Overdue Photo

An update on the baby is VERY overdue!!!  Here is a picture of Kellen and I at 21 weeks.  This would have been taken back in January right after we found out Kellen would have a sweet little sister.  I must admit I was pretty surprised at the ultrasound.  I definitely thought I was having another boy, I even asked the tech to double check.  I am so excited to be blessed with both a little boy and a little girl.  Austin and I often talk about how blessed we are.  Three years ago I didn't think this would ever be MY life.  We prayed for one baby constantly and soon we will have two :) 

Mustache Brothers

Whenever Austin is on the trauma rotation at the hospital he grows a mustache.  I am not sure exactly what it symbolizes but it seems to be pretty popular with his co-workers.  We thought it would be funny for the buddies to be matching.  Kellen looks like Mario from Super Mario Brothers :)

Indoor Fun

 With the cold weather we found ourselves being pretty creative with our indoor activities. Here is a list of some of our favorites......
-decorating the inside of a large cardboard Mater (Cars movie)
-going on pretend grocery trips, after a while Kellen starting telling us he worked at the grocery store
-PAINTING-fingers, brushes, sponges, using trucks and animals for tracks and paw prints
-blowing up gloves that daddy would bring home from work and rubber banding them to our wrists
-making forts with couch cushions and blankets
-watching discovery channel specials on animals, trains or airplanes
-blowing colored bubbles at the kitchen table using big baking dishes and straws
-baking (pregnant mommy really liked this activity)

Lexy's Wedding

 Lexy and Cole were married in the middle of February. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful bride.  The wedding was perfect and Kellen definitely behaved himself.  Kellen wore dress shoes with squeakers in them to the reception.  I must admit that they were a tiny bit annoying on the ears but what an excellent way to keep track of a toddler in a room filled with people.

 I am pretty sure Kellen ate both mommy and daddy's desserts!

 He hit his zonked out point around 9:30.  Don't worry, he was able to muster up a second wind for a dollar dance with the bride :)

Choo Choo

We took a trip on the North Freedom Snow Train in February.  Kellen was a little nervous when the LOUD train first pulled up, he quickly relaxed and began enjoying himself.  This kid LOVES trains!  It was really fun to watch the experience through his little eyes.  We will definitely take advantage of this fun opportunity again next year.  Maybe by that time he will be able to blow hard enough into his train whistle so it makes noise :)

My futures so bright!!!!

Holiday Helper

Kellen is very helpful in the kitchen. His favorite things to do are making pizza, mixing cookie dough and washing dishes. Maybe I should rephrase that last part. When Kellen attempts to wash the dishes it is typically the floor that gets washed instead.
