Danika had a play date with a great, long lost friend come for a visit. Allie used to go to daycare with Danika from the time they were a few months old until last Summer when they moved to Minnesota. They had SO much fun together!</div>

And mid-Allie visit, Haddie lost her spunk and threw up her lunch. I thought it was maybe a fluke, as she's been known to lose her lunch and be fine (weird, I know) BUT, as we were packed and ready to go for an overnight adventure to visit Mike, Lori and Miles, she threw up ALL over her carseat. (Major sad face- for her, for moms hands that tried to catch it, and for her car seat that dad had to clean:/)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for two full days and nights, my poor little spitfire, had not an ounce of happiness or spunk in her, and was vomiting non-stop. I felt so helpless, especially when she'd say "No puke, no puke Mommy!" as she was about to vomit:( </div>

I had to take a day off work to stay home with her and other than going to the doctor and pharmacy, this was my view the whole day... </div>

Since we all had off school on Friday, Danika's been wanting Chloe to come over, so they had a sleepover at our house. It was fun for all 3 girls and to my amazement, Danika was brave and actually slept the whole night in the basement bed with Chloe!</div>

It was a nice sunny day, so of course everyone had the same idea as us, and it was CrAzY with people! </div>

Danika also got a pony ride- wasn't nearly as fun as the ride 2 years ago when we came though! They had larger horses that she rode and they would wonder in a field for about 5-10 minutes! Now, it's bit more of a 'county fair' set up with the miniature ponies hooked to a chain for 2 minutes:/ And I think it was double priced! BUT Danika still enjoyed it... so happy kid, happy life!</div>

Has it REALLY been 2 months? How can it be that winter seems as though it has gone on for.ev.er. and yet 2 months have quickly slipped by?!? As the Sunday's kept happening I kept thinking about blogging....and then the thought went away and I didn't:/ </div>
<div align="center">
So anyway, I'm here. We're good. Let's get on with it....</div>
<div align="center">
We've had a lot to celebrate lately, as both girls have had birthdays!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Oldest first, Ms. Danika Jolee turned 4 on February 14th! </div>
<div align="center">
This girl puts the "queen" in drama queen. She has a heart of gold, but the definite sassiness of an independent soul. She LOVES: Her blankie, her daddy (and even her mom and sister a bit these days;), drawing and anything arts and craftsy, FROZEN music and movie, mac 'n cheese, dancing and singing, and her latest and greatest is playing pretend. She always has enjoyed it, but lordy does she have a wild imagination these days! I'm always asking "how did you think of that?" or "Do you pretend that at daycare?". Some days she's a doctor, others a restaurant chef or a princess. Whatever she is, she puts her whole self into character and expects nothing less from mom and dad when participating too:) Lately she's had a few imaginary friends. It brings back wild memories of myself as a kid. I had 3. No joke, they were my BFF's! Friend, Jenny, and Cousin. (Real original names, right?) Well, Danika has Azul and Rojo. (Yep, Spanish colors:) Thanks, Dora)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Everyone says it and I'm sure I've said it many times already, but time goes SO fast. How did my little 6 pound peanut turn into this amazing soul? Makes me sad, proud, happy and emotional all the same!</div>

Haddie Grace celebrated her 2nd birthday last Sunday, March 16th. </div>

If Danika is a drama queen, then Haddie is a firecracker! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Haddie has MUCH more extreme emotions, but it's usually a quick explosion and it's done and she's over it and onto the next thing. She is much more fearless, but also more of my cuddler and snugglebug too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...and she's quite mischievous!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Notice the cute, innocent smiley face peeking through the bed that she colored ALL over with black crayon! Disclaimer: Dad was in charge this night:)</div>

Haddie LOVES: Her babies, smiling, eating, reading books, talking NON stop and doing pretty much whatever her big sis does! She does NOT like being told "no"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of my absolute favorite things she says right now:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"It's special to me!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Kaka" for Danika</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"SEE you mommy!" (when she wants up or on my lap)</div>

Other than birthday celebrations, we've been trying to enjoy this horrid winter as much as it is actually possible. When the weather got above zero, we headed outdoors! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Danika came with me to an evening skating party hosted at my school and she got to try to ice skating! She wasn't so sure about it at first, (didn't help the ice skates were a bit big!) Eventually she got somewhat comfortable and enjoyed herself...as long as she was holding on to something or someone...</div>

and finally, I think I'm caught up to this week! It was my Spring break so the girls and I had fun at home together, and venturing out to the library, children's museum, and open gym gymnastics. We even brought dad lunch one day and managed to have 1 afternoon (out of 9!) that were warm enough to get outside and do chalk and bikes! I think (fingers crossed) that Spring with be here sooner than later!</div>

Below is a video of Danika trying out her new Pink-a-liscious bike that Santa brought for the 1st time outside! It's not too exciting, but it's pretty cute when she turns around and gets going... you can see and hear Haddie in the background cheering for her saying "Yeah, Danika...You can do it!" LOVE them!</div>

