Just say no to Malls!!!

Yesterday we went to the mall with some friends, man if anything could go wrong it did. When we got there we waited for the elevator for what felt like an eternity, so we desided to use JC Penny's elevator which was out of order so we used the escalator to the food court.

Then every restaurant we wanted to go to had a 15-20 minute wait. So we finally found a mexican restaurant they only had a 10 minute wait WOOPY!!! We all picked out what we wanted while waiting to be seated so we could get our food quicker. Well very long story short we waited forever for our food which wasn't that great to begin with and ended up paying $35 for appetizer sampler that we all shared, and yes I said 35!! So the bill came to $96 cuz we also got entrees, so needless to say we where not happy!!!

Oh and did I tell you there was only 3 of us, then we went to Target and the bathroom was closed. Well that's just how our day went, but atleast Katelyn enjoyed herself!!!

So here is Katelyn after that hair raising experience!!! HeHe pun so intended!!!

Standing = Freedom!

This toy is the best thing that ever happened to us, Katelyn has so much fun with and now she pulls herself up onto it and walks around it. It's really exciting to watch.


Look at that face, she's got that Nutty Professor look in her eyes!! She's so proud of herself, she could stand for hours.



I love this picture! Now look closely doesn't it look like she's thinking, "Whatcha talking about Willis?" And if you don't know what I am refering to or don't know who Willis is than I must be getting old!!!!
