God blessed us immensely this year. We were able to buy gifts for a few less fortunate kids, deliver gifts to sweet children whose parents sadly are in prison, spend a couple of days with Jeremy's family and squeeze in a short visit with my sister. It was truly a perfect Christmas.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">(You can read this post how ever you wish, but it will make the most sense if you scroll to the bottom to start.

We were all up checking out what Santa brought by 4:45am! (yes that is correct) Needless to say all of us adults had about 8 cups of coffee to find our smiles for the camera. Santa brought our sweet girls a train set, blocks, books, puzzles, games and clothes. It was so fun to see their faces when they realized Santa brought exactly what they asked for.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6YTh0ZR2T3CNeTo9OpuWVST6WA5-lWvPssLtom8ghOZp-6jycCYosLNvqXYZ0yWXNI9tKfvYee9S-iO2TnAYZfej1V7g73XOFxum22QIeNjn12ZF_PbnC3pfHE4RoYOcF3f7FGcv0s53/s1600/112010+and+122010+111.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6YTh0ZR2T3CNeTo9OpuWVST6WA5-lWvPssLtom8ghOZp-6jycCYosLNvqXYZ0yWXNI9tKfvYee9S-iO2TnAYZfej1V7g73XOFxum22QIeNjn12ZF_PbnC3pfHE4RoYOcF3f7FGcv0s53/s320/112010+and+122010+111.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558783976082610386" border="0" /></a>It snowed a little the night we got there. Thankfully there was an area on the golf course completely shaded. The snow melted everywhere else but this little bitty section, which was just enough to go sledding down. The girls loved it, but I have to admit I loved it more!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihRb5SHZHldCLgxxkCZlhnKrm7yYavvd-s3zp0Os0xgjaXLRq7llkQQUjcBwfQ8LarRySNqSeLlVcutUSBPItk8uXikK0M9Y7qOTc4L3xiu0ONfLXVt8NeDz4vaWbWdfLZSrsgXFpQ-hv-/s1600/112010+and+122010+067.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihRb5SHZHldCLgxxkCZlhnKrm7yYavvd-s3zp0Os0xgjaXLRq7llkQQUjcBwfQ8LarRySNqSeLlVcutUSBPItk8uXikK0M9Y7qOTc4L3xiu0ONfLXVt8NeDz4vaWbWdfLZSrsgXFpQ-hv-/s320/112010+and+122010+067.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558783181222048226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfl3Vk-WEP0WPnx5oqxdd3UjQn5Mg7N_7Rx_sm2FPdEt3ma5EqhYZ8Qb0kfv_6AB8LBcn9Y0_ng0OGuqry_wZrMjj5hdGrbq3ruLw_gYCBBJcR6r34OXL9du_9-z7sKbDpieJhgW2XD_qg/s1600/112010+and+122010+054.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfl3Vk-WEP0WPnx5oqxdd3UjQn5Mg7N_7Rx_sm2FPdEt3ma5EqhYZ8Qb0kfv_6AB8LBcn9Y0_ng0OGuqry_wZrMjj5hdGrbq3ruLw_gYCBBJcR6r34OXL9du_9-z7sKbDpieJhgW2XD_qg/s320/112010+and+122010+054.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558781990635978082" border="0" /></a>We got the chance to spend Christmas in Cloudcroft, NM with Jeremy's family. Jeremy's Aunt Nita has a cabin on the golf course. It was so much fun!

Not totally convinced we could keep Mallory from eating regular gingerbread and not wanting to spend a small fortune making GF gingerbread only to throw it away we went with Trix and marshmallows. The weight of the icing proved to be to much as it collapsed fairly quickly despite structural enhancements by the our resident civil engineer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxloNoJLnIKoYn76Iue0lByx5jjCxByjxRiyScTAWAGX91UTcIjBr8F41sMinmHUENOArBDKgPk6kqTL1ZzAFXe7nYrHbx93ePPTPE8c0xuLG0URE_wLQ63oexNvDLvPYRSlIMubq2Eotb/s1600/112010+and+122010+037.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxloNoJLnIKoYn76Iue0lByx5jjCxByjxRiyScTAWAGX91UTcIjBr8F41sMinmHUENOArBDKgPk6kqTL1ZzAFXe7nYrHbx93ePPTPE8c0xuLG0URE_wLQ63oexNvDLvPYRSlIMubq2Eotb/s320/112010+and+122010+037.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558778637473898082" border="0" /></a>From Dec 12th until we left to see Gran & Grandad we made a craft <span style="font-size:85%;">(ha! or "crap" as Mallory says.