After all the Christmas fun, Daren and I were off for a relaxing week away with Lori & Mike while the Grandma's were in charge of the kiddos! We went to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico for 5 nights while we had some time off school. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the wasted half-day time-share talk, and thunderstorm day.... oh, and the swollen face and black eye, it was a fun trip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Really, the 1st 2 days had their ups and downs, but we were in good company and overall it really was a great, amazing, relaxing trip. I would go there again in a heartbeat!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As much as we love our children and couldn't imagine life without them, we also LOVE and are thankful for our much needed and deserved adult time too! Earlier in the month, we got to celebrate Mike's birthday and enjoy that adult time in Madison for a Badger game...it was a blast!</div>

We also have been very thankful this month that Daren finished up the harvest for the year, and has been home in the evenings. It's allowed for all kinds of fun, including eating our supper on the chair bus:) Haddie's driving...Yikes! Watch out:)</div>

As we talked this month about all we are thankful for and what we can do for others, a funny coincidence happened. Danika and I went shopping at the dollar store for gift items for her 'Operation Christmas Child' shoe boxes she was packing for needy children...While we were there, a lady walked up to us and said she noticed what a good, kind girl Danika had been and was wondering if she would like a drawing lap desk? We were both a little unsure, but the woman went to her car and brought in a brand new, in the box, lap desk...apparently she bought it as a gift and never gave it, so she was going to take it to Goodwill, then noticed us in the store! Danika was very excited about it and I thought it was neat for D to be a part of an act of kindness:)</div>

Yeah, not at all. We signed up for the 5 mile and after much screaming by Haddie and "I'm cold"s by Danika, we decided to veer off course and hopped in with the 2 milers to finish as quickly as possible. Not an enjoyable experience! I guess now we now for future years:)</div>

For starters, in case there was any question about it, Ms. Hadster is without a doubt, not a baby anymore! She is starting to repeat everything we say and most definitely has a mind of her own (which we've really known all along, but now she's actually expressing it verbally)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've also said all along she'd be the child to go to the ER and she's already mastered that, but I still think there will be many more heart stopping moments ahead with Hadster.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is becoming a very skilled climber these days...which isn't necessarily a good thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We treasured every minute with dad this month because they were few and far between. He was a busy guy with lots of late and/or overnights at far away locations trying to get the corn harvested. I'm happy to report as I'm typing this he is finishing up his 2nd to last location tonight out of 50+, so hopefully by week's end we will get to see much more of him!</div>

Yep, I decided it would be a good idea to paint Haddie's room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We change out minds on a <strike>monthly</strike> err <strike>weekly</strike>, OK, <strong><em>daily</em></strong> basis about if /when we are moving, where to, if we want to buy or build etc... I've put a lot of updates and decorating on hold the past 6 or so months because I didn't want to put the time or energy into the house if we were going to sell it, but clearly we don't know what our plan is at this point, so I decided to just enjoy our house now, and not just <em>live</em> in it, but <em>love</em> it, so I felt Haddie's room was ready for an update. </div>

If you remember back a few years ago, this whole blog thing got started with a post about our nursery being complete for baby Dummer #1 to arrive (the link below will take you to that post)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em>(Not going to lie, I shed a tear looking at that 1st post and thinking about our lives at that time! Glad I didn't read it before I painted or I just may have changed my mind...or at least stalled the project)</em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a lot of work to create the mural on the wall, so it was really bittersweet to decide to paint over it, but I just felt it was time. It's still undecided if there will be another baby Dummer in this family, but now that we have 2 girls, and they are both not babies anymore (how did that happen so fast? :/)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just didn't love the 'Bunny Meadow' theme and was having a hard time truly making it a girl room, and not a baby room.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did some blog reading, Pinterest searching, and I finally had a color scheme and plan I loved, so to work I went!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first job was to take down the frames and letters from Haddie's name- The frames were nailed so that was an easy job... The letters however, not so easy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Back to the lovely torn up wall picture above)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We used 3M easy pull stickies to attached the letters to the wall, but they didn't peel quite as easy as I had hoped. Every letter either bubbled, riped, or completely tore the <strike>paint</strike> drywall from behind the letter. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE... that means 6! So, before I could even paint, we had some major patching, spackling, and texturing to do:/ (Not part of the easy plan to 'just paint')</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once that was complete, it was finally time to paint! I planned 2 walls to be a teal color and the opposite two walls would be 2-toned and painted with a chevron pattern (Chevron is a zig-zag type of line)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In progress...The teal walls turned out great and I even enjoyed the quiet time to myself painting them... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then came disaster #2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my overhead projector from school to print a Chevron pattern and then I projected it onto the wall (similar to what I did with the meadow scene) I thought it was straight and looked good so I started taping. and taping. and taping some more. Then when I had to move the projector over I could NOT get it matched up. I spent a good hour staring at that darn wall getting so frustrated. Daren even came home around midnight that night and tried to help me, but it just wouldn't work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lesson learned- next time I'll put the effort up front to measure the wall and tape spacing that way, vs. a projector that changes with the slightest movement:/</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, after an hour the next day trying again, the tape came down....</div>

We had a last minute costume change...with all the drama painting Haddie's room, I didn't have time to make Danika's costume this year:/ I bought all the fabric to make sleeping beauty, so I had planned to have Haddie be one of the good fairy's from the book/movie. Well, I couldn't find a sleeping beauty costume, so Danika was OK switching to Cinderella...which meant I had to change Haddie too so that they made some sort of sense together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Haddie ended up being Cinderella too, but <em>before</em> the Fairy Godmother.</div>

