Fall/Pumpkin Patch

We're still here!

So I'm not the best at keeping up with our blog....but we've been a little busy since we posted last! We've built a new house that we have now been in for about 7 weeks, taken a couple of trips, and also...we're having another baby! That's right...Katie will be a big sister in March! And we just found out today that it is going to be another little GIRL! Jason is definately going to be outnumbered....he may have to get another boy dog to even things out (j/k..that's just what we need is another dog!)Katie is getting so big, and she talks non-stop! She loves to sing (all the time) and her favorite songs right now seem to be the ABC song, This Little Light of Mine, and Jesus Loves Me. She is going to her same little preschool 2 days a week, which lets me run errands and get a few things done without her-not that I don't LOVE taking her places! Ha! She cracks us up with the things she says and right now she thinks my belly button is her portal to the new baby! Apparently, you can talk to and tickle a baby inside it's mother if you speak directly into or tickle the belly button! So cute!

Katie also got to go to her first Razorback football game with Jason! I thought they would last maybe half of the first quarter, but they stayed until the 4th! Then, while they were walking back to the car (which apparently was very far away!) Jason asked Katie if she would walk for a while. Katie told him NO! She was tired! So cute!

I am going to try and do a better job of blogging more than every 6 months....but we'll see!

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Easter!

He is Risen!

We had a wonderful Easter! Jason's Mom & Dad arrived in town the Thursday night before Easter. They have not seen Katie in person since she was about 9 months old! We went to church Sunday morning and it was wonderful, then we all went over to my parent's house for a big lunch and for the easter egg hunt....but we decided that next year we will do a dinner and after-nap-egg-hunt! Katie & Mason were a little tired and cranky by the time we finished everything and it was waaay past nap time!

I got a new camera and I love it! It is a Nikon D-3000 and I am trying to figure out how to use it...it has a great auto mode, but it can do so many other things and I think I may take a class to figure it out!

We are waiting for the arrival of our newest nephew....Baby Thomas will be here any day & I know Wendy & Mark are ready to meet him! We all are!

Happy Second Birthday Katie!

I blew out my candles all by myself!

I love my new Max & Ruby book!

My new Max & Ruby dolls!

Today is Katie's second birthday! I can NOT believe she is 2! She is getting to be such a big girl and can do so many new things! Last night we made sugar cookies to take to her class today-she helped with the sprinkles and did an excellent job! Then when I picked her up, we went to play at a local church that has a huge, three story playground! Mason, McKinley, and Aunt Julie met us over there. Then we had Chick-fil-a for dinner (of course) and finished up with cake, ice cream and presents at home! We are having our Dora birthday party on Saturday, so tonight it was just our little family!

Snow Day!

Well, we have had an interesting couple of weeks! Katie has had pneumonia AND the stomach bug over the last two weeks! She has been such a trooper! She really only felt bad for a couple of days when she had pnuemonia, but it was awful having to take her to the doctor twice with 102-103 fever (the first time I took her she was acting fine and running around-just had 102!), having a chest xray and lab work, antibiotics for 10 days, and then when she finally felt better and started getting her appetite back, she got the stomach bug for 12 hours! At least it was a short bug and Jason & I didn't get it!

We have had so much snow/ice this year! This week it was mostly snow, so we bundled Katie up and took her outside for a few minutes to play! She loved it! We took lots of pictures and videos, so it was great! Hope everyone is doing well and having a great 2010 so far!
