Our New Blog

I just wanted to let everyone know that I started a new blog. I decided that the title Miss Priss, although very fitting of Miss Kennedy, won't be very fitting of the upcoming addition to our family! So check us out....www.dyerdays.blogpot.com

Kennedy's Big Girl Room

I thought everyone might want to see Kennedy's big girl bed! We figured it was time to take her out of her toddler bed especially since it will also be her baby brother's crib. She really likes her new bed and enjoys jumping on it every night before bedtime (against mom's better judgement)!

Now I just have to find the time to get her baby brother's bedroom complete!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas (a little late)

Hope everyone had a great holiday season, we sure did! Now that Kennedy is older and understood Santa and presents, our Christmas was so much fun! We enjoyed watching her put out milk and cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve, he must have been awfully hungry because she insisted that he needed a whole stack of cookies!

Check out the bed head! Santa brought her a rocking chair and changing table for her babies, we almost need another room in our house just for her very own nursery items!

Christmas day was a great day spent hanging out at Gramma and Grampa's house. After opening presents the girls went for a drive in the backyard in their matching pajamas. Kennedy tried to teach Hollie how to drive her new 4-wheeler, but being the genius that Hollie is, she didn't even need any help! They really are so cute together, they are just like sisters (they even fight just like sisters!)

Christmas Angel

Kennedy was asked to participate in Aunt T's church Christmas pageant this past Sunday. Her acting part went really well this time as she portrayed an angel in the pageant! That is definitely no easy task for this busy 3 year old! Aunt T said she behaved very well but was very concerned as to why she couldn't play with the baby Jesus doll while they were on stage!

We think she made a really cute little angel. It has been really fun this year as she has been learning all about Christmas and the miracle of baby Jesus, we can't wait for Christmas day to get here, it seems to be more fun the older she gets!

Our little director...

What a crazy Christmas season this has been, between shopping, working, parties and programs, this month has flown by. It sure has been so much fun though!

Our little girl has been quite the actress (or shall I say director) lately. Her preschool does an annual Christmas program and she actually had a part this year! Each of the 3 year olds had a letter they wore around their neck that all together spelled out Merry Christmas. Along with each child's letter they each had a small phrase that went along with it. Kennedy was the letter H and we rehearsed her line for weeks to prepare for the program...H is for the hay that baby Jesus slept on. She had it down pat!

The program day arrives and she is dressed in her cutest Christmas pajamas (as all the children were)! The whole family arrives to watch her performance and we strategically sit three rows back in the dark audience hoping that we were close enough for good pictures but far enough back that K would not see us. Well that didn't work too well! As soon as she came out on stage she spotted me and jumped off the stage to come sit with us, so they were missing their H on stage. She then pretty much stole the show!! She ran to the front of the audience, stood by the teacher that was sitting on the floor coaching the other kids through their lines, and turned into the program director. She had her hands going and even yelled at one of the children to sing louder! I told you she was bossy! All in all it was really cute and we're thinking she might be a band director one day. We're actually aiming for a movie producer! Then maybe she could support dear old mom and dad!

Memories

It's amazing what happens when you finish a
very old roll of film, get it developed and
discover what is on it! I took K to a birthday pary last month and they had Jingles the clown as entertainment. It was sooo much fun, even for me and I'm most definitely not in the 3-5 age range!

She was very excited to get her face painted and I had to show you all the finished product!



Back to the film, I guess I had not used the camera in a really long time as there are Christmas pictures from last year on it! I included some pics over the last year and it just reminds me how fast she is growing up! Look at how small Hollie was!

24 Weeks and Counting

I figured it was time to update on baby Dyer #2! I am currently 24 weeks along and can't believe how fast time is going by! When I was pregnant with Kennedy I felt like it took forever and this time it is flying by. With the approaching holidays around the corner I know time is going to go by even faster. I guess when you have a demanding toddler to keep up with you don't have as much time to just sit and focus on being pregnant. It is kind of bittersweet as I feel as though I haven't had as much time to enjoy it and who knows if I'll ever get to do it again!

I am very excited about this little guy arriving, oh by the way,

did we tell you that it is a BOY! That's a whole other aspect that takes some getting used to. We are so used to pick and playing with dolls that I'm not quite sure what you are supposed to do with a boy! It will definitely be an adventure! The sonogram pictures that are in here are at 11 weeks and 19 weeks. I was supposed to get my 4D sono this week but the doctor's machine was broken so hopefully in two weeks I'll have a new picture!.

I am feeling well these days as I finally got over the awful headaches that I was experiencing daily, and I can't complain as I have only gained 6 pounds! Now we just have to concentrate on finding a name (we don't agree on anything) and finding some room in this overcrowded house for another person to live! It is amazing how much stuff a child uses and how much room that this stuff occupies!
