It's time...

to start this up again huh?

I've been thinking a lot lately about starting up my personal blog again. I'm not really sure what I'm going to blog about so it may be an adventure for all of us!

Let's start out with a kid update.

Kate is almost 3 years old! I can't believe my baby girl will be 3 next month. I'm not really sure where these past few years have gone but I know they have been some of the best ever!! Kate goes to Teacher Lauri's house 2 times a week and plays with her friends. She loves it there and I'm sure it's going to be difficult come September when she starts Preschool. Kate will be starting gymnastics soon, well as soon as I sign her up which I hope will be next week! She'll be doing that 2 days a week too and come September she'll be doing their ABC 123 program too! I can't wait to get her in more of a weekly routine this fall. I know she'll love it-that's her personality.



Dylan is 6 months and such a little joy. He is certainly a mamma's boy! He also loves to sit up, play with toys, roll over to his tummy and cry and enjoys playing with his big sister. At his last appointment he weighted 18 lbs 3 oz, 26.5 in long, and his head was 45.5 cm in diameter. His sleeping is....well.....getting better. He was waking up several times at night but once he turned 6 months I decided that just had to stop! So we brought Kate's bed into our room and put Dylan to bed in his crib in their room. When he wakes up at night we let him cry it out until he falls back to sleep. The first time he cried for 45 minutes, now he cries for maybe 15 minutes. Amazingly, for the most part I don't even hear it. And if I do I can easily fall back to sleep.



Conor and I are doing great too! I'm still working at the church part time. I am also leading a Beth Moore bible study on Saturday nights. The bible study just started this past Saturday and I think it's going to be AMAZING!! Conor is still working for Steve. He really enjoys his job over there and will hopefully find us a good house to buy! *fingers crossed on that one*

Well with that I'm going to wrap this up. I'll leave you with one of my answers from my bible study homework from this past week:

"Be who you are and not who the world tells you you have to be".

So it's been awhile

Yeah yeah.....it's been a while since I posted. Lots has happened so here's a quick summary.
Kate is getting big. She's almost 19 months now and I can't believe it. She is talking lots and very active. She likes to lead the way around the house even though she doesn't know where we're going. She also enjoys helping with the laundry and putting away dishes. She is also very creative. Check out this hilarious video of her attempting to put on her boot: http://s207.photobucket.com/albums/bb80/clemmon03/Katelyn/?action=view&current=MOV01484.flv

I laugh everytime I watch it. I love how she's giggling at herself, LOL.

She has a doctors apt on Monday so I'll post stats then.

Kate Update!

Wow! It's been awhile since I've updated-sorry!!
We had Kelsy take Kate's one year pictures and she did an AMAZING JOB!!! You can't really tell in the pictures but it was pretty windy and Kate wasn't all that cooperative.

Kate is 14 months old and walks everywhere-no running yet thank goodness!!! She is drinking milk now and eats pretty much everything we do. She loves to play with her toys and also enjoys the Baby Einsteine movies. She loves going to Grandma D's house and to Nana house on the days I work. If she had her way she'd stay at their houses all day long. She has a mouthful of teeth and says Mama, DaDa, Dog, dat, jack, oe(zoey), oy(toy), oh wow, oh yeah, and whas dat.

Kate's Birthday Party

Here are some (ok a lot of!!) pictures from her birthday party. She had a fun time playing with the kids, opening presents and eating cake. Enjoy!!

Kate had a great Birthday!

I can't believe my baby girl is ONE!!

The Park, the Duck Pond and the Pool

We took Kate to the park and the duck pond. She had a fun time swinging, sliding and pointing. When we came home it was nice and warm so we decided to let Kate play in the pool for a bit.

Lastly, here is a video of Kate splashing and talking in the pool...

Kate and Auntie

Just a few actions shots of Auntie Jennie and Kate playing together. They have lots of fun!
