Today was a good day!

Lately I have been having ALOT of bad days. Days where I just REALLY want to lay in bed and do absolutely nothing! Does that ever happen? No and thats probably the only reason as to why I want to. But I love my family too much to ever do that! But ALL last week consisted of babies throwing up, having diarrhea and crying. I heard ALOT of crying... but between those moments I got lots of snuggles. And thats why i wouldnt wallow in any stupid emotions. But today Indee had 2 friends over. Although there was lots of tattling and yelling:) "jack touched my toy" lol, i saw soooo many smiles out of Indee and days like this make life so worth it!! She is such a cutie and she is sooo much fun! I love hearing her laugh!! We watched Tangles and the two kids that came over (4 years old) started saying "eww" when repunzel kissed the boy at the end and indee started laughing and saying "ewwww" for the next 10 minutes. She totally didnt get why they were saying it but it totally made me smile!! She is such a sweetheart!

Krewson

My sweet Krew... Krew on his first birthday... lol... hopefully Krew wont hate us but this was his only birthday present from grandma and grandpa... We had been so busy and yea didnt get around to it.... Im such a bad mom! Krew is super mobile. He has been walking since he was 10 mos old He is such a sweet heart and is getting more and more cuddly. He gives kisses. Whenever I pucker up he leans into me with his mouth open gives us a slobbery face:) He folds his arms for prayers He claps and is starting to point. He gives high fives He says a few words but the ones he actually uses are mama, buhbuh (buhbye), and babababa- (milk) He loves animals and has so much fun walking around petco He will walk up to us with a huge smile and put his hands straight in the air- meaning "pick me up"- this is something indee never did. Well maybe she is starting to do it now:) He is a very happy boy and LOVES his sister even if she is kind of rough! We love our handsome boy very much!

sick

We have been one sick family here at the Pellegrino home! We caught that nasty flu bug that has been going around. That was the first time that I have had to take care of two very sick babies while being very sick myself. Man that was sooooo hard. Normally i get sick but not at the same time! Kevin, luckily, did not get sick and helped me alot when he got home from work! Funny story: Krew had done soo well all day keeping down plain foods and pedialight so I thought Ill give him a little milk. And Krew LOVED it! Kevin came home shortly after and I handed Krew over. Not even a minute later KRew had thrown up on him!! Like bad throw up! so I come over to kevin to try and help and all I could do was gag!! So Kevin said he would take care of it. :) I took Indee up stairs and hung out with her there, And then the next day I literally stuck to just pedialite for krew.. no food or milk. He again did so well. Well Kevin came home and I again handed him off. AGAIN, not a minute later, Krew threw up all over him! lol... I know it really shouldnt be funny but it wsa to me because both days as soon as Kevin came home he got thrown up on!! What are the chances when Krew hadnt been throwing up all day. Indee had more of a really bad cold with a fever. She needed a few breathing treatments but besides that it really wasnt too horrible for her. The week was hard but both of my kids cuddled with me the entire week and I wouldnt have traded that for the world!

Indee

Indee is such a sweet sweet girl!! I love her so much. She is so caring! The other day she was being so quiet at bedtime and doing everything she was supposed to be doing (staying quiet, not jumping off her bed, not throwing things into Krew's crib) and so I went in to just say thank you to her. She bit her tongue and was telling me how it hurt and I told her how I bit my cheek. Then she kissed my cheek to make it better! :) When I say "Thank you", or anyone for that matter, she says "No, problem." She is getting so much better at playing with Krew softly and not kicking him in the face. And yes that has been quite a problem:) She is just not starting to want to hold Krew which is pretty dificult because he is very mobile and no longer wants his sister to hold him. She is in a 3 and 4t depending on the clothes. She is the size of a 4 year old which gets me some awesome looks in the store when she is on the ground screaming and having a melt down. lol She LOVES Diego and George and has asked for a Diego Birthday party:) She loves gymnastics and asks to go everyday! She is starting to identify a few letters and loves to color and paint!! She is such an awesome little girl! I am so grateful that she is in my life and that i get to cuddle that cutie!! :)

Indee and Jack

So I dont know if Jack knows this, but he is Indee's best friend. She asks for him daily!!! Every night before she goes to bed she asks if she can jump with Jack- meaning if she could go to gymnastics with him. This was taken at a holiday party but I thought it was soo cute! And I am pretty sure her Spiderman fedish is because Jack likes Spriderman! :)

