Proud Aunt and Uncle!

A lot of the posts on my blog have to do with my niece! We just love her so much and we have so much fun with her. When it got close to the time when Reagan would be here, Hailey and I made a present for her. She came to stay with us for a night, and we worked together to pain her sister a pretty picture!

First of course she had to kiss Lexi

and pose with her...

Then we got to work on the painting

Here's the finished product! Except I still have to write "Sisters" at the top and get Reagan's handprint on there. We can't wait to give it to Baby Reagan!

About a week after we finished our project, Amy went to the hospital to be induced. Wednesday afternoon, on the 20th of January, at 1:17 pm, they had BEAUTIFUL Reagan!

Hailey and Lexi: In Pictures

Hailey has been staying at our house while Amy and Ryan have Baby Reagan, and Hailey's a big fan of Lexi. She always wants to kiss her and hug her and wonders where she is. It's really cute.

This afternoon, she decided that she wanted to sit on Lexi's bed with her, and take a picture...

Hailey: "Take a picture Kimmy"

Lexi: "Mom...why is she on my bed?"


Hailey: "Wanna kiss?"

Hailey: "This is a good spot to watch TV"

Lexi: "Make yourself at home"

Lexi: "I love kids, but she's taking over my bed!"

Hailey: "Excuse me Lexi, I need more room"

Hailey: "La la la, just playin on my bed!"

Lexi: "Okay now Im only halfway on my bed, but Im determined to hold my ground!"

Lexi: "Really Kid? You kicked me off my own bed!"

Lexi: "Oh well, she's kinda cute!"

January Birthdays

Wow...I need to blog some more!

So.....I guess Ive fallen off the blogging bandwagon!

Not much has been going on with Eric and I since my birthday. We've been laying low and just hanging out with our family. Mostly, we're all just waiting for Reagan to get here! Silly girl is taking her sweet time to come meet us!

Eric and I saw "Avatar" this weekend with his parents, and it was a great movie! I definitely recommend it in 3-D.

My big focus lately is "gymming it up" with Eric. He's always so good at going to the gym, so I've decided that I'll work on being more dedicated to the gym too! My goal is to actually see some results and lose a few inches in the next few months. No particular amount of weight, or time frame...just SOMETHING! We'll see how long this lasts!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Happy Birthday to ME
Happy Birthday to ME
Happy Birthday to MEEEEEEEEE
Happy Birthday to ME!




Im turning 26 today, and I have to say I don't feel any older! I think my life is right where I want it to be. Eric and I couldn't be happier in our home, and we say it all the time how much we love our life. Im about to be an Aunt to another beautiful baby girl, and I absolutely cannot wait for her to get here! And we've got a busy upcoming year with some of our closest friends and even family getting married.




This morning I woke up to a house FULL of sticky notes telling me "Happy Birthday!" They were all so cute, and I kept finding them while I was getting ready.

On the coffee pot

All over the fridge

On my vanity mirror, he told me "You don't need Make-up"



On the bathroom mirror

Even my closet mirror!

But the funniest is when I went to get my yogurt for the day, and he even had one in there!

I'm very lucky to have Eric! To me, birthdays are a day to be reminded that you are loved and cared for, and there are so many that have already done this for me!

Auld Lang Syne...or whatever

Thursday night for New Year's Eve, we went over to our friend Kassie and Tony's house for a little party. Jared and Tina came with us, and we all had a great time!

2009 has definitely been a whirlwind for us, and we are hoping that our dreams and wishes come true in 2010. Either way, we have so much to be thankful for....family, friends, and our amazing marriage. 4 years ago today, Eric proposed to me in New York at midnight, and it is a night I will never forget!

A few pics from the evening:

Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning, we made it over to Mom's house to do Christmas with all of us girls and the husbands. We had such a great time opening stockings and then taking group pictures with our matching PJs! Dana did an awesome job picking them out!
