Our house is looking great!

Here is the front of the house- the stucco is done and the trim around the windows and etching above the door- we love how it has turned out

Visiting Cousin Brooke for her 1st birthday

Kelsey and I traveled to Alabama with Grandpa and Grandma Napier for Brooke's 1st birthday (Daddy could not go with us- he was out of town for work). This is when the girls first saw each other. They were so excited to see each other.
They loved to give each other big hugs! It was so cute!
They did really well playing together.
We went to the Pumpkin Patch while we were there. This is on the tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch.
The girls in the pumpkin patch- the pumpkin were fun to play with.
Kelsey had a hard time picking out the one pumpkin she could take home

Here is the pumpkin she finally decided on
We went on the Cattle Train- it was very bumpy!
Playing in their corn boxes. Kelsey loved these.

Halloween Fun at Sea World

Start of the day at Sea World- she was so happy to be there! We were too so we could celebrate our 10 anniversary from being married there.
Kelsey picked out some oysters for her and mommy so we could get pearls and make necklaces

They had so many people dressed up as sea creatures for the kids to meet and get pictures with. We thought Kelsey might be scared of them, but she was not- she loved them all.

Kelsey is so much like her Daddy with rides- she loves them! This is the first time she is on this ride

This is where our reception was- they have since turned it into a restaurant so we had to try it out

We have a partial roof!

We went by the house today after a meeting to pick out our paint colors. Of course it had to rain. Amy and Kelsey stayed in the car, but Andrew braved the heavy rain to get a few photos. Here is the house from the front:

Family Photos

Since we had both sets of grandparents here for Kelsey's birthday we thought we would get some family photos done. We went to Sears in the mall and the lady there did a great job. Kelsey was amazing at following the directions and giving good smiles. We were all very happy with how they turned out. There are many here to see! If anybody wants a copy of one, send me an email with which picture and what size you want- we have a CD of them all and print you off a copy or email it to you.

The whole group- how she ever got us all looking and smiling we will never know!

Kelsey- she looks so grown up here- it could be her school photo!
Such a sweet face- we also have this in a black and white and it looks great too

She loves her Minnie and we thought it would be cute to get since that was the theme for her 2nd birthday

We were using Elmo to help her smile and he made it into a photo
My favorite shot- she is such a cutie
