Family Update

Well it has been over a month since I have updated my blog..We have been busy lately and I haven't thought much of it!! I am going to try and get back into blogging reguarly so that I have things about my kiddos recorded so I can look back on them...and of course for everyone else to read :) Wow..where should I begin??

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and we had our families over for lunch!! This was our first time hosting Thanksgiving at our house and it turned out well!! John smoked a turkey and some pork and everyone brought sides and desserts!! Everything turned out so well..I am so thankful that John is such a good cook because I am terrible at it!! He has been patiently waiting..well maybe not that patiently..to put up our Christmas decorations :) This is the first Christmas living is a house (we have lived in a condo or apartment up until the beginning of the year) so this if the first house we will really be able to decorate!! As soon as we finished our Thanksgiving meal he headed outside to start on the decorations :) Ill be sure to post pictures once we are done!! We are taking our first vacation as a family of four to disney coming up soon!! I know Kaylee is going to have a blast now that she is big enough to walk around and now that she knows some of the characters!!

The kids are really growing up and changing so much!! Kaylee turned 20 months yesterday!! She is not a baby anymor and that makes me so sad!! I can't believe she will be 2 soon!! I was working on potty training with her for a little bit but I think she is still a little to young so we are going to hold off a few more months!! She will go when you put her on the potty but she was still having lots of accients and wasn't really grasping the idea that she needed to tell me when she had to go to the bathroom!! She is talking so much now and that is so much fun..she is repeating everything we say and she is starting to call everyone by their names which is so cute!! She is finally starting to get her appetite back which is nice..she is still very picky but we are working on that. Kyle is 2 1/2 month old now..its hard to believe it has been that long since we brought him home!! I took him to the doctor last week for his first set of shots and he did great..he cried a little when they gavehim the shots but as soon as they were done he was back to his normal happy self.. I am so thankful that he is such a happy easy going baby!! He weighed 11.6 at his appointment..he is still so tiny to me since Kaylee was so much bigger than him at this age!! He is sleeping great, he does about 7-8 hour stretched every night then eats and goes right back to sleep for a few more hours!! He is starting to smile now and it is absolutly precious. Kaylee loves him so much. She calls him "bubba" any time he cries she will go and put his binky in his mouth and cover him with his blankets..and tell him "its ok bubba"!! Its so sweet.

Well I guess thats enough for one day. I will upload some recent pictures of the kids soon and also try to post much more frequently!!
