We are HERE!!

Hello Everyone!! Sorry it has been so long. We survived Christmas; it was absolutely wonderful and of course the best Christmas we have ever had because we had Kylee with us. I will just hit the highlights of all the celebrations.

We went to Sweetwater for my mom's side of the family, and on the way down there we stopped in Bronte to get the kids something to drink. My mom, Brianne, and I were all like we need a little Dr. Pepper to split. We just wanted a few sips. Well, Jason came back to the car with this.....

It was a 64OZ Dr. Pepper!!! Needless to say, we didn't drink all of it!!

Here is a picture of Kylee in her First Christmas outfit with my cousin Andrew. She wore it alot.

Christmas morning we had a real quick family Christmas. Santa did come and brought Kylee a baby doll, blanket, and a Busy Zoo toy thing. She didn't care!! :) But my mom growing up always made something for us that came from Santa. For example, if we got a kitchen, she made us aprons. So she made Kylee and Addi matching blankets for their baby dolls. They are really cute. You can barely see it in the picture.

Kylee with her cousins. She already loves them and likes being around them.

We attended a lot more Christmas celebrations, but I don't have pictures from them, so I won't bore you with all the detaiils.

More to come: Kylee's Dedication at Church

First Official Basketball Game to Ref

WOW....some much to catch you up on!!

Where has the week gone? I feel like I have been running around with my head cut off all week, and next week is already Christmas. I can't wait. Here comes a really long post!!

Sunday night at church, Santa came. I told Jason this maybe the only year she will sit on his lap without crying for a while.

Then all week, we have been running to town to get some last minute Christmas gifts. I had kind of forgotten that I needed gifts for all the Chinese exchanges we do.

Wednesday night I went to the Referee Meeting at ASU. I was really embarrassed walking in there because I recognized so many of them from over the years, and especially last year when I coached at Christoval. The reason to be embarrassed: I yelled a lot!! :) Nothing personal, just yelled a lot. Imagine that!! Anyways, I guess it is official, I will ref starting in January, but this will only last about a month. Yay, I need to start pumping religiously!!

Thursday Night, Jason's sister came home from Chicago!! This was the first time she got to see Kylee, so we all went to the airport to meet her!! It was very exciting!! Didn't get any pictures of that though.


Friday Night, we had Addi's 3rd Birthday Party!! I can't believe it's been 3 years already!! It feels like yesterday, we were up at the hospital ALL NIGHT waiting for her to come. She was born at 4AM!! We love that little girl SOOOOOO MUCH!! Here are lots of pictures from the party!!

Friends!!

Karter enjoying the box!!

Paw-Paw and Grandmama got her a saddle!! And we got her the backback, and she got new pink boots!! She had to wear the boots with the saddle. Of course!!!

Church Christmas Banquet 08

We had our church Christmas banquet tonight. I really enjoy it for many reasons; one of the reasons is Jason dresses very nice for it!!

My husband is sexy!!

Duane and Brianne. Now, I haven't gotten my husband to wear a sports coat, but maybe one day soon. :)

And Kylee managed to get her picture taken by her daddy. Imagine that!!

SLEPT ALL NIGHT!!

Yep!! That's right. Kylee slept through the night last night. I fed her at 8:30, and we put her in bed about 9:30. And she cried one time in the night, so I put the pacifier in, and noticed she was turned on her side. She didn't make another peep. And woke up at 7:30 this morning. The past 2 nights she goes gotten herself turned to her side, I guess that is okay. Also, I feel like her last feeding before she goes to bed needs to be later, so she will sleep longer. Any suggestions on how to get the last feeding to be around 9:30 or 10. I need to get my Baby Wise book out.

Another exciting thing.

Yesterday, I was at McAllister's eating lunch and I sat down and looked around and I noticed this guy looked familiar so I smiled. Well before I could process were I knew him from, he had jumped up and came to our table. Anyways, he is in charge of scheduling the Basketball Officials for all the basketball games surrounding San Angelo. He had remembered me from Christoval last year, and said if your interested you could come ref for me 1 night a week. He said he was desperate!! So I said well, I'll talk to my husband about and see. By the time I got home, I really think I am interested. I mean it doesn't make good money, and people and coaches yell at you. Why would I like this? I don't know it just interests me. Maybe because I would get out of the house a little bit, and maybe I miss the coaching world a little bit, and maybe I could make a little bit of money. Who knows? I'll keep you posted.

LOOK WHAT I FOUND.....

About 3 weeks ago, I was randomly looking through the ads at my Grandmother's house and saw a little kids rocker at Big Lots and it was made out of Kylee's Nursery Material!! I was so excited. Well, with not having a lot of experience with Big Lots, I went into the store the next day and showed them the ad, and they didn't have it and they never know what they will be getting off the truck. And you can not order furniture online.

Anyways, over the past few weeks I would randomly go in there to see if they had it. Well, I went in this morning and they had 2 actually!!! I was so excited!!

She seems to like it!!

And she started falling in the chair, since she really can't sit up by herself, but I thought she looked sweet!!

Picture Update

We have got the house decorated for Christmas. The tree in the living room. It is decorated with bright colored balls and silver.

Kylee's Christmas Tree in her room. And I am still going to make a tree skirt for her. :) I know; I'm a loser.

I got in my uppercase living order, and applied them to the wall in the guest bathroom (Kylee bathroom). They are animals: hippo, giraffe, lion, elephant, and turtle.

I think they turned out really cute. Hopefully they are not crooked.

YES, we are Here!!

WOW!! It has been a fast a furious week! Now, is really the first time I have had a chance to blog!! I have been faithfully reading all of yours though!!

We mananged to see all the families over Thanksgiving, and eat turkey and dressing at least 4 times, maybe more!! But best of all was seeing the family!!

Mom and I did go shopping Friday. We left the house at 5:30, and went to Target, Walgreens, Family Christian, Mall, Wal-mart, Chick-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby, and back to Target. We got home at 3:30!! Poor Kylee was probably exhausted, but she did great!! She is a BIG Shopper!! :)

The tree is up and decorated, I just need to put the finishing touches on it today, so I can get all the Christmas boxes out.

My Grandmother came in ONE afternoon and completely finished the quilt!! She stayed 3 hours. She is awesome!!

We have ordered Christmas pictures and Christmas cards!! Yeah!! Hopefully they turn out cute!
