Cuddle bug.

Carly is such a lover girl. She would snuggle and give hugs and kisses all day long. 

Footie PJ's!

There isn't much cuter than a kid in footie jammies!

Meeting baby Kaiah.

Here are the kids at the hospital meeting their new cousin. They instantly fell in love with her. Owen sat with her in his lap for over half an hour.

We have a new addition to the family.

A GREAT BIG congratulations to my sister Jessica and and brother-in-law Tim. Their daughter Kaiah Rae was born on December 12, 2008 at 12:22 a.m. She has an older brother Mason,6, and sister Ava, 20 months. My sister had a very easy delivery, that was well deserved(her last two were anything but easy!).  Kaiah came into this world at a mere 6lbs. 0oz. and 21 inches. I got to be by her side for the delivery and it was an amazing experience. My sis did a great job and I am so very proud of her(love you Jess).

I got Inked.

I got a tattoo another yesterday! When I meet with the tattoo gal a week ago I told her I got my last tattoo about 5 years ago. Then I actually thought about it and realized it was actually 11 years ago (wow, I'm getting old). If you look closely you will see the A, O, and C within the paisley. I love paisleys. I took a couple of pictures of different paisleys to the tattoo artist and told her to put the letters in the spots there in but she did the designing from there. I love it! I especially love the mini-paisley that is in the O. It's just so tiny and cute.

Jesus is the reason for the Season!

The Christmas decorations are finally hung. Now I must finish my shopping!

20 months and Pretty in Pink.

She still does not talk but for the occasional mama and dada. Yet, I just know she is a little smarty. She loves her puzzles and books. I bet she will have lots to say when she finally starts talking.

Pretty in Purple-20 months.

She turning into such a goofy little girl. She loves to laugh and make others laugh. She is just a joy to be around!

A new take on layering.

Here is Carly with all my bathing suits and bras around her neck.

-

I don't have enough storage in my bedroom for all my things so my "not often used" undergarments and bathing suits are in a basket in my closet. Carly was rummaging through my room, and she decided to play dress up. Even funnier is that she would not let me take them off for quite some time.

My little Buckeyes.

19 months and rockin' pigtails!

My baby girl is growing up. Wipe tear.

Say Cheeze.

Here is Carly all smiles. As soon as she sees a camera she get her gorgeous face ready for the picture. We don't even have to tell her to smile anymore, she automatically does this. Now we have to tell her, "open you eyes Carly." This is priceless stuff.

Birthday Celebration.

Ryan, Owen, Carly, Rhys, Ashton
The Birthday Boy.

Owen in the tunnel slide.

Ashton showing off.

Even Carly loved it.

Here we are at Leed's Farm For Rhys' 1st birthday party. It was a great place for a birthday and our second time visiting the farm. They have so much for the kids to do. There is a huge room filled with hay and slides, a small zip line, a large sand box, a corn maze, several tunnel slides, an in ground trampoline, a hay ride, a kiddie train ride....It's great. We enjoyed some quality time with the birthday boy and all got a free pumpkin on the way out.
