So Hailey is 20 months old and still uses a paci. Emma used one until she was 12 months old and we got rid of it. We decided to keep Hailey's for a little while longer due to flying to Washington for my brother-in-laws wedding. Helped with flying and we have just not gotten rid of it yet. I can't find her paci anywhere I have searched and searched. I guess tonight is as good as any to start. As I type this at 12:47 at night my sweet baby is in there crying her eyes out. Not sure how long this will last I remember that first week with Emma was horrible. We just had to let her cry it out. So here's to probably a long sleepless night. Maybe I will get a nap tomorrow.

No Fun With a Sick Toddler
Today started out awesome with family time this morning playing trains, dolls and cuddling watching cartoons. Rob is off today so that was nice. We got a lot one today and checked off the to do list. I was thinking we are going to have a great day. We layed Hailey down and Emma said she wanted to take a nap too so we were like okay sounds great right? Well she always wakes up grumpy from a nap so I don't usually let her take one. She didn't sleep much the night before so I was like fine. I decided to go to the gym and when I got back she was actually asleep. I started getting stuff done for dinner and she woke up. And that's when our happy day turned sour. Emma was burning up with a 102.4 fever. The highest fever she has ever had. Neither one of our girls will take medicine. They just usually spit it out. Rob was gone to the grocery store so I'm just trying to figure out how in the world am I going to hold this child down while keeping her sister away to give her some Tylenol. While getting her medicine ready she peed in the recliner so I run and grab a towel to clean it up only to find she has thrown up in the kitchen floor. Trying to keep Slash(our dog) and Hailey out of it and not throw up myself I hurry and clean that up. I've forgotten all about her peeing in the chair, ugh. What in the world. So finally Rob gets back home and neither girl will have anything to do with him they both want me to hold them. My main concern at the moment is to just get Emma to take her Tylenol. Great Rob can help me. Well not so much, He assumes because neither girl will have anything to do with him he is just going to start dinner. He asked me (while I'm laying Emma down trying to get Tylenol down her throat and Hailey trying to climb me) how many of these chicken legs do you want me to cook. Really, Really I could care less how many you cook I just give him a look like seriously I am over here trying to hold our daughter down to give her Tylenol she keeps spitting out and you want to know how many chicken legs I want you to cook. What I really wanted to say wasn't appropriate to say in front of our precious girls but I was like he's a man he just doesn't get it. So I get less than half a dose of Tylenol in Emma and she is finally loosing her fever. Thank you Jesus for that working. All I can do now is pray that she doesn't get it back and that she doesn't have the stomach bug. Also praying that Hailey doesn't get it. It's horrible when babies are sick and you can't do anything really to make it go away.
About my husband... He later apologized but I get it he is just being a guy I love him with all my heart and he loves me and our girls. He just didn't know what he could have done to help. At that moment though I wanted to just throw that chicken at him and tell him to forget about dinner.
The night ended on a sweet note. Emma seems to be feeling better and all three of my loves are in the bed. I'm soon to follow if I could just get sleepy enough.
On another good note I did get to go to the gym today I always feel so much better when I do go. And Emma did okay with the potty this morning. All a work in progress.

The Start of a New Year
I am new to blogging but wanted to start something new this year. Something to remind me of all the silly things we do each day. I'm sure not every post will be funny but the majority will.
I'll start by telling a little bit about me:
I am a mom of two precious, sweet, beautiful and spunky little girls named Emma and Hailey. Both have red hair and the temper to go with it:) They are so different and have their own little personalities.
Emma is my sweet, soft spoken, cautious, girly girl and so so funny three year old. We just celebrated her third birthday two days ago. She says the sweetest things every day. She LOVES makeup and nail polish. I think we may have to buy stock in it. She loves Mickey Mouse and Toy Story and her favorite movies are Barbie Princess and a Popstar, Madagascar, The Lorax, Tangled and Toy Story 3. I think I know the words to every movie by heart.
Hailey is my sweet, cuddly, spunky not scared of a thing 20 month old. Just today I had to get her off the dining room chandelier. She got up on the table and was hanging from it. She is not scared to climb anything. She makes me a nervous wreck and I pray every day that she doesn't get hurt. She loves making her sister chase her (usually by taking some toy she's playing with). Hailey loved playing in the play kitchen and with blocks and of course loving on her babies. She gives the sweetest hugs and kisses.
Rob is my most amazing, hardworking, strong and very quiet husband. I make up for his quietness, lol. He is a Firefighter and also works another part time job so I can be a stay at home mom to our two girls. I really don't know where I would be without him. Although neither of us are perfect and we have our moments I can't imagine life without him. He loves our girls so unconditional it makes my heart melt. He lets them do whatever they want. They have put makeup on him, painted his nails and toes and put hairbows in his hair. He plays Barbie and with their babies with them and never ever complains about it. I think its the sweetest thing.
A little bit about me other than being a mother and wife I have a love for cake creating. I started a year ago on January 7th decorating cakes. I took classes and became better and have started making cakes for family and friends. I have actually surprised myself with them because never in a million years would I have thought I would be able to create some of the cake I have. Who knows maybe one day I will have my own bakery. I love my family and my friends and enjoy spending time with them. I love to sing, dance and play outsided with the girls and love love love to craft with them.
That's probably enough for now I'll post later about todays events.
