Abriee Jo....

Last week Abriee had a well child check up and she is doing good. She weighs 18 ilbs 3 oz which is very well, but she has actually gone down on the growth chart. When she had her 6 month checkup he was in the 50th percentile with weight and height and at 9 months she is in the 37th percentile. So we have to make sure she gets more to eat than just formula and baby food. Hopefully she will get back up when she foes in for here 1 year checkup. There is also a bump on the side of her eye and so she had to see the eye doctor this week to see what's up with that. Well it turns out she a dermoid cyst ( happens in the womb when the skull grows togther, skin gets caught in the skull so when it grows together the skins grows outward) Nothing really serious, but she does have to have it removed. So next Thursday (20th) she goes in to have it removed. It is only about 1/2 hour procedure and she will go home same day. They do have to put here totally asleep and hopefully she will do well with that when waking up.. It is just always scary when your little one has to go through things like that. Even though it is a safe proceedure, there is always something that could happen. So she just needs to grow a little more and get back on the charts!!!!

The inspector is out atthe house today so we will know for sure tomorrow what the deal is and when we will close for sure.. Still looks like we will be in our new house by the 29th of the month. Still running sround like chickend with our head cut off getting things signed, packing, Christmas, and doctors. What a crazy month. I will be happy when it is all done..

This is the picture when we took the kids to see Santa..Payton loves Santa!!

Fun in the snow...

These last few days Abriees been sick. She will sporadically throw up all over us and she just sleeps all day... On top of Abriee being sick I woke up this morning with Pink Eye.. What a thrill. So needless to say I didn't really feel up to dealing with a sick child in church so we stayed home... Ray decided that he need some air so while Abriee was taking a nap Ray took Payton outside to play in the snow... Payton looked so cute in his snow suit. He could barely walk with the big bulking suit on.. It was so funny..

Payotn before going outside!!!!

Payton making a snow angel!!! Attempt anyways!!

Payton playing outside trying to see with the huge snow suit on!!!

Not a very event full day and I should have been in church, but I was a slacker and stayed home.. One sick kid and one out of control kid equal headache and I already had a huge one!!!

Going, going and going..................

Last night we took the kids to see Santa. Payton hated it and cried the entire time and Abriee seemed okay with it until she looked at us and realized we were not near.. It was so funny. I guess we will try next year and see what happens.. My kids do not like Santa.. Earlier this week we finally got around to putting our tree up and decorating. The kids were not so much help as they had to get into everything and even breaking an ornament or two.. They finally found the Christmas stockings and that was fun enough for them.. They seemed to think that they were hats cause they put them on and thought they were so skilled.. But hey they are pretty cute eh???

Like I have stated in previous blogs we have decided to buy a house. We have been looking in the Ogden area and really only because it is cheap!!!! We like cheap.. I also like Ogden and had spent a couple years there going to school so I am okay with it. I know its kinda way out there but that's okay too.. So the past few weeks we have been looking at houses and driving back and forth is the pitts. Especially the gas prices.. Talk about a whole in your pocket!!! Finally after weeks of looking we have found one that we like. The owner wants it closed by the end of the month. So closing date is set for Dec. 27.. What a great Christmas gift for Ray and I.. Kids don't really care so that is a good thing as well. Hopefully things will go smooth and after Christmas we will be in our new house.. This is what the house looks like from the outside.. It come with 1/4 acre and is 3 bedroom 1 bath.. It is so stinking cute... We just hope all goes well..

I have been doing so much getting all the documents signed and faxed, the other day I was working with my printer. It is having major issues. Abriee was playing in here exersaucer and it got really quiet. I looked over and she was a sleep. She was so cute so I had to get a picture..

Pictures, pictures and more pictures

Today I took Payton and Abriee to Kiddie Kandids to have their pictures taken, but Payton would have nothing to do with it. The minute we walked in he started crying. I was sooo mad at him. We did get him to sit and take two pictures, but they were so ugly I just decided to have Abriees pictures done. And she is soooo stinkin' cute.. Here are what we had done...

I just can't get over how adorable she is... We have such a hard time getting her smile in the picture because she is so quick with her smiles it takes forever. For these 6 poses it took us almost and hour.... Crazy huh??? I was pretty disappointed that I couldn't get Payton to get his done. I wanted so bad to have them together.. Oh well maybe in a week or so.. But here are some of them that we had done about 2 weeks ago...

Abriee and I just hanging out..

Back to normal!!!!

Sorry that I have been out of commission for a while. The kids have finally gotten better and then I got sick.. I had done something to back and it killed to sit, stand,walk, and even sleep. My back has finally gotten better and now we are back to being somewhat normal again.. Then Thanksgiving was here and getting ready for that took time and I was just busy my blog has been the last thing on my mind.. I finally have a few minutes to myself so I thought that I would take the time to catch up..

No one has missed much anyway. Same old thing here at the Keel household.. Work for Ray and taking care of kids for me.. Abriee is finally getting around. She has started crawling but of course not the normal crawling.. She crawls like an army man. I call her Army Abriee cause of the crawling.. It is so funny but man is she fast.. Then she just rolls around the house and can get anywhere just by rolling. I have no idea how many times we have all stepped on her cause we will just turn around and she is there. You can't even hear her half the time.. Now I have two kids that get into anything and everything they are not supposed to!!! What fun!!