KIT

Kevin- He is still busy at work. He says he is even more stressed with work then he was with school. Which must mean he is super stressed! Right now he is working on fixing the old car so that we can sell it. He would like to get a road bike and bike to work. I asked him about the snow and rain and he said he didnt care. lol.. we will see how that works. I know I wouldnt ride a bike in the snow and rain:) He comes home to eat lunch with me almost everyday. HE is sooo amazing! He seriously doesnt come hom and ever sit. He wrestles with the kids while I get dinner going then helps with their baths and dishes. I soo lucked in on Kevin!! Me- Just taking care of the kids:) Indee- She is potty trained. Even at night! She has done so amazing. We struggled for a few weeks and then said a SMALL prayer one night. The next morning a small thought came to not put any underwear or pull ups on her. And it seriously clicked instantly. She didnt necessarily like it at first but it worked. We are still working on her number 2's. She is also signed up for gymnastics starting this saturday!! I think she will love it. Krewson- Our poor son has had 8 ear infections his whole life. They keep coming back and so he is prescribed a stronger antibiotic everytime. We finally were able to get into the ENT dr and they said he needs tubes. So he has been crawling/pulling himself up for the past 3-4 months and hasnt developed past crawling. The dr said he probably wont without the tubes because his ears are full of soo much fluid. Right now Krew hears everything as if he is underwater. My poor boy. Its considered a surgery so he will have it done at the surgical center. He will be ut under for 4 minutes and it will take 2 minutes to put the tubes in. Due to the expense of it and our high deductibles our house hunting will be on hold:) To be honest I kind of dont want to move into a house because I REALLY want to go back to cali in 5 years or so. We will probably flip a house within that time but we will see. We may end up here forever!!

The happenings here in Columbus

This is what I found!!!!!!!!! I almost died. I took Indee's little seat off the toilet so that I could close the lid and there it was!!! Oh my gosh. Our friend wanted it for her preschool class so I made Kevin catch it. lol. he admitted he was a little scared after the fact

Indee's best friend. His mom and i switch babysitting each week so that we can get things done that we need. It has been wonderful!

And this was on our real estate agents window. It made me laugh. We really are in the country of Indiana:)

Chilly Columbus

It has been pretty chilly here staying under 50 so we have been doing this alot to save on bills. Oh my goodness it is awesome. It just gives such a homey lovey atmosphere. We have been loving it!

Happy Hippie Halloween!

So we decided to be Hippies this year!! :) We started Halloween out by going to our friend's ward party on Saturday. Then Indee had a little party with her school and got to decorate her very own pumpkim. We then went to a Halloween party at ur church and she got soooo much candy. Then Halloween night we went to a friend's get together and ate dinner. We left Krew with the party and took Indee out to trick or treat. After about 4 houses she tripped and got hurt. I dont know why it triggered her thought but she then noticed Krew wasnt with us and freaked out. She must have thought we forgot him somewhere. Poor girl. She sure loves him!

The kids wouldnt cooperate so you cant get the full effect of the costumes

I made Indee's outfit and she really liked it. lol. It was funny to watch her walk around in the pants. She thought she was a movie star.

We could not stop laughing at this one. So many people came up to take his picture because it was just too funny!! His outfit was sking tight:)

Sewing

So I have done a little sewing. Well actually alot. Ive made more than this just havent taken pictures. But I love to sew. I just wish material wasnt so expensive...

Haircuts

SO I went to a salon and got a horrible haircut. Like the worst I had ever gotten. Indee would have cut it better! But a friend said she goes to FAntastic sams and really likes it... so I did too! And I like it:)

Kevin lost a bet at work. It was with the BYU V. Notre Dame game. I guess a guy he worked with went to Notre Dame and so they bet on the game. The school/person who lost had to do this:)

KIT with us

I know it has been soooooooooooo long since I posted and I am hoping that this will be a new start to a better blogger:) We are slowly house hunting! We dont want to rush it but we are looking for a fixer upper. So that should be fun:) Kevin- He is soooo busy at work! But thats a good thing:) HE is able to come home for lunch alot of days which is soo nice! I love spending as much time with his as I can. HE is going to start mountain bike riding with some guys from work I am glad he'll be able to do that! Missa- I have been sewing lots:) Ill post the things later. I am also trying to find new things for our family to do! I am surprised at how much there is to do here in COlumbus. Indee- Is potty training. She is doing so well. she has had a few accidents and has trouble going number 2 in the toilet. in fact we have yet to see that happen:) Krew- is so happy and big. in the 3% for height and 63% for weight so he is short and chubby:) I LOVE it! He is crawling and climbing himself up on EVERYTHING but he has no desire to walk. He wont even walk whie holding my fingers! I love my family and I am so blessed to be able to have them! Columbus is warming up to me:) but i am so grateful that we have this great oppurtunity to be here:)

President Linda Burton

So yup she came here to Indianapolis. Our stake president asked her to come and she said YES! I really needed to hear her speak. She spoke on Temples and the blessings it can bring to your home, family, marriage, and your neighbors around you. So I think I will try harder to make it to the temple and maybe that will help things feel better here:) We are going to have a temple built in Indianapolis. The dedication is in 2 years:) Until then we will travel to Louisville, KY and go there. Its about 2 hours away.

