The fort building begins! Kaylee had a blast with Daddy building their fort!







I also had some REALLY cute photos of Kaylee painting, but some how they were lost on the camera!!!! Very sad about that! She loved painting! We are going to have to paint again really soon!!!!

Flying by in February!

Before I know it the month of February will be over. Where has the time gone and why haven't I been keeping up with the blog. No reason really! Just been lazy I suppose or wait a minute it might be because we are in full force two year old mode!!! Yes I believe are sweet almost 20 month old is entering that stage! I think some people may call it the terrible twos! I on the other had find it really funny to see what she will come up with next and how can she get in trouble this time. She is definitely testing Dan and I! Funny at times yes....but not so much funny after about the third time! Oh the joys of parenting!

Happenings this month:
-visited Nana and Papa
-went to the Brownsville Zoo
-valentines day!
-moms group
-home teams (having a great time and learning lots...will have to post about this in another post!)
-lunch dates with friends

If you haven't checked out our photo site I updated that a couple of weeks ago!

The Hole in Our Gospel

Wednesday was the kick off to our new hometeam group! We will miss our old group! We really made some great friendships but some moved away, others have some family things going on, and times to meet were not good for some. We found ourselves signing up for a new group! There were about nine couples that attended. We hit it off really well with everyone. Some have small children, are teachers, stay at home moms, and some share a love for the outdoors just like Dan! We are very grateful because the mom and dad of the couple hosting come over and watch all of the kids. Such a blessing! Our study for the next seven weeks will be to the book, "The Hole is Our Gospel"! The whole church was encouraged to get connected in a hometeam and do this study. People listened and hometeams have doubled! I am very excited to see what this study has in store for us individually and has a whole church!



I will get back to you on how next week hometeam goes! We will be discussing Chapter 1 and 2!

Movie Time!

Dan and I took Kaylee to her first movie at the theater! We made it through the WHOLE movie! WOOOHOOOO Kaylee!!! The movie choice was Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakuel! We had some yummy popcorn which Kaylee loved and of course some skittles. It was a cute movie with some adult humor. Thankfully Kaylee is to young to get it!

And she finds it....

The lovely kid cart at Krogers! It is amazing it took her this long! I needed a few items so I knew the trip would not take that long so I gave in and let her "drive" the cart. Of course while the cart was in movement she attempted to get out a few times. All it took was me saying sit on your bottom or your out! So does this mean she is going to remember this cart the next we go to the store? We shall see!

My very happy child saying, "CHEEEEESSSSSEE!"

Happy New Year!

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season! We sure did! Lots of family time and way to much food! We had an amazing Christmas Eve service at church. Kaylee made it through the whole service! We had to take her into the worship building because there was no childcare. She loved the music and the candle lighting, and when she got antsy out came the snacks! When then had a wonderful Christmas eve with the Schwartz family. Kaylee had a lot of fun playing with cousin Curtis, and I had a blast holding sweet baby Nicholas. We had some yummy Chicago pizza (Dan's favorite)! After a fun evening we came home and prepared for Santa's arrival. Christmas morning was spent with just our little family. After opening presents we headed to my sister's to spend Christmas day with the Wood family! Fun was had by all! Thanks to cousin Aaron getting so many nerf guns for Christmas we were able to have a nerf gun war! Very fun! The next few days were spent resting up and more family time(Thanks Heather and Stephen for coming into town for a visit!). unfortunately my mom and I had to fly down to the valley for a night to attend two funerals. A very close friend of mine mother's passed away and my great aunt. It was a very long and sad day. Luckily Dan was off so Kaylee and him stayed home and had some great father/daughter time. They went and fed the ducks together. Kaylee decided she needed to taste the bread before she gave it to the ducks. Oh that girl! She is definitely keeping us busy. She comes up with something new everyday! We had her 18th month check up today. She is doing wonderful and growing like a weed. Well I hope you all have gotten back your normal routine. We sure have! We will start up with MOMS group again on Friday. So excited! Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Christmas Parade

This past Saturday was the San Benito Christmas parade. Things sure don't change in a small town!!! The parade was just as I remembered it!! It was so much fun to share this little tradition with Kaylee!