I can't believe how fast the last year went by. 2010 was a wonderful year for us and God provided so many sweet moments with our girls and wonderful memories that I hope I can always recall.<br /><br />Mallory and Kelby were the silliest two year olds around. Watching them learn, discover and share everything they were figuring out was priceless! So far having two three year olds in the house is proving a bit challenging only because they stepped up their "A Game" faster than Momma did. It is hilarious to hear them talking as they play, plotting their next move and discussing the days events.<br /><br />Mallory is definitely our comedian and little ham. She instantly can pull a funny stunt when the mood gets too serious or the car is too quiet. Kelby is still the prankster and her laugh gives her away every time she realizes she got you.<br /><br />One thing we did not do enough of in 2010 is blog and for that I am so sorry! I promise to be better at carving out time to update the blog.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTHywm1gWn8qJvRo8k43bPTI5iBnSz8ApxS1vKkRsDre6WtcwtdIOCgjvleqbr1KRZtU-xAOwWQKqnNt3XANqvjv0f1smIswjLZxEtQE0FIT40q2x1v5HuSDkl9r5bwhQaMVDU89oXd-O0/s1600/112010+and+122010+047.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTHywm1gWn8qJvRo8k43bPTI5iBnSz8ApxS1vKkRsDre6WtcwtdIOCgjvleqbr1KRZtU-xAOwWQKqnNt3XANqvjv0f1smIswjLZxEtQE0FIT40q2x1v5HuSDkl9r5bwhQaMVDU89oXd-O0/s320/112010+and+122010+047.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558778031779979074" border="0" /></a>Hugs<br /><br />&<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid4TCZPTKPjr4BZSd2pNIaH6ulygidAw1NrqxaHDxyzWuBh9begW3RnEWJYCNEBM54OAkA8OPCR6fK3DWOu787vnAWr8tz1cLM10BsyaBiugq49eoW_Fdj4V1vOv9DZHLjvPtpv6U64CBn/s1600/112010+and+122010+050.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid4TCZPTKPjr4BZSd2pNIaH6ulygidAw1NrqxaHDxyzWuBh9begW3RnEWJYCNEBM54OAkA8OPCR6fK3DWOu787vnAWr8tz1cLM10BsyaBiugq49eoW_Fdj4V1vOv9DZHLjvPtpv6U64CBn/s320/112010+and+122010+050.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558777485833543154" border="0" /></a>Kisses,<br /><br />Jeremy, Jennifer Mallory & Kelby<br /></div>Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-20865543878972243092010-10-20T14:15:00.002-05:002010-10-20T14:25:11.558-05:00Cheatham Family Summer SummaryWe had a great summer that as always went by way to quickly!

Jeremy's cousin Kerrie got married at the end of July to Tyler DeHay. It was the most beautiful wedding and Kerrie looked gorgeous! It was great to see all of Jeremy's extended family and celebrate with Tyler and Kerrie on their special day. The girls loved dancing and playing with their cousins.<br /><br />A few pics below:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6R3WUn27v-ziCNxYyxiKxubeHeesTkguNlvBZjOPDyg0BY8260K815ZWlS3YhlQSCgpKqtH8pjGy-bqf6doQduTVK-Tg7uSovjyiwAPH-fQNMSmtFV0cCG26lykkX2oLNGxqGiVnDMt1S/s1600/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+214.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6R3WUn27v-ziCNxYyxiKxubeHeesTkguNlvBZjOPDyg0BY8260K815ZWlS3YhlQSCgpKqtH8pjGy-bqf6doQduTVK-Tg7uSovjyiwAPH-fQNMSmtFV0cCG26lykkX2oLNGxqGiVnDMt1S/s320/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+214.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530208417375703954" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLRMRTA8BEV9ZPrOeS4KpX5j_HPHfZHcDF1eqev3voItmiM8xAorL8SUo6aCxnJQen65MSnO4_SdHNhYitRsGTqP-q3DehweCfo3B4mVCJHC_DJbXOVeZAfRd18gF5NH_d4RDnhaEeGsTv/s1600/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+159.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLRMRTA8BEV9ZPrOeS4KpX5j_HPHfZHcDF1eqev3voItmiM8xAorL8SUo6aCxnJQen65MSnO4_SdHNhYitRsGTqP-q3DehweCfo3B4mVCJHC_DJbXOVeZAfRd18gF5NH_d4RDnhaEeGsTv/s320/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+159.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530207554098164802" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjms0RBuAcDqpjJ_byEJCwTNu2bpg7W5VmOdklRwCmNXJnIB4fGpDmH9gZrUMJbMt1Rlx3D2T_Kp-SbXodOt6oF6KLM7W8wLCY_FDN6CNmLt17F02FgzjUCcqzVc9uQ4_Xb5-35hba0_f4a/s1600/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+016.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjms0RBuAcDqpjJ_byEJCwTNu2bpg7W5VmOdklRwCmNXJnIB4fGpDmH9gZrUMJbMt1Rlx3D2T_Kp-SbXodOt6oF6KLM7W8wLCY_FDN6CNmLt17F02FgzjUCcqzVc9uQ4_Xb5-35hba0_f4a/s320/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530207015419170674" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikMbypa3U4aKAlh_E-fAOdEhqHvkTSQxRF8grcnECJnrl4Ry3shRD6yfDjybSZNiC7YYvodDZJ_o9Cdzei0g2AUeKkAYaonAKTDIOUPgVqvCg8UCwio4UdI2lcETnwzU1nQsd1VwnLv5V0/s1600/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+221.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikMbypa3U4aKAlh_E-fAOdEhqHvkTSQxRF8grcnECJnrl4Ry3shRD6yfDjybSZNiC7YYvodDZJ_o9Cdzei0g2AUeKkAYaonAKTDIOUPgVqvCg8UCwio4UdI2lcETnwzU1nQsd1VwnLv5V0/s320/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+221.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530205310138066018" border="0" /></a>Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-21911968442332685442010-10-20T13:31:00.006-05:002010-10-20T13:54:49.234-05:00Catch Up & BYBCOh my goodness! Has it really been almost four months since our last post? WOW! so sorry to any fans we still have left out there in blog-ville. Sadly once the craziness of this summer slowed down I was totally out of the habit of blogging that it got pushed further and further down the to-do list. I am currently monitoring nap time, and after checking email, figured I would blog a bit.<br /><br />Where to begin?