We are also trying to buy a house so all our spare time we have been looking at houses and we just can't seem to fine one that we like.. We are planning to move to Ogden so we are always driving up there to look. Hopefully we will find one this weekend when we go up to look.. I am just so excited to have a house to fit my family instead of this two bedroom apartment.. It is just not big enough for the four of us. The kids also need their own room.. That is all that we are doing and hopefully by the end of the month or first of the year we will be in a house.. I am so excited...Here are some pictures that we Had taken this weekend.. They are just so dang cute!!!

Crazy Weekend

So like I have said Payton had Croup on Wednesday. Well he never seemed to get any better and so on Saturday I had to take him to the ER cause he had a fever of 102 that wouldn't go down no matter what I did. So Saturday afternoon when spent the afternoon in the hospital trying to figure out what was wrong with him. He just cried and sat around the house. He wouldn't even sleep because of his fever. Well anyway it turned out that he was a little dehydrated and had a major ear infection. After he got some drug in him he felt better and is well on his way to being himself again...It is good to be back to reality..

Luckily Abriee hasn't gotten any worse. Just the everlasting cold that never goes away. Other than that she is her normal self. We are trying to get her to crawl and she is well on her way.. She is at the rocking stage where sh will rock back and forth on all fours.. Hopefully soon she will catch on and get it.. I really don;t know why I want her to crawl, but if she can get where she wants to go then she won't cry as much...

I stayed home Sunday with all my sick kids and lounge around the house... After a while I decided That I needed to get out of the house and so we decided to load the sick kids up in the van and go for a drive.. Along our drive we saw a nice kitchen table sitting by a house that had a free sign on it.. So we asked the people if it was really free and they said yes so we loaded it up and took it home.. Now I have a really nice wooden kitchen table with four matching chairs.. And it was FREE!!!!!!!!!!! I love free stuff...

I had been trying to get ready to go to Ohio this week for a funeral. I found out that my grandma has passed away on Friday.. So we had been rushing around to get things ready to leave on Sunday and trying to get the kids better.. So having to spend the day in the ER was a nightmare with all the stuff I had to get done.. Laundry being the biggest one.. Well we found out Saturday night that my Aunt had cremated grandma and so services were going to be on the next Saturday instead of Tuesday like originally thought. So then we didn't have to leave until Wednesday. I was glad.. Gave me time to get things ready.. Well then on Sunday night we found out the my Aunt just got tired of dealing with everything and was mad at everyone and people were mad at her so she just dumped the ashes somewhere and now its all done.. That just pisses me off!! What a jerk... No one even got to say goodbye or anything.. I was so mad and my mom is so upset.. I feel so bad for her and she has been upset for the whole weekend and I can't blame her.. Sorry , but I guess I just needed to get it out... Some people just really have no respect for anyone and only care about what is easier for them.. How hard is it to say services are on Thursday at 10:00 am. If you make it you do you don't you don't.. Oh well... There is not even a place to remember her by... I just hope everyone will get over and my Aunt is really happy with herself and she feels better. She has screwed everyone out of closer and their final goodbyes.. She wasn't the only child... I just get so mad when things like that happen..

Well that was my weekend!!! Crazy, sad, bad and all that stuff... Hope everyone else had a good better weekend than I did!!!

What crazy kids I have..

Like I said previously, my kids have been sick and finally I had to take him to the doctor. He has Croup and so i have been trying to get him over that. Abriee has that never ending cold that won't go away... On the upside Ray is better so I really only have 2 sick kids and that is way better than 2 kids and 1 husband!!!! I am just waiting for Abriee to catch this Croup. The doctor said that she will most likely get it as well because it is so very contagious. Hopefully she won't get it and hopefully they will get better soon. Lack of sleep is catching up with Payton being up all night. Croup is worse at night and he can't sleep with all the coughing he does...

I have got the 2 craziest kids ever.. They both do things that are so funny. especially Payton.. he really keeps out lives so up beat with all his crazy stunts he pulls.. Here is just a few.. Yesterday after I put Payton down for a nap I had to go get Abriee some socks.. I looked in Paytons crib and he wasn't there. I looked everywhere for him and I couldn't find him. Now he can't go too far because the room is not that big. I was started to freak out thinking that someone broke in through his window and took him.. Then I found him!!!

He was sleeping under Abriees crib like and angel.. He is crazy!!!! Needless to say he didn't sleep too long. i could only imagine that he couldn't;t have been that comfortable anyway.. Later on I put Abriee down. Payton was playing with the thermometer. he hates that thing when we actually have to use it so I let him play with it in hopes that when we do have use it he will be okay with it.. I looked over at him and this he where he had the thermometer!!!

I can't figure out how to rotate the picture.. But I think that you get the point..

Then Abriee was a sleep later on and I went to check to see if she was awake. She won't cry sometimes and I check on her so she doesn't stay in there for a long time. So when I checked on her this is how I found her...

Isn't she just the cutest thing ever!!!! With these two kids they keep us on the go and really keep our lives up beat.. I love them to death and enjoy my days at home with them most of the time!!!