Haddie just ran around and jumped on us and babbled away, then we put her to bed half way through and D and I stayed up and watched the rest of the movie <em>Brave</em>. It was really fun bonding time together. We all have missed Daren <strong>TONS</strong>... but I must admit I treasure our few moments alone together, because they don't happen often and the kid doesn't show me much affection when dad is around...so the few snuggles, "I love yous" and "This is the best night ever" and "Oh mom, this is so special!" made my whole world better:) I've said it before and I'll say it again, being a mom is CRAZY hard, but it is the absolute most rewarding thing I will ever do in my life!</div>

Yes, that's what fun and excitement has been going on at the Dummer household for the last 5 days! Haddie work up Wednesday night and vomited....twice. So Daren stayed home with her Thursday and she continued to get sick....all-day-long. I think they both had about 3-4 clothes changes (never done so many loads of laundry in 5 days!) No fever or much else at that point (aside from a mild cold/cough that she's had for a few weeks). Well, after 3 nurse calls, we almost had to go into the ER to start IV fluids for dehydration...the poor girl couldn't keep down even an ounce of water:( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the 3rd time was the charm and we switch to 1 tbsp. of water every 5-10 minutes, and she was able to hold that in. I stayed home on Friday and then she started to run a high fever. We again called the doc, they gave us some ideas of how to help her, but didn't really need to see her, since she was having somewhat-wet diapers and keeping some liquid down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday, I thought she was on the uphill, as she was able to keep more than just water and saltines down...BUT she threw up once in the morning and once at nap time, and again, her fever returned:/ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday, pretty much the same story of low appetite, very cranky and unhappy, and that darn fever that I couldn't break. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last night she woke up coughing and vomiting 4 times, so we knew there was more than just a 'virus' going on here...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, Today Daren stayed home in the AM and I came home at lunch time to again stay home with her. Daren took her to urgent care this morning and turns out she has an ear infection, and some symptoms that seem to be possibly the onset of pneumonia:(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily, she's on an antibiotic now so hopefully it really, truly is uphill from here!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Long story short, I have 2 pictures that I took this entire week (and only from my phone)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So exhausted and under the weather, that if mom's not going to pick her up, she's just going to stand next to me...well, even that is too exhausting so she decided to rest her head on the toilet seat:)</div>

Danika has been a pretty good big sis...she went to daycare on Thursday and Friday, but actually stayed home today because she (and I) have the nasty cold part of what Haddie is dealing with... D has been a little cranky and pretty uncomfortable with her stuffed up nose and cough. She actually vomited on Saturday night too, but I think it was mostly because of her coughing. Let's hope it doesn't get any worse for her!</div>

The big event of the week was Daren's birthday on Thursday. Last Sunday we started his 'birthday week' with 30 gifts for him to open throughout the week...They ranged from just little notes, candy, lottery tickets, and worked up to his actual gift. </div>

He's been wanting this Clay Matthews pictures for our basement for a LONG time... I've never been too crazy about it because I don't really want my calm, simple space turned into a sports bar! Well, it's taken me a few years, but I have finally reconsidered:/ Of course now, the autographed Brett Favre pictures will probably have to get dusted off and make their way out of the closet (it's been enough time to re-like him again, right?!?!) So next time you visit the Dummer house, you just may enter Packer central in our basement! </div>

All of it aside, Daren is worth it and deserves it. I usually get the majority say of what I want (or mostly don't want) in the house for décor and color schemes, etc... so I suppose it's only fair!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...and Lynn said it best....I'd MUCH rather have a Clay canvas in my basement instead of a Deer Head! (IF he ever gets a buck that will be a garage item- end of discussion:)</div>

Back to school means craziness! It's been a week of adjustment at our house....Not only am I back at work, but Daren had long days so I was on my own with the girls. They are doing pretty well easing back into daycare, but they are definitely more tired and grumpy for their mama when they come home...and I am equally as tired (and probably grumpy) at them. I sure do miss them during the day though, so we make the best of what little time we have together these days.</div>
<div align="center">
This weekend we went to Birchwood with some friends for a last summer getaway. We rented a family friend's cabin and enjoyed our weekend of relaxing, fishing, and boating. </div>
<div align="center">
Because of the week we had, I have zero pictures from the week, but did manage to snap a few pics of our weekend on my phone, so that's what you get this week!</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
The fish were really biting and the boys caught a couple good ones, so Daren decided to filet a few for our supper</div>

Last weekend the girls and I ventured to Phoenix park, in hopes of taking some somewhat decent pictures myself...I've loved all the professional ones we've had done, but they are not cheap! So, I decided to see what my camera could do...we didn't get anything great, but it was a fun adventure! Hopefully I'll edit a few and maybe they'll look OK(in all my spare time) </div>

Seriously, is it really September? Wow. Where did Summer go? I'm happy to report we continued to cram in as much fun as we could these last few weeks. I'm sad to report that tomorrow life returns to 'normal' as the girls head to daycare and I go back to work...I worked last week, but not full time and the girls were here and there. It's always such a bittersweet time of year for me. I do get very excited about starting a new school year and the potential effects I can have on all the new students I get to spend more time with than my own children the next 10 months...however, that's the hard part too, spending more time with my kindergartners than my own children:/ When we are in our school routine I wake them up, get them dressed, shove them out the door....then pick them up, feed them supper, baths and bed. Bottom line, I miss my OWN kids! </div>

