Caribbean Cove

What a blast today was! We went to Caribbean Cove which in an indoor waterpark at a hotel! This is the first time we've went and I'm sure its not the last! We all had so much fun. We were there from 11:30a-3:30p left had dinner, went back at 5:30ish and didn't leave until after 7p. Kaylee's favorite part was the hottub, she loved how warm it was! hahaha We took her down a big Ol tube slide and she LOVED it as well! We couldn't believe she liked it so much, we thought for sure she'd be scared and probably even cry......heck no she laughed, screamed and smiled! We did the lazy river, slides, hot tub, swimming pool and the zero enterance play area! It has a slide, big Ol bucket that dumps water every few minutes and tons of other splash stuff! Needless to say we are all poo'd and ready for sleep! What another cool day during christmas break 2010!

Christmas 2010

WOW what a wonderful Christmas day we had!

The morning started off perfect and Kaylee was beyond cute and had a blast! She woke about 7:30a and the day started!
First she checked out to make sure Santa ate her cookies and had his milk, then she had to check out what the big present for her was..she said "wheels" as she looked under the wrapping paper and then ripped into it...A new 4 wheeler and this one goes 5mph..hehehe Then one by one she got them all opened and woohoo she was pretty excited about all of them! I think her favorites though were: the doctors kit and this strange looking play snake! After presents she wanted to get dressed a ride her quad a little so out she went for a whole 10min! hahaha

Next was Christmas morning breakfast! This tradition started in 2007, after our first Christmas with a child and the chaos of the day we thought hey we'll do breakfast and the family can come over for gifts...best idea EVER! HEHEHE
Jason and I cooked B&G,bacon,sausage,scrambled eggs,cinnamon rolls and orange juice! This was my first time making sausage gravy and then making for 10 people and I'll be darn it was FANTASTIC During cooking Kaylee got to open presents from Ceca and all the grandparents! After all that fun Kaylee took a nap for a couple hours, she was a tired gal!

Then came Nana & Pawpaw's dinner...yummm Its great getting together with everyone and just chatting and laughing!
And last but not least we headed over to Grandpa Spurrier's. This year was really neat because Kegan was able to come for the first time! So grandpa and great grandpa got the presence of the granddaughter duo on Christmas! How fun that was and it was really awesome to spend it with everyone! Kaylee and Kegan totally LOVE each other and had a blast running through the house.

Christmas Eve cookies!

Tonight we made our cookies...yummy! And rice crispy treats!
I planned on making different shape cookies but the dough didn't want to cooperate with me so we axed that idea and just decorated round cookies! hehehe However I did manage to make my own icing this year, it was good and its actually for cookies so it dried and didn't come off to the touch...wooohooo!

Last trip to Santa!

Here's our last trip to Santa's! Kaylee was a little more hesitate this time so I had to go with her at first but it only took a few seconds for that smile to pop up and her be fine!






During our 45min wait outside in the cold, Jason and her stayed warm by having a snowball fight and running around the court house...she had a blast!
Still had to believe its been 4yrs since our first visit with Santa....Kaylee was 2months old and tiny.....funny thing this year it was the same Santa as 2006.

T'was the Night Before Christmas

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house
The only creatures stirring was mommy and daddy, and the cat
The stockings were hung on the bookcase with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
Kaylee is nestled all snug in her bed,
...While visions of sugar-plums dances in her head


And before she was all snuggled in bed..a treat for Santa handled with care!

Winter Wonderland Fun

Saturday and Sunday we went sledding! Saturday start off with Kaylee just wanting to go do with one of us which was a blast! That first big ol smile on her face was awesome, she loved it! We slowly worked her up to go down a small hill by herself, she was a little scared but by the end was smiling. She still wanted us to go with her though! hehehe So after about an hour we moved hills and found this ramp snow covered. Once Kaylee saw it she said I can do that all by myself and she did OVER and OVER! It just warmed my heart to see her so proud of herself and confident for doing all by herself! She would yell woohoo going down, laugh and smile so huge!

Sunday we went back again and Jolie came with us! Kaylee went right to her spot and off she went. Sledding is pretty darn fun and it just feels so good to laugh so hard. We all had so much fun and both days sled for about 2hrs! I'm sure we'll be going a lot more!

Our Furbabies

We can't forget our love for our pets! So I thought I'd show a picture of each one!

