I am very happy that we get to do it on mothers day! What a blessing! I will post pics from that next week.
Otherwise, we are all doing great.. I am feeling just about normal again. Thank goodness! Mastitis really stunk. I missed almost an entire week of work. Maddy is almost done with kindergarten. I am going with her to the Enchanted Forest at the end of the month for her field trip there. We are both pretty excited. I have never been, so it will be new to me too! Alex is great.. I can tell she is trying really hard to be a good girl, but it's just really hard for her! Hopefully it will get easier to obey.. One of our new favorite sayings is, "you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit" Which seems to work, most of the time anyways..
Well, I am going to close with some pics of my fam.. Check back for updates! I am going to try to be better about posting. It's just my life is so hectic now that I am back to work.. Oh well, It is what it is..
