Please Vote for Carlie

I'm copying this from BBC because I've already written it a few times and it keeps getting eaten! lol!

Let me start by saying that I've never entered my kids into any kind of contest like this and I've never tried to solicit votes, this is just really important to me!

My daughter Carlie was recently diagnosed with ADHD. She has been having some problems with self esteem and thinking that no one likes her. This awesome local photographer is doing a photo contest so I decided to enter Carlie into it in hopes that if she won, it would maybe boost her self esteem a little to know that she won her family a photo shoot. She has no idea that I entered her in case she doesn't win. This photographer is amazing. She did my sister family pictures. I'm not sure exactly what the prize is but I think it's a $500 photo package of some sort. All you have to do is become a fan of Meagan Jackson Photography on Facebook, then go to "Sweet Little Faces Entries", and then under her picture, write "vote" in a comment. She is the 3rd picture. She has blonde hair and is wearing a red dress with her chin in her hands. Her name is in the caption. It seriously only takes 30 seconds to become a fan and vote. You can only vote once per person. She is in 3rd place right now. The first place cutie has about 35 more votes than she does. Voting doesn't end until Dec. 6th. Thank you so much and I appreciate and votes that she can get!!!

Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Wordless Wednesday

They're here!!!

I kept my nephew Trae Saturday night since we went to the fair. Sunday morning Liz called me to see when I was bringing him home and said she was having contractions. She started crying through them while on the phone so I told her she might want to go to L&D to have them check her. She was only 33 wks 4 days. She called me a couple hours later and said that they checked her and she was 5cm dilated! I grabbed Trae and told Rick that I was heading to the hospital and I was leaving the girls with him. We got there and they were already prepping her for the c-section. About 2 hours after getting to the hospital, Kerrigan and Aimslee were here!!! Kerrigan weighed 5lb 2oz and Aimslee weighed 5lb 1 oz. Both were 17 1/2 in. They had to be put on oxygen and a feeding tube but other than that, they were perfect! They are now less than 72 hours and both are off of oxygen and the only thing they're connected to are feeding tubes. They were going to let Kerrigan try and nurse yesterday but they were scared to push her too hard. The doctor thinks that both girls have reflux and Aimslee is having a little trouble digesting her food properly. Liz finally got to hold them both yesterday for the first time. They are so tiny and adorable and I can't wait until I get to see them face to face and hold them!

Jacelyn's Haircut

Jacelyn got her first "real" haircut Saturday afternoon. She had a trim a few weeks ago but she wanted more cut off. I decided to try my hand at cosmetology and started chopping. I think it turned out pretty good! lol.

The only good "before" pic I could find. It's from May.

All the hair I cut off my baby!

"After!"

The Fair

Saturday I took Jacelyn and Trae to the county Fair. They had so much fun!!!

They are in the second cart.

Where to begin...

I'm going to break all of these up into several posts so lookout! lol.

The weekend before last was my sister Liz's baby shower. She is pregnant with identical twin girls, Kerrigan and Aimslee. I was a hostess along with my older sister Cara, and a friend Kristine. I was so happy with how it turned out. The guests were so generous with their gifts and I know it meant a lot to her. She has a 5 year old son so she didn't have anything for the babies.

Edited: I forgot to mention that Jacelyn not only poked her finger in the middle of the cake, she also decided that she didn't like the taste of it, tried to spit it out, started gagging, and then threw up all over the place that the table where people were eating. Didn't get a picture of that, sorry!

The onesies I made. They each had their name and a removable tutu!

Opening the blankets that I made them.
