Happy Blogiversary to Me!

Today is the One Year Anniversary of my blog!!!!

I must admit, I'm so glad I started it and I've kept up with it. For me it's like a diary that I can share with the world. I'm so proud of my family and beautiful children, and blogging is my way of showing it :)

Last week I read every entry and I realized how far our new family has come.

Everyone/everything has changed so much since we got married and had Kaitlyn. It's all been so absolutely amazing and wonderful!

Now onto next year...

This next year we hope to finally buy a house!!! I feel like a house will finally make us complete as a family. Wish us luck!!! I've kinda been looking for the past year and I think we've narrowed down what we want, at this point we'll just have to see what we can get for what we can afford.

I also hope to loose some weight again! I did so good last year and then gained about 10 lbs right back. Last year I just watched what I ate and didn't work out too much. This year, since I've already bought a gym membership, I'm going to do both, watch what I eat and work out too! The official weight reports will start within the next week. This time I need to loose all my weight and keep it off!!!

We are also praying that Dave will find a great job in the upcoming year! For those of you who don't know, Dave decided to go back to school to become an electrician in August. At that time he started a 4 year apprenticeship program. We'll be finalizing his resume within the next week and starting to send it out. Please send a prayer our way for him. As soon as he starts working again we can finally get into a house!

So sit back and buckle up, it's going to be a crazy year for us!

More December Fun!

As usual we've been pretty busy!
Sunday was my friend Katie's son Jack's 1st Birthday.
We had so much fun at the party!

Kaitlyn was all excited driving to the party.

I had to include this picture.
He looked like such a stud in his new Harley Coat,
too bad he didn't think so, lol!

Kaitlyn thought all the presents were hers

Katie and Jack
(I made the cake..check out my cake blog)

Boy does this kid love cake!
In other news, mommy did something bad
and something amazing to Kaitlyn all in one night!
Kaitlyn had her 1st Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell
(Mommy's Favorite place to eat!!!)
She LOVED it!
The same night, Kaitlyn gave up the baba!
YEAH! It took Brandon till two to give his baba up.

The best meal ever!!!!
Yesterday Papa took off work
and the kids headed over to Camp Ellman.
They had so much fun and even set up The Polar Express.
Kaitlyn was so tuckered out from all the fun!

Christmas Pics to come soon!
This should be such a wonderful Christmas for the kids.
We were blessed to be able to give them lots of gifts this year.
I hope everyone has a Very Merry Blessed Christmas!

A good little boy and a look into the future...

On December 12, 2009 Brandon made
his first confession at St. Martins...
He's been such a good boy lately too!!!
He's right in the middle with the funny look on his face

The entire group....St. Martin's is such a beautiful church!

Meanwhile Kaitlyn has gotten sooo big lately!
She has gotten such a personality,
I often wonder what the future holds
and how she'll turn out
until I see the next few pics...
and then I just get scared!

Texting away...
I'm guessing she'll want her first phone around 3 or 4

Another look I'm sure I'll get a lot when she's a teenager...

Doing the drunk walk (I better not ever see this again, lol)

It's Christmas Time!


Sooo...Cute!

Kaitlyn looks soo thrilled to be all bundled up.

The Christmas Season is here! My favorite time of year! So far we have done so much to Celebrate.
  • Had Christmas Pics taken of the kids, Check
  • Holiday Lighting Downtown, Check
  • Put the Tree up and Decorated it, Check (only 1/2 of it has ornaments this year due to Kaitlyn)
  • Decorated the House, Check (almost done, I wanna get a couple new things this year)
  • Bought Presents, Check (almost done)
Last night we all watched "A Christmas Story" and Brandon officially wants a Red Ryder Bebe Gun, lol!
Hopefully by next weekend we'll have all our decorating and shopping down. Maybe we'll even have enough time to make cookies.

I hope everyone is having as wonderful of a season as we are!
