Our day today!

This morning I was tired so slept in a bit - Kyle did too, I think... He had eaten a couple cookies for breakfast and then I fixed him some yogurt and cheese stick. I couldn't figure out why it took him SO LONG to finish his breakfast! Tonight we went to some friends' house for supper and I asked Del how many cookies he'd left for us to eat - all of them. 10-12 cookies. And Kyle ate them all before 9am. Whew! No wonder he didn't have room for breakfast!!!



After we got home from dinner and visiting, I opened my truck door to get Kyle and heard some beeping... the CO alarm was going off (2nd time this winter) - stinkin' battery!! So, I went in the house, made sure the pilot wasn't out on the fireplace after I reset the alarm and went in search of the instruction booklet. I read all of the sections about the CO detector and what I should be doing etc. To make a long story short, we've never installed a new battery properly and when it is done right, the racket stops right away instead of going on and on....!!! Wooohoooo for reading the instruction manual!! I just replaced it in December or something but I guess two days of detecting battery only was too much. So, tomorrow I'm off to buy new batteries! As well as food to restock the fridge and freezer!!

Kolby's Birthday Weekend

We went to Branson, MO for chiropractic appointments on Kolby's birthday so decided to make a long weekend of it! We found an awesome 2 bed/2 bath condo with TONS of extras (pack'n'play, toys, detergents, condiments...) at http://www.vrbo.com/. Our condo was the Homestead and can be seen at http://www.bransonweekend.com/. Mark and Pam joined us (no pictures but they are in the video...) for Kolby's birthday dinner and good visits!!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET KOLBY

Exactly one year ago today you came into our lives! We were so glad to meet you! You were almost smiling before we came home from the hospital :) and you had stretches bigger than any I'd seen before! Now, you are walking from here to there, getting into big brother's things, following us around all over the house and even touring on your own... We are so glad you are part of our world!

We love you sweet Kolby!

High Fives!!!
Daddy, Mommy and Kyle

Viewing pictures...

So, I'm trying to figure out an easier way to post pictures (in quantity) :). How do you make your picture collages? I'm looking for some ideas... my July 4th post is done in Photobucket - do you like it or is it too much? I know that more frequent posts would help the situation but it is too late for last year... :)
