Its been a while!

I will have to admit its been a little crazy in the house of the Daggs'. But I did not realize that its been over 2 months since I have blogged!

So here's an update.

McGuire:

He's now 4 and 4 months old, I can't believe it. He has grown up so fast, accomplished so many great things. We just turned in his paperwork for Pre-school for Midway Elementary! He keeps asking me when he gets to go. Only 5 months until its time to get on the yellow bus and head to school. That will be a very emotional day. We are slowly preparing for it, we practice the ABC's at least twice a day, learning all the shapes and colors under the sun, and we even have converstions about whats past the sun! He's getting to be a very intelligent young boy, and its great!

McKinlee:

She's now 5 months old and is rolling EVERYWHERE she possibly can, until she gets stuck anyway. She's figured out that if she screams long and loud enough, her daddy will be right there to her rescue. we've now overcome croupe, a nasty cold, and ear/sinus infection. She has figured out how to reach and grab things and take them to her mouth for teething comfort. Next step is to start cereal and baby food. Instead of trying to sit up on her own she would rather try and stand. She is soooo close to crawling, just coordination with arms and legs... then she'll be mobile.

Family:

Taylor is starting  outdoor motorcross season, which means a busy summer for us and alot of traveling. McGuire is going to be getting a bike here pretty soon and start racing as well (once we get balance going)
Since the season is coming up we are getting fit for it. I myself just trying to get the baby weight off (which is a lot) and he just needs to strengthen.

My weight loss goal is 40 lbs. I know its alot but very possible. I weighed 148 when I got pregnant. I now weigh 164 lb. 16lbs is really the only gain that I have left to lose, but to get back to my pre-pre baby body. 40 lbs.... Its going to be a slow and miserable time but it will be well worth it! Diet is the first part- I removed carbonation from my diet ( TOUGH) next is to not eat as much fast food and/or deep fried foods!

I hope I will have some good progress to report!

Hope all is well with everyone!

And let 2013 begin!

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! I know we sure did, now back to real life every day deals.

Christmas was great for us! Taylor had the week off from Christmas to new Years so it was wonderful to have him home with us and be able to spend family time together!

At Bungalow Boutique they have these adorable hats for kids, and I am obsessed over them so I had my mom in-law get one for each of my kids. McKinlee was the only one who would let me take a pic of her with it on. McGuire was in one of his moods again (see previous post)

Bell/ Curious George, our elf on the shelf, had to say his good bye to McGuire with a nice little gift - angry birds pj's to keep him warm during the cold night and to help him sleep while Santa visited our home that night.

I tried being mommy homemaker and baked some delicious sounding choc chip cookies for Santa.. Yeah the recipe is wrong- not enough flour and my cookies were one big burnt cookie! So Santa didn't get any cookies this year.

As the new year was rolling in, one thing after another had to go wrong. I mean it always comes in three's so I guess I should have seen this coming. We noticed that I had a flat tire from traveling from a Christmas party in Logan, luckily it was flat the morning after the party. That night McGuire had to be his clumsy self (He's definitely my child) and ran into the wall down stairs.. By the screech in his cry I knew something was serious. He had bit Thur and Thur his bottom lip, and also the inside of he mouth. So a trip to the ER was where we went. After a 2 hour wait, sedation and 6 stitches later we were home at 1:30 am New Years Eve, I had to call into work that morning- McGuire was still high as a kite asking for Santa and saying I had 4 eyes. That night Taylor had the worst stomach flu I have ever seen in my life. By the time I got into my bed after playing nurse mommy it was 2:30 am Jan 1st... Happy new year- Thanks 2012 for the Grand Finale!

This is McGuire High as a kite!!
