One tired little girl

So I promise at some point soon I will post our vacation pictures. We are still recovering. Katie was sick for a large majority of the trip and is still not back on schedule or really healthy. We actually did have a great time!

Sitting with Mommy before we head to church. What picture is complete without that cheesy grin!

She was so tired after a long day with only a fifteen minute nap that she passed out in the car and didn't move even for jammies!

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!

Baby # 2

As most of you know baby Andrews # 2 is on the way. We had an ultra-sound today and found out that we are 5 weeks 3 days pregnant. Which means morning sickness may be just around the corner. I am trying to stay positive, while dreading it with all my heart. We are due January 8th. If we are two weeks early like last time that places us on Christmas Day. We are so excited to be welcoming this new baby and are already going through names and I am planning another room! We will keep you posted as we continue on this journey.

Happy First Birthday Katie!

I can't believe a year has already gone by. We celebrated Katie's birthday with many friends and family. She had a great time though all the people overwhelmed her at first. As you will see, she LOVES cake!

I made a banner for Katie on my new Cricut. "happy birthday katie!" Grandpa getting the birthday "throne" ready.

Katie couldn't wait to start opening presents. She was very interested in all the paper.

More Birthday decorations. I made the tissue paper balls using an idea from Martha Stewart.

At first she took dainty little bites. We soon morphed to full on face stuffing.

Opening presents with Mommy and Daddy.

An entire cake to herself and she didn't wan't to have any leftovers!

More face stuffing.

At first she just took a tiny taste . . . hahaha.

Looking very satisfied with herself.

We love being a family of three!

I was tickling her to try to get her to smile.

The cake!

Talking and stairs.

Katie loves babbling and crawling up the stairs. She hasn't mastered going down them yet and will just turn around and fall if I'm not there. We can't believe she will be one year old in a little over a week! The year has flown by, and yet we feel as if she has been a part of our family forever. She is just over 18 pounds which puts her in the 8 1/2 percentile for her age for weight. She is 4oth for height. She is so close to walking and has taken a few steps on her own but still prefers to crawl.
