Another Little Video
Kaylee really wanted to play bowling on the Wii games, and do it herself! So in order to make her think she was doing it herself, I handed her the controller that was not being used, while someone else actually played the game. She LOVED it!

Videos & quick update.
This video is dark, but is so precious how Madison is singing to Lydia to keep her quiet!
So, Emma & Madison, can you cross your eyes?
Enjoy!
So while I'm on here, I'll give a quick update on the month of Nov....
Ummmm..... I don't remember much. LOL I bet you thought I was gone from here forever huh?
I do remember that Rob and Jason Blaylock did a revival in Pryor, OK and it was very refreshing. The Lord really blessed us. Now we are getting ready for a revival in Walnut Ridge, AR, where Rob, Aaron Cabales & Derek Hays will be holding the revival this weekend. We are looking forward to the spirit of the Lord falling and blessing all those that attend, so be there!
We had a good Thanksgiving where we shared it with Nick, Sherry, Sheyanne and Paul. That sure was some good food and the first time I'd ever had fried turkey! I think we'll have to invest in a cooker now, for it only takes about an hour to cook a big turkey and I can use my oven for other things that need to be cooked.
At the beginning of the month, we had family retreat and it was great to see my family there. I cherish each moment I have with them.
As far as the kids, well, they just keep me busy. They call Grammy and Papaw a lot on the cell phone and well now, Emma and Madison say, "I need my own phone so I can call MY people." LOL They are WAY too young for this right now. ha ha And they love taking pictures with a phone.
Lydia is growing. At her 2 month appointment, she was 13.1 lbs and 23 inches long. She's a fat little thing that is growing fast! She's 3 months old now and will really look at us and coo a lot. I love that! Somehow, it tickles my heart. :)
So that's my quick update. I'm looking forward to seeing my folks again for a few days after revival and letting Rob do some hunting while there. I'll save my hunt time for Christmas when it's open gun for 3 days. Well, I'm not sure if I can go or not, I'm still nursing and you know how demanding babies are when they are hungry!
Here's a few pictures that were just taken. Enjoy!
Lydia Grace~ Just love how she has her hands.
Trying to take a picture of a very hungry baby!
Look at that RED hair!

Kaylee now has her own toddler bed.
Oh, which reminds me...
Emma and Madison no longer sleep in their toddler beds in our room!!!! They now sleep in their big bed in their room! Wa-hoo!!! They still don't really like it, but they have no choice. hee hee. Meanwhile, Kaylee is loving her new bed that was her sissy's.

Sleeping well!

Oh Boy! I'm Behind! & a Few Pics.
First, our church had a youth night every Tuesday night in October. We have one school age youth coming to our church and she brought 5 with her the first night. 4 of them came back the next week along with 5 others!
On the 3rd week, there were 9, I believe, but we had 2 new ones. This was the first night Rob opened the altar for the kids to come and pray. He'd been talking about what weighs us down in life, spiritually, emotionally, and physically, and how it effects us. This night was about relationships and he focused on our relationship with Christ. The kids responded well. They were all in the altar, crying and pouring their hearts out to God. It was awesome! Once service was dismissed, the kids didn't' leave. They stayed, cried on one another and gave lots of hugs, so Rob talked a bit more. It was great.
The fourth night, we had a total of 17 kids there!!! Wow!!! Now, from our Oct. youth nights we have had about 6 young people coming to church for the past two weeks. Sherry and Sheyanne have worked hard at inviting and picking up the kids. Thanks Sherry for your hard work for the Lord!!! Someday, you will be rewarded with a great Heavenly reward!
The past week, I've been hard at work on a project we helped out with on Halloween night. The church we rent from decorates each classroom/office up as a different Candyland game board room such as Taffy Town and Gumball Glazier and Lollipop ?. It was really neat. I have a lot of pictures up on facebook. It's easier to upload pics there. Our room turned out really neat and we had a lot of fun decorating and passing out candy in a non scary place that was more interesting than my home could ever be. We had an opportunity to pass out a TON of church cards as nearly 1,000 people passed by. Amazing!
So, that pretty much sums up October. We are now getting ready to head for Family Camp this weekend and I'm looking forward to great fellowship and wonderful time in the Lord.
Enjoy a few pics.

Our gumball glacier (glazier is it's spelled in candyland)
It's decorated with gumballs! We also had a partial igloo made out of milk jugs, and our floor was cover with "snow" and "water with chunks of ice." Clouds hung from a blue ceiling. It was nice.

Our scripture and gumball cross.

The pastors wife, Regina and a youth from their church, Chad.
Some really nice people.
And I'm having issues with typing something under the last pic so....

