Just In Case You Heard....

No we are not pregnant....

We are not moving down to Arizona for a new job. We have decided that Colorado is the best place for us, at least right now in our lives. Thanks to all of the family that helped us in our decision to stay or go and we hope that the family that really wanted us to go will still like us. :)

WE LOVE YOU!

Christmas Decorating

This is pretty much the extent of my Christmas decorations. As you can see I made myself a stocking too. It is a little smaller than Quinn and Kelsey's because I ran out of felt!! Oh well... We are planning to put up our tree tonight, so everything will be complete. I will just have to keep Kelsey away from it, so it doesn't fall on her. Of course, there will be not presents under the tree because Kelsey will just tear them up, so instead they are on top of the entertainment center. Real Classy.

Christmas Stockings

I realized that Kelsey didn't have a stocking for Christmas and Quinn didn't have one that meant anything to him, so I made some today. I think I might have had a little too much fun, but that is what Christmas is all about. I think I might have to make a stocking for me, so we all have the same kind!

The First REAL Snowfall

We finally had our first real snow fall. We have had others but they melted away the same day. This I feel might stick around for a while. Quinn actually had to do his first snow removal for his job, maybe that is why I feel it is official. Kelsey just thought it was bright. I haven't taken her out in it yet. But will definitely take pictures of that!!

Valentine's Day

I didn't want to put "Thanksgiving break" because everyone else did... I did get your attention though!!

We traveled everywhere.....

The week before Thanksgiving we went to Arizona with family, for a quick weekend get together. We flew back on Monday night and kind of cleaned everything from our trip, then Tuesday night we drove to Blackfoot. Yes, we are pretty crazy. It was a 10 hour drive, but luckily Kelsey slept most of the way, which was extremely nice. We spent a few days in Blackfoot with lots of Quinn's family. Ate lots of food, then drove back on Sunday. We finally got home Sunday at about 9:00. Of course, Kelsey didn't go to bed until about midnight, but it could have been worse.

Here are some pictures from our trips:

Dayna, Ben, and Davis making birthday cards for Papa's 50th birthday!! He is an old man now!

Grandma making the sweet goodness for Thanksgiving dessert. Mmm... I want more.... drool....

Kelsey liked playing with the clay pigeon thrower things... If she could, she would have eaten all the empty bullet shells.

Kelsey loved playing with all of her cousins, even though they are a few years older than her.

Grandpa Ellis cutting the other sweet goodness, some Turkey.

Kelsey loved playing the piano, just creating more noise in an already loud household.

Twilight....

Well... lets see...
We went to see Twilight today and well we went expecting nothing and actually got something out of it. Sort of.
My favorite characters:
Charlie
Alice
Bella's mom... her name escapes me... OH Renae
The major characters were well lets just say I don't know just go see the movie and you will understand. I won't say anymore until later, just to make sure that I don't spoil anything.

But... twinkle twinkle....

What do you think?

I saw this on my friends blog and thought it would be fun to see how accurate this is.
What do you think?

This is what our little boy should look like. And NO I am not pregnant! Give me a break Kelsey is not a year yet!

what time is it?

It's funny how time just seems to take out your feet when your not paying attention. There really hasn't been much to going on in our lives. Quinn is working, Kelsey is growing, and I am trying to sit back and enjoy the view. But as you can see time as slipped by me and it has been a while since I last posted. We seem to have alot of things going on in the next few months so I will keep you updated, hopefully a little better. ;)

Did you?

Is a dog peeing on my daughter?

Halloween was fun this year! I wasn't hugely pregnant like last year so I got to dress up too! Kelsey was, can you guess??
Yes, our "one-sock-wonder" is a fire hydrant!

Complete with peeing dog!!!

Quinn and I had fun too! Quinn was Billy Idol/ 80's rick star. I was a Korean Soccer Player, although I was too scared to spray my hair black.

GO KOREA!!
Kelsey was enjoying the spoils of trick-or-treating. She was taking all the candy in the bowl and throwing it all over the floor. If only she knew what sweet goodness was in those little packages.

Pumpkin

My pumpkin, chosen from the Walmart cardboard boxes, with care.

Carved with gentle stabs of the fork and knife, by loving care takers.

The result, which sadly is all I have to show, because the very day this magnificent pumpkin got us $75 of November rent, it was stolen.

I guess one never knows when the little pumpkins will start devororing, or worse....

cue scary music

Finally part of Colorado

Colorado is all about being "green". Every where you look there is some alternative to everyday life that is better for the enviornment. Anyway, people use thier bikes whenever they can and a whole bunch of other stuff that normal people wouldn't really think of. Waterless toilet, that flushes... figure that one out. Anyway so when my parents were here, they decided to get me a bike trailer, and after much searching and figuring out everything, here it is! We only have one car so this is my form of transporation. Too bad I can only use it for about 2 more weeks.

(That is a gutter, not the actual sidewalk. Colorado isn't THAT cheep)

Kelsey wasn't so sure the first time we used it, but now she loves it, I just have to find a helmet small enough for her.

talking

Kelsey is now "talking" I guess you could call it. She says, Mama mama. I am pretty sure she doesn't understand what she is saying, but she does know that she is getting attention when she does say it.

I think this video is funny because it shows how short the attention span of a 10 month old really is and how much is really going through their little heads. First the talking, then the deep weird breaths, talking again, oh look! A camera! and then the clapping.

But one thing is for sure, our little girl is one of a kind.

The Joy of Fall

We decided to go to the pumpkin patch the other day. It was a beautiful day and a Friday morning so there wasn't that many people there so we took advantage. Kelsey was more excited by the cars going by then the bright colored pumpkins. But we still got some cute pictures.

In our "backyard" there is tons and tons of leaves! So we took Kelsey out and let her play in the leaves. She didn't know what was happening, but it was still cute.