<br /><br />July:<br />We hosted a backyard bible club (BYBC) for out church this summer and had a BLAST!! BYBC is our church's version of vacation bible school with a twist, instead of meeting at church the meet in neighborhoods around the city. Kids from our high school youth group volunteer to come around to each house and teach the elementary kids about God. Going into it I knew it would be fun, but was not at all prepared to be blown away by how much these high school kids truly love Jesus and their ability to get the younger kids on fire for him every evening in the 100+ degree weather. It was absolutely amazing!!! We can't wait to host another BYBC next summer!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWutc8DB2T95doV8R1_5vfCSa2CAzlFRAfpB4uTv-pUTnyxSE78GDbN1XptrcasjxXX17PJMUC5xeGhqG9TAMW8NKaFW317DPjCTG4mnuNAjxqRxrr3qe6SeYv5iKXKqeyrU8MRG7n4ULw/s1600/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+099.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWutc8DB2T95doV8R1_5vfCSa2CAzlFRAfpB4uTv-pUTnyxSE78GDbN1XptrcasjxXX17PJMUC5xeGhqG9TAMW8NKaFW317DPjCTG4mnuNAjxqRxrr3qe6SeYv5iKXKqeyrU8MRG7n4ULw/s320/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+099.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530200414624499314" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikgrhTB8NwrPLCETWm0Wj9Xr8IykEJrRxlSx6X9KJM5-ZIzNGcpIk-THXExpGY2zz-lh5yEEteYBDk9_Z59MRszQEbPxJtKDojw6C8O6MrN2yY4Jz63LCVH4thW7O3-O9K82OzLJT-0zsV/s1600/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+058.jpg"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VQqQArGBewkxRdwe4HJ_G48RF6emH7xifAOpwBCHiiQ4UzbFLzv9QXPEaxx-U6m1NY-uYo_tyNJifpgJq5mkVh9IVPswh_oowjm9QZV4odw77uzLaLj0a5q3_kORLK-lkHxU9bJS3T8a/s1600/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+056.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VQqQArGBewkxRdwe4HJ_G48RF6emH7xifAOpwBCHiiQ4UzbFLzv9QXPEaxx-U6m1NY-uYo_tyNJifpgJq5mkVh9IVPswh_oowjm9QZV4odw77uzLaLj0a5q3_kORLK-lkHxU9bJS3T8a/s320/BYBC-Kerrie's+Wedding+-July+056.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530202671665161746" border="0" /></a>Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-67532043735099322842010-07-06T16:04:00.020-05:002010-09-16T10:33:00.754-05:004th Pics.

I LOVE the 4th!! Normally I get all festive with cookies and decorations but this year the weeks prior were a little chaotic. We improvised with Starbuck's vanilla fraps and popcorn as our festive food. The three day weekend made it even better. I love when the holiday falls on the weekend so that Jeremy can have a three day weekend home with us.<br /><br />The day itself kicked with a great church service. After which rushed home packed a picnic then went to the Round Rock parade. The girls loved it despite the extreme heat and humidity. It was a first for us as parents to see how much you have to help your kids grab the candy tossed to them. Unfortunately we were surrounded by quick aggressive kids and parents that saw the candy tossed by parade floats as a contest. The girls loved the parade though and the horses were the biggest hit as always. Afterward, we came home for naps and ice cream followed by pizza and fireworks.<br /><br />With all of the rain lately several cities and organizations had to reschedule their firework displays. Thankfully the city of Pflugerville did not have too and we were able to see a great show Sunday night. Our subdivision is less than a mile from Lake Pflugerville where the fireworks took place, so we were able to walk over with out having to mess with parking and shuttle buses. Waiting for sun down proved tricky as their is only so much to do, but once the show began the girls LOVED it!!Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-89576337967219689592010-07-06T15:23:00.007-05:002010-07-06T15:37:39.309-05:00Summer Fun<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdAhh10Fh-GDXdO6dxgUYoJ5xCjPx4oP-YJfbvoBDgUMQiRTShr5gC4wMF_I8JI34_QMc8lyPY2XFk6wa5mzrrP0ovGYZg0HHVzQKBFDXce54I-99Nc1Ml7dWcaY4Neroj_83BbMEC2gcL/s1600/M&K032.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdAhh10Fh-GDXdO6dxgUYoJ5xCjPx4oP-YJfbvoBDgUMQiRTShr5gC4wMF_I8JI34_QMc8lyPY2XFk6wa5mzrrP0ovGYZg0HHVzQKBFDXce54I-99Nc1Ml7dWcaY4Neroj_83BbMEC2gcL/s320/M&K032.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490892787873979794" border="0" /></a>Princess Brenlee!

Factor being a parent to a child with Celiac and that pretty much limits any trips to fast food establishments for these girlies. I do however love McDonald's fries (I am American!) and thankfully they are one of the few places that does not fry their fries in the same fryer as other food; therefore they are Gluten Free. Our nieces came to stay for a week and the trade off spot was supposed to be Starbuck's. However, Eastland's Starbucks is no longer open so McDonald's was second on the list. ~~Hey a road trip with four girls REQUIRES coffee!~~~Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-85437065692264490452010-07-06T15:14:00.004-05:002010-07-06T15:23:07.975-05:00Father's Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj06nOMEtkgDop3y_-7WYn1yFlqlDfYvkAfcFzkCljY3UNDlXI-xpwX0yOXqW-OQxL__48Cx-x4xLzjbIaXiF98Z0qeNF69d3D-0sea6tlXd8qYxJFdWvd08QMBi3_8Gal7hLiM8p4Pbt1D/s1600/M&K003.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj06nOMEtkgDop3y_-7WYn1yFlqlDfYvkAfcFzkCljY3UNDlXI-xpwX0yOXqW-OQxL__48Cx-x4xLzjbIaXiF98Z0qeNF69d3D-0sea6tlXd8qYxJFdWvd08QMBi3_8Gal7hLiM8p4Pbt1D/s320/M&K003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490890670010027394" border="0" /></a><br />Father's Day was a complete day of celebrating the wonderful Daddy that Jeremy is to the girls.

