Where does the time go???

Sorry the pics are above the post, but I added them last and couldn't figure out how to get them at the bottom or get my post at the top. I'm still not too great at this blogging stuff. haha.


Kaytlin at the Play Place... posing for Mommy!



This is a new favorite thing... to put our shoes on her hands and
carry them around!


Kaytlin in one of her favorite spots!!

Love this picture!! This is what she does at my parent's...

She loves to go straight to the pantry and get our her Cheerios

and carry them around!

Well our little Kaytlin is almost 16 months old!!! I can't believe it. She is getting so big.... and way too fast. She is talking up a storm. She says dog, juice, out (for outside), mama, dada, nana, and open (to open the door).... and so many more. She definitely is so aware of everything around her. She will go get a book or get on her truck when I ask. I am just loving this stage. It's so fun to watch her learn even the smallest thing and explore everything. I am putting up a few pictures from the last few weeks to show all the new things she's in to!

On another note, I think we are putting our house on the market this weekend. We've been cleaning out, etc to get ready and I think we are almost there. It is such a scary thing and sad thing for me. This is our first house as a family and where we brought Kaytlin home for the first time. I only want to do this if it's what God has for us. I am praying that he will either totally open the door for us to move by selling it or completely shut it if it's not what He wants. He has blessed us more than we could imagine and we want to honor Him with what He has given us. So the idea of selling our house has been hard for me, but I want to do it if it's what the Lord wants. So pray for us as we start this "fun" process and that the Lord will make it evident what we are to do.

So it's been a little crazy around here lately and will surely be more crazy if we have to pack all up and move, find a rental, and build. But we are still having TONS of fun with Kaytlin and she is always keeping us on our toes!!! Hope you enjoyed the pics above.

Better Late than Never

Well I know this is WAY overdue. I haven't had my card to download all my pics to the computer. Anyway, better late than never right? I've been telling Drew's mom I would post a few pics from Christmas too. So here are a few.... I need to learn how to do a slide show too so I can post more at a time.... I will take help from anyone that knows how. So Christmas was so much fun with a 13 month old. She loved the toys Santa brought which wasn't a ton cuz she just had a birthday a month before. So she didn't need much at all. She still loves her horse a ton and is still trying to figure Elmo out. I also included a picture with Santa. I will post more this afternoon of some more recent pics since she is now almost 16 months old and doing so much more.




Kaytlin on her new horse from Santa!!! She loves it!!!


She wasn't quite sure about Santa this year. Look at that face.
He looks like he has a death grip on her



Excuse the way me and Drew look but I wanted a family
picture at Christmas



Kaytlin woke up like 5 on Christmas morning... so excited I guess. haha
But we put her in bed with us then had to wake her up like 8:30. She was
snoozing away here in our bed. She looked so peaceful!!!

It's been a while!!!

Well, it's been a few weeks since I last posted. With all the craziness of Christmas time and just recovering afterwards I just haven't had time to sit down and write. I promise I will post Christmas pictures very soon. Hopefully in the next day or two. I have just a minute before Kaytlin should be getting up from a nap so I figured I would go ahead and write. Kaytlin is now 14 months old and into everything. She almost runs now instead of walking which is hilarious. She is getting her second molar in right now and it has not been fun at all. Just as the other one finally came in good then we started up on the other one. Now she has a runny nose along with it and is just wanting to be held. But I do love to just sit and snuggle with her when she wants to be held. I think about two weeks ago we had a small scare (at least for me). I was getting ready to go the the doctor and Kaytlin was playing in the bathroom and I all the sudden heard this sucking noise. K had grabbed the sponge that I had been cleaning the tub out with Comet and was going to town. So of course I freaked and called the dr and they sent me on to poison control. I didn't think she had much, but you can never be too careful. So they just advised me to give her plenty of water. She acted totally fine the whole day, but I felt horrible and was freaking out a little to say the least. I'm sure we'll have many more of those scares, hopefully only as small as this one. Well there's the Kaytlin update.

