A & E + 4

Well Tuesday was a very fun day for Katelyn and I. We went to help Ellissa babysit her niece and nephew. Boy did we really have a good time. And thanks E for a lovely breakfast!!!


I just had to start off with this picture, it's just so cute and I love their smiles!!!



OK kids line up, hey wait a minute where's Metteo, hiding I'm sure HeHe!!!

There he is hugging Kimmie, though she wasn't quite in the mood!!

Metteo is not very happy here so Katelyn gives him alittle pinch to make sure he's OK!

Katelyn hard at work trying to get all the beads together to make a necklace though it kept falling apart!!

Kimmie is very happy to get a big hug from her brother Andrew!

So here is the rainbow that I had been obsessed with getting a picture of. Now isn't it beautiful? Ellissa said, "What are you looking for a pot of gold!" HeHe she a funny one!!!

Dinner at Grammy's House!!

After work Danny's that is we decided to eat at Grandma's house.



Katelyn is happy cuz she has the remote, which she has become very obsessed with.

Katelyn just lounging around waiting for dinner. Meat loaf for Mommy and peas and mashed potatoes for Katelyn.

Katelyn got tired of watching Ni Hao Kai-lan, which is a pretty neat show. They teach about sharing and even some Chinese word, it's cute!!!

Grandpa thinks Katelyn is very funny and I would again, she's very funny these days!!

Safety First!!

Yesterday Danny was off from work so we decided to run some errands. Bank, Walmart, Mac Donald's (we were so hungry) then final stop Toys R Us to pick up a Safety Gate (which I researched). So here is Katelyn pleading her case to why we should just trust her, she promises not to tumble down the stairs!! Sorry kid the gate stays!!

Snowy Day!

Well the good news is I found the memory card bad news snow is still here. We keep getting teased with warm weather then bam cold snow, booo! And I have a feeling we'll get a few more snowy days before the sun rises on springy days!!!


This picture was taking from our bedroom window. Brrrr too cold to go outside with my little snow angel!!



Katelyn being a messy girl again!! Now she just has to learn to clean up!! Yeah Right!!!

No Memory Card!!

Sorry all I have not posted in awhile. I've misplaced my 2G memory card. I think Danny hid it on me either that or it's right under my nose. I'm gonna look better tomorrow, I hope it didn't get thrown out!!!

Anyway I can't believe we got more snow, I know E is psyched, she probably singing Let it snow Let it snow Let it snow!!!! I'm posting pretty late and can I just say my sis got me into Facebook. It's pretty cool and I am suppose to be sleeping cuz I'm exhausted and Katelyn is sleeping so that is what I should be doing. But Curses Toni you got me hooked and now I'm hyper cuz I ate too many Brownies. Ohhhhhh curses to all brownies in the world!!

OK it's 11:11 make a wish................................. ok done!!! I know I know I'm rambling I can't help it. Now I just want to say Katelyn has been sleeping for 3 glorious hours Score!!!

Here's a cute picture I hope I didn't post it already. That's ok I like this picture anyway!!

Love ya all Good Nite!!!

Silly Sounds!!

Here's just a random video I thought you'd all enjoy.

Katelyn has found different sounds and pitches come out by blowing in a wrapping paper roll! She cracks me up!!!

Toys, Toys, and More Toys!!

Well today we got to play with some of Katelyn's Christmas and Birthday presents. Believe me Katelyn was in her glory.

Here is Katelyn's first drawing, Aunt Toni and Uncle Brian got her her first Crayola Crayons. Maybe she'll be like her Daddy and Grammy, they are very artistic!!!


This is the Choo Choo train Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Joe got her and if you look closely Kitty is hiding in the seat. Katelyn was playing hide and seek with Kitty!!

I told you she loves this table it plays lots of music, it says the alphabet, 1-10 and shapes and colors. As you can tell I'm very excited about it also, there's just so much to learn, I love it!!!

So after a diaper change Katelyn decided to go pants less. Look at those thighs, she's just too cute to say no!!!

Katelyn has upgraded now from pulling the DVD's off the shelf to opening them and trying to take the disc out, JOY!!!!

Mommy built Katelyn a Castle and Katyelyn knocked it down and tried to eat it!!! Ahhhhhhhhh Baby Monster on the loose run while you still can!!!!!

Rockin Dragon

Katelyn got this really cool Rockin Dragon from her Nana and it even plays music. It's a perfect fit for her little tushy. She loves it and it's just so unique, I'm sure she'll get lots of use out of it!!!

Birthday Girl! 2/16/09

Happy 1st Birthday Cheetah Girl!!!


I got this outfit the other day for $7.00, I just loved it and I figured she can wear it on her B-Day! Here she is posing with Elmo, I think I play with it more than she does.



Grammy got Katelyn a Rocking Horse, decked out with a red scarf!!! Very fancy!!!

Here we all are getting ready to open presents. Then off to bed cuz we are all still pretty pooped from yesterday's party! Looks like Danny is already asleep!! HeHe!!!

Now it's time to open a present from Mommy and Daddy, she was very excited. I think the bow was a bit of a distraction but we got back on track and finally open the present!!!

Mommy and Daddy got Katelyn a Learn & Groove Music Table. She loves it, man she must have done like 20 laps around the table, it was pretty funny. Now we know what to do when we want to tirer her out! HeHe!!!