After putting the girls to bed at 8ish, going in twice to silence the giggle fest we finally headed to bed at 11. Jeremy checked on the girls and they were sleeping peacefully in their own beds. However Saturday morning when we went in to get them, they were snuggled up on Mallory's bed. They had already run off to play by the time I found the camera to take a picture. We have no idea when Kelby climbed in bed with Mallory. They have not slept together in the same bed in two years. I love the bond they have. Nothing is sweeter.Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-16935383955096530902010-06-07T21:32:00.006-05:002010-06-07T21:40:22.773-05:00Play time<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZMMaAQVfRqbM7NsUMsRtwBtUCcWDAR4ZoUcSQQ2UVauTS78-yNsoxEDHZbm8e6dUQqcw_MZJCvYqrI-m4JAyjnEVjqBggYeAoBwgWgkdebtjR8ragAFNcHmA4OTLZvITYMD0VetiLk6o/s1600/M&K008.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZMMaAQVfRqbM7NsUMsRtwBtUCcWDAR4ZoUcSQQ2UVauTS78-yNsoxEDHZbm8e6dUQqcw_MZJCvYqrI-m4JAyjnEVjqBggYeAoBwgWgkdebtjR8ragAFNcHmA4OTLZvITYMD0VetiLk6o/s320/M&K008.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480226547882678162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0mKeQvjmyIda7PDBRb6fs2ehkz7-dQdgHbKXOB0QK4Ki0g7eEepo5DFcxs1jK9xPgU2nGzkqSVtSAGI5GGwL6PE5GYtG4AdkdomtgswiC-4__o1y5SigcqQXmGqC6taA3J0KIVJ919gZ0/s1600/M&K005.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0mKeQvjmyIda7PDBRb6fs2ehkz7-dQdgHbKXOB0QK4Ki0g7eEepo5DFcxs1jK9xPgU2nGzkqSVtSAGI5GGwL6PE5GYtG4AdkdomtgswiC-4__o1y5SigcqQXmGqC6taA3J0KIVJ919gZ0/s320/M&K005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480226299386906386" border="0" /></a>Mallory in deep concentration!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFOJc4HQZuEmGe5UN8MK3JXXMfH-upD0ktwMAp937wnwNKlee31rMpA3L8uLBTnpXvJdUsFCAKGdPdOqybbUAzjZoXCOa5EIy8SPzfCVnZikprem7mHpqN02C1OaYi1HVVY-j_eXj7MGw/s1600/M&K012.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFOJc4HQZuEmGe5UN8MK3JXXMfH-upD0ktwMAp937wnwNKlee31rMpA3L8uLBTnpXvJdUsFCAKGdPdOqybbUAzjZoXCOa5EIy8SPzfCVnZikprem7mHpqN02C1OaYi1HVVY-j_eXj7MGw/s320/M&K012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480226093989885970" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2AfLM5hoX9ts6A4MnG-vZ2db-6xuhmOpdwFrbfRcs3vaRG8XCCzNQPBC92LE7b4IL5HphC07zevntTdP6H8MAXR11qluCeIWocX38Z_u4qLZLIbFyV42BymXEp872z6cGD9MouvDuTE7x/s1600/M&K015.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2AfLM5hoX9ts6A4MnG-vZ2db-6xuhmOpdwFrbfRcs3vaRG8XCCzNQPBC92LE7b4IL5HphC07zevntTdP6H8MAXR11qluCeIWocX38Z_u4qLZLIbFyV42BymXEp872z6cGD9MouvDuTE7x/s320/M&K015.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480225553375034706" border="0" /></a>Mallory is the best little Mommy to her baby dolls.

