More about Payton and stuff

Well it has been a busy week and a half already, it feels like it has already been a months! Payton is going to have a very active first month of life. She is going to see the dentist for the first time at 3 weeks old, LOL! She is also going to have a new cast every week for a while. She is doing really well so far with her first cast. It doesn't bother her too much. She will randomly scream out for a second sometimes, but I think it's because she wants to kick her foot and can't. She gets over it pretty quick though. Here is a picture of what her foot looked like before the cast. I thought I'd try and post pictures of her new cast each week. So here is before....

......And here is after (this was taken the day she got the cast on). The doctor was SUPER nice and went on and on about how good Payton's pediatrician was for sending her in ASAP. He said most younger Pediatricians will wait to send them in (for a club foot), so they can keep an eye on it to see if it will correct itself. When it probably won't and by the time children are sent in for their foot to be corrected it is not good. It takes longer to correct, longer you wait, because babies are so flexible, it's easier/faster to correct. Her doctor says she should be 100% corrected before she walks or maybe even crawls. I just LOVE our pediatrician, she was actually Nathan's doctor when he was a kid as well.

Anyways, I will try to post her new cast pic this Thursday (if things aren't too hectic and I'm not too tired).

 And here is  a picture of Matthew holding Payton (he actually asked if he could hold her then insisted I take a picture...he's so cute). The next two pictures are of the two older kids trying on Daddy's new motorcycle helmet. They LOVE to take rides with Daddy down the street and back. They also love to wear his helmets LOL!

She has finally made her appearance!!!!!!

On February 23, 2012 @ 2:11 P.M., Miss Payton Olivia Dill was born!!!!!!!!!!!

She weighed 6 pounds and 10 ounces, and was 19 inches long. It was a vary easy labor and delivery. Yay!! It was almost exactly like Kylie's delivery. I got her out in two pushes and no stitches were necessary (sorry for that gross detail, LOL). She is absolutely beautiful! And we love her soooo much already. She is a great sleep and an even better eater! :) She was born with some rather interesting "things." She has a club foot which can be corrected. They say it's not too bad and will most likely be fixed well enough that no one will ever know she had a problem! And another interesting trait, she was born with two bottom front teeth, LOL! They are going to be removed ASAP because they are a choking hazard. I was not alarmed when I was told though because I was actually born with a tooth (it was pulled out as well and my adult tooth still grew in) so no worries, all will be fixed and well. Aside from all that she is perfect!!! She has a very sweet spirit and we LOVE her. Even Matthew and Kylie love her! They haven't even asked if we could "put her back." They do act out a little more than usual right now, but I expected it. Adding another little one can be stressful on everyone, especially little ones. But, we are doing very well and I love all my little angels. They bring me so much joy!!!! And, sorry this is the only picture I have, but I did just give birth. I am actually pretty shocked I was able to blog this at all so early. I will try to post more when I am not so exhausted. So for now, Goodnight. LOL!!!! 

Christmas....finally a new post! ;)

Sorry it has taken me so long to get this post up. It has been very crazy at our house, especially since there is only 1 month before little miss Payton arrives. Christmas was amazing this year (technically last year, LOL). My parents, sister, and all but one brother were here in Oklahoma to celebrate Christmas with us. We had a full/fun house. We went to a place called The Orre Family Farm to go see Santa. It was both Matthew and Kylie's first time to sit on Santa's lap. And, Matthew knew exactly what to do. It was pretty cute. As soon as Santa asked him what he would like for Christmas he told him right away that he wanted a bike! Kylie was a little more shy but she didn't cry (which took me by suprise). We had so much fun at the farm! We rode a carosel, a train, went down slides, drank some yummy hot chocolate, pet some farm animals, and the kids rode horses for the first time. Kylie was especially thrilled to ride the pony. Matthew chose the smallest horse, and of course, Kylie chose the biggest one. Kylie kept petting her pony and laughing. It was really sad when she had to get off though. I think we are going to have to put her in horse back riding lessons. She is IN LOVE with horses!!!! Anyways, we had a great time with my parents and siblings. It was sad to see them go but hopefully we will get to visit them again before next Christmas.

