Much more happening...

This was a christmas gift from Gabby and Poppy and Katherine used it at Dryver's b-day bash. We had so much fun!

Addilyn eating birthday cake. She won't be a rookie at eating cake by her 1st birthday! Don't you just love her pearls...little prissy!

We can't crawl yet, but we can drink from a sippy! She is what I like to call a scooter in the mobility department!

And just a little added bonus...Rocker Babe!

Keep reading to the next blog we have more!

Let's play catch up!!!

Random, but this is a view from our living room! Welcome to East Texas and a little bit of heaven! So peaceful and when the sun sets...you can't help but say thank you Lord!

A little outing to the Discovery Science Place. Keatyn loved it...Addilyn, the jury is still out!

I attacked her face with my fingernail...she is still adorable!

And a trip to the Brookshire's Wildlife Museum for Dryver's B-day! And yes, Keatyn is in a sling. She had a little mishap wrestling with her daddy! So sad for both of them.

wow...2009 already!!!!

Well, I know those of you who read my blog are probably tired of looking at our wedding photo. I had a few minutes in the madness to update. Here are a few cute pictures from Christmas. I wanted to do a slide show, but my computer will not cooperate today. And let's face it...I don't have the patience today either.

First of all this will just make you smile...Keatyn in her new denim jacket!

A little family photo after the Christmas Eve service.

Our sweet girls and their dresses made by Gabby.


Jammies at Mimi and Poppy's!
I'm not sure why keatyn is making addilyn look like a reindeer!!!

Addilyn's first Christmas...you know her daddy posed her for this one.

And finally our Christmas card...I want to apologoize to those of you who didn't receive one...please forgive me this year. We still haven't moved and my address book is packed. I would have emailed you to get your address, but let's be real and realize that if I wasn't blogging, I wasn't emailing either!!

Happy 2009 everyone!

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!!!!

What's Happenin'

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 a little update on our house...we are about halfway finished. We are waiting on flooring, interior doors and countertops. I know this seems like a LONG process, but when it is finished...it will be next to perfect. If you think about it...say a prayer for us to stay patient and to be good stewards of our time and money

Photo Shoot

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!

Halloween...

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!