Columbus

To be totally honest I have been having a really hard time here in Columbus lately. Its hard going from a place like Wymount where I can see friends everyday and also have friends for Indee to play with to not really having that. I know that knowwhere else on earth will be like it was in Wymount but I wish I could bring it with me everywhere I go. :) But Kevin has been so good in trying to make it better for the both of us. So after we put the kids to bed he did this for me...

But Indee kept yelling for something else literally from 730pm-1030 pm. We had 2 poopie pullups in that time as well! lol... but it was still fun even if every 5 minutes we had to do something else for her! lol

Sick in Columbus

My kids have had some bad coughs here in Columbus. They got them in utah too. But this particular day they lounged out in PJS all day and watched movies. My poor babies

Indee in Columbus

I think Indee has had a harder time being here. She came from a place where she could play with the same friends every day, almost all day. And now its hard to be able to do. Practically impossible. I try to take her somewhere every morning or most mornings. But she doesnt play with kids like she used to and she has a REALLY hard time playing with new people. She just doesnt. After at least an hour of encouraging her to play with someone new she will but by then we or they are leaving. I feel bad for her. Here she is after dressing herself:)

She LOVES helping me. If I am doing dishes, she wants to help. IF I am cooking, she wants to help. If I am cleaning the bathroom, she wants to help. She is always finding ways to help me:)

At the firestation with her joyschool class. She liked it until the fireman got dressed into his gear. She lost it after that. She was so freaked out.

Proof that she loved this car at some point so that when she turns 16 she cant complain:) lol

This "meow" used to hang out by our house and she loved to play with it. IT was great because we got a pet without having to do anything for it! :) Sadly our neighbors moved and took the kitty with them. No more free pets!

Indee on her first horse ride. We went to Apple Works apple orchard. It was so fun. She rode a choo choo train, rode on a horse, got to pet animals, play in hay and all kinds of fun stuff. We were going to take a hay ride and pick our own pumpkin but we had a melt down so we went and ate dinner instead:)

She never stops making me laugh! She is soo fun! Here she is picking the coins out of the fountain! lol... I made her put them back...

Krewson in Columbus

Krewson is soo happy all the time. In fact when we took him in for his 6 mos check the nurse asked if he was always that happy. I said yes. Then we saw the dr. He came in and told us KRew had a very bad ear infection in BOTH ears!! The dr said if he were to rate it with 10 being the worse he would give it a 10! I felt so bad. Krew was just too happy for me to think anything was wrong. He does get ear infections so often and so bad that he does need tubes. Poor guy. We meet with the ENT on Halloween to sched a date! Here he is with a truck from Papa Mark

Our happy boy..

This is when I decided that he had outgrown his bassinet. lol. He's just a little crunched in there. Dont you think?

Having fun with mommy while daddy looks for glasses

His first big bonk on his head. I seriously cant remember how he got it.

Columbus Parks

So the parks here are AMAZING. I have never seen parks like I have here. And a major plus is they are FREE!! YAY! So needless to say we go often. This is the Commins! Indee loves climbing up the ship and insists that Kev or I go with her. Because Kevin is working I am usually the one that goes with her. Its pretty difficult scooting through the teeny spaces with Krew:)

Daddy is in trouble:) Indee is in love with this little boy Jack. His family moved up here from BYU about thte same time we did. They love playing together.

Indee Loves pushing Krew in the swing and Krew loves getting pushed in the swing by her:) They have so much fun together (alot of the time)

Fun times in Columbus

It was so hot when we got here. Litereally over 100 degrees aith 100% humidity. I had NEVER felt something that bad as to when I came here. So of course we would go and get ice cream when daddy would get home from work.

And bot did she love it...

We also came in time for the county fair. It was NOTHING like the Orangde County fair! lol But it was awesome! Indee got to play on a huge tractor and we got to see my first demolition derby. It wasnt just any derby, it was with LAWNMOWERS!!! lol so funny to watch. Then a couple days later we went back and watched the greased pig contest. We had our first fried oreos and fell in love:) Indee loved all the animals that they bring for their contests :) So fun and different! A great welcome to Columbus:)
