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.

It's official (and some fun with friends)

Well it's official like I said... our house is now up for sale. This makes me sad and excited. I am having mixed emotions. But I know we are so blessed and I am thankful to the Lord for that. So we'll see what all the Lord has in store for us. Last weekend we went to the lake with our friends Neal, Jerrie Ann and Case. We had so much fun just getting away from town and letting the kids play. So I included a few pictures of the kids playing in their pj's. I wanted to get so many more cute pics but both mine and Jerrie Ann's cameras died. They were so cute sitting on this little ledge together and I couldn't take the picture. Oh well... there will be many more cute moments to capture with the two of them I'm sure. Well I'm glad it's Friday and the house is finally up for sale because we have been working our tails off getting it ready. Hopefully we can rest some this weekend. Hope everyone has a great weekend!




Our house up for sale now!



Kaytlin and Case playing


Wishing we would stop taking pictures of them!

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.