Max our first pup we got right before christmas in 2001! We love our little old man. He has his grumpy times ya know since he is the senior but he's a great dog with lots of pup in him 9yrs later! He has a hug obsession with balls and if he can't find a ball he'll grap about anything for us to throw!



Emit the second furbaby came to us in 2003! We are pretty sure he will NEVER act like a senior pup...he will be energetic puppy forever! hahaha He has always been rotten and beyond lovey, he thrives for attention and will do about anything to get it! He thinks he is a 10lb lap dog but really he's 90lb! hahaha



Emma was last years christmas gift for Kaylee. We never thought we'd have a cat, in fact we really weren't people.....then Kaylee fell in love with kittens and came Emma! I LOVE this cat and we love snuggleing! She is quite the funny lil thing, she plays will everything, her and Emit are buddies and love playing together! She even spreads out like the dogs, I think sometimes she thinks she's a canine! hahaha


These animals are such a big part of our family and we love them so dearly!

Our little lamb Christmas Program 2010

Lastnight was Kaylee's preschool christmas program and boy was it cute and precious! We have been looking forward to this all year! We didn't think she would make it due to being sick but she did! She wasn't a hundred percent but she did good for not feeling the best!



She was a little lamb this year and wow was it cute! All the kids looked beyond cute and ALLL did so well. Kaylee said she was too shy to sing in front of everyone but would sing at home for us! hahaha Its super cute to hear her sing her music, she's been practicing for a while now! Sadly we could see her real well so I didn't get alot of pictures but its ok I just love these little programs! I look foward to many more!

Sick little princess

Wednesday just before bedtime it hit her..the flu....our poor baby girl! She was getting ready to potty and just said "mommy I gotta pukey" and here it came! Its just awful to see her get sick and feel so bad! So she made it through the night pukey free and got a goods night sleep! We were so relieved we thought whew just an upset tummy! She had her milk did good with it and hour passed and I gave her her medicine for her cough and some lemonade....well that did it! Shortly after she started puking again! :( I was so sad for one she was sick and two thursday was preschool and practice for her cute lil program that was that TONIGHT!
So after a couple hours she said she felt a little better and even ate a bit. She was ok with going to school as long as mommy went with her so off we went! However we only made it at school about an hour before she just wasn't feeling good and was so emotional. We left went to Marsh for some sprite and push pops(her request)! Poor gal puked in Marsh and all over herself! I felt so bad for her, she even told me sorry for puking...I promised her it was not her fault and mommy was sorry she felt so icky! So off to home we went! Daddy came home early to be with her and help while I took care of Devyn and Caleb! She napped 4hrs and a little better and even was able to keep down crackers and sprite! She said she was ok so we went ahead and went to her christmas program at school. After her program however when we got home the poor baby got sick again, thankfully though after a bathe and a good nights sleep she was better. So I guess it was the 24hr flu....we are just so glad it didn't last long and she is better now! She is such a trooper when she is sick and honestly takes it so much better than us adults would! :)

She's trying so hard to feel better, look at that cute smile

Look at this precious girl!

O Christmas Tree

The tree is up and looking pretty! Our first christmas in our new house and it looks so christmasy...I LOVE it ! We had a fun time and Kaylee did a wonderful job decorating!



A little holiday dance! haha



A Star is Born

Dear Santa,

Dear Santa look at this beautiful little girl...........this is all I ever wanted for Christmas! Love April



Kaylee is really into Santa this year, its so cute! She saw Santa's house a few weeks ago uptown and just couldn't wait to see him! Then at the mall a week or so later she saw Santa and O goodness the smile and sparkle in her was amazing! She just yelled Hi Santa, Hi over and over! So a today she got to see on Santa's lap finally! She ran up to him, gave him a HUGE hug, blobbed down on lap with a HUGE smile and said "I'd like a doctor kit" then smile for a perfect picture!

a little photo OPT

Kaylee looked so christmasy before preschool so I had to take pics! And she hammed it up for me!

Loving Snow

On the first day of December my princess wakes up and says "MOMMY LOOK SNOW" hehehe






She was so excited and couldn't wait to get out and play in it! It was so cold but she still played and had a blast! She came in warmed up and headed back out a few times! We still need to find her some waterproof gloves so her little hands stay warm and dry and are in need of snow boots. We were not expecting snow this early and weren't prepared!
I love taking winter pics, especially when snow is falling. My awesome camera capture the snow flakes and it looks so neat!
