A little update....

Well, we are finally wrapping this year up and we have been quite busy in doing so. Kevin and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on the 17th. I can't believe it has been 3 years already! Olivia and Julia can't wait for Santa to come see them. Olivia keeps asking when is Christmas going to be here and it's hard to explain to her exactly what "next week" means! :) She can't wait for Santa to bring her that Barbie Jeep she wants! Julia is growing like a little weed and is sooooooo on the go! She definetly keeps us busy! I had to take her to the doctor the other day and she weighs 19lbs 11oz (with clothes on) so give or take a few ounces. Tomorrow she will be 9 months old! WOW! This will be her very first Christmas and we just can't wait! She walks around holding onto things so it won't be long. She absolutely loves playing with Olivia and they play so well together. After Christmas, we are heading to New Mexico to spend some time with B-Paw and Grandma (Kevin's dad and Sherry). We can't wait to see them since it's been over 2 years. They say that they are getting a lot of snow so that's all Olivia can talk about. We get back on the 8th of January, so I'll be sure to post a lot of pictures once we get back. I just finished up school about a week ago for this semester and may I add that I made a 4.0!!!! YAY ME!!! In all of my college career I have never made a 4.0 so I'm pretty thrilled about it. I changed my major from Early Childhood to Special Education so I will hopefully be finished in a year.

We hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and remembers the TRUE meaning of Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Please pray that we have a safe trip to New Mexico!

Happy 3 year anniversary to us!

Well, here are the Halloween pictures I promised to put up. They did not turn out quite like I was hoping they would. I had to take them on a disposable camera and apparently it did something funky with everyone's eyes....so sorry they aren't very good.

Olivia and one of her best buds, Carson

Princess Aurora

We went to the Trick or Trunk at a church down the street from where we live.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Meeting Santa!

Yes, it's a little early for Santa but he's here! They have already started having Santa at the Landings (a strip mall), carriage rides and a lot more on the weekends. Olivia was very nervous, but she was brave and sat on his lap and then told him that she wants a Barbie Jeep for Christmas! Julia of course did fine. She's my little trooper. She just giggled in his lap and knawed on her fingers.

New Kids on the Block!

For my 25th birthday, I gave myself a ticket to the New Kids on the Block concert in Atlanta. It's was a BLAST and I must say the best concert I've ever been to! I went with my friend, Kristin and we were able to meet up with Lindsey and Jennifer. We had the BEST seats...so so close to those gorgeous guys! :) It felt great to get out and do something with the girls and be able to let our hair down and go out without having food, spit up and everything else we have on us on a daily basis! :) We tried so hard to get backstage, but next time we will know how! I told Kevin that he could just say that he gave me that as a present and he said that he refused to give me anything related to them! lol! (boys are just so jealous!) He knows he listened to "Hangin' Tough" back in the day! lol! Anyways, we had a great time!

Okie, Ally & Addison's visit!

Okie came to visit his girls for a few weeks so they came to Columbus and had dinner with us. It's always good to see them and the girls just have such a good time playing with each other. Addison turned 9 months on the 9th and Julia is now 7 1/2 months! :)

Celebrating my 25th birthday...mexican, margaritas, friends & family...can't get any better than that! :)
