Happy Birthday Kaelyn!

Two days ago Kaelyn turned one! I can't believe how fast this year has gone! What a wonderful addition she has been to our family. She is our adventurer going and doing things that Maddy never did at her age (her favorite place to hang out is in the bathroom cupboard). She has such a loving and gentle spirit. She is almost always smiling! Her newest thing is giving kisses on the mouth and shaking and nodding her head to questions we ask her. She absolutely loves her sister Maddy (and most of the time the feeling is mutual). This chair she is sitting on was one of Madelyn's Christmas presents, but she has claimed it as hers and is so proud of herself when she sits in it. I love you Kaelyn! Thank you for always making your family smile!

Sea World

Before we left for our trip our neighbor gave us tickets to Sea World so while we were visiting my mom in So. California we spent a day with the girls and Baboo there. It was so much fun!

Madelyn Dec. 08

And to be fair here are some cute pics of Madelyn on our vacation. (I just looked at Kaelyn's pics and she is in her pajamas in each one. How funny!)

Kaelyn Dec. 08

I have tried to sit down and do a post about our Christmas Vacation, but have failed numerous times so here are some cute pics of Kaelyn on our trip. We first went to Grandma and Grandpa Dougherty's House in Valley Springs in Northern California and then headed down to Temecula to visit Lolo (my mom) in So. California. It was so fun!!

I love having a two year old...

...because you can find an excuse to do this!! Grandma Dougherty had some fun masks that she let Maddy play with and of course Maddy wanted everyone to be in on it. It made her day when we all agreed.Maddy and I (She is the dragon - she asked Santa to get her a dragon for Christmas this year. Besides princesses it is her favorite thing to play. I am the little boy in the background)

Two of my favorite dragons (Maddy and Daddy)

A Dragon, bunny (grandpa) and a bumble bee (Uncle Aaron)

Fun in the Vegas Snow!!!

So today I was in charge of the babysitting coop and boy did we have fun in the snow here in Vegas. Here are some fun shots of what we did!

Biggest Loser Finale Tomorrow Night!!

I am so excited because tomorrow night is the Biggest Loser Finale. I don't watch a lot of TV except an occasional Oprah, American Idol and B.L. A few friends will be coming over to watch the finale with me. If anyone that reads my blog is here in Vegas you are welcome to join us. We will be having our own contest - who can make the yummiest snack with the lowest amount of calories. I am excited to get healthy dessert/snack ideas.

Here are two of my favorite people on Tuesday Nights. They do such a good job promoting healthy eating and exercising. I would have to say though that Jillian is my favorite of the two. She just knows how to win the game and she tries to change people from the inside out.

Here's my rant: I will cry if Vicki wins tomorrow night. She is so mean and thoughtless. All she cares about is herself. I really want Michelle to win, but won't be sad if Heba wins.

We shall see!!
