Kitchen Project- BEFORE pics

And we're up!!!

Up up and away! Mia first stood up in her pack n' play when I was not looking, but quickly showed me her new trick when I sat her back down. Since then, she has mastered this skill in her crib and on the ottoman. The problem is getting down. She will stand for a while and take some good licks to the face from Seis, but then yell at me to sit her back down. She has one bottom tooth that broke surface and another one on the way. This has caused her to teethe on anything- even the furniture. It gets harder every day to keep her entertained in one spot for more than a minute.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then these pictures of our 2009 "Border Town Day" experience should do the job!

Kelsey's class of 1999

This wins for "most ridiculous float" in my book.

My favorite part was the dress up bike contest. So cute!

Mia's thought on the experience...

Mia Kelly is now 8 months old!

Reunion (part 2)

So I was wrong. Apparently attending a 10 year reunion in Farwell is not a big deal. Nobody dressed up-except me. We met everyone Friday night at a bar for dinner and drinks. It was really cool to see how close they all were and hear them talk about all the pranks they tried to pull and bring up old memories. Kelsey graduated with less than 30 kids so of course they really knew each other well. Mia was unable to sleep with all the loud music so I took her home early and let Kelsey party with his old friends. The next morning we attended "Border Town Days". The parade started at 11 and then there was a town BBQ on the courthouse grounds. Pictures of the whole event will be posted soon.





Here is a picture of Super Dad with his flying baby!

Reunions

Today we will travel to Farwell with a different purpose than normal. It is Kelsey's 10 year high school reunion. I have always heard about people really trying to improve themselves before one of these events in efforts to impress the people you grew up with. Kelsey on the other hand, could honestly care less. I washed all of his clothes yesterday so he could pick out something nice to wear to the weekend long event. I even bought him three new shirts as possibilities. So when I asked him what he was going to wear, he replied "I don't ever plan that stuff. Probably a polo shirt and shorts." Seriously. You know every girl there has shopped for and planned this weekends apparel down to matching toe polish and yet I'll be lucky if my husband shaves his face for it. So then I asked, "Well what should I wear?" And that is when I began to understand men. "Something sexy." Umm hmm. So as long as I look good-we look good.

Great Grandparent Visit

The second weekend of July, Kelsey and I took a trip to Austin to visit Ashley and Justin. On the way back, we visited my dad's parents in Lubbock and saw my Aunt Gale. This was when the monumental first crawl happened!