Part time work would be a great gig... still an outlet for myself, but more time with my girls too. BUT, my house, <strike>car</strike> van (we'll get to that in a minute!) clothes, etc... won't pay for themselves, so off to work I go. I know, those of you that work 12 months EVERY year aren't feeling any sympathy for me here and are thinking "at least you get your summer's off!" and I agree, that is a great benefit of my career- but it does make it harder to go back too!</div>

So about that 'V' word...van. Yay, we got one. Do you hear the excitement in my typing voice? In all honesty, it took some major convincing to get me to agree to even looking at a van (yes, Daren was on board WAY before me:), but once we test drove them and tried the car seats in it, it was kind of a no-brainer...I had to put ease and practicality (and oh yeah, price!) ahead of my dislike and stigma that comes along with being a mini-van owner...and I have to say I LOVE it! The gas mileage is not much worse than the Malibu, believe it or not, and I still have a few perks and amenities I had a hard time giving up. So instead of saying I own a 'van' we like to call it the "swagger wagon" thanks to the folks at Toyota for the idea. We actually did not get a Toyota, we got a Honda Odyssey, but props to the Toyota Peeps for created this hilarious commercial/videos a few years ago...It really brought a whole new appreciation for the 'swagger wagon' and helped make it a little easier to take the plunge!</div>

But Danika did enjoy herself...Haddie, probably not so much, but we just kept feeding her and she was content:)</div>

Even thought the 1st and last time we took the boat out this summer, Haddie broke her leg, we decided it was completely unrelated and we should probably take it out again before summer is over.....errrr, wait, it is over:/ Good thing we snuck out on Sunday! The weather wasn't scorching, but it was a nice, cool evening for a ride. Danika and I even jumped in and swam a bit. Granny got to come along too!</div>

Here we are again... ready to report about our last few weeks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We continue to pack in as much summer fun as we can. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Papa arranged for the grandkids to have a horse ride with one of the farm helpers, Sarah. Danika was SO excited. I thought she'd be nervous on a 'big' horse since she's only had pony rides before, but she proved me wrong. We had to talk her into letting Daren walk along side her, as long as he didn't hold onto her!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We headed out for a last minute camping excursion the middle of last week. It's been impossible to find 2 consecutive days that we've had nothing going on, so we finally got it work out and Daren took a few days off work and to Hayward we went. We camped at Lake Chippewa Campground just east of Hayward. It was actually a lot of fun and the girls entertained themselves pretty well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For this year's girl's weekend with the Dummer/Spielman clan, we went for a sunset cruise on Lake Pepin. It was ABSOLUTELY. BEAUTIFUL. I just love being on the water in general, but the temperature was great and the sunset was amazing.</div>

We've been doing the usual summertime activities... fairs, sprinklers, art projects, play dates, fairs, music in the park, fountains, bike riding, fairs, outdoor movies...and did I mention fairs?!!?! :)</div>
<div align="center">
I think we've been to 4 county and/or city fairs this month, which has been a blast for Danika going on rides, and us for fair food:) </div>
<div align="center">
Haddie is doing pretty well with her leg. Her splint ended up sliding out of place and so we had to go back to the dr. unexpectedly to have it removed. They took an x-ray and it looked like it was healing nicely, so instead of another cast or splint, he let us just do a boot for the last 2 weeks. It's been great because we can take it off for baths/showers and when she sleeps at night...Unfortunately she got a horrible blister on her heel from the splint so we've been dealing with trying to let that heal, but we go back to the Dr. on Thursday and (fingers crossed!!!!) she gets to be done all together and back to her usual, non-stop on the go! I will say though, since we've had the boot it's almost like she is back to normal...she can walk with it on, climb up the stairs (although she shouldn't!) and tons of other things she did pre-broken leg. </div>
<div align="center">
We are enjoying every minute of summer and can't even believe July is just about gone and August (and school:/) are around the corner! </div>

Earlier in June Daren and I took the girls to the circus! Haddie wasn't too interested and just wanted to wonder around, but Danika was really interested in it. She was nervous at first to go because she is terrified of lions/tigers, etc... but the tigers ended up being her favorite part...well, 2nd favorite next to the pony ride:)</div>

We also went to a few Dairy breakfasts in the area for June Dairy month. Danika had a blast at the Pepin Co. breakfast. She jumped in a bouncy house, ate ice cream & pancakes, pet a zebra....but none of that compared to getting her face painted! She sat so still in the chair for the lady, and was very proud of the finished result:)</div>

This week we FINALLY had a free night so when Daren got home from work we got the boat ready and headed to the lake for the first boat ride of the summer. Both girls got a little antsy and didn't care to just sit and ride around the lake, but they did want to get in the water. I jumped in first and then took turns with the girls... </div>

