Gymnastics, Sleeping, Biggest Loser, Station 15 and other new Sharp News...

Well, here are some Sharp Family updates in no particular order...

Kaci slept from 10:45pm until 5 am last night! That is a whole 6 hours & 15 minutes, and for us, that was WONDERFUL!!! It may have been in her swing (which we have resorted to putting in out room at night) but oh well, it was the best night sleep Ihave had in over 7 weeks!!!

Mackenzie started gymnastics a few weeks back, I think that today was actually her 4th class. She is in the Walkers-2yr old class and LOVES it! She walks on the balance beam, swings on the bars, crawls over the mats and her favorite is the trampoline...she is a WILD CHILD!!! No fear at all!

Ryan has been at Station 15 for about a month now. It is at 43rd Avenue and Camelback and he is getting plenty of action. He used to get a break when he went to work and get a full night sleep. Not anymore! He is up and down all night like me. He really likes having a spot for now and not having to move is bedding ad gear every shift!

We have The Biggest Loser Competition (Season 2) going on right now. Myself, and 10 other family and friends are in a 10 week competition to lose weight. There was a small buy-in fee and we weigh in every week and the person who loses the biggest percentage of weight in 10 weeks will win the prize money (and the weight). If you have seen the show, it is a lot like that but we don't vote anyone off every week...we are nicer than that! So far so good, so hopefully by June 20th all my baby weight and more will be gone!

Thank you, Wall, Please, Door, Step up, Kaci, No, More, Bologna, Apple, Nama, Bug, Dog, Papa, Uncle, Diaper, Poo-Poo, Pee-Pee, Ooh-WOW, Remote, Morning.....just a few of the new and not-so-new words that Mackenzie uses on a regular basis. She has become very talkative and REPETATIVE, so we must of course watch what we say! She also has a clear understanding of YES and NO and has no problem telling you what her opinion is on EVERYTHING!

We have started back to church in the last month or so and Mackenzie really likes it. SHe loves to go to Sunday School and play with the kids. So far, Kaci has slept through the service everytime so both Ryan and I were able to enjoy it. We are attending CCV and will start the Membership classes the next time they are offered!

Upcoming Events:
Kaci's 2 month check-up
Mackenzie's Swim Lessons
Jen & Ryan go to Jimmy Buffett

New Photos of Kaci

Here are a few new photo's...sleeping beauty! Kaci is doing well, she was 9lb. 4 oz at her 1 month check and everything is great!

Why you NEVER leave a toddler alone to eat....

I swear she was only unsupervised for a few minutes when I was feeding Kaci and I was only 20 feet away. Mackenzie had pizza and chocolate pudding for dinner, she ate the pizza and WORE the pudding! She had a bath about 30 minutes before dinner and then this happened. Needless to say, we had a second bath for the night! What a mess, mommy learned her lesson....

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter yesterday! Daddy had to work unfortunatly so we went over to Nama & Papa's house for Lunch and an Easter egg hunt. Mackenzie LOVED finding the eggs. She conned Uncle Chris into hiding them over and over and over again...he was such a good sport! After the egg hunt, lunch and a nap (I even got to take one!) we went over to Grandpa Rick's house for dinner. Mackenzie & Kaci got more Easter presents and Kenz got to hunt for more eggs that Grandpa had hid for her. I thought Mackenzie would be tired of Easter by the end of the day but even as I was putting her to bed she was still asking "Where's eggs?" and saying "Happy Eee-Tah". Kaci of course slept through the majority of the day but looked just as cute in her Easter dress!

And here are some pictures from Egg Dying the night before...

KACI LEIGH SHARP

Kaci is here! She arrived on Monday, March 16th 2009 @ 7:59pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 11oz and was 20 in. long. I had a very short and easy labor...luckily! We got to the hospital at 4:30pm and my doctor broke my water at 5:30pm. By 6:30pm I got my epidural and at 7:30pm I was dilated to a 10 and ready to push! I had to hold off until the doctor got there and after one (very small) push she arrived! It was much easier this time around! She is healthy and beautiful and we are home. Mackenzie loves her. She wanted to give her lots of kisses...and her apple juice & goldfish (at least she's sharing!) We are adjusting to the no sleep that comes with a newborn and double duty of two little ones. She is a great baby though, very quiet and a great eater. I've included a few pictures, more to come I promise!

Mackenzie's 1st Birthday

I wanted to add a few pictures from Mackenzie's First Birthday. We had a party for her at Grammy & Papa's house and everyone was there. She got TONS of new clothes and toys! I still can't believe she is already One!

Kaci Leigh is almost here!

So, it has been forever since I updated this...we obviously found out that we are getting another little girl in the family! She is due March 24th but has been trying to show up early. I was on bedrest from about 34-37 weeks because I was having so many contractions. I have been dilated to a 3 for 2 weeks now and hopefully at my appointment Monday we can speed things along. We are very anxious to meet her! I will be sure to post details when we have them...and pictures of course.