On another note, Drew and I are trying to lose weight. We've been trying to work out and eat better. This is all much easier said than done. We just love to eat!!! But I think Drew has lost at least 5 and I've lost about 4 now. So we're getting there. Slowly but surely. Be looking soon for some Christmas pictures and we'll try to post a video too for all you family who want to see!

A Redneck Christmas

The Deviney's have a Christmas party every year and for the past two years it has been Redneck themed. Drew and I had to miss last year, but we wouldn't dare miss it again. It was so much fun to see everyone all decked out.... some pulled out all the stops. Our outfits paled in comparison to some. But it was so much fun for everyone. We all sang the 12 Redneck Days of Christmas, the adults played the Newlywed game and then we played dirty Santa with mostly redneck gag gifts. They were hilarious too. Here are a few pictures from last night. Hope you enjoy them as much as we had fun at the party. Thanks Mr. Bruce and Mrs. Terri for an unforgettable night.



Our redneck family.... I'm sporting the trophy wife shirt with deer antlers coming out of the sides.



Drew and Jonathan... Drew as a MSU fan and Jonathan wearing a shirt for the Pearl zip code... He and Alisa just bought a house in Pearl and everyone likes to give them a hard time. You'll see Alisa below...

Tacky Sweaters and the Stitchin' Girls

Well, my mom is part of a group of ladies who have been getting together for at least 20 years. They call themselves the stitchin' girls. They used to stitch a long time ago but they don't any more. They get together and go out to eat and just fellowship with each other. They are some of my mom's best friends and they have been through everything together. So, this Christmas they decided to invite their daughters and if they didn't have a daughter they brought their daughter in laws. We had dinner and played dirty Santa. It was so much fun and it's so neat to see how they are all still such great friends after all these years. I only hope to have such great friends many years later. Thanks to the stitchin girls for letting us crash your party this year.... although they did have their own party so they could talk about all of us as they usually do. haha.




The whole gang!


Aunt Vickie, Megan, me and Mom



Me and mom were trying to take a picture..... but as you can see we got so tickled that this is the best one we got. I love it though.

Clinton Christmas Parade

This past weekend we went to Clinton's Christmas parade. It was a little cold but we all survived. Kaytlin really enjoyed all of the lights and music. She waved to the people on the floats. We also got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. We watched the parade with our friends and old neighbors Craig, Anna and Brooke. We got to eat with them after too which was goo to catch up since they've been gone from the neighborhood. So it was a fun night and I'm sure we'll be going every year. Here are a few pictures from the parade for you to enjoy.




Kaytlin and Daddy watching the parade. I love this picture.



Kaytlin, Mommy, and Bickie (that's what Kaytlin's gonna call her or so we like to believe)



The family at the parade. Kaytlin looks out of it here.

A Quick Update

Well it's been a while since I posted, but we've been so busy lately. It's not slowing down either with Christmas fastly approaching. Well Kaytlin will be 13 months tomorrow. I can't believe she's getting so big. She is walking everywhere... we've got to post some videos of her going to town. She's so cute to watch. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. We've had Callie over to play today which was fun. Kaytlin had alot of fun playing with her and loves having a friend around. We've had some new pictures done but they are already off of the website of the photographer.... so we'll try to scan some in soon. We are looking forward to Christmas. I know it will be tons of fun for Kaytlin and us. We are thankful to finally have a weekend of nothing to do. We're gonna finish putting up the lights outside and that's about all I have planned. I may actually see if I can get my facial appt for tomorrow and Drew said he would keep Kaytlin so I could. What a great Daddy. I couldn't be more blessed with a better husband and incredible daddy to Kaytlin. Tomorrow night is Clinton's Christmas parade. We may try to take Kaytlin but it will be so cold. I think she'll love it. If so we'll post some pics of that as well!!!
