Our First Visit to the ER

Before the fix....

After the fix...

Church was cut a little short today after Kylee decided to pitch a fit while Daddy was holding her hand and dislocate her elbow. My poor baby was screaming she was in so much pain and she refused to move her left arm. I knew we were looking at some type of injury if my baby girl was acting like that! After 3 stops to Walk in Clinics that were closed, and 1 stop to one that was open but refused to treat her because of her age we ended up in the ER. Thank goodness the wait to get in was not long at all and the doctor was able to fix it with the snap of a finger! After a couple minutes of crying Kylee realized she could actually move her arm without any pain and was back to normal. We are so relieved it was nothing more than this but had quite the emotional morning! Kylee was a trooper and now doesn't even realize anything ever happened :)

Halloween Fun

Halloween is coming up and I can't wait to put Kylee in her ladybug costume..but until then I'm having fun dressing her up in anything else I can find!

Iowa Class of 2000 Reunion

This past weekend Kyle and I had our plate full of celebration and memories...memories for him of course!! It started with the Iowa homecoming parade Friday afternoon, the football game Friday night, family day in the park Saturday and the Dance/Social Saturday night. It was great getting to know Kyle's old high school friends and seeing him let loose and have fun again!

Soccer Fun

I'm a little late posting, but a couple weekends ago we got to watch Chloe in one of her soccer games. It was so fun to get back into the sports feel! She did great and Kylee enjoyed herself too.

An Unexpected Visitor

Thursday afternoon we got a call from Nick saying he was heading into town and wanted to stop to visit. Well, how do you say no to that?! So we enjoyed a great evening of conversation and he ate a nice home cooked rice and gravy with us. We were so excited to see you Nick and thouroughly enjoyed your company. Come back any time!!! Kirk and Angie, I have to say you have raised an incredible man-- and handsome too!

Two of Her Favorite Things...

Her Daddy and her books! Kylee grabbed a book and hopped on the couch with Daddy the other night. It's just the sweetest sight in the world! The picture came out blurry but it still caputers the moment...

PJ Day

Today was pajama day at Kylee's daycare. It was so cute seeing all those little kids in their cute PJ's!! I snapped a picture of Kylee before leaving the house looking so precious.

A Step Towards Success

We were playing outside when I noticed Kylee squatting but I couldn't tell if it was because she was just playing or using the bathroom. Then she stood up and pointed to her diaper which is when I jumped up, grabbed her and ran to the toilet with her. Three books later there was a distinct smell in the air :) and she had successfully used the potty! Wow, I was so amazed!!!! What an incredible little girl!!! I am so proud of you my Kylee!!!

Happy 21 Kristen!

Saturday night we were invited to Prejean's to celebrate Kristen's big #21. It was great seeing everyone...even Angie's side of the family and meeting Parker, Kristen's boyfriend. Hope you had a great night of partying Kristen!
