Sisters

Even though there is such a big gap in age (16 years) in these sisters, they always seem to find something to do with each other. I think poor Kaitlyn has played hide n' seek more than she ever did as a kid herself! :) She is a trooper and doesn't complain about it at all.
Love seeing these two together whether they are playing or just sitting and having a conversation together.

He Turns 7!!

Another birthday! Another year and memories to enjoy!
We celebrated Kyler's birthday early in the hopes that Kaitlyn would be able to enjoy his birthday awaiting the arival of Ms. Mia! Luckly she wasn't feeling the best, but was there to NOT miss her little brothers birthday!
Another year at Chuck E Cheese! YEAH!!

Everyone had a great time and we had a VERY helpful hostesses! Made the second time at Chuck E Cheese a little more easier to handle!

Prom Night

Kaitlyn had her Senior Prom and Kyler had his Pre-School prom all on the same night.
Kaitlyn had a very busy day with activities before and during prom.
Kyler didn't care to dance or anything just sat next to me and put the decorations that fell on the floor back on the wall!
That's my boy!

Guess Who Turned 18!

Yes, Kaitlyn turned 18 on January 5th!

Does this make us feel old, yeah actually it does to know we have a 18 year old.

We love her and she threatened (not really) me to not put pictures up, so I put her cake up!

Gingerbread Train

Kaitlyn and Kyler every year always do gingerbread houses, this year we changed things up and did a train and did one together instead of doing separate ones.

PhotoShop

I got PhotoShop Elements a while back, haven't had much time to play around with it, but knew how to do some easy things with it.
Have been getting help from a friend, but am still learning things.
Thought I would share.

By the way, she look ANYTHING like me yet?

Our Kids

Oh my goodness ALL 3 of them together! :)
After carving pumpkins I was able to get some pictures of them all together!
(Yes I know October pictures - sorry I have been very busy)

Brothers & Sisters

Kaitlyn (17), Kyler (4) and Kynnedy (16 months) love spending time with each other, we all don't get to do if often with how busy we all are and if we are all together (parents with step children know how hard it is to schedule things with everyone), but when we do it is LOTS of FUN, and I get EVERY picture I can get!
Who could ask for more than this?

Pumpkins

We all went to pick our pumpkins and all the kids walked around to find their perfect pumpkins.

Kaitlyn searched!

Kyler scouted!

Kynnedy, well she didn't care to much, but liked the one Kaitlyn found her!

Homecoming 2009

Kaitlyn was nominated for Homecoming Queen, she didn't win, but she was still beautiful as ever!

I wanted to share this picture of her and her dad cause I think it is a really good picture!

Sisters

Tuesday Night At The Game

Billy, Me, Kaitlyn & Kyler went to the Cardinal's game Tuesday night! We were a little cold, but it wasn't that bad!
Kyler did really good, he had 2 things of dip n dots and then cracked some peanuts for Kaitlyn and dad.
He really enjoyed the hat game, he even watched it so good he picked the right hat!
Of course I remembered all day to grab my camera and still walked out the door without it! Good thing I have a camera phone!
