Kate videos!!

To make up for my lack of blogging, here is a special little treat for ya. It's Kate on video! These are just a few snippets of all the video footage we have of the little munchkin, but I hope you enjoy them!

Here is sweet little Kate when she was soooo new. Oh how I loved that new little baby.



Here is Kate yackin' away on the phone at 2 months old. They grow up so fast...



Here is Kate getting oinched by her daddy (and loving it!):


Disclaimer: I promise Keith is not naked in this video. You just can't see his shorts.

Kate does funny things while she's eating. She growls at me. She's an animal:



Seriously, an animal:



This is by far my favorite video. She laughs every once in awhile, but never this much. She thought my fake sneezes were hysterical!

Kate at 5 Months

Oh Kater-mater. I know you've all missed her. Her mommy is a blog-slacker, it's true. But thankfully her grandmother (aka Honey or Liz Power) took some sweet pictures of her a few weeks ago. So here they are!

This one might be my favorite. She loves to chew on her toes.


Daddy was being sooo funny:
She loves to stick out her tongue:








Oooh punkin face:

A Sweet Giveaway

No, it's not a giveaway from me, but it's one from this AWESOME bag designer Meghan Cobble of KMac Creations. I follow her blog and she is constantly doing SWEET giveaways. She is super cool and creative, and just plain funny. You should follow her blog, too. And if you enter your name in the giveaway, and then tell people about it on your blog, your name is entered 6 times! You should do it (or not, so that my chances of winning are even higher. I'm kidding...but seriously...).

Go here to her blog to enter your name in. But it ends sooooon so hurry!!!

Funny Things

Since I'm in the mood for humor, I thought I'd share a couple videos that I have enjoyed lately from You Tube. I hope you think they are as funny as I do, and as funny as my hickie.

This one is legendary. This song aired on The Mornin' Show, a local program carried by NBC affiliate WTVA in Tupelo, Mississippi. It is worth watching every single minute of it.

This one my friend Blair showed me. It is a little girl with a great imagination. She's narrating a book about Kittens:

That's all:)

My first Hickie...

In my 25 years of life, I have never (to my knowledge) had a hickie. I don't even know how to spell hickie. It could be hickey. Or maybe it's hickee. I don't know, and I've never had to care, because I've never had one.

Enter Kate. Look a this sweet little creature in all her sweet sleepiness. How could anything so SWEET...

...with those sweet wittle wips....

do something like this?????
Yes, that is a hickie. The short story is that after Kate finishes eating, I put her up on my shoulder to burp her. It never fails, that she plants her sweet little mouth on my face or jaw, and sucks away because she is sad to be done eating (to which I usually just chuckle and remove the little suction cup from my face). I mean, I understand...I'm always sad when I'm done eating, too. But I've certainly never given anyone a hickie over it. Thanks a lot Kate.

Sarah & Jason are engaged!!

Hey everybody! I know you've been wondering if I've dropped off the face of the earth. Well in some ways I do feel that way. Kate and I have just been here at the house workin' hard. I'm not sure why I fell off the blogging wagon...though I have picked up a few new hobbies that I will post about later. For now, I must stick with the top news for today! That's right, this one is a headliner. My good old buddy Jason proposed to my dear sweet friend Sarah last night!!!! To which she of course said YES! We are all so excited for them!! They have been dating for about 3 and 1/2 years, and Keith especially has been obnoxiously hounding Jason to propose to Sarah. But God's timing is way better than ours (or Keith's). Jason just recently got a full time position at TVA, and moved into his first home. So of course, what could complete this picture better than Sarah??? I can't think of anything. Jason invited us all over last night to celebrate their engagement at his house.

Happy girl:

I'm the idiot who took this picture without carefully focusing. But it's sharp enough for you to see its radiant beauty:The "Bend and Snap":
This one reads "LOOK WHAT I GOT!"All of us girls with our bling...except me. I jammed my finger so I wasn't wearing mine, but we felt that Kate symbolized my marriage, so she is my bling:Here's the happy couple giggling like little school girls:
Happy:
When asked what Sarah's plans are when her lease expires in July, Raynold's offered her a place to stay. Tempting offer.
Sure thing, Chris, but Jason might kill you.
Here's what Sarah and Alex did when they first saw each other. Check out Sarah's hair:Sleepy Kate was there:
Alex and Forrest worked on Calculus:
Emily & David spooned on the couch (newlyweds):
Hunter and Elizabeth (Jason's brother and brother's fiance). Two engaged couples in one family:
Lounging in Jason's living room...no, this is not from 30 years ago, Jason's furniture is just "vintage". This room is in need of a woman's touch:
Ok, picture this with Sarah in white, and us in black, and all of us holding flowers, and that will be AUGUST 8TH!!!!
My girls:
Silliness:
Cake!
Ice Cream!
"Kate, did you hear that Jason and Sarah are engaged???"
"They want you to be their flower girl!!"

"Oooooh Jason, I love you sooooo much...do we have to wait till August 8th to get married?"

More Kate Pictures!

Over the month of January I have taken a few pictures of Kate here at the house. Some of them are little milestones that I wanted to document, and some of them are just her being cute. Enjoy!

This is the first time she was playing in this thing. She really loves it. Mr. Frog has really become a close friend. She talks to him and grabs him, and tries to stick him in her mouth.

So happy!
Not so happy:)







Oh drooly:

I love these of her feet because this day when I took these it was like she had discovered her feet for the first time. She kept lifting her legs and staring at her feet and holding her legs up by her thighs. I thought it was cute.


She sits up so good in her bumbo chair!




Here we are in the studio. Mom took these because I thought our matchy outfits were fun. Yes, I am one of those moms who wants to dress my baby like me. Don't judge me:


This one is from when I lifted up the blanket that was covering her in her car seat, and this is what I found! Haha. She didn't even care is the funny part.



My cheek looks chubby like hers...but mostly because I was blowing on her chubber.