 Matthew with Santa, loving every moment of the Orre Family Farm.

Kylie was mostly interested in Santa's beard. LOL

Matthew on his little pony. :)

 Kylie having the time of her life on her big horsie. She has never smiled so big...ever. Although, she is not smiling in this picture, it was because she was talking to her horse.

 Here is Christmas morning, unwrapping their presents from Santa (that is their new Kitchen in the backround).

 Matthew got the bike asked Santa for, I guess he was a pretty good boy last year!

 That was Christmas....not sure when the next post will be. It might be pictures of a new baby girl. I will try to get in some posts before then, but I'm not making any promises, hahaha. Matthew and Kylie are ready for their sister to come out and greet us (I know I am DEFINITELY ready for her to be here). They ask me at least once a day if "she is coming today". I love my little toddlers, they are growing up so fast. And, they are going to be very good with their new sibling. They both take turns taking care of Kylie's baby dolls. It is pretty amazing to watch. Matthew even tries to change the "baby's" diaper, and Kylie feeds them and puts them to bed, and takes them on walks to "the park (our kitchen)". They are such good kids. I thank Heavenly Father every day for the angels he has sent me. They give me such joy and happiness. I can't wait to add another sweet angel to our family.

Well November just flew by!!!!!

Sorry I don't have any pictures.... :( But we had a lovely thanksgiving with friends and later, family. I also stayed in line for hours for black friday (or I should say black Thursday).  It was a long, cold wait, but totally worth it. I saved us over $100.00 on Christmas presents for the kids.
   And for those of you who do not know, we had our reveal party for our baby and my husband's twin sister's baby (she is five weeks behind me so we decided to have a double reveal party). So I am happy to say,

Precious is she and Oh So Sweet!
Tiny hands and adorable feet!

Christine and I are both having girls!!!!!  We are super excited! Soooo sorry I don't have any pictures, I was too excited to take any. But, let me just say, I AM SUPER SHOCKED! I thought for SURE we were having a boy. So much so, that I already had a boy named all picked out. So now I am stuck. Girl names are SO hard for me to pick. I am sure we will find the perfect one for this little princess though. Until then, I am going to enjoy the constant kicks and playful nudges this little girl gives me for another three months or so. :-D 

Happy really belated Halloween. LOL

We had sooo much fun on Halloween! This was the kids first real trick or treating experience. We went family, and had a nice little group going. Kylie was Repunzel of course. I made her dress (if you remember my last post) and she wore it at our branch Halloween trunk or treat. She also got barbeque sauce all down the dress so I had to wash it. Unfortunately, the dress kinda fell apart. With no time to fix it, I ran to Target and actually found a Repunzel dress, AND IT WAS ON SALE!!!  I was elated! Matthew decided he wanted to be Buzz Lightyear again, which saved me more money, so therefor, made me happy. :) We also carved a pumpkin for the first time. I let the kids pick out a stencil from disney characters. They chose goofy..... I carved goofy out and let the kids decorate the rest of the pumpkin with some disney stickers. We had tons of fun. And, the kids were so polite when we went from door to door. And, yes, I made them say, "Trick or Treat!" I realized nowadays, parents don't tell their kids to say it anymore. They just knock and shove their bags in your face (and often forget to say, "Thank You," as well). Well that is my shpeal for now. Hopefully I can get some good pics of my reveal party this weekend and blog about it next week. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that. My sister-in-law Christine, and I, are having a reveal party to reveal the gender of our babies. It is this weekend and we are SUPER excited!!! I will try to remember to blog about it, but......not making any promises. ;) LOL!!!

Fun in October!

