The Kelly's

Big prayer request here!! Please pray for our friends Scott and Angie Kelly and their children Holt and Blaire. Holt and Blaire were attacked by a dog at someone else's house yesterday afternoon. Blaire has had stitches and was released from the hospital tonight, but she will be staying there since Holt will be there. Holt was attacked worse. He has had two surgeries and has some nerve damage in his face, but should get some or most of the feeling back. They do have a long road of recovery ahead of them so please keep them in your prayers over the weeks to come. I know they would truly appreciate it!

Catching Up

Our life has been extremely crazy this summer. Probably part of the reason I haven't posted in over a month. We are in the process of building still. Hopefully I can add some pictures of that soon too. They are almost done framing and hope to be bricking it in a couple of weeks. Our goal is to be in by Thanksgiving so we're keeping our fingers crossed. Kaytlin is keeping us busy as well. She is 20 months old now and into everything. She is such a girly girl. She loves shoes as you will see below. She walks all over the house in whoever's shoes she can find. She loves makeup and lotion and everything girly. If you are putting it on... then she wants some too. She is talking up a storm too. Saying so many things now that I can't list them anymore. She will try and say everything we do. Which is hilarious when it comes out of her mouth, but we really have to watch what we say now too. Just today I said something was crazy and of course she was like "Cwazy". So cute, but I better watch it or she'll be calling people crazy. So we are having a great summer which is now almost over. We've been swimming and to the zoo and playing with friends and trying to stay cool which is hard to do these days. Here are a few random pictures from the summer.




Kaytlin in her Strawberry Shortcake crown that came with
her DVD. She's loving Strawberry Shortcake right now. So girly.



Here she is with my Granny. Granny was asleep at
this point, but Kaytlin was brushing her hair. So cute.
Granny has Alzheimers and for the most part doesn't know
who we are, but Kaytlin lights up her day when we go. So we try
to go often. We have more pictures from Granny's birthday that
I will post soon.



Here she is in the shoes like I was telling you... She loves it
and I think she's just adorable in this pic... don't you?



Here she is with her "boyfriend" Case. Drew says she can't have
a boyfriend yet. haha. But me and Jerrie Ann say they are.
This is after a morning of playing in the rain. They do love playing
together though. Such a cute pair!!!

Destin 2009

Well our trip to Destin was back at the end of June, but I'm just now posting about it. I've been procastinating about putting our pictures all on the computer. Just haven't had a long time to sit down and do it. But back to Destin... we had such a great time. This year Kaytlin was so much more into it. She wasn't afraid of the water very much. She loved to go stand where it would wash over her feet and that was about all. We did take her out in the water some too and she liked that too. We were able to stay a whole week this year which was wonderful because we didn't feel like we had to stay at the beach all day every day. By the end of the week Kaytlin was really learning that she could play with the sand and have fun. haha. She did however take naps I think every day but one down on the beach. I'm talking like hour or hour and a half naps. It was so wonderful. My parents came and Drew's mom came and so did my brother and Mitzi. So we had a full crew at some parts of the week. We ate way too much food and had alot of fun. I know next year will be even more fun, and we're already looking forward to it. Here are just a few pictures from our vacation... I am trying to figure out how to do a photo slideshow. Can anyone help me???? I'm tired of only posting a few pictures at at time. If you know how will you leave me a comment and tell me. I would really appreciate it. Enjoy the pics!!




Kaytlin playing in the sand


Our friends Daniel, Abbey and Marianna were down
there too for the convention so we hung out with them some
too. This night we ate at Goatfeathers



Me and Kaytlin chillin on the beach sportin' the shades

Here is how Kaytlin took her naps every day!! Sweet girl!!

Five Years

Well, tomorrow... June 5 is our 5 year anniversary. I can't believe it's been 5 years already. They have flown by for sure. We are heading to New Orleans for the weekend and Kaytlin is staying with my parents. This will be my first time leaving her overnight. I know that's ridiculous because she's 19 months old, but I just haven't really had much reason to. So my parents will be keeping her and they will do great, but I'm nervous about leaving her. I'm sure I'll cry, but mom says I will get over it quickly when I'm gone. :) We've had VBS all week this week so I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend with Drew with just the two of us, but I'm sure I will be ready to see my little punkin by Sunday for sure. I will hopefully take some pictures of our weekend and post when I get back.

March for Babies 2009--- Marching for Magdalena!!!

Saturday was the 2009 March for Babies with the March of Dimes. We walked for "Magdalena's Feet". We had such a great time walking and so glad it went to such a wonderful cause. The weather turned out to be gorgeous and the entire event was so well orgnazied. Julie and Noah, y'all did such a wonderful job in getting the team together and really honoring Magdalena in such an awesome way. We can't wait to walk again next year!!!



Mason, Alisa, Kaytlin, me, Case and Jerrie Ann getting
ready to go walking!!!


Mason, Case and Kaytlin... Our little troopers for the day!
They loved it all too!!!

Easter 2009

So here are some Easter pictures. I know they're really late, but hope y'all enjoy them. Kaytlin still wasn't sure what was going on but she looked cute that's for sure. I'll post some more later from our trip to the zoo but here are a few to check out!!



Kaytlin saying "Cheese!"


So pretty in her dress!!



Smiling with her Easter bunny goodies!!

Having fun at our Sunday School Easter egg hunt!

SOLD! and springtime

WELL... from the title you can tell that we sold our house!!! We can't believe it. It has been such a God thing for sure. We are excited about moving, although I'm being a little sentimental about leaving our first house. But we will start building hopefully by the first of May if everything goes smoothly. We have about 3 and a half weeks to pack before we close. QUICK I know. But we have been so blessed and are so excited about what is in store in the years to come in our new house. Also, I posted a sample of the pictures we took this past Friday with Jeanelle Caraway. I love this one and I know I will love all of the others too. Hope y'all are enjoying this spring weather as much as we are. Kaytlin is all about being outside and stands and the door whining "ouside". She would stay out all day if I let her... she LOVES it. I am loving it too.
