A New Nephew!!!!!

My sister Christy had a little boy last night at 8:40pm. His name is Levi Wayne Davidson. He was 7lbs, 13 oz, 21 inches long. I don't have any pictures yet (which is making me go crazy), but as soon as I do, I will post them so you all can see what a cutie he is. Josh & I now have 4 nieces and 2 nephews! It's such a wonderful thing to be an aunt (& for Josh to be an uncle!). Kylee and I are flying up there on May 30th, so I will have lots of time to shop between now and then!!

Reno Trip

Joshua was doing Air Force stuff for a week and a half in April, so my Mom and Dad flew Kylee & me out to Reno for two weeks. We had a great visit with family & friends.

My cousin Anna Maria & Kylee (my aunt, uncle, and cousin were down to visit from Oregon)

My Uncle Bill's dog named Sox and Kylee. They got along great.

Grandpa Wayne & Kylee taking a nap.

We saw my Grandpa & Grandma Wigholm for a couple of days in California. They have stairs inside and outside, so Kylee wanted to spend most of the time going up and down them.

We were also able to see Joshua's grandparents and some of his aunts and uncles. Kylee remembered the farm, because she and Josh had just been there a month before. She was excited to see his Grandpa Gill & Grandma Esther, the cows, his aunt & uncle, Delilah (their dog), and Pumpkin (their cat).




My Grandmother lives in Reno so we were able to spend some time with her, too.

California, Easter, & Etc.

The first pictures below are some that Joshua took when he and Kylee went out to Sacramento, CA to see his grandparents. His dad also went out at the same time. They had a lot of fun.

Kylee and Papa playing outside.

Aunt Janice made a little play house for Kylee out of a box, which she loved.


Kylee, Pumpkin, & Aunt Janice. Pumpkin liked Kylee more this trip than at Christmas. Last time, Pumpkin kept hiding under a bed to get away from Kylee.


A bunch of us from church went to a Chris Tomlin Concert. Matt Redman was there, too.


Mandy Guidry & Me at the concert.



It was raining outside and Kylee was having fun playing in it. If you look close, you can see how wet she was getting!!


Kylee in her Easter dress after Church on Sunday morning. She was tired and the sun was in her eyes, so we didn't get a very good picture. Oh well.

Joshua's drill weekend was this weekend and then he has to go up to Wisconsin for a week, so my parents flew Kylee & me out to Reno while he is gone. We got here on Wednesday and are having a good time. Kylee loves having her Grandpa & Grandma at her beckon call!!

My Mommy Vacation!

I'm on mommy vacation. Those don't happen often, but they are very relaxing. Joshua and Kylee flew out to Sacramento, CA to visit his Grandpa Gil & Grandma Esther. Josh hasn't been able to see them very much in the past couple of years, so they are having a great trip. They left on Monday and I pick them up from the airport tomorrow. I have been working (unfortunately), getting stuff done around the house, shopping (I only bought a picture so far!), reading, etc. It's been great, but it will be really nice to see them tomorrow. One thing that I haven't done is to pick up toys!!!!! I really don't mind that though. As much fun as this week has been, I'd rather have toys all over the floor and it take 8 hours to do my 5 hours of work each day, then to not have my little girl in my life. (I'm not saying that I wouldn't like a week like this again sometime in the future.) :-)

Joshua says that he has taken some pictures, so I will try to post some this weekend or next week sometime.

Fun, Fun

While cleaning out some of my stuff the other day, I found a baby doll that I had when I was younger. Kylee loved it. She wanted to change her diaper, give her a bath, put pajamas on her, and rock her to sleep. She kept saying shhhhh to her.


Last week, we met up at the park with a Nikki (I used to work with her) and her little girl Keegan. Keegan and Kylee are only about a month apart. They had fun playing with each other.


We went to the outlet mall while we were in Biloxi this last weekend for Joshua's drill weekend. Kylee was very excited to ride this horsey!!


Kylee is always wanting her daddy's glasses, so I found some for her at the store yesterday. As you can tell, she loved them.


After getting out of the shower, Kylee loves to be wrapped up in her towel. She would stay that way if I let her. I don't trust her without a diaper on to let her lay like that too long! She just lays there with her little feet crossed.

A New Swing!

And yet again, it's been another month since I blogged last. Here are some pictures that I took this past month.

Kylee and Gracie playing the piano. She is a friend from church who is only 4 months older than her. They have a lot of fun together. I was watching Gracie and when it came time for their nap, I ended up putting them down together on our bed. They laid there and bounced on the bed while laying down and were giggling together. It cracked me up and gave me a little glimpse of future sleepovers! :-) They finally went to sleep. Yea!

Kylee found the wet wipes and was pretending like they were tissues.

Wow, Kylee can fit between my desk and the wall.

That look of delight is the "Yes, I got Mommy all wet".

Bubbles are more fun when they are all over your face.

Kylee was so excited after Joshua put up her swing on our front porch. She didn't want to get out of it. Yesterday was such a nice day that she was in shorts and a tee shirt (yes, it is February, but we do live in Louisiana!).

This morning, she wanted to swing again, so I took her outside and she fell asleep while swinging. It was very cute.

Pictures from before Christmas

Here are a few pictures from Kylee's and my visit to Missouri after Thanksgiving that I forgot to post awhile ago.

It snow quite a bit the day after we got there, so that was exciting because we don't get any where we live. It was Kylee's first time to actually get to play in it some. She loved it and so did I.

Jason, Beth, Levi, & Nate

Kylee, Levi, & Nate eating snow. They loved it.

My friend Kendy & I. She dropped by to see me while I was there.

Christmas Time

Wow, it's been forever since I've blogged. Our December was busy with Joshua's drill weekend, Christmas stuff at Church, and traveling home to Reno & Sacramento (& also to Castro Valley). We flew out to the west coast (Kylee's 7th plane trip!!!) and saw both of our families and quite a few friends. Here are some pictures below of our trip.

The night before we left, we had Christmas with just the 3 of us. Kylee realized how much fun it was to tear wrapping paper!

Kylee was being silly. It must have been the bow on her head! :-)

We gave her blocks. She soon realized that the quickest way to get them out was to turn the box upside down.

On the 23rd, we had Christmas with my dad's side of the family. Here is a picture of my Grandmother, my dad, me, and Kylee (4 generations).

Here is everyone that was there. The other cousins and my sister couldn't be in Reno for Christmas this year, so that was a bummer. We had a good time together.

Joshua, me, Dad, Mom, & Kylee on Christmas Eve.

We went to Sacramento with my parents and spent Christmas Day with Joshua's family (his parents and sister were there also). Here is a picture of Kylee taking a ride on Grandpa Gill's chariot!!

Joshua's mom with Kylee (she has one of Joshua's uncle's hats on)

Here is another 4 generation picture that we took that was kinda fun to do. Grandpa Gill, Dan, Joshua, & Kylee.

After we left Sacramento, we headed down to the bay area to Castro Valley and spent the evening and night with my mom's parents. We had dinner and then opened Christmas gifts. Kylee was quite ok with staying up and opening more gifts with Grandpa & Grandma Wigholm.

Kylee reading one of her books (one of her favorite things to do).