Our boating night was fun, but ended not so great :( There is a park right near the boat landing and we told Danika that she could play there for 5 minutes while Daren loaded up the boat before we left for home....5 minutes I wish never happened!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Haddie wanted to play too and on our last time down the slide, her leg got caught between my leg and the slide and bent backwards. Daren and I both thought we heard some kind of 'pop' or noise and she started SCREAMING. I looked at her leg and her foot look like it wasn't facing the direction it should be. Instant panic and we sped to the ER. Probably as a mom it was my Worst. Moment. Ever. I felt so guilty about taking her down the slide and kept thinking about what I could or should have done differently. </div>

They did an X-Ray and the good news is it isn't a full break...the bad news, however, is that it is a spiral fracture. That means she has a crack in her Tibia (the bigger bone in her lower leg). They put a splint on her leg for now, but tomorrow she has another x-ray and an appointment with an orthopedic dr. to determine what to do next...most likely she will need a hard cast, but I'm not sure how long. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a very frustrating week watching her try to get around and realize she can't walk. It took her about 3 days to figure out how to crawl with the cast, and now yesterday and today she is on the move again, in a new and different way. </div>

In the grand scheme of things, this is a minor thing and she'll be back up and running in no time...however it put in perspective for me how awful it is as a parent to have a hurt or sick child. I can't even begin to imagine how some families deal with much more serious situations. I know how blessed we are with what we have in our lives and our health. </div>

On a total side note and random comment... Haddie is starting to get super curly hair! It's always been so straight and still is pretty straight in the front, but the back is curling like crazy! It will be interesting to see how it changes as it grows. </div>

My apologies for letting 3 weeks slip by...things have been just <em>slightly</em> busy in the Dummer household. We can FINALLY say that as of this past mid-week, I'm done with school & the girls are done with daycare for the summer, and Daren is finally done planting! I have a couple of workshop days this week, but we have lots of fun Summer adventures ahead of us... Here's a look at the last 3 weeks. </div>

No wonder Danika fell asleep on a short, 5 minute drive home, mid-sucker treat and all! I'm posting a video of this below as well...at night she's usually a pretty sound sleeper, but not so much in the car. This was after daycare around 5pm on our drive home. She got a sucker from the grocery store and I tried to pull it out and she's refused to let me take it out of her mouth. She was sleeping SO hard, I finally had to video me trying to get it from her! It's pretty comical!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, as many of you know, we said a very unexpected goodbye to our dog Sophie this week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been the weirdest, loneliest few days at our house without her. We cared a lot about her, but didn't realize just how much she was a part of our family or how special she was to us until this week...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
About 2 months ago Sophie had a LOT of teeth pulled because they were infected, but it sounded like that's all it was and she was back to normal after they were pulled out. Not long after that we noticed her limping a bit and thought it was odd, but then it went away. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, just last Friday she started doing it again, but it got really bad within just a day and by Saturday afternoon she wasn't putting any weight on her leg and was really panting. Daren took her to the vet on Monday. At first the vet thought it was possibly Lyme's disease or an infection, but after some blood work that didn't really seem to be the case. They took an Xray and it was bad news from there:/ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was a large tumor in her leg and when you looked the comparison Xray from her other leg, it was glaringly obvious that it was not good. She had bone cancer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He gave us some options.... They could amputate the leg, but that would only give her about 4 more months of life. If they amputated it AND did chemo therapy once a week, that would potential give her 10-12 months. Obviously, neither option would really help enhance the quality of her life and just seemed like things for 'us' rather than for Sophie, so we had to make the dreaded decision to put her to sleep. Daren called me at school with the horrible news and I rushed with the girls to the vet clinic so we could say goodbye one last time. </div>

<div align="center">
We will always remember her and have a special place in our hearts for her, as our first family member, long before the girls came along:)</div>
<div align="center">
If they wrote doggie obituaries it would sound something like this:</div>
<div align="center">
<em>Soph-dog lived a good life for nearly 10 years. She came into this world as a puppy in Florida and spent her first 4 1/2 adventurous years as the racing dog "Sheila Bea". When her career was over she was rescued by the Northern Lights Greyhound Association in Minnesota and from there we adopted her and she spent the rest of her days at home with us:) Most of them calm and mild, she loved to have a good run with me once in a while, chew the heck out of any new toy continuously until she completely wore out the squeaker, and once in a while get herself into mischief as any good dog does on occasion! (Like eat a full pan of 12 ice cream cone cupcakes, a stick of butter, or whatever else we foolishly left sitting out:) Her favorite people snack was popcorn!</em><br />
</div>
<div align="center">
We adopted her almost 5 years ago, so she really has been with us for practically our whole married lives and definitely has been a part of the girls lives. Danika kind of understands, but I'm pretty sure she thinks that she will be coming home again at some point. Every time she talks about her I start to cry! It doesn't seem like it has really phased her, but only time will tell. This morning we were talking about it and how Sophie is in doggie heaven and isn't in pain anymore and she said "But when her leg gets better she can come home from that place right?" (thinking 'heaven' was the vet's office where we went to visit her) Totally broke my heart. I hope that gets better, not worse:/ </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Not much else to post and share this week...the girls are fun as ever, Daren is frustrated by the rain this week and has been unable to plant as much as he hoped, and I'm starting to get insanely busy at school with just 13 more school days to go. Other than that, our week was spent reflecting and remembering the happy times with Sophie and and even wishing back some of the not so favorite things about having a dog. Walking her was sometimes a burden, but this week,we took a few family walks, just because! I hope we can continue to make time for that...</div>

