A Visit with Santa!

It's the most wonderful time of the year... Time to visit Santa! Kailyn didn't do too bad. She wasn't particularly thrilled. She was a little scared. I'm just glad she didn't scream and cry. I think Hannah helped to keep K from crying.
Hannah is so funny. I always tell her to be ready with a smile. As you can see, she is doing just that.

Next, a few more pictures in the mall.

K wasn't interested in sitting for a picture with her sister. She just wants to go...go...go.

(Notice Hannah's smile, always ready for the picture)

I know, I know...just one more picture for mommy?

Please???

Thanksgiving Day

Here are just a few pics from our day. I have to apologize that I forgot my camera half way thru the day. So I don't have pictures of all the festivities:( I'm sorry.

Our first stop was to visit Grandpa. He is doing well & looking good. He wants to come home. (I'm sure I would too) I'm saying prayers daily that one day soon he is able to...

...After visiting my Gramp, we had Mom & Dad Keicher over for a lite lunch:)

Then we were off...

Next stop, mom & dads for dinner. A few quick pictures before we eat.

Someone is very excited in this picture. Guess who?
Always enjoying an opportunity to update the
4 generation picture!
Here is a "Great" Grandma with her "Great" Granddaughter's!


After our dinner we were able to head home and put Kailyn down for a little nap...
...Our next stop was Aunt Florence's. It was good seeing everyone even if for just a short time before we headed off to...
...Chris & Liz's for dessert. There were many yummy desserts to choose from. I enjoyed some apple pie and pumpkin cheese cake:) Unfortunately my niece, Emily, had gone down for the night just before we arrived:( We did get enjoy watching some recent videos of her. Can you believe she'll be 6 months old on Tuesday??

I think at the end of our busy day, I can speak for all of us when I say that we were all very happy to see our beds.
Hope your day was a special as ours!!

What I am Thankful for

I am thankful for so many things...A Great Husband / Daddy...
Hannah Marie...
Our Thanksgiving Day Feast...

and Kailyn Rose.

Just to name a few!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my wonderful friends and family. Thinking of all the things I am truly thankful for, the easiest way to put it is: "I am thankful for God, for his love and for all that he has given me and blessed me with". I wish for you a day filled with family & love. Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day Feast!

Family Swim

Congrats Hannah at completing level II of swimming. It was lots of fun to watch her jump into the deep end with no problem!! She is a fish. The last day of the program is "Family Swim". It's more or less an open swim for all. Brian joined Hannah in the pool. Here is a picture of our friend Ryan with Bri & Hannah.

A big thanks to Mom & Dad M. for watching Kailyn so that I didn't have to chase her around tonight:) Kailyn doesn't sit still for too long anymore.

Another big thanks to Mom & Dad K. for coming to watch Hannah and Bri in the pool;)

Pizza Night

Today I thought it would be nice to have pizza for dinner. Homemade pizza:)

So, when Hannah got home from school we were all ready to get started.First we had to roll the dough.
Then spread on some sauce.

Next we decided to keep one with just cheese. The other had peperoni on half and mushrooms. Yummy!!!!

A quick smile for the camera...Come & get it. Oh and I can't forget the dessert...

...Apple crisp:)

I'm a Big Kid Now!!

It's official. We are approaching day #6 without a bottle!! Out with the bottle...In with the cup & straw. For a few weeks now Kailyn was taking her bottle only at night before bedtime. She was probably ready to do without it then, however, I think I was the one having the harder time parting with it. My baby is no longer a baby:( She is doing great! Doesn't miss it one bit!!


More milk please??

What's next??? The potty???

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary...Happy Anniversary...Happy Anniversary

Happy 39th Anniversary!!!

-Mom & Dad-

Congrats on 39 years!!!

Here's to the next 39:)

Thank you for including us in on your anniversary dinner plans!

Love you guys!!

Happy Halloween

Halloween was a big deal in our house this year. This was the first year that we stayed home to trick or treat in our neighborhood instead of traveling around to visit family. After thinking about it I realized that in 6 years Hannah has never "officially" gone trick or treating! So the four of us headed out. 1st stop, next door. The girls were greeted first by Nicole, then the rest of the family headed to the door to check out Sharpay & my Pumpkin:)
We got in about 1/2 hour of treating before I headed back to the house with K. That is where her & I stayed to hand out our treats. Hannah and Brian met up with some friends down the street. All in all, a successful evening. Hope yours was too!!

Carving the Pumpkin

Daddy carving the top of the pumpkin!!