Pictures
We've got into a pretty good routine for most days. The girls have been doing pre K and are doing great with writing and they love their computer work. Kaylee loves to draw and thinks she writes the letter E all the time as she shouts it out, "EEEEEE." Lydia still sleeps all the time. She's starting to smile after she wakes up and looks at whoever is staring her in the face.
Lydia is getting to be quiet the little chunky baby. She's getting more rolls on her all the time now. I think she's close to 11 1/2 lbs. She's such a good baby and doesn't cry, only when she's starving, so she thinks. I'm up a lot during the night, but occasionally, I'll get 4 hours of sleep in. She loves her sisters and doesn't fuss when they want to hold her. She's extremely happy in Emma's arms.
Kaylee loves the baby too and does very well with her. Anytime the baby does fuss, Kaylee comes running to me screaming, "Eeeeee (eat)!" I'll ask Kaylee, "Who needs to eat?" She'll yell at me, "Lay lay!" Yes, Lay lay is the baby's name to Kaylee. Another one of Kaylee's favorite things to help out with the baby is to grab the pacifier, hold it out to me and yell, "FIRE!" It's comical around here and enjoyable most of the time.
The girls love to help cook now. They help with breakfast most of the time and some days they help with dinner. Here's a picture of them helping their dad make us all egg sandwiches.
Here's some other pictures we took. We were going to try and get a family picture in, but a hungry baby and a sleepy 21 month old didn't make for a successful day. We just had to take what we could get. Wednesday, September 30, 2009
What A Goofball!
Yeah, that would be me! I sent mom off with the three kids to her house in AR and the camera went along with her! I'm so upset! It's been nearly 2 weeks since they've been gone and I'm not able to take any pictures of Lydia growing up and changing in looks!!!
Well, if in the near or far away future I want to know what she looked like at 3 weeks old, I'll just pull up a picture of Kaylee at that age. After all, she looks JUST LIKE KAYLEE! Even at that, I am very bummed. I suppose we need a backup camera for moments like these.
So as you can see, my girls and my mom is still not with us. Mom took them all the the Dr. on Wed. with the result all being a cough and runny nose and Kaylee is sporting an ear infection from the drainage. They are all still running a fever at night, therefore, is delaying my mother from driving the 6 hours by herself with the girls after being up throughout the night. For some reason, I know that feeling all to well. :) Right now, it's one day at a time rather or not they come back. If it's going to be much longer, Rob's gonna pack us up, go to AR and rescue all of them. :) He's getting pretty desperate when he considers sleeping with Shirty the bear (one of Madison's favorite bears).
We sure have enjoyed a clean house, little dishes to do, not much laundry right now, the floor throughout the entire house can be seen, toys are in their proper place... this must have been what is was like before having kids. :) But I think we are ready for the chaos to come back with all the noise and toys strung out throughout the house with a pile of laundry to do. Nothing can replace all those hugs and kiss, laughter and giggles, sweet kind-hearted comments from Emma and Madison like, "Mommy, that dress is so pretty on you. You look soooo pretty in that." Oh, and did I mention that nothing can replace that ornery little girl Kaylee who smiles and laughs with every ornery move? ~~~ I WANT MY KIDS BACK!~~~~ :) Hopefully soon.
Yesterday, I ventured out to the gym with Rob. Lydia was good in her seat while I walked for 20 minutes on the treadmill then attempted some squats and arm exercises. It felt good to do something other than sit around. I'm ready to get back into exercising regularly and get back in shape... good shape that is. :) You know, feeling healthy and being able to breath properly after going up 5 steps. :) I'm ready to attempt it anyway.
That's about it for now. Baby is calling....

Ice Skating Adventure
But we survived and all the ice skaters had a blast. Who knows, when Lydia gets a bit older, we may just attempt it again with all the winter gear on. I suppose you can say I'm a wimp when it comes to cold weather. :) All you that went to church with me in CO know exactly what I'm talking about... as I entered into the church with it 30 degrees outside and me all bundled up. :) Glad I could make you smile and bring laughter to your lives. :)
This week, my mom took the girls home with her to Mtn. View so I could attempt sleeping a little more during the day. It's worked a little, but it sure is quiet here and lonely during the day. I think Lydia misses her sisters. This morning, I've had to turn on cartoons just so that she would not cry. :) I believe she needs the noise.
She weighed in yesterday for her 2 week appointment at 8 lbs and 14 oz. She's gained 1 1/2 lbs since she's been home. She's doing real good.
I'm doing well after the c-section as well. This is the first time that I've actually felt really good less than 3 weeks after surgery. I thank God for a quick recovery. I'm still sore a little, but not in a lot of pain. My incision looks good all for one place where it's still trying to heal. It was stapled wrong and I'm having to dr. it a bit more but it's looking so much better now.
Rob is always sleepy. :) But he's also a huge help.
That's our update, so here are some pictures of the great cold event. Enjoy!

It's OFFICIAL!!! Baby Lydia is Here!!!
We left Amy's mom at the hospital with her and I brough the girls and my dad & mom home to eat and take a nap. After uploading some pictures we're heading back to the hospital. Amy's doing well....starting to feel some pain. She says she's been on the phone a lot and probably needs to rest. I'm posting a few pictures here. If you have facebook I posted the entire album and some videos under Amy's profile. Be back with some updates in awhile. Thank you all for your prayers.
The family ready to meet their new addition!!!