A few weeks ago after a challenging ultrasound appointment for little D, I had to do a little bribing with a new game if she was a good girl. She cried and was afraid for much of it (understandably when a complete stranger is pushing a foreign object on your belly for 20 minutes) But, she laid still and didn't jump off the table or anything, so to Target we went. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was prepared for a splurge on a game she probably wouldn't play much...whatever looked fun at that moment is what she would surely pick. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, to my surprise she ended up picking a princess memory matching game that she had noticed in my classroom months before. We never even got to play it in my classroom, but she certainly remembered it. So $5 later we had the princess game. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm happy (I think) to report that we play this game at least twice a night...on weekends, probably much more than that. She even enjoys playing it by herself and she has a much better memory than Daren or I! </div>

Funny story to share... (Well, if you ask Danika it's not funny)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This morning we had a brief thunderstorm and Danika was playing in her bedroom. When I heard a very loud bang I went in to check on her and noticed she was hiding under her bed. When I asked her if she was OK she said in a crying voice "Mom, something growled at me! I think it was a lion!" (referring to the thunder) :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I felt sad she was so upset by it, I also laughed hysterically at how serious she was that she was certain she heard a lion! </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
One last thing... Thought I'd share a cute video of Danika putting on a show in the yard that I had mentioned in last week's post. She is kind of far away and difficult to hear, but if you really tune in you can get the gist of her 'performance'. The grand finale is a big 'NO' when she notices I'm videoing her:)</div>

Where did baby Haddie go? So after the 1 year mark children are referred to as 'toddlers', but this kid has truly turned into a full blown toddler in the last week or two. Her latest and greatest new thing is climbing...on EVERY. SINGLE. THING. If it has height, she thinks she can climb it. Chairs, stools, steps, you name it. The trouble is she doesn't quite get the getting down part yet, so we've taken a few tumbles. There is a video of the picture below. Haddie pushed the basket towards the window and then kept climbing up to look out the window.</div>

Her 2nd 'big' girl thing is that she is rockin' the spoon and fork at mealtime! She would much prefer her fingers still, but if I point to it on her tray or scoop the food onto it, she is great at picking it up and getting the food in her mouth without tipping it upside down 1st! </div>

Saturday I took the girls to the Doll & Pet Parade downtown EC- We braved the crazy cold and wind and someone was not too excited about it at first... </div>

Danika is also growing and changing before my eyes. When I look at her deeply when we are having a conversation I still can't believe that she's ours and wonder where the last 3 years went! She seems so much more grown up to me lately and she has become so intellectual in her thinking and asks so many questions. Even though we still go head to head once in a while, I can tell she is maturing and is (a little) more rationale and reasonable when she does get upset or have a fit. She has been talking about school a lot and refers to herself as a preschooler:) She keeps asking when she can ride a school bus! She would tell you that she is "An artist, a nut, a preschooler, and a big sister" :) Love it</div>

Danika, our little rock star, loves to go to the top the hill in our backyard and many times she just talks to herself or whatever imaginary something she has with her (I know my family is thinking 'little Jamie' on that one...yes it's true, I had 3 imaginary friends when I was little. Friend, Jenny, and Cousin:) Super original names, I know!)</div>

Aside from the cold, windy, candy filled parade on Saturday, we spent time painting flower pots for the Grandmas. Danika (The artist) was really into this activity. Usually 10-20 minutes is the max for any given activity, but we spent a good hour or so straight on our pots. </div>

I woke up early on Mother's Day and Daren gifted me with watching the girls so I could go for a run...SO enjoyable to get an outside, early morning run- it was like my therapy and a great way to start the day. Then it was a bit of a hectic morning getting packed for Sunday school and our afternoon picnic, so we had the breakfast of champions, McDonald's on the way to church:)</div>

My family used to always get together at a park in Redwing on Mother's Day when I was young and then we had quite a few years where we didn't do anything at all...Last year we started the tradition again and it was just as great this year. Although it was a bit cold and windy, having so many kids they had a BLAST playing together. It makes me sad we don't get to see them more often:/</div>

Hopefully everyone reading this had a fabulous day celebrating their mothers, or got celebrated as one! I know I felt very loved and blessed on Mother's Day, and really if I would just take the time to slow down and reflect, each and every day truly is a blessing...and again, this momma has the BEST little Llama's! And the day wouldn't have been complete, or even possible with out two of the greatest momma's, my grandma and my mom. I have them to thank for helping me become the woman and mom I am today, and I love them more than words can express! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you are growing up you don't always understand just how hard they work or what a 'job' it is being a mom...for me I truly didn't grasp the sacrafices my mom made for us kids, and it's only now that I'm a parent that I realize just how amazing she is! Not sure I tell her that enough...</div>

...and the blog wouldn't be complete without a shout-out to my mother in law as well. Her warmth and love shines through in all that she does for Daren & I and especially when she is with her grandchildren. Daren is the wonderfully, kind hearted, giving person he is today as a grown-man because of his momma! I treasure those qualities in him and have you to thank:)</div>

