Rain drops keep falling on my head...

playing outside!
grocery shopping with big bird!


Hello Everyone! We have been crazy busy here! Jerod, Naomi.. and the two kids were here with us since Wednesday! (so we had a house full)... they headed home yesterday morning. With all the rain Rushford was flooded... along with most of the southeastern part of Minnesota! (and some of Wisconsin) Thankfully our families are safe!!! Crazy how we didn't get any rain all summer... and now it seems to keep falling!!! Breaks my heart that families are without homes :( and that some families have lost loved ones in the midst of all this ciaos!

We had a good time when they were here- the rain seemed to keep us in most of the time . We went to little America on Friday and went on a little train ride :) I found out they have zebras in Marshall... Kinda crazy that I've lived here almost 2 years and they have zebras and other animals that I never knew about!!!! It was absolutly beautuful outside on Friday!!! One night Naomi and I went "downtown" for a few beers.. it was nice to sit and chit chat- although we were getting pretty annoyed with some people there! oh well.. that will happen.

Kierstin had her 9 month check up last Wednesday (a little behind.. she's already 10 months) It was Jamie's first time bringing her to the doctor by himself! Luckily she didn't need any shots :) She weight 21llbs! (75%) and a little her height was 30.2" (over the 95%).. so she's gonna be a tall girl like her momma! Crazy to think that in two months she'll be having her first birthday party... I'm sure I'll cry like a little baby!... Speaking of her birthday- she already got a early birthday present from grandma Vicky and grandpa Craig (my parents)- her very own Kitchen set :) She loves playing with it and pushing all the neat buttons!

Hope everyone is having a great week! And maybe.. just maybe the sun will come out behind those gray skies!

Another tooth for chooch! That will make it 7 teeth!!! Can you believe it????? She didn't have any at 6 months.. and now bam- she's got a mouth full!! We bought her a tooth brush the other day and she loves it!!! I was thinking that we would have to hold her down to scrub those little toothers of hers.. but she just opens her mouth wide and brushes like a champion.

Sometimes I wonder if I was actually like at least 2 months over due? (that would explain all the weight i gained) Kierstin acts way older than she is. The Drama I tell you. Everyone always asks how old she is.. and then when I tell them they are like "whoa I thought she was like 16 months"! I suppose that would be a little easier... at 16 months they probably listen a little better :D

We took Kierstin swimming today- She's such a little water baby!!

Best friends

Wanted to Share a few pictures of Kierstin and her friend Mollie- They are just so cute together!

The pictures are from this past weekend Kierstin loved the bubbles :o) Kierstin also got to spend time with her cousins over the weekend... Yah! (the top picture is from the other day, she seems to enjoy running around the table)

Well... no time to say much more busy busy!!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

SO HOT OUT

Yesterday took Kierstin to blockbuster to return a movie... she freaked out because I was holding her.. and as soon as I put her down she took off running... We ran around the store for about 5 minutes until she realized she could start pulling things of the shelves! As soon as I picked her up she started screaming and kicking to get back down and explore... So I let her down one more time and followed her around the store. One lady said "I see whos in charge here"... I'm sure Kierstin was thinking "Duh lady... it's me". We headed to Shopko.. and babisrus.. the UPS store... and the clinic.. in which all places she acted the same! Wanted to run free.. It was a eventful trip thats for sure!


Kierstin has mastered saying kitty now.... and getting good at saying ball too... She's growing up so fast! Less than 3 months until her first birthday :(

It's so hot out today! Probably just stay in and take advantage of the AC!

Random Weekend....

Hi! Well the weekend if coming to a end :( Already! Friday night I went to the movie No reservations with my friend Ruth! Good movie! Probably a good thing I saw it too... Jamie probably wouldn't of wanted to see such a chick flick. He's so manly-- although he did just come in and tell me he was watching Parent Trap... mmmhmmm.

Saturday Kierstin and I went to Target with Ruth and Ayla... and then back to their place to hang out (cause trouble). It was great to see them both. Ayla is so beautiful and tiny (especially compared to chooch). I'm sure Kierstin is looking forward to teaching Ayla a few things when she gets a little bigger.... like how to get into everything... and how to be a turd while getting your diaper changed (SHE'S A PRO AT THAT). After that we went home and chilled out. Kierstin went to bed kinda early so we watched the movie The Guardian... good movie... I had a little to much wine and fell asleep before the end. finished it today though (the movie not the wine). Jamie woke up with Kierstin this morning so I slept until almost 10! Haven't done that in a really really LONG time! It was nice :D We did a little shopping today at the Johnson Creek Outlet mall! Kierstin did pretty good until the end where she decided the stroller just wasn't good enough and had to walk herself! =)

Hope everyone has a great week!
Oh and Happy Birthday Stacey (if you read this).... My little sister turned 14 today... sniff sniff not so little any more I guess:(