However, that is not the case. These bath tub toys are in line to "go potty". Their potty is at the other end of the bath tub, this is merely the line. Kelby makes sure every night during the bath that each and every toy has a chance to "go potty". She is very insistent in her directions to the toys that they "Go potty, right now, OK! Right now, go potty." Thankfully, she is not playing with the real potty or even her real potty. Mallory is the cheerleader for the bath tub toys. When they have finished she energetically claps and says "Yeah! Good job, you did it!"Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-35369975355650190922010-06-07T20:16:00.017-05:002010-06-07T21:22:00.504-05:00Cripple Creek Ranch<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggKrbIaI1qnEcLB9_VIFxZJvW_kgALSf94mghtRAosgxwiyMHHc59qHASWBwoe60jZ9l5NziGc8kpsToRnfu691ms6Eli9IrcVBz9Nhf1ZHmC_tWIHOL3Afws-VSePSs2uDJsHI7fu9LM9/s1600/IMG_0393.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggKrbIaI1qnEcLB9_VIFxZJvW_kgALSf94mghtRAosgxwiyMHHc59qHASWBwoe60jZ9l5NziGc8kpsToRnfu691ms6Eli9IrcVBz9Nhf1ZHmC_tWIHOL3Afws-VSePSs2uDJsHI7fu9LM9/s320/IMG_0393.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480205908165154530" border="0" /></a><br />This picture pretty much says it all! We had a wonderful opportunity to go to a friends family ranch for the weekend a while back. Araceli and Hunt Hellums are dear friends of ours and when the offered we could not say no. Their family ranch is in Medina, TX and truly sits on the most beautiful piece of property either of us have ever seen. Hunt's parents host camps and hunting trips for orphans all across the state. The ranch consists of 5 or 6 cabins, a main house, lodge, several ponds to fish in, horse back riding, canoeing, swimming pool, tons of hiking trails and a peaceful creek to listen too.<br /><br />We had so much fun getting to visit with some great friends we hadn't seen in a while and enjoying every bit of the ranch. Heidi came along too for the adventures and honestly had more fun than anyone there! She completely checked her "spoiled lap dog" attitude at the gate and became Heidi the ranch dog. She out ran the ranch dogs, swam in the lake and river every chance she got, bailed out of the jeep while it was moving, chased the roosters and quickly treed the ranch cat in mere seconds. By the end of the weekend she had earned the name White Lighten'.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdabT40AmXTIRDlEkS6gv-NOfmY2sMqWsM7OqGTg0hihwxBqFWyedsznG080lipx7Th5wuoZGntFI2bbY58pxSYTSi7YGsMB87hHRYfxI2eok2rTmKB6b5wdxcD-KLUUjPvxCrXYeTC_EZ/s1600/ranch2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdabT40AmXTIRDlEkS6gv-NOfmY2sMqWsM7OqGTg0hihwxBqFWyedsznG080lipx7Th5wuoZGntFI2bbY58pxSYTSi7YGsMB87hHRYfxI2eok2rTmKB6b5wdxcD-KLUUjPvxCrXYeTC_EZ/s320/ranch2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480217796096144242" border="0" /></a>Mallory's turn.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Zbmdblk9kyIAGDO5KdIc2lzN8oB33OhfU0QS1Ss-R8b1W7XYy6OQ4ymuJAJVQg37CCkBopUBoGKe4_X-AalXhPtkLioCcVfY5vyH6rzL4HfRBI3uYQx1BiNm8oRJaoyBdAIZHtP-eOo1/s1600/IMG_0402.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Zbmdblk9kyIAGDO5KdIc2lzN8oB33OhfU0QS1Ss-R8b1W7XYy6OQ4ymuJAJVQg37CCkBopUBoGKe4_X-AalXhPtkLioCcVfY5vyH6rzL4HfRBI3uYQx1BiNm8oRJaoyBdAIZHtP-eOo1/s320/IMG_0402.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480207238356948290" border="0" /></a>Araceli helping Kelby hit the pinata.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9JX28-0oCt90aIHbt3FTZsoYpXXu5S99XSsJz5tXVSVop0t3WUgSdPiRFLlMctkIjJecKHodO2kgyj25IE0a-Xupd-W-eHTiQQ7pqkvBd85Ec_oOUg3y_9nUkcB8XFvqgw5-pNdSMkex/s1600/ranch3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9JX28-0oCt90aIHbt3FTZsoYpXXu5S99XSsJz5tXVSVop0t3WUgSdPiRFLlMctkIjJecKHodO2kgyj25IE0a-Xupd-W-eHTiQQ7pqkvBd85Ec_oOUg3y_9nUkcB8XFvqgw5-pNdSMkex/s320/ranch3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480218407238678306" border="0" /></a>Alex clearly had some experience hitting pinatas.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQL3OJE9vqBCvWT0dw41Qmcct1rkZpLIdiaCCH4GKlXPZ2jMWuwTvO-U9_QtpFwHgpTA4dNpbXTOT6_xjyHzBpwZxHwUTlBDE2r0SgYofJ8nRmibNQVUsf4R5ARP5850_FqSh6SXP37BS/s1600/ranch5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQQL3OJE9vqBCvWT0dw41Qmcct1rkZpLIdiaCCH4GKlXPZ2jMWuwTvO-U9_QtpFwHgpTA4dNpbXTOT6_xjyHzBpwZxHwUTlBDE2r0SgYofJ8nRmibNQVUsf4R5ARP5850_FqSh6SXP37BS/s320/ranch5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480219066457902786" border="0" /></a>Heidi was really hopping Luke would whack it open.

Taking full advantage of a nice day we headed down to fabulous Zilker park to play and ride the train. Our cameras memory was almost full so we didn't get to take very many pictures but did snap a few of the girls riding on the train. After the girls played and played on the play ground.

After taking down the cribs we taped off the walls, painted and the set their beds up the following day. A simple painting task took longer than expected. You may remember that we had diamonds painted around the girls room. Well we foolishly assumed they would easily be covered with two coats of paint. Unfortunately, it took two coats of primer and two coats of paint. Not exactly in the plan or budget for that matter- but it finally got done! We have a few more things we want to add to the room, but for the most part it is complete!<br /><br />The big reveal!

