Knoxville Trip

This week Kelvey and I along with Missy, Maymie, and Madden needed a break so we headed up to Knoxville for a little get away. We had a great time! Grana and Troy spoiled us as usually so it was nice. Monday and Tuesday we did not do much just sit around and ate and everyone got there hair cut. I love going there cause Amy will come over and do hair in the comfort of Mom's house and I don't have to worry about finding a place for Kelvey. I knew Missy had been trying to find time to get her hair done so that was a plus to the trip. Wednesday we got out and stopped by my favorite fabric place and then quick got lunch and headed for the zoo with the kids. We did not expect the zoo to be the best but we knew Maymie would love it and she needed a rewarded for being so good on hair day. However we got to the zoo and it was awesome. They had some much more than our zoo and you could see that animals so much better. We only had two hours but it will be a place to frequent now when we go to visit. Kelvey and Madden both took a little nap but got to enjoy some of the zoo. Thanks for letting us get away Mom and Troy! Love you both.

First busted lip

Tonight after we got home from having dinner with G.G. we played outside for a bit and poor baby feel got her first busted lip with blood and everything!!! She has fallen many times before and she is pretty tough about it but never has there been blood. She did cry but I think it hurt Mommy and Daddy worse. We stopped the bleeding and went to take a bath. Ron kept coming in to check on her. Like I said much tougher on Mommy and Daddy than her. However it didn't bother me too bad since I seemed to still remember to take a picture. The pictures look worse than it is. She kept blinking at the flash. It made for a more dramatic look!!! HA HA




Dramatic Look!!
This is the day after look! It looks much better today so I hope it will go away soon. I put ointment on it about 6 times a day. That may be a bit over kill I'm not sure.

Busy Busy

We have had two very busy days and great weather. We started the week off with swim lessons. Kevley is doing really well going under the water however she is really stiff in the water and will not kick around much. But its a different story when she is in the bath tub. You ask her to kick and she knows exactly what to do. I guess the pool water is not near as warm as bath water.

Here she is ready for swim lessons in her new swim suit that will hopefully keep her a little warmer. Grana sent it to her for class this week and we love it.


Here she is after her lessons
The weather has been so wonderful so after swim lessons I decided to go to Target and run around a bit so I wouldn't have to clean the house on such a pretty day. Then Missy called and asked us to go to the zoo. So we went and she love it.




Madden and Kelvey ready to see the animals!
I loved this. Kelvey look how close Congo is!!!
Maybe a little too close for the first time this year


Today we had a play date and again went to the park to enjoy the great weather while its here. Won't last long so we played while we could!
Look at this crew!

Feeding the Ducks

We had such nice weather this weekend and Daddy got home early Friday so we decided to go and feed the ducks at the park. This was Kelvey's first time to feed the ducks. She wasn't real sure about it at first but warmed up to it. She didn't really want feed the ducks she just decided to have a snack herself at the park. Once we got there it was really windy but we had fun. Thanks Daddy for taking us to the park and watching me while Mommy went shopping.

I'm not sure I want down??

A year and a half

Kelvey was officially one and a half on Saturday. She had her 18 month check-up today. Besides having to wait for 2 hours she did pretty good. She doesn't really like going to the Dr. to much since we have been there a lot this winter. However she got a clean bill of health and Mommy was happy. She is still a little peanut but Dr. is happy that she is at least back on the chart.
She weighed 21.8 lbs 12%
Height 31 1/4 39%
I was just happy she was 20 lbs. We have been working on this weight thing and she eats like crazy but she doesn't seem to gain weight. I am not good at remembering to take her picture while at the Dr. office probably because I am having to calm her down the majority of the time. She is silly it doesn't even hurt but the shots are burned into her head I guess. Poor little girl!!!

This is the best I can do today.
Here she is playing with all my buttons and putting them into the hope as I was sewing.

Swim Lessons

We started swim lessons yesterday. We had a lot of fun. I wanted to go ahead and get this done before the baby got here. Although now I think we may want to keep going. Its a mommy and me class which I wanted but even though it is an indoor pool we still got a bit chilly. I think Kelvey will really like the more we go. She did great the first day. I didn't get any actual pictures of us in the water since I was in there with her. WE will have to wait until Daddy or one of the grandmothers can come and watch

Here is Kelvey with her friend Kaylor. I am not sure why her eyes are closed in many of my pictures I guess her eyes are sensitive to the flash.
Kaylor is Kerry and Courtney's daughter. He coaches with Ron. We are excited to get to see them every week!




I have posted several things so scroll down and check them all.

Last week

Last week was very busy and this week is looking the same. I just want to post some pics from the week.

About every week we make a trip to see Aunt Michele at work and usually go to lunch.
Michele lets Kelvey do some while we are there. Probably why I am having trouble posting at this minute. My little helper wants to work on the computer as well. Thanks Chele!!! LOL
