Zoe

While Kaelyn and I were back visiting my parents this week...I had the opportunity to watch Zoe while they were at work. It was fun to see Zoe and Kaelyn interact, especially as Kaelyn gets older. She understands how to "gently" pet Zoe and for the most part they get along very well. I always enjoy having Zoe around. She's a very sweet dog and pretty easy going. She slept most of the day and waited by the window for her "mommy" and "daddy" to get home.

Sweet Hubby

Kaelyn and I are so happy to have Scott home now. He was gone for a whole week on business, which is a long time to be away from him. He was so excited to see us, especially Kaelyn who had really gotten good at walking while he was gone. He surprised me with very pretty flowers, which was super sweet of him. :) He's always very thoughtful. He said he missed his girls a lot and was happy to be home. We're happy to have him home too!

Wedding Supplies

The best place to find wedding supplies that I know of is The Knot Wedding Shop. When I was planning my wedding years ago, I found myself on their site many times! They have high quality supplies like camera, wedding favors, personalized gifts for attendants, cake toppers and SO much more!! I'm sure many people have heard of the Knot, but I didn't know if they were aware they had such a wonderful shop. They are the largest retailer of wedding supplies on the Internet....who wouldn't want to take advantage of such a wonderful option for brides and grooms who are planning their weddings?! Check out their site today and see what you think.

Big Girl

Just after Kaelyn turned one, she began taking a few steps at a time. She did that for a long while, and then just before Christmas she began walking more. Her steps were a little wobbly at that time, but she was making progress and could walk from one end of the room to the other. Over the holidays she became ill and it kind of delayed the progress she was making. Now, a couple of weeks later she's back at it and doing great. This week she began "officially" walking all over the place and today has learned to stand from a sitting position. She hasn't been crawling at all anymore and is a girl on the move. We're so proud of her!!


Paintball

Have you ever paintballed before? I remember doing it when I was younger, but haven't for quite some time. Scott was saying how he thought it would be a fun thing to do sometime, so I got to looking online for fun today. I came across Ultimate Paintball. They offer everything one would need to get started in this exciting sport. They sell brands like Tippmann, Spyder, Smart Parts, Dye and more!! I was very impressed with all their site had to offer, like the paintball sniper, and I think you will be as well.

Freezing outside

Kaelyn and I got home today, only to find that we had two packages waiting for us. After having been gone for several days, I figured we'd have some mail to go through. In one package was a replacement cell phone I got from Verizon since mine has consistently been acting up, and in the other was a bottle of Febreeze for me to review for a their company. Neither of these items should really have been left outdoors...as the phone was FREEZING cold and the Febreeze...well it was frozen as hard as a rock. I guess that's how it goes here in the bitter midwest though.

Reinventing America

With the way our economy is going, as well as the new President who will be stepping into office any day now....many people believe it's a good time to reinvent America!! If you are interested in this topic or want to learn more about this bold initiative to revolutionize America, check out ubercool.com...I site I recently came across all about Reinventing America.

Scott's Home!!

Kaelyn and I sure excited to see Scott pretty soon!! He has been gone for a whole week on business, and we've missed him very much! WE had a good week though...as we went and spent some time with my parents. It was nice to have their company, as well as some help with kaelyn when I needed it as well. I'm thankful they let us come stay with them over this past week...it was sure nice!! Now we're just sitting home waiting for Scott...yeah!!

Beauty Brief

I always enjoy reading information about the latest things in health and beauty. I found beautybrief.com to be a great resource when it comes to these topics. They are a weekly publication offering all kinds of information on fitness, haircare, the South Beach Diet, and more!! It's easy to read which is also a plus! If you have a moment, check it out and see for yourself.

Kaelyn updates....

It has sure been fun having a walking baby. She has been taking steps for quite some time, but to have her walking all around is cute. She's doing very well. She's still working on standing up from a sitting position, but is gradually getting better at that as well. It's fun to see her learning and doing new things. Not only is she walking around a lot more, she's also saying so many new words.
