Creepy!

Something kind of creepy happened to me the other day. We like to rent movies from Redbox often (not sure if they have them in Texas, but it's a vending machine with movies you can rent for a dollar and they have one at our grocery store). Anyway, last Saturday night I went up there to get a movie for us to watch that night. There was a guy waiting behind me and I felt bad because I didn't know what movie I wanted and was trying to scroll through to find one so he wasn't having to wait too long on me. Well, he started talking to me and asked if I lifted weights and I thought that was odd but I told him I do a little and he told me he does too. So he was just talking small talk to me and mentioned that he had a 6 week baby and I told him I just had a baby too-he looked like a totally normal guy-no big deal. I'm so naive half the time and just talk to people without thinking much about it. Well, I had to punch in Leland's email address to rent the movie because it's under his email account. So I got the movie and was off. Well, a few days later, Leland gets this email from someone that says something like this: Hey there fellow Redbox user. I hope you don't mind the email, I was just thinking about you the other night and wanted to say howdy. I hope you're doing well. Have a good workout....
Oh my gosh! That guy totally looked over my shoulder and memorized the email I punched in, which was my husband's by the way! Can you believe the nerve???! And he created a new account that was something like fit.friend.com. Leland was going to send him back an email to pretend like he was me and bait him somehow, but I told him to just tell him to buzz off. He hasn't emailed him back yet. What a weirdo! And he told me he just had a baby-if that's really true-I feel sorry for his poor wife!
Anyway, lesson learned. Don't trust anybody. It's so sad that you can't even really be friendly to people anymore without wondering if they're up to no good.

Poor Sadie

I think we've spent more money on vet visits with Sadie in the last year of her life than we've spent on our own medical bills! Poor Sadie has allergies. We don't know what's causing them, whether it's food or seasonal. But she is constantly scratching and sometimes to the point she her skin is raw and bleeding. Here's our daily routine we have to do with her now.

1. Benedryl 3 times a day (just shoving it in the back of her throat which is so fun)

2. Cleaning her ears out with a medicated cleanser every other day

3. Putting some antibiotic ear drops in her left ear daily

4. And putting vasaline on a growth on her ear

Uggh! She's more work than Kate! And she hates having her ears messed with which makes it that much harder. Oh well, we love her and will do what's best for her.

3 months

(Ready to go to church)

Our little Kate is 3 months now. I'm not sure if I'm suppose to go by weeks or the date. If you go by the date, she's not 3 months until March 17th, but she is 12 weeks tomorrow. Anyway, here's just a few new pictures of Kate. We have a new camera now and I plan on taking some video of her with it soon. Yea!





(smiling at Daddy)

Things Kate is doing at 3 months:

-batting at her toys when she's laying on her play gym (not sure if this is purposeful or not)

-babbling and cooing when we talk to her

-smiling all the time-especially in the mornings when I go to get her out of bed and she's happy to see me (so sweet!) or when I sing to her-she loves that!

-looking all around at her surroundings and wondering what this crazy world is she is living in

-laying on her tummy and lifting her head and chest off the floor-not quite doing a push up yet

-watching Sadie when she is in her line of vision

-saving for college!

I can't wait to see who are little one is going to grow up to be, but I am really enjoying each phase and stage she goes through. God has really blessed us with a beautiful sweet baby girl!

Texas Trip

We took a trip home to Texas this past weekend and got to see all the family. Sorry if I didn't tell you we were coming-it was such a short trip I knew we wouldn't have time to see everyone, but hopefully next time we will. Kate did awesome on her first trip away from home. She slept during the flight both times and was great in the car too on the way to Clifton and back to Dallas. She was a lot of fun this weekend-she's really cooing and talking a lot now and smiling all the time. It's been so much fun watching her grow!

My brother Kyle had a baby 5 weeks after Kate was born so the two cousins got to meet each other this weekend. We had fun taking lots of pictures of them together.

The Wells family. Kate just got done eating and looks like she was in a milk-drunken stupor. Ha!

I think Kate was crushing Pierce!

We laughed so hard taking these pictures. They kept falling over on top of each other.

We had such a good time going home and seeing family. It was hard to leave on Sunday but hopefully we will be able to come back again soon.