Babies will no longer sleep in this room. It is soon to be occupied by little girls. Little girls that can get in and out of bed on their own, open doors, feed themselves, and dress themselves. Little girls that can now request songs, shows, food, toys and activities. Little girls that no longer need to be carried everywhere, but can walk and even run where ever they want to go. TONS and TONS of fun times lie ahead. But our hearts were heavy with the fact that babyhood was over!! Very thankful for pictures, because I do not feel that I enjoyed it enough. If I could do it over again, I hope that I would soak up every little moment!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAkdfTuW_X3OLY-gfNDozXLKK4cOwo3Q91jVHJ-C_M9LtFzlx7NDp8Ympn1c-7zumvwQauPk4BuAGLwrhwKUVnMZEXASGjSFarOHmHCv91YxF0-ote5i1rAPssB187vl5Y7K1XZ1EiHYCC/s1600/IMG_0347.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAkdfTuW_X3OLY-gfNDozXLKK4cOwo3Q91jVHJ-C_M9LtFzlx7NDp8Ympn1c-7zumvwQauPk4BuAGLwrhwKUVnMZEXASGjSFarOHmHCv91YxF0-ote5i1rAPssB187vl5Y7K1XZ1EiHYCC/s320/IMG_0347.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480140880024216242" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/JENNIF%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-5.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/JENNIF%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-3.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/JENNIF%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-4.png" alt="" />Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-74108949664706837782010-06-07T14:39:00.008-05:002010-06-07T15:09:45.488-05:00March of Dimes Walk 2010Hello from the long lost world of parenting toddlers. Whew! They are lovable, hilarious, creative and exhausting! haha!<br /><br />To start the first of many updates, here are pictures from the March of Dimes Walk. We proudly raised a little over $150 this year. Thank you so much to everyone that donated. The walk was fantastic as always. A bit breezy and cool, but much better than hot and humid! This year the 5K trek went through the capital grounds (instead of just around the perimeter) which for this extremely patriotic political junkie, was an added bonus. Something about walking on the grounds of the state capital just energizes me! ( I am a dork, I know!)<br /><br />As we mentioned before, this year Evan's name was on one of the memorial towers. Seeing her name was such a reminder of why we walk and the miracles that God does through the March of Dimes. Below are a few pictures from the walk. We wanted to have shirts made this year, but procrastination got the best of me. Here's hoping for next year!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoO2DJ2yEPbY5NH-da_s2Bcd5Mo__FSTcdeeVgkk7j41LLlb2fWEGKbdhhNVeDORejVryo_2BUtYXLvDmdtpBhRSi_iapUxLqzxg9-UqeQm2eozmon-04dq2sjLm8xxrqu-M74ObZ5L7-l/s1600/IMG_0390.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoO2DJ2yEPbY5NH-da_s2Bcd5Mo__FSTcdeeVgkk7j41LLlb2fWEGKbdhhNVeDORejVryo_2BUtYXLvDmdtpBhRSi_iapUxLqzxg9-UqeQm2eozmon-04dq2sjLm8xxrqu-M74ObZ5L7-l/s320/IMG_0390.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480121912764368962" border="0" /></a> Evan's tower reads:<br />Evan Reese Cheatham<br />November 16, 2007<br />Psalms 4:13<br /><span style="font-size:100%;"> <span style="font-style: italic;">Thank you God for the five hours we had Evan in our arms,<br />but more importantly, for holding her in yours until we get home.</span></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3jHYKO7zMDF6Xvv50by0fRnqjDWmT-fwOU7lxkSlSbW0H6ky_GZzKfRey8JE-D2K84fazQwWDIbeBm9_FwAQ_pPh0G_UmsIwcKRtxD2WL4n9TWPozdZZtJxBr9LkkiavP0M0ewgJS-eH6/s1600/IMG_0389.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3jHYKO7zMDF6Xvv50by0fRnqjDWmT-fwOU7lxkSlSbW0H6ky_GZzKfRey8JE-D2K84fazQwWDIbeBm9_FwAQ_pPh0G_UmsIwcKRtxD2WL4n9TWPozdZZtJxBr9LkkiavP0M0ewgJS-eH6/s320/IMG_0389.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480124835292436082" border="0" /></a></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBb0WTgBXzPW-j5_yxZLWJ9vuYcKMFQUfAaXiztAdbHB_b18Z6hyphenhyphen72eHZckYei_6_ZXyNKWzqnLJZIN07_NGOd5ryJBl5AZTrlMajysOQ_shJu5fsXQ4oMHuOG_HQgPG8YamuxHx1190NX/s1600/IMG_0375.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBb0WTgBXzPW-j5_yxZLWJ9vuYcKMFQUfAaXiztAdbHB_b18Z6hyphenhyphen72eHZckYei_6_ZXyNKWzqnLJZIN07_NGOd5ryJBl5AZTrlMajysOQ_shJu5fsXQ4oMHuOG_HQgPG8YamuxHx1190NX/s320/IMG_0375.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480122335061760130" border="0" /></a>We borrowed two single jogging strollers for the walk this year.

