Team Bills

I'm not real sure why the picture is this small. However, I did want to say Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband. Today on the radio I was listening to an excerpt from James Dobson... He was talking about how marriage goes through so many different moods (if you will). That of unbelievable love for one another, a bit of apathy, friendship, dislike, joy and so on...but the one thing no matter what your "mood" is is that you ALWAYS remember the commitment that you made on this day. forever. I love you Stephen Corely Bills and I would not change the past 8 years one bit. Mustache and ALL!!!!

We had a "thanksgiving feast" at Keatyn's school. She enjoyed it and so did we. I have to say that I am so thankful that Stephen is able to be at these events. It means a lot. He is a hard worker and continues to keep his family his 1st priority!!! We spent thanksgiving lunch with Stephen's family. As you can see, there is never a dull moment with these three kiddos! Because we are not in our house yet...('09 baby) we put up this tree upstairs in our "loft". I was pretty impressed with Keatyn's decorating skills. She loved that it was pink! And this is a random picture of snow...yes folks, we got snow in Lindale one day last week. Keatyn usually runs around the house in just her undies and this day was no different. Soooo when we realized it was snowing, she decided she didn't care that she was half dressed and headed out side. I have to say that this weather made my day and gave me every reason to pull out the scarves!!! P.S. Just ...

I have a good friend who has started taking photos. She was so sweet to go with my family to take our picutres. These are the first family pictures we have had since Addilyn was born. Here are just a few of them. There were so many good ones and we are so excited to decorate our new home with some great family photos! Thanks Kelsey!!!! This explains the whole shoot...Keatyn is very often in her own little 3 year old world! We love that girl!

I know, I know, it is WAY past Halloween, but our lives have been crazy with house renovations, illness and just being busy. So, here they are...my sweet girls and some friends! Keatyn and her friend Nixon visiting the Lindale Fire Station. Keatyn, Addilyn, Steel and Case at the Methodist Church "Trunk or Treat"...Dryver was around there somewhere. Sweet baby Addilyn...you can tell she just LOVED Halloween. And our sweet little Ariel. She was so proud of this costume...or as she calls it her "costune". Halloween was fun, busy, but fun. I felt like I dressed Keatyn and Addilyn in their costumes everyday that week. Needless to say, I was glad when it was over. I was beat!

Sweet Addilyn Sloan turned 6 months old this month. She is so much fun. Here's what she's doing: She sticks her tongue out and blows. She lays on her tummy and rolls around. She LOVES for someone to talk to her, especially her sister. She is sitting up with support. She eats and sleeps really well. Her well visit stats...16.2 lbs and 28 1/2 inches long. She has the sweetest smile and melts our hearts everytime we look at her. What a blessing our girls are!!! Keatyn and Addilyn in there October attire! A very large praise...Stephen was healthy and was able to do a wedding this past weekend. He's back to his normal self...whatever normal is these days!! And sweet colorful Keatyn...our friends, the Cofield's are in the process of adopting and have made these great shirts for support. We bought me and Keatyn one and Jana had asked that I send her some pictures of us wearing them. This was just one of the photos from the photo shoot...too funny that Keatyn!!! Check ...

This was Stephen when we returned home from the wisdom teeth surgery on Friday. We laughed because we have really only seen a sight like this in the movies. He was in a lot of pain! This was Stephen after the "emergency" surgery on Sunday evening. Bless his heart. But, this was better than the alternative. And here we are with a little bit of comic relief from Stephen's boss. Thanks Josh for being so thoughtful!!! Thanks to so many of you for keeping us in your prayers. Today is Friday and it has been exactly one week since all of this started. There has been pain, disappointment, good news and bad, but all in all, we are so grateful at the outcome and we know that we were very watched over and taken care of during this time.
