I'm still here!

It has been a while but I really am still here. My only excuses for my lack of blogging are that I have a new baby, we are trying to build a new house, and my internet service is extremely slow. Maybe when the house is done and I have hi-speed my blogs will be more regular. This picture of Taylor is only a week old, I took it in Fairfield when we visited Mckay. It was so fun to see him again.

Christmas Eve

One day old

Taylor was born at 2:57 p.m. on December 20th. She weighed 7lb. 11oz. and was 21 inches long. We are enjoying her so much!

Exciting Week Ahead

Well if you haven't heard if I don't have the baby by Thursday (20th) I am going to be induced on that day! Kelly was only concerned that he already had that day off so he didn't get to skip out on work. The kids are so excited they are counting down days till the baby is born and days until Christmas. It really is a busy and exciting time for us. Our house is coming along. Almost all of the windows are in, the shingles are about 1/2 way done, and between my dad, Kelly's dad, Chase, and Kelly the basement is mostly framed (thanks for the help!).

Construction Update

Here is the back of our new house and here is the front.



We are hoping the shingles and windows and doors will all be done by the end of next week, we will see!

Pregnant Picture

Here is a nice profile shot about a week ago. Right now I have just under 4 weeks to go. We are all getting really excited for this little girl to join our family. Hopefully Kelly and I will be able to agree on a name by then.

I wanna talk about me, me, me.....

My Mom called me yesterday to see if I was still alive since my blog had not been updated for such a long time. Anyway here are 6 wonderful things about me (notice the title of the country song) Jake used to sing it when it was on the radio 10 times a day.

#1 I love dishes & get somewhat obsessed when I see a set I like but can't get or find. BTW most of my sets have been purchased on clearance - but not all of them, which brings me to
#2 I love clearance sales. Especially after holidays.
#3 I want to climb Devils Tower someday. Who's in with me?
#4 I like the way my feet look.
#5 My dishwasher has to be loaded a certain way. All the big plates, then medium, bowls all together, matching cups in rows on the top. I think you probably get the picture. It makes unloading so much easier.
#6 I have run out of ideas (sorry I'm so boring) I'll steal one from Krista I cry too when I watch the homeowners edition of Extreme Makeover.