I was 16wks along in the whole pregnancy journey and the weight of that news was literally every emotion in the book. Yet at the same time, we were over come by the peace that only God could give us, as he quickly comforted Jeremy and I with his assurance that he was still in control. <br /><br />After we left the sonogram we called our church and asked to pray with a pastor. God connected us with Doug James, a pastor on staff at HCBC. A connection was instantly formed with him and we dearly love and cherish him. He is a wonderful man after God's own heart and is everything you could want in a family pastor. I could go on and on and on about how much he means to our family, but that is not the intention of this post.<br /><br />God also brought a wonderful and remarkable woman into our lives. After every service as Tim would ask a deacon or elder to offer the benediction, elders and members of the prayer team come forward to pray with members of the congregation individually. One of those people was <a href="http://rebeccaodell.com">Rebecca McIntosh O'Dell</a>. I can vividly remember the first time we meet. She looked stunning as always, and with her warm smile greeted us genuinely. We began to share our prayer request, she laid her hands on my pregnant belly and prayed for us. Each Sunday there after, when our paths would cross, she would make a point to stop and pray for us. Her heart for God was inspiring. She truly lived out our call as Christians to be His hands and feet.<br /><br />I learned today that she passed away over the weekend. I do not know the cause of death, but I do know that there is a HUGE party in Heaven as she is welcomed home. I am certain that she is hearing those words we all hope to hear, "Well done my good and faithful servant, well done!"Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-63661555202604277522010-04-23T12:50:00.003-05:002010-04-23T13:21:13.721-05:00Life with Lemonade and Peach Tea..........Well those are my new nick names for them. =) As they were playing the other day outside -Austin truly has the best spring time weather- I got the craving for old fashioned lemonade or ice cold peach tea. Looking at my two giggle boxes I thought, well there you have it- Refreshing Lemonade and Peach Tea! - totally different yet equally fantastic!<br /><br /> A quick update on my lovely ladies. Both are completely chatter boxes. In the last 4 weeks they have totally expanded their vocabulary, but mainly we can actually hold a conversation with them and know they understand. I love it! As I get ready in the morning they sit on the bathroom mat, eating Dora cereal chatting with me about the days events. Granted there are still moments of fighting over where to sit, who can touch Heidi, quick checks to make sure their cereal cups are equally full and the list can continue, but all of that quickly vanishes back to giggles and chats about what to do.<br /><br />Mallory and Kelby are both still being seen by ECI. We continue to be blessed with wonderful therapist that are truly knowledgeable in their field of expertise. They girls will remain in that program until they turn 3. (sniff, sniff, don't want to think about how fast the next 7 mths will go!) At that time, if developmental services are still needed they will be seen by the school district. With all of that said though, they are developing so well. The girls annual evaluation was at the beginning of this month and in every area they are with in 4mths of their age group or above in some cases.<br /><br />As far as potty training goes, I had huge hopes of Mallory catching on quickly and diapers going away. Granted thinking that our trips down the baby isle at HEB would be coming to an end was sad for this Momma, yet I still encouraged Mallory to wear her Dora panties proudly. ;) In the midst of praising Kelby for being Momma's big girl that could go all by herself, and still working with Mallory, Kelby began to really act out, bite aggressively and chew her nails at the cuticle. So as we pieced this puzzle together the thought crossed our minds that Kelby was not seeing being a big girl as a good thing, but more of as a punishment. Reluctantly we went back to diapers for her. This was seriously an adjustment in parenting for us, but as soon as we did her over aggressive behavior stopped, she began minding more, and her nails began to heal. In the whole process of figuring out the problem, we have redone sensory evaluations on both of the girls. Kelby has shown to have a very mild version of Sensory Integration Disorder. Both her occupational therapist and physical therapist feel that with catching it so early we can give her (and us) tools to use to help Kelby transition easier to new life stages. As we have slowly added new activities and techniques for bed time etc, we can already see a difference in her.<br /><br /> We continue to thank God for the miracle that the girls are. This is a teeny tiny drop in the big bucket of possible outcomes that they doctors gave us for Kelby. (you may remember that she was born with a grade 3 and 4 brain bleeds) If this is all we have to deal with, then bring it! Praise God for blessing our girls with the outstanding physicians, and therapist that work with them. Do not ever think a day goes by that we are not grateful and humbled for the care they have received!<br /><br />Well I am off to clean house during what is supposed to be nap time, however maybe that should be renamed giggle time as I am not hearing snoring!Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-4306086303189851052010-04-19T19:16:00.008-05:002010-04-19T19:27:54.779-05:00Springtime Playtime<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIp8dm3_SrgKlCiMFebZEzcHTyr_wFOFVoiRSjzlk4SJWtvcdJTTkhXyaP1AnT4fi_l7p0_xBMnNRxxPGY4KzLixhwpXvG9tlgp16U9lsex8vD7RUQE13avFg4PGERYQGBpimUj9pSE4hK/s1600/M&K050.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

From day one neither Mallory nor Kelby have wanted anything on their head or in their hair. Friends, family and strangers are always asking "Won't they wear bows?" To which we always sigh and say "We try, but they yank them out." The girls ask for bows all the time, but once we get them in their hair, you can almost count down the seconds before they pull them out. However, yesterday Mallory let me put her hair in pig tails. I took tons of pictures on our camera and drove her nuts talking about how cute she looked. Surprisingly today, she let me fix her hair again AND she asked for bows!! If this trend continues, I will have to get busy making hair bows. (now if her bangs will just grown out long enough to pull back.)<br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-14070276038695793152010-04-06T14:09:00.015-05:002010-04-06T22:29:30.183-05:00Pictures!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTjqNkUJQCsZWK3JRmCaP3b0YVmYtXKBygADapgiSQPccjOY9GKnhDHdS3p8RXuz0Ddr9Vvnwc88yCH_Nk-BjviUC1cib-S5FCxrEK2cVvHDUIGWA_zHqiCcfHri-wtypCxlgGz7K1ict/s1600/March'10+%26+Easter+002.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTjqNkUJQCsZWK3JRmCaP3b0YVmYtXKBygADapgiSQPccjOY9GKnhDHdS3p8RXuz0Ddr9Vvnwc88yCH_Nk-BjviUC1cib-S5FCxrEK2cVvHDUIGWA_zHqiCcfHri-wtypCxlgGz7K1ict/s320/March'10+%26+Easter+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457109767799315154" border="0" /></a><br />Kelby and her "Big girl panties"<br /> - also giving Mallory the look of "I drawn the line at sharing underwear.

