Avery is 5 weeks

Nap Time

Even though Paisley hates nap time, it's obvious she still needs them! I went up stairs to feed Avery and when I came down to check on Paisley this is what I found, her curled up on the floor asleep. I wasn't about to disturb her because if you know Paisley in a bad mood it was best to just let her be:)

Halloween.....Finally!

Well three weeks late I have finally decided to post our Halloween pictures. For Halloween this year we just went to my moms and around our house to trick or treat, plenty of candy for a 2 year old(and her dad) Paisley was the cutest dalmatian puppy, she was so excited to get dressed up and get her puppy ears on. Avery being 1 week old and not caring about Halloween was dressed as a ballerina.

Avery is here!

Avery Hendricksen was born Oct. 24th at 10:55am. She weighs 8 lbs 5 oz and is 21 inches long! I know BIG baby right? She looks exactly like Tyler, not even a trace of me in her. At times I see a little bit of Paisley, but for the most part she looks like her dad. So far she is a very good baby and needs to be waken up to eat. Paisley struggles at times having to share the spotlight, but for the most part loves baby avie(as pais says it) We love her and are excited to have her!

My little artist

Lately Paisley has been into coloring, so the other day we went to target and I decided to let her pick out a few coloring books and some markers. Ever since that day all she wants to do is color, well I never noticed until the other day how well she colors! Most pictures I see her bring home from nursery are just scribbles, but in the coloring books she manages to stay inside the lines quite well, something I never knew a 2 year old was even aware of and I have never showed her how to color in the lines, do I have an artist on my hands?

Baby Update

I went to the doctor yesterday for my check-up, all is well and I will be induced on Fri. Oct. 24th! I am dilated to a 2 and 50% effaced, I am not to thrilled about that because Tyler is out of town for work and is only able to come home on the weekends and my mom is leaving for Florida tomorrow for a week, so I will probably have her next week while they are both gone! I don't think Paisley would make much of a birthing coach:)

Scentsy Open House!

I will be having a scentsy open house on Thurs. Sept. 25th between the hours of 6:30-8:30pm at my sister's house. If you would like to come please leave me your email address in the comments and I will give you her address! If you cannot make it but would still like to order, contact me and I will get you a catalog. I will be placing the order this weekend!

Come smell the new Fall/ Winter scents and see the new warmers! And see the newest thing to scentsy.....Mini Warmers!!!

Hunting Season (sigh)

Well it's that time of year again and as usual I had my hopes up for no success, but I was wrong!

He is pretty excited about getting it, especially since it was the bow hunt. We have lots of deer meat, that I won't be eating. He cut it all up himself, I was pretty impressed and Paisley I'm sure was horrified at the sight of it, but she keeps asking Tyler when we are going to eat deer meat. When they do eat it I will be having something else.....

Camping at Starvation

We went camping this past week with Tyler's family to starvation. It was our first and only camping trip this summer, but it was fun. Paisley enjoyed camping, pretty much anything to do with outside she enjoys. We couldn't stop laughing at her the entire time, she was quite the entertainment. Her favorite thing was to throw rocks in the water and dig in the sand. Tyler's mom taught her a song every time she threw rocks in the water.....she sang, "plop, plop fizz, fizz oh what a relief it is" It was hilarious. She even went tubing, she definitely took after Tyler liking the water so much, because I sure don't! Maybe someday someone will get me in the water.

2 year pictures

I finally got Paisley's 2 year pictures done. Paisley has grown up so much since she turned 2 in May! She is pottytrained!!!! I wasn't sure if I wanted to do it in the summer since there is usually a lot going on, but I went to the store and bought her Dora panties and that was it, she decided she didn't want to wear diapers anymore. There has been only one acciedent and she usually wakes up dry from sleeping. Wow I didn't think she would be so easy. I just hope when the baby comes she doesn't decide she wants diapers again. One thing Paisley absolutely loves doing is to sing, every night we go through 7 songs before she will go to bed, and the last song is "you are my sunshine" which my mom says I loved to sing over and over with her when I was young. She is such a joy to be around(most of the time) she is definately 2 with an attitude! We love you Pais!

It's another girl!

No pictures to post this time but just thought I would share that we went to our ultrasound today and found out it is definately going to be another girl. I am very excited to have a sister for Paisley! I guess Tyler will have to wait a little longer for that boy:)

Paisley turns 2!

I know it has been sooooo long since I have updated my blog. Most of you have probably stopped looking because you know it is the same old thing. Given an event like Paisley's 2nd birthday I just HAD to update it, so here it is! Paisley turned 2 today, I can't believe I have a 2 year old! She looks and acts so much different today to me. We love her a lot!

We celebrated her birthday with family yesterday. We had a puppy party. She absolutely loves dogs, no matter their size, she is not afraid. We had a dog pinata, and I attempted to make puppy cupcakes for everyone but only got six out, they were very time consuming, so all the kids got one and the adults just got plain old cupcakes. We bought her a potty training baby in hopes that she will get motivated. Well actually to get me motivated I guess. She asks to go potty all the time, but I tell her just go cause she has a diaper on, I should be better at that I guess. She has the potty, the next step is pull ups.

Farewell to Uncle Kyle!

Tyler's brother Kyle went to the MTC on Wednesday. He will be serving his mission in San Jose, California. Paisley loves Kyle, she was so cute giving him a hug and a kiss and saying "love you" It was sad to see him go, but he will be an amazing missionary! We love you Kyle!

Finally she has HAIR!!! (well sort of)

So yesterday, I got very bored waiting for the super bowl to start, so I decided to take Pais upstairs and experiment with her hair. I usually just wet it all down and then put a little pony tail on top and scrunch the back of her hair to bring out some of the natural curl she has in it. For those who know me well, I love doing little girls hair! When I was younger I would go babysitting and spend a lot of the time trying out new hair styles on the girls I babysat. I was in heaven when my sister April had a girl. Poor Mckinley was always the victim in my crazy hair ideas, though most of them I must say turned out cute.

Since Paisley was born I have been waiting and waiting for her to finally get some hair for me to do, and of course I had a little girl with no hair and slow growing at that! I love the baby bows and all but I especially love acutally doing hair. It's not very thick right now but, these are some pictures of her hair that I flipped out with my flat iron.............

Maybe by her 2nd birthday (which is in a few months) she will be able to have piggy tales, we have our fingers crossed!

I am officially a scentsy distributor

What is Scentsy? The best thing to happen since candles! an impressively fragrant wickless candle bar that is warmed in a warmer rather than burned with a flame. Scentsy is safe enough to leave on 24/7. The base of the Scentsy has a 5 watt light bulb that melts wax that is placed in the dish. The special wax Scentsy uses gets about 1 degree hotter than your body temp. so it won't burn children if they get into it. There are a lot of different warmers to choose from, and over 80 different scents.

I am available to do parties, or if you would just like to purchase a Scentsy or Scentsy products visit me at my wesite... www.cassiemckell@juno.com or www.scentsy.com/5156

My possessed child

So, Paisley had this sickness called hand, foot and mouth. It is blister sores that cover the inside of the mouth and the hands and the feet (hence the name!) It is said to be very painful, so the doctor prescribed liquid lortab for the pain, which is very nice for Tyler and I so we can get some sleep from a screaming child, but not so much for Paisley. She kind of had a crazy moment the other night.... I wish I could have recorded the biginning but only turned the camera on for the end to capture this.....


All is well now and Paisley is no longer sick!