Danika had a blast and even stayed interested for the whole movie, which was impressive for a 3 year old at all, but especially because the movie wasn't her 1st choice. She has really been asking to watch <em>The Lion King</em>, but all of my movies from when I was a kid are on VHS and all we have is a DVD player. No Redbox had it when we went to Target to get it, all they had left was the blue-ray version... (and I wasn't sure she could handle the scary parts anyway) She could NOT decide on another movie. Of course, she spotted the Dora collection, but much to her disappointment I squashed that idea. I know, mean mom! 1.) because she already has about 8 Dora movies, and 2.) because we wanted more of something we would all enjoy. We tried to talk about how Dora is more of a short show and we wanted a movie for the whole family. I settled on a classic, <em>Charlotte's Web</em> and thought she would enjoy it. I tried to tell her all about the farm animals and she was not convinced she'd like it...eventually, mom won the battle and talked her into it after elaborating on a few more details (the good ones of course, not the sad parts) Long story short...she loved it! </div>

Another fun part of our weekend was going to the Mall of America- The girls would probably say shoe shopping was not so much fun, but in the end the waiting was worth it because Danika got to go on 2 rides....of course she picked the Merry-go-round. For her second choice, this was a little trickier. At 1st she said the roller coaster (as in, the one that goes upside down about 6 times!) when I told her she was too little she was a little disappointed, but quickly got over it and chose the Diego bus ride that was also kind of like a mini coaster:)</div>

And as you can see, there aren't any pictures from this past week because back to work and daycare unfortunately means the camera doesn't get pulled out nearly as often as it should! The girls did start swimming lessons the week of Spring break, so hopefully I can snap a picture of that this week to share! </div>

Who is Haddie Grace Dummer?!?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is currently not a walker...she is nearly a runner! She just goes, and goes, and goes, and then goes so more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is generally the happiest baby (when she's not hungry or tired that is) She has a smile on her face nearly ALL the time...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has to have her thumb and blanky to sleep, and she's usually out in about 2 minutes with that combination:)</div>
She tossed the bottle like a champ and is now completely on cow's milk and only uses sippy cups!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She <strong><em>LOVES</em></strong>: Her independence, clinging to mom and dad, playing with her sister, baby dolls, making noise with objects, making new noises with her mouth, eating ALL the time (seriously, she's hungry about 5 minutes after we finish a meal or snack!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She <strong><em>DISLIKES</em></strong>: when Danika sits on her... (Really, it happens more than you'd think!) & when you take something away from her, getting her diaper changed, getting buckled in the carseat, and waiting for food! (pretty much anything that takes away her independence:)</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At her 1 year check up she was about average (between the 50-60th percentile) for both her height and weight. She is now 21 pounds...she has tripled her birth weight!</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A look back at the Hadster...</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Born at 4:52am on March 16th, 2012. She weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 20 inches long</div>

We are SO blessed and grateful everyday for the amazing life and children that God has blessed us with! There are definitely hard minutes and it's no doubt a 'job', but I wouldn't trade one single tantrum, messy pants, exhausted night, or the tornado that's called house these days for any of it!</div>

Ready or not....we've got another walker in the house! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the last 3-4 days, Haddie just decided she's ready to walk! She went from crawling crazy fast everywhere, to taking just a few steps here and there this week, to all out walking by Friday! It's crazy how she just stands herself up in the middle of the floor and goes! There is a video at the end of the blog this week of our little mover in action:)</div>

She has started to really become attached to her blanket...we only let her have it in her crib or car during a nap/bedtime, but if she spots it, she wants it and immediately starts sucking her thumb. Personally, I think it's absolutely adorable, but I hope she grows out of it before she goes to kindergarten:)</div>

This was the last day of daycare for her 2 best gal pals, sisters Anna and Allie. Allie and Danika are only 5 weeks apart and have been going to Amy's house together since they were just a few months old. As most 2/3 year olds, they have a love-hate relationship and usually spend most of their time arguing over toys, but overall, Danika really loved her time with both of them... </div>

Well last week, they moved to Minnesota:( Danika had a really out of sorts week because it is SUCH a big change for her at daycare. There are lots of little kiddos, and 1 boy who is a little older than her to play with, but no doubt she has been missing her BFF's!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today we got lucky and they came to town one last time to clean house, so the girls came over to play for the afternoon...</div>

I had a little time out to myself as well this weekend, thanks to daddy daycare:) On Saturday I enjoyed a brunch and baskets class with Lynn and Lori. We created a hanging basket and the gardening team at Down to Earth will nurture and take care of it until late Spring when it's 'grown-up' and beautiful:) (That's the hope anyway!)</div>

Feels like yesterday I was sitting in my grad class with some 'stomach cramps' and just a few short hours later got one of the greatest gifts of my life:) And here we are 3 years later and my little 6 pound peanut is now such a unique little person! She is beyond any expectations I ever had about what my child would be like (good and bad!) The tantrums ... <strike>a little</strike> WAY worse! But the love...more than I ever imagined possible! She is like Daren and I in many ways, but is also very much just herself, Danika Jolee Dummer! She is creative, compassionate, and a wonderful big sister:) </div>

We were able to have a few small birthday celebrations this week. The night of her birthday some of our Dummer family came over for cake and presents and on Saturday my mom, sister, & grandma came over for pizza and again, cake:) Hope she someday realizes just how lucky she is to have SO much love!</div>