We didn't get very many on Easter, both camera batteries were dead and refusing to hold charge. Jeremy tried to get a few with the video camera, not sure how well those will turn out. We had a great Easter weekend!! Friday we attended our church's Good Friday service, Saturday we hunted eggs with some friends from church -it was gorgeous outside- and Sunday we went to church then came home to spend the rest of the day with our neighbors. Most of their family lives here in the Austin area and they had some family in town for the weekend. Together there were eight kids ranging from 7mths to 7 years old. We rented a bounce house and had an egg hunt. The kids LOVED it!! They ran, played and jumped til they could hardly speak a complete sentence. Made for two very tired girlies come Sunday evening!! We are so blessed to have such wonderful neighbors that graciously included us in their family gathering. They are also from the west Texas area, so we share the appreciation of trees and "no dirt days"!Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-17923836673164565892010-03-29T21:57:00.007-05:002010-04-06T14:09:34.297-05:00I hope I never forget............It seems as if in the last few weeks my babies are now kids and as we move on to next steps I realize how much I want to go back and relive the past two years. I didn't absorb it enough. Here are a few things I hope I never forget.<br /><br />1) When you wake up, be it from nap or in the morning, Kelby always says "Hey Mallory... Boo!" and I hear you fall over in your crib laughing.<br /><br />2) "Daddy, mere, help you!" or "Momma, help you, Momma." (anytime they need some help)<br /><br />3) "Momma hold your baby, pease"<br /><br />4) "Daddy, hold you"<br /><br />5) The thrill of trying on all of your shoes in your drawer.<br /><br />6) My cleaning helpers, obsessed with organization.<br /><br />7) Claps of excitement for popcorn, chocolate milk, eggs, Dora cereal, cookies, etc.<br /><br />8) How you both instantly take your shoes off when we get in the car<br /><br />9) Sleepy sillies at night. Running around the house giggling at everything<br /><br />10) "I poop, I stink!"- Mallory<br /><br />11) Kelby- your high pitched voice as you imitate me to Mallory<br /><br />12) You both love to hold hands in the car, as we walk, in your high chairs.<br /><br />13) "Momma, Color paper, pease"<br /><br />14) Kelby- your creative hiding places and the thrill you get out of hiding things - especially your glasses (or anything of Mallory's)<br /><br />15) Playing with my shoes in the morning while I get ready.<br /><br />16) Sitting on Daddy's rug in our bathroom, side by side, eating cereal out of your snack cups in the morning.<br /><br />17) Night, Nights! - and your puppies... 'must haves' before bedtime.<br /><br />18) Reading the same book over and over and over....... and over....<br /><br />19) Your request to sing songs every where we go. And Mallory's insistence on singing while we're doing your breathing treatments... "SING.... SING... SING..."<br /><br />20) Kelby- your sweet over protectiveness of Mallory<br /><br />21) Kelby- your smirk and half laugh when something funny happens to someone else.<br /><br />22) "Uh-oh, Break it!"... (at least once a day)<br /><br />23) "Where go?" and the genuine bewilderment of not knowing where Daddy went when he's holding the blanket in front of his face... or not knowing where your cup is when you put it under the blanket... it's like Magic... and it's oh so exciting when you realize it's still there... under the blanket.<br /><br />24) Reading the same book from #18.... again.<br /><br />25) You love going to church to play with your friends, but we love how you're so excited when we come to pick you up, like you thought you'd never see us again.<br /><br />26) Kelby- We love your 'seriously thinking' face.<br /><br />27) Mallory- We love your supper sweet, flirty, ham it up smiling face when you get up in the middle of the night.<br /><br />28) That you INSIST on singing B-I-N-G-O while you use the potty. "Sing, Puppy"<br /><br />29) Dancing feet!<br /><br />30) Your fettish with wearing your church shoes around the house so you can dance.<br /><br />31) You are both so excited to see us if we leave the room for just a second.<br /><br />32) When you look at the screen of the laptop and ask for "Gran and Grandad"<br /><br />33) Mallory- you love to play like you are talking on the phone. Kelby- my future speedy texter.<br /><br />34) Your creative daring climbing abilities.<br /><br />35) Mallory- You patiently sit and use your nebulizer and get your blood drawn as long as we sing songs from Veggie Tales or church.<br /><br />36) Kelby- you are the sweetest overprotective sister.<br /><br />37) You putting your glasses on your forehead while you play "peek-a-boo"<br /><br />38) Asking where your eyes are when you look for your glasses<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />and I'm sure we'll be adding to this list as the days go by...Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4563140270699374181.post-68975617608587870782010-03-23T14:56:00.003-05:002010-03-23T15:22:44.287-05:00Are you with us???It is that time of year again, actually we are a bit late in announcing, the March of Dimes March for Babies walk is May 8, 2010 9am. This is the one event that we will try our hardest to never miss. Jeremy and I decided that our family participation in the walk would be our tribute to Evan every year. The March of Dimes is an amazing organization that does so much for NICU's across the country and research for babies born prematurely or with birth defects.<br /><br />This year is going to be extra special for us. The Austin MoD chapter has memorial towers scattered through out the grounds area on the day of the walk. These towers each pay tribute to a little one that has left this earth way to soon. I received an email Friday asking if they could do a memorial tower in honor of Evan. Of course I said yes and sent in the information. So honored and humbled that they want to honor our little girl. I know God is using her story in so many ways, and it just warms my heart when we get to be apart of it. The sponsors that donate the funding for the towers will also give us the banner after the walk as a keep sake.<br /><br />So with this special tribute we are working extra hard to raise money for the Austin MoD chapter. If you would like to donate to March of Dimes, we will have a link posted on our blog shortly. I am going to call around tomorrow to check on locations for a bake sale fundraiser and am looking into other ideas as well. If nothing else we would love to have you walk with us on Saturday May 8th. The walk is a short 3.2 miles through gorgeous downtown Austin. The path goes around the capital so there is even a photo op! We would love to have everyone join us.Mallory & Kelbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15740614477790076107noreply@blogger.com0
