Baby #2

Keelie is going to have a little sister!

Congrats to Joe!

I just wanted to give Joe a shout out for getting his masters degree and passing his AEPA test which is the state certification to become a principal! He worked so hard taking classes while working and coaching and still graduated with distinction! I love you Joe! Thanks for working so hard!

Christmas 2009

We had a very fun Christmas this year. We tried to teach Keelie what Christmas is really about. If you ask her whose birthday is on Christmas she will say Jesus! I think thats pretty good for a 2 year old! We didn't take very many pictures, but here are a few:
Hailee, Keelie, and Kendal in their matching Christmas pj's from grandma Brenda. This was on Christmas Eve.

Keelie opening her presents. Luckily she just had her b-day and got tons of toys, so we just got her a few things.

I know this bike is way to big for her, but when she saw it a few weeks ago, the look on her face was priceless, so we decided to give it to her for Christmas. (one of Joes co-workers offered it to us, so we took it knowing she wouldn't be able to actually ride for a few years.) She loves it when Joe pushes her around on it.

Happy Birthday Keelie!!

Today is Keelie's 2nd birthday! Doesn't she look so cute in her princess dress! Sometimes I have to tell her things are "princess" so that she will wear them. She was excited to wear this though. Until we got to church and she said "I don't like this dress!" and tried to take it off! I don't think she is a fan of sleeves that are that length. Oh well, she still is gorgeous!

We had a birthday party for her yesterday at our house. It was so fun! She had a ton of cousins over and they just played hard for a few hours. I am pretty proud of myself too. The only thing we spent money on for her party was for the cake and ice cream, oh and her present (obviously). We used decorations we already had, I stole the scrapbook paper from my mom to make the sign you see in the picture below, and we borrowed the bounce house from my grandparents. Keelie had so much fun!

Bouncing in the bounce house

Blowing out her candles. I know I look retarded in this picture, but this is the better one of the two we had.

Opening presents

Playing with her castle house, as she calls it, that me and Joe got her.

Keelie was very spoiled this year! Thanks to everyone who could make it!

Pictures with Santa

I went with my sisters Brittney and Cara to the mall to get pictures with Santa. I think the group one turned out pretty cute!

My little scaredy cat of daughter did not like Santa. We have been telling her for weeks how nice Santa is and how he is going to bring her toys. Obviously it didn't work cuz she freaked out!

It was so cute, Keelie and Hailee held hands while we walked through the mall.

Keelie LOVES babies. She wanted to hold baby Johnny so bad. She is going to be the best big sister!

November

These are the only pictures I've taken this past month so this is what I'm posting about. A few weeks ago my whole family did an Alzheimers walk for my Grandma Taylor. I didn't get a picture of all of us together though, I think they said there were 75 of us!
Here is my immediate family, minus my dad, Steph and her fam, Cara and her fam, and Randy.

Keelie and Kendals shirts were so big on them but so cute!

Our family

These are the only pictures from Thanksgiving and Joe was the one who took them. Keelie and Kate had so much fun on the trampoline. Keelie was on there for atleast an hour, sometimes with cousins and sometimes by herself. We might need to get one for our backyard one of these days!

Is it already November?

Wow, I didn't do one post in the month of October. I usually do atleast one post a month. I have an excuse though. We finally moved! It is so nice having more room, a backyard (with a swing), and a garage! We love it! If anyone wants to come see it, give me a call! We love having guests. I swear every night Joe wants to invite people over for dinner. (We are still looking for renters for our condo).
And my second is excuse is that I'm PREGNANT! I am 11 weeks, my due date is May 25. I was waiting to announce it on here cuz I wanted to do something cute and creative, but I'm not a cute and creative person, so maybe next time. Eventhough I feel a little more sick this time than with Keelie, I can't really complain. I still have never thrown up. If I feel a little nausous, I just eat something and then I feel better. For a little while there it would be like every hour, that is why I have already gained 5 lbs. But I am already feeling SO much better. We are so excited!
Here are some random pictures from throughout the month.

One day Keelie randomly started pulling her shirt up over head and then look at herself in the mirror. We would just crack up at her, and so she knew she was being funny so she kept doing it. What a silly girl!

Keelie just being cute!

When Keelie is naughty we make her stick her nose in the corner for time out. It works, she will stay there until I tell her to come out. It is so cute though, I had to take a picture.


I wasn't very good at taking pictures on Halloween. I didn't even get an individual shot of Keelie in her costume. Here she is with some of her cousins at gma and gpa Goodmans. She was a cute little bee!

Family picture.


We tried to get a picture with all the grandkids, but Keelie seriously freaked out when she saw all the older kids costumes. She just clinged to me so tight! What a little scaredy cat!

We took her trick or treating to a few houses which I think she really had fun doing. Then we came home to hand out candy to trick or treaters. I wish I would have gotten a picture of Keelie sitting and staring at the bowl of candy. We wouldn't let her have any cuz she had already had alot of candy that night, so she sat with her face about 3 inches away just staring at the candy cuz she wanted it so bad. It was so funny!
