A few more of the most recent pics.

A self-styled outfit. Dusters, purse between the legs, and diaper cover over her leggings. This is her "dusting the dog outfit." Popsicles in the backyard.

Sliding in the dress Mommy made her.

Another self-styled outfit. These pink boots make a daily appearance unless I hide them.

I know . . .it's been months!

So, not surprisingly pregnancy takes it out of me for the entire first 18 weeks! But I have managed to take some pictures and videos for your viewing pleasure.


We just found out this week we are having a baby boy! I am so excited. Let the shopping begin! I have visions of being a hockey mom and cute little polo shirts.


Katie is 16 months old and a real handful. She talks non-stop and loves to scream "Mommy" all the time. She also likes singing, music, books, Oakley (oatley) and having Daddy throw her in the air. She fills our days with laughter and we collapse exhausted at the end of the day. Just this week I thought she was following me into the bedroom and when I looked back she was riding Oakley stark naked and having a blast. My days are filled with funny stories like this!

Playing in the river with Daddy when we went camping.

And Mommy.



Reading her books.

At our neighborhood pool. This child is a fish! She will be blue and shaking and still scream when we take her out of the pool.

The whole family in Pagosa Springs. We had a family reunion with Taylor's side of the family.
All 10 grandchildren! We are the proud parents of girl #5 and boy #5!

She loves these dog bowls. We can't keep her out of them!
