A busy end to the week

Daddy has been home quit a bit this week so we have been busy playing and helping Daddy! It's been great for me. Not as lucky this week, Daddy has some inservices but Grana will be here Wednesday! Hooray!!! Here are some pictures of what we have been doing this week!

Kelvey helping Daddy in the freezer!
She was a lot of help wasn't she Daddy!!!

Wednesday we went to the Withrow's for dinner and then walked to the park to swing!

I wish I got a picture of Ty in his Johnny jump up it was so funny!

Kelvey love to swing!

Oh its ok Mommy and Daddy are still here!!

Sunday we went to Synetha's for her baby shower! She is having twins sometime in August, a boy(Dayne) and a girl(Joslynn). We had a great time and she looks great! We can't wait to meet them!

What a difference a week makes

In just a week Kelvey went from just starting to pull up on some things to pulling up on everything. Just today she tries pulling up on the coffee table and fell and bumped her head. She's tough though she's was ok after a minute of cuddle time with Mommy. Tomorrow she will be 11 months old. Only one more month to go before her big day! I better get busy!!!! Yikes!!! Here are some pics of her standing and anther one of Grana's outfits that she made. I love it!!

This and That

These are just some random pictures of the last few days. Enjoy!!

Playing in Hannah Grace's room with big girl toys!

Time for big girl toys Daddy

Yummy!

We went to Target yesterday and this is how she feel asleep in the car. I didn't give her her pacifier because I didn't want her to fall asleep until the ride home.

I just love Bristol and Bristol is so nice to let me pound on her!

Learning everyday

It is only 1:00 and it has already been a big day for Kelvey. We started off the day with mommy getting into the shower and she decided she wanted to take a shower today and since she was about to take a bath anyway I got her undressed to experience the shower. She was not sure she like the water hitting her in the face the entire time and was glad when she got to change over to the bathtub. As I was getting her out of the tub I turned to get a towel and she was standing up in the tub. It's amazing to be how one day she is not pulling up at all and all of a sudden this week she is pulling up on everything. Thank goodness I had the camera nearby and she did it again for me. I wasn't as lucky the next time. After she got out of the tub I decided to rearrange her room. Something I thought about last night when I couldn't sleep. I turned around and she was playing in her bookshelf standing up with no hands. First time ever!! She may be walking by her birthday after all, I can't believe it!! I then had to put her in her crib so I could move things without her getting stuck under something and she was very unhappy but she stood up in her crib. It's like she just gets it one day and there is not stopping her! I love seeing her do these new things but I still get sad when I see that my little baby isn't a baby anymore. Where does the time go. Oh and way to they catch on to the thing you don't want them to learn yet and the things you want them to do they don't. For example we have been working on drinking out of a sippy cup for what seems like forever, and she still doesn't have that down. And sign language for another example I can sign all day long and she just laughs. I guess one day she will get that too.

Yeah!!!

Hey what's up here?

I want out of here!!!

Look at these books!

Eating like a big girl

Well I haven't updated in a while so I thought I better since i couldn't sleep! Kelvey is doing great and we are enjoying time with Daddy for the time being. She is beginning to eat table food and seems to really enjoy eating like a big girl. Mommy is still really careful about what she eats so there will be not choking. She is so busy sticking everything in her mouth that she doesn't know what she can eat and what she can't. Here are some pictures of her feeding herself! Such a big girl!

Macaroni at G. G's

Trying to eat sweet potatoes on a spoon

Getting into something she is not suppose to

A sleepy girl resting on the pillow
Don't worry it lasted just long enough to get the picture and then up again to see what else she can get in to!

Her favorite toy or thing to do currently is play in the Tupperware cabinet. I think I put them away about five times a day
Is this ok Mommy

10 year reunion

Saturday night Ron and I had a night out and dropped Kelvey off at G.G's and went to our High School Reunion! We had a really great time seeing everyone again. We wish more people could have come but it was fun anyway. I can't believe we have been out of High School 10 years. I didn't have my camera because I always have it in the diaper bag for Kelvey's funny moments. So the camera was with her but I stole pictures from Missy. Thanks Missy I can always rely on you to have your camera!

So funny

I am trying to get Kelvey to drink out of a sippy cup so I give it to her all the time. I got out of the car and saw that she had fallen asleep playing with her cup. I thought it looked funny so I took a picture to share!

Vacation and Fourth of July

Wow!! What a fun and busy week! We had a great time but am I glad to be home! After 9 days of Ron being gone we headed straight to Knoxville to spend time with Granna and Troy( we don't have a name for him yet). After a few days of hanging out there we( The Sarver's) headed to the mountains for a camping trip. The weather couldn't have been better. We even got a chance for Granna and Troy to come up for a visit. It was great! Kelvey did not sleep very well the first night and in a pitch dark and absolute silent campground you don't want to be know as the the crazy the couple camping with a 10 month old who screamed all night. The only thing that got her quiet was feeding her. However the second night went much better. We then headed back to Knoxville to enjoy the pool one more day, see fireworks, and get some rest. The next day we headed to Kentucky for the fireworks show there. It was a long trip but we made it. I just hated for Kelvey to be stuck in the car all day, but she did great. We got to Kentucky in time for dinner and viewed fireworks show on the boat. It was great! Kelvey did great at both fireworks shows. She even feel asleep during the Kentucky show. Sunday morning we headed off to church, lunch and packed up once again for home! Yippy!! Not that I didn't enjoy the trip but I was sick of being in the car and packing everything up so many times. Once we got home I think Kelvey had had enough. She was very fussy and just wanted her own bed. Who could blame her. Needless to say the last few days Mommy has been resting and trying to get back on a routine. Kelvey has gotten used someone to pick her up whenever she wants. What fun to get back home and thing don't work that way. Oh well that's just part of visiting family.

We went to Gatlinburg and had lunch at Bubba Gumps

It was a hot day so we stopped at the water to cool down! Kelvey loved the freezing cold water!
She got mad when we took her out.
SHe must have gotten that from Daddy!
I hate cold water!
Daddy got all the way in! He's CRAZY!

Camp site view

We had to stop and get a picture by the sign but Kelvey had just fallen asleep!
The best we could do!

The kids made hats on Kentucky and Hannah Grace made sure Kelvey got one to!
She is always so thoughtful!
