Who's that girl?

Leave Kaylie alone upstairs for a few minutes... I'm hoping it was dark when she put this on because...

Totally doesn't match- all are cute when separate but not leaving the casa like this.

Sad and Thankful

I am a huge blogstalker... friends will send me blogs and I will always check in to see whats going on... but I was seriously drawn to 2 different blogs. One is this Family called the Wims (http://www.thewims.blogspot.com/). I don't know them but I feel like I do. I can't imagine how they are handling the day ins and day outs knowing that their rock, their dad/husband is so sick. This man is in his 30s and is battling cancer. I've been following his treatment for a while now and I always log in first thing in the morning to make sure he had a good nights rest and so did his wife. It angers me that someone with so much to offer this world, someone that is so young, with a beautiful wife and 2 adorable kids has to endure what he is... that his family has to watch him suffer the way that they do... it breaks my heart. I will say this though- his wife is so inspirational... she handles everything with such passion and she is so strong. She has this unbelievable faith in God and believes so strongly in the works on prayer. She's amazing!


Another blog that I recently came across is this one- http://www.half12.blogspot.com/- I found it on another blog I like to read and it just broke my heart. This mother had been blogging about her daughter Tuesday's battle with cancer. I just checked this morning and Tuesday died on the 30th... I just can't handle it. I don't even know this mother or this child... but it just makes me feel like I can't breath to think of a mother having to kiss her child for the last time, not being able to see her child again- it makes me sick.

The point is- be sure and hug your kids today... love on them, let them put nail polish all over their fingers and let them wear what they want... and watch them, treasure each moment. I can't even think about something happening to Emily or Kaylie- and I'm so thankful that they are both healthy and happy- that we are all healthy. I'm so very blessed to have all that I do. I am just so thankful.

Family Update...

Well its been a long time since I updated on whats been going on with the Fiedlers... here is the rundown on the last few weeks/month:

* We decided to move Kaylie to the Primrose school in our neighborhood (she is currently at a Primrose but the one in our hood)- this was a very hard decision for us to make (mainly me) because Kaylie has been going to our current Primrose for almost 4 years. We love love love her school- to put things in perspective, Kaylie was saying the pledge of allegiance by the time she was 2! We are about 7 months or so from Kaylie starting Kindergarten and we would have to move her anyways since her school is no where near our neighborhood. I made the commitment to move her by March 1st... same uniforms, same curriculum, different location. Kaylie will do TOTALLY fine at the new school -its me that I'm worried about. I FEAR CHANGE!!! And its getting worse as I get older! But The HUGE plus about her move is that I will save approx an hour in drive time a DAY!

* Emily started going to cheerleading/gymnastics every Wednesday in the Woodlands back in November. Steven drives out there every Wednesday after work, picks her up from her house and takes her to gym and then to eat and study. He loves this one on one time with Emily and they have so much fun together! In case any of you are wondering, the Woodlands is a little over an hour from our house... quite the treck but of course worth it to see her. Miss Emily always picks Taco Bell as the place to eat (definitely related to Steven... :))

* Kaylie started taking dance classes at Robins Dance School, a school close to our neighborhood. She is one of the oldest kids in the class and last week- several of the moms were telling me that Kaylie is totally cut out to be a dancer... she follows every step and really listens well to the teacher! She will have her recital in May so thats something to look forward to.

* Steven and I have just been hanging out, trying to get our house set up the way we want it with furniture, decor and all of that. We are huge bums these days- I think New Orleans really put us in a funk for the month!!! We're getting old!

* We've all been staying busy with school, work, birthday parties galore, the usual fun times around here. Kaylie's birthday is coming up (CAN YOU BELIEVE MY BABY WILL BE 5) so I'm already starting to think of ideas for that event!

Thats it for now... hope everyone is doing well, having a good 2009... keep checking in on us!

Little Crack Won't Hurt...

Anyone who knows my daughter Kaylie, knows that she is EVERYTHING girlie... she loves purses, shoes, accessories, you name it. She definitely did not get this from me. I think she actually has more shoes than me! I don't think- I know...
Anyways- getting back on track- after we ate dinner, she went to get her night clothes and lay them out, which she did on the kitchen floor. While she was laying out her night clothes, I looked over and noticed this...

It CRACKED me up!! HAHAHA! She's gonna kill me when she is older and can look back on this but I had to do it. My poor baby has no booty and is skinny as a rail (which she didn't get either of these traits from me either).

Enjoy your evening!

March with me...

I have decided to join the March for Babies 5k in April... and I've created a team. I believe strongly in the March of Dimes mission and would love nothing more than for each of you to join me in this cause!

Please join me in support of healthy babies!

Countdown is On...

We are leaving for New Orleans in 3 days to celebrate my friend Jenny Satterwhite's treck to her 30s! We can't wait... we need a little vacation and there isn't a better place to go than good ol' New Orleans with good friends!
I'll post pictures (unless we are doing something too stupid in them) when we get back. Kaylie will be with her Nana and Papaw for the weekend!!!! Fun for all to be had!

There Goes the Neigborhood...

My very good friend Latonia has just purchased a beautiful home down the street from us! We are SOOOO thrilled. I have been working and working to get her out to Sienna for the past, oh, 4 years! And now I've done it... mark one off of my to do list for 2009!
Kaylie is going to be so excited to have her friends Kennedy and Kaitlyn right down the street (literally, we could walk to each other if we wanted to).