The timing couldn't have been better for a snow day! I was lucky enough to have the day off thanks to 4 inches of snow:) So Danika and I had a special birthday together...we went sledding and to the Children's Museum, which she and Haddie both really enjoyed.</div>

How do they get so addicted?</em>), <strong><span style="background-color: magenta;">PINK</span><span style="background-color: magenta;">!</span></strong> art, quesadillas, blanky (as well as 5 others she has to have at bedtime), being the boss, being a helper, singing, dancing, reading, and her favorite person- her dad (surprise, surprise!)</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(I will say Daren and I were NOT fans! I tried to be 'deceptively delicious' and made a bunch of foods containing beets, these cupcakes and frosting included. Danika couldn't tell, but we could and it just didn't quite taste like a normal cupcake)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last weekend we had extra special visitors... Lori, Mike, and Miles came to spend the night. Danika was in baby heaven and was truly intrigued and a great helper with Miles. She would just sit near him and watch and talk to him, and if he started crying she would carefully put his pacifier in his mouth</div>

Danika also continues to want to help with her sister... This is where I could use a little LESS help sometimes:) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For instance, at 5:15 in the morning when Haddie wakes up crying & talking and Danika feels like it's her 'helpful' job to go in to Haddie's room and turn the lights on to greet her sister (who of course smiles her biggest smile right back at Danika:) </div>

Haddie has taken quite a few steps here and there, but she seems a bit lazy to really get at walking without support, and I'm OK with that:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her favorite thing lately is to walk from chair to chair, using her activity table on the way... she just goes from one chair, around the play table, and to the next chair and back again:)</div>

We have a special day to celebrate on Thursday in this house... yes, of course Valentine's Day like the rest of the world, but I lost that 'romantic' day for couples three years ago when a spunky little girl came into our lives! Ms. Danika is very excited this year and when I dare to take her to a store with me she finds about 50 things she says she wants for her birthday. She keeps asking 'Is it Valentine's Day yet?!?!' </div>

We had a fun week of doing activities in the house trying to stay warm! Danika helped make a cake, do some Valentine's Day art projects to decorate the house, and made homemade play dough....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My mom says she's starting to look more like me, but I'm still convinced that she is 100% a Daren copy cat, especially looking at baby pictures of Daren, but even her personality is him. Danika was more of a sassy pants from the get go, and continues to be a bit theatrical (no, really?) just like yours truly when I was younger:) But the Hadster is so mellow, and laid back with a giant smile on her face, just like her dad most of the time.</div>

So back to the Danika Home-anika (a.k.a Becky Homecky)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has been very interested in being a helper and has a bit more focus to help from start to finish with things, so I decided that this bitterly cold week would be a good one to have some fun in the kitchen. </div>

Since Haddie isn't quite at the cooking/artist/helper phase of life yet, she just roams around getting into mischief these days...her newest favorite activity is to find the wipes, NO MATTER where I <em>think</em> I've hidden the container, she finds it, and pulls every. single. wipe. Then if I still haven't caught her, she proceeds to try and put them in her mouth. I'm onto her little game though and ruining all her fun! (Except when I get the camera <em>before</em> I take them away:)</div>

Today we made some play dough for my classroom and as an added 'helper' bonus, we made extra for her to keep at home and I let her choose the color. I'll give you 1 guess the color she picked? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What's that? You think Pink? WOW how did you guess:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was told when I put the food coloring in that it wasn't pink enough, so we had to mix a bit more coloring and kool-aid to get the right color. The cherry on top, well actually the glitter on top, was getting to put pink glitter in the play dough too!</div>

I thought I better blog a little, but as I'm sitting here ready to upload, I realize I have 1 picture from our entire week...yep, just 1.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Having a Packer party with Grandma Lynn and Grandpa at the farm- Although it didn't seem to be very luck for the Pack did it?!?!<br />
<br />
</div>
<div align="center">
Oh wait...don't see a picture? As I've been trying to upload the ONE picture for 20 minutes, I decided to give up so I guess you get none:)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The time just gets away from me and I don't get out my camera as often as I want or should. </div>
<div align="center">
So I thought since I don't have much to blog about and we're getting way too close to Danika's 3rd birthday (how did that happen?!?!) I would share a few of her latest and greatest quotes. I usually write down the funny things she says in her baby book, but it's hard to keep up these days. She is really mocking what she hears around her either from us, or other kids at daycare. Luckily, it's funny coming from an almost 3 year old:)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
"I can't <em>believe</em> it!"</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
"It's not fair"</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
"Coooome ooooon!"</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
When I told her we were going to watch my nephew wrestle at a wrestling match she very confidently replied back to me "<em>Then it's you and me's turn to wrestle 'cause I'm strong" :)</em></div>
<div align="center">
<em></em> </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
"Is it for we (us)?"</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
"Mom/Dad, just stop"</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
"Hey, what's going on here?"</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
As you know from previous posts Danika is very into imaginative play, especially with her babies. While changing her babies diaper she said "Oh baby, that's <em>disgusting</em>!" </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
She never seems to surprise us anymore:) </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Well, that's the short and sweet blog for the week- </div>
<div align="center">
Time for me to get something done around this house! Daren is in Iowa this week for work so I'm doing the single mom thing...wish me luck:)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Happy New Year!</div>