I am finally getting around to posting about Kylie's birthday party. It was a great success! There were probably over 25 people here. We did a craft, ate pizza, and lady bug cupcaks. And, of course, we opened presents (unfortunately I ran out of room on my camera so no present pics...sorry). Here she is just before the party in her party dress (thanks Shanilee for lending this to her, she looked beautiful). She was a little under the weather but a piece of candy cheered her up right away. :)

They didn't have any lady bug birthday banners at the store so I made one especially for Kylie. It was fun! The whole thing said, "Happy Birthday Kylie."

A nice cheesy smile with candy in her mouth...hahahaha, she cracks me up!

This was the lady bug craft we did that I found online. It was sooo much fun, and a perfect thing to do considering the weather (it was raining cats and dogs outside during the entire party).

Kylie twirling with a balloon and waiting for guests to show up. ;)

Finally digging into her cupcake...yum!

These were the cupcakes I made with my friend Shanilee. The lady bugs are actually Snackwell cookies dipped in frosting. With Mini M&Ms for the dots. The leaves they are sitting on are actually rolled out green gum drops. We had soo much fun making them!

CLOSE UP! That is about all the pictures I had for her party. The rest of the pictures are the Halloween costumes I made for Kylie and I.

I made this dress for Kylie since ALL of the Repunzel dresses were either sold out or too expensive. Since Kylie has the perfect hair for Repunzel, I was determined that she was going to be her for halloween. I made the dress in one day (without a pattern).  It turned out WAY better than I thought it would. I also got a little creative and made her sleeves from an old pair of Kylie's pantyhose.

This shirt I made for myself. Since I am 21 weeks pregnant, and definitely showing I decided not to really dress up and just wear a cute t-shirt.  My sister-in-law Christine emailed me a really cut t-shirt for Halloween but it would have cost me $30.00 to have. I thought, "I am not going to spend that much on a shirt I only plan on wearing once" Soooo, once again I had to get creative. I was going to paint the design on a black t-shirt I had, but realized I had no paint...nor money to buy paint. And, thanks to an AMAZING website called, "Pinterest," I was able to find another way to put the design on my shirt. I first got a white colored pencil and drew the design, and then, just got a paint brush, some bleach water, and painted the design on the shirt. And this is how it turned out!......

I have to say, it came out better than I expected and it came out cuter than I expected. Oh how I love crafts!

Sorry it's been sooooo long!!

So much has happened with our family, so sorry to have kept you all in the dark. First off, we bought a new house!!! This is the front (I might post more pix of the house some other time). It is three bedrooms and two bathrooms. So much more roomier then the duplex. That place was just getting smaller by the minute. ;) That white Ford Expedition in the driveway is also a new edition to our family. We LOVE it!!!

And if you are wondering what this is.... It's the first meal I cooked in our new house. A made-from-scratch pepperoni and cheese pizza. YUM!!!!!

We also got some brand new leather furniture to match our brand new home. And, yes our house is literally brand new! We are the first people to occupy it, in fact they finished building it and doing last minute touches the day before we closed on the house. It's been a major blessing!!!!

And, Nathan finished school at Metro tech last month and is now working at Tinker Air Force Base in Midwest City, Oklahoma. I am soooo proud of him! He has sacrificed so much for our family. And it's all paying off! Unfortunately he still isn't getting any sleep because he is working full time at both Tinker and Kimray (his old job), so that we can get rid of as much debt as possible before...............

DILL BABY NUMBER 3 ARRIVES!!!!!  That's right, that just happened! I am about 19 weeks along today and the baby will be here around March 3rd, 2012. We still don't know the gender but will find out soon enough. :) This pregnancy has been the worst pregnancy so far. All through the first trimester and partially through the second, I was super sick with morning sickness (more like all day sickness). I couldn't even keep water down. I eventually had to get some prescribed antinausia medication. Now I am feeling great though. I am not on the medication any more and don't really feel sick (unless I eat too fast or eat too much). And, that my friends, is why I have been away so many months. All is well now and hopefully I will be better at blogging in the future. Oh, and my little Kylie just turned 2 last Sunday and we are throwing a ladybug themed birthday party for her. Hopefully I can remember to take some video and pics so I can blog about it.....Until then, I hope you enjoyed the blog. :)