Lydia Grace Montgomery - only a few minutes old

A 10 Yr. Anniversary To Always Remember - Like Non Other!
Doesn't she look so sweet & innocent?
So at this point during the day, who cares what the girls look like. I take them over there all dirty just so we can leave. We left Rob home covered under 4 blankets and with the house already being at 85 degrees from cooking, he wanted the heater on too! I said no way! Poor guy!We made it the Adam's house and the girls got busy right away playing with all the kids outside. About an hour later, Katie was caring Madison in her arms and said that something was in her pants. Madison was holding her pant leg up by her thigh and was very concerned with whatever it was in her pants. I asked if it was biting her, she said no. I asked if it was hurting, she said no. She told me with a very concerned voice, "It just tickles me and it's wet!" So I proceeded to take her to the bathroom and pull her pants down. There I found something that was a bit large, light & dark brown in her pants but couldn't make out what it was from her still squeezing it. I'm sure I showed a bit of concern as I tried to pull her pants off, but before I could get her pants off, Madison let go and a frog jumped out of her pants! I was dying of laughter, opened the door and yelled... "I think we need Joe in here to catch a frog!" Sis. Tammi and Becki come to inspect as I told them what happened in the midst of my laughter. Sis. Tammi says, "So does this mean there's a frog in my house?" LOL "YES, it does!" So off they go to get Sam and their camera's while I pull Madison's pants up. I'm sure Becki will post the picture when she's able to.
That sure was a good way to top off our anniversary. I did manage to get a nice massage from Sis. Tammi's foreign Japanese massage chair and it was nice visiting with the Horne family as they passed by.
I sure don't want a repeat of that day, but it is definitely an anniversary that we'll always remember. I have this strong feeling, that with Kaylee being a part of our family, we'll have many more of these types of memories to come. She's not even 2 yet!!!
The girls this morning waiting on their pancakes.

Update...
I've been staying busy with the girls. Kaylee is always into something and today, she hooked herself with a fishing pole hook right in the elbow. I had to cut the hook off the pole with wire pliers and then she calmed down a lot. It had to be painful. I really thought we were gonna have to take her to the ER, but after setting her up on the table to exam it and looking to see how deep it was, I grabbed the end of the hook and it came right out of her arm! Thank you Lord!
Our 10 year anniversary is tomorrow. I can't believe it's been that long. I forgot about it until just now and now it's too late to go out and get a card for Rob. He came down sick yesterday, and tonight he's feeling rough again. I'm pretty sure going out to eat is out of the question. Maybe we can squeeze in a day next week after he's feeling better before baby comes and we can get a babysitter that's not sick as well. :)
I sure did cook some yummy homemade chicken noodle soup today and didn't even have a recipe for it. I've put 6 quarts up for a later time to eat for just after baby is born to make our lives easier around here.
That's about it for now. Got a kid wanting a donut now. :) Have a good day.

Camping Trip

The Weekend, Gardening, & the Dr.
So gardening, our garden... WELL.... it's producing... some. We are getting enough okra to feed us a good helping about every other day. I LOVE okra. The tomato plants and the corn did nothing for us, but provided the bugs with some good eating. Our one little cucumber plant that survived has produced us some really good cucumbers, about 6 large ones and we have some small one on there, but I'm not sure how they will do. And our squash plants.... WELL.... they turned into what we thought was watermelons, and then the watermelons turned into cantaloupe and cantaloupe is what is really is. :)
I picked the first cantaloupe today, cut it up and tried it and it's not bad. I've had sweeter cantaloupe, but it still has a good flavor. We have another one about ready to pick and a few more that are growing still.
At least this garden did much better than last years garden which was a complete flop!
And my Dr... he doesn't think I'll have this baby on my own and was highly suggesting another c-section again. My desire has been to have this baby naturally so I can hold it just after delivery. I have some good things going for me, like measuring much smaller than what I was measuring with Kaylee. My sugars have been under control which I believe is a huge part of why I'm not as large. I'm not even swelling like I did with Kaylee, BUT... I'm almost 37 weeks and I've not dilated at all. I'm praying, and have been praying, that God would allow me to have this baby without a c-section. Anyone who would pray with me, please do so.
My hip is in a lot of pain and has been for over 2 months now. The farther along I get, the worse it is. That's really my only complaint which I'm very thankful for. But it's so bad at times that I sometimes just want to say I give in and go for the c-section. ????
So, I suppose that's about it for now. I best get back to getting the clothes prepared for Lydia's arrival, clean up Kaylee's room, make room for something to store the clothes in and pack away all the toys that are in the floor that never are played with, they are just taking up floor space for me trip over. :) Have a good day folks!
