Almost September

Cannot believe that it will be September tomorrow!!  So crazy that the year is whizzing by!! 

Tatum had another great day at dance class on Monday.  She just smiles non-stop the whole time she is in there.  She listens so well and catches on quickly.  So glad she is loving it.  She is sad that she won't have dance class next week because of Labor Day, so guess we will have to have a little dance class at home, haha.

I guess at school they are teaching the kids to count in Spanish.  We had no clue Tatum was even learning this.  Then last night we were just sitting around and all of the sudden Tatum started counting in Spanish.  It was the cutest thing she was so cute when she was going it!!  She can count up to 8.  Check her out!!

I took Camdyn to the Otolaryngologist  (fancy name for ear, nose, throat doctor) on Friday because she has already had 4 ear infections, which are causing her eye infections.  We saw Dr. McKenna, who was absolutely awesome!!  He said Camdyn is currently not in good shape regarding her ears because she is so young and has had so many ear infections, it is not the time of year that she should be getting ear infections - so when winter comes it could get nasty, and she has genetics working against her because I had ear troubles also.  So long story short she is getting tubes put in her ears tomorrow morning.  It is going to be a very quick surgery.  Dr. McKenna said it takes 4 minutes per ear and we won't be apart from her for more than 20-30 minutes.  Camdyn can't eat for 8 hours before the surgery so that is going to be hard.  We figure we will give her a big meal about 11 or so and hope that will tide her over until she can eat after her surgery.  Keep her in your thoughts tomorrow morning!!

I just have to add in here that we honestly have THE ABSOLUTE BEST pediatrician on the planet.  Dr. Barnes-Clark is so AMAZING!!  Camdyn has a bad rash and I had called the doctors office Monday morning and spoke with the nurse and they told me she probably has the rash from taking her antibiotic and they told me to get some over the counter cream and put it on her.  We did...... Anyway.......  Last night it was absolutely awful and we were super worried about her.  So we took a picture of the rash and sent a text to our doctor (she had given us her cell phone number because we seem to need her alot, haha).  Within 5 minutes she was texting me back and she called us in a perscription for Cam right away.  Last night Camdyn slept the whole night and finally the rash is getting better already.  It is so great knowing that the girls doctor is always there for us.  She is so caring and she actually remembers my kids.  After we got the perscription all figured out she was checking in on Camdyns ears and asking what Dr. McKenna had said.  She is just the best ever.  So if anyone wants an AWESOME pediatrician for the kids go to her.  You will be soooooo glad that you made that choice :).

Hope you have a most wonderful day!!!!

Tatum's First Dance Class


Tatum just got home from her very first dance class.  She was so awesome and had so much fun. She had the biggest smile on her face the entire time.  Honestly so did I, I was so proud of her.  Tatum did so great and listened so well.  She followed exactly what her teach did and Loved it. 



Her teachers name is Mrs. Peggy and there are 7 kids in her class right now.  They started off the class in their tap shoes at the bar doing some toe tapping and shuffling.  They came out to the center next and did a little dance to 'Animal Crackers in my Soup'.  .


Then they put their ballet shoes on and did some stretching.  Then it was time for tumbling (somersaults and trampoline jumping).  The class finished out with some crawling across the mat and hoping and jumping. 


It was so awesome to watch her and so fun to be back at Dance Connection 2.  It has been 10 years  since I have been at that studio and it was so great walking back in there.  Even though its in a different place and so much has changed.  I hope Tatum wants to dance there for the next 15 years :) :)

I hope Tatum continues to love going to dance and enjoys it every week.  I think she defintely will go back because she got a sucker at the end of class :).  And she was the first one to get her sucker because she was the best listener of the day.  Not that I am bragging or anything ;)

Camdyn's Baptism

Today was a big day for Camdyn, she was baptised this morning.  We are so proud of her and she did an awesome job during it.  Camdyn's Godparents are her Aunt Emma and Uncle Andrew and we are so thankful they are up to the task and Camdyn is so very lucky they both will always be here to guide her!!

Camdyn was a bit fussy while Pastor Roger was talking but as soon as she started getting the water on her head she was immediately soothed and was paying great attention to all that was going on.  We were surrounded by our family and it was wonderful knowing how many people Camdyn has to support and stand up for her. 

We had a great day at church and then had the family over for a Baptism Celebration at our house.  It was a wonderful day and we are feeling so BLESSED!!!!

So proud of our Baby girl

Baking Cakes on Family Day!!

Saturday we spent some time baking a cake for Camdyn's baptism.  The girls and I had so much fun baking and the cake turned out super yummy.  This was the first time that Tatum cracked an egg and didn't get any shell in the bowl (so I didn't have to go fishing for it).  I was so proud of her, she is becoming quite the baker!!  Camdyn helped up by holding the measuring cup and playing legos :)

Camdyn Breeze is 6 Months

Our little Camdyn Breeze is growing up so super fast.  Cannot believe she is already 6 months old!!  She is growing like a weed and is such a happy baby.

Camdyn Breeze Kahler - 6 Months Old

Camdyn had her 6 month check up yesterday - She is 17.4 pounds and 26 inches.  So she is a little bit above average for both height and weight.  Cam did great with her vaccinations and was so very brave.

But of course Camdyn is still sick.  She has another ear infection and a sinus infection which are both backing up and causing her eye infection.  So we are putting her on a stronger set of antibiotics for 20 days in the hopes that we can clear out all the bacteria that is holding on in there.  We are really hoping that this medicine works and gets her back to healthy.  Good thing is she is completely happy even though she might not be feeling too hot.  We have another doc appointment in 2 weeks to check up and see how she is doing.  Think healthy thoughts for our baby girl!!

Cam is growing great and eating like a champ.  She is almost all the way through the food I made her a few weeks ago, so I will be making another batch of food for the freezer this weekend.  Gonna go to my favorite baby food site and see what new things she can be eating now!! (http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/)  Gotta make sure she has a good variety and doesn't get bored with anything.  She really is much more adventurous than Tatum was so I gotta keep it new and exciting for her :)

We just have so much fun every day after we get home.  It is so great to watch our girls play and laugh together.  It is wonderful having a house that is so full of Love and Laughter. 

Check out this video of Camdyn laughing at her big sister Tatum.  They are too cute!!

San Diego

We had a wonderful trip to San Diego this weekend.  We spent a day at Sea World and a day at the Beach.  It was so fun to get away for the weekend and enjoy some family time. 

Tatum had a BLAST at Sea World.  She was so excited to see all the animals.  She was most excited to see Shamu.  So of course she fell asleep before that show started and missed the whole thing, haha.  She woke up when we were leaving the Shamu Stadium though and got to see him swimming around for a little bit.  Camdyn was much more alert this time while we were at Sea World.  She seemed to enjoy herself also.  I think she just liked being out and about in the fresh air.

Camdyn all ready for Sea World.

We also got a little bit of pool time in.  It was a little bit too cold for Cam to go swimming but Tatum had some fun splashing around.  

Bathing Beauties

We spent a whole day at the beach and it was so much fun.  Tatum absolutely loved splashing in the shallow water and building sand castles.  Camdyn slept most of the time there, but I did take her down for a bit of time playing in the sand.  It was so funny to watch Tatum run away from the water.  Our girls are just the CUTEST!! {I say that a lot I know, but really it is the truth :) }

We just had so much fun this weekend and we are so lucky that we were able to take time and take our girls with the family for a fun getaway.  Both of the girls were so very good this weekend and I am so very proud of them both.
