Here are a few pictures of Kylee's room finally : )

Ok so we are moved and getting settled I still need to take pictures of the house but I did get the kitchen and Kylee's room painted FINALLY ( it takes a lot longer to paint with a 1 year old around, I found that out real quick : )) I promise I will get pictures of the rest of the house this week, but in the meantime here is Kylee's room, we choose to do a theme of flowers and birds in memory of her Maw Maw who loves flowers and birdies so we have a branch above the crib with birds and a nest on it and still working on a vinyl saying for above it ( any suggestions on a saying, still trying to think of something unique) Kylee loves her room and loves to show it off for anyone that will come visit her : ) Grandpa and Uncle Nate got to see it this week and she was so excited to show them, she is such a silly girl! I took video but for some reason my video on my phone is sideways and blurry I will try again this week, so sorry in advance for the poor quality video ; )  Grandpa came yesterday and tilled a spot for a garden so Kylee and I will be planting tomorrow weather permitting and will try to take pictures. Daddy found a cool box turtle in our yard while he was mowing and saw him again today, maybe he is going to hang around as our pet ( we attached pictures) also while Grandpa and Uncle Nate were here we saw three deer right in our back yard, they were so pretty but we didn't get pictures, maybe next time! We went from Fort Wayne addition living to country, can you tell we are excited to be country folks again, we get excited about little things lol. Have a great weekend and will try to post the rest of the house this week

She was a really good helper

Sorry it's been forever again!

Sorry I haven't posted in forever life has just been very busy trying to live in two states and run two houses is a lot of work! Not to mention chasing after a 1 year old : ) We have found a house in Michigan and will be closing on April 11th but not moving in until the 17th, so when we get settled I will put up pictures :) we are praying that our house in Fort Wayne will sell quickly (we have a showing today, so let's hope they make an offer) I really don't want to have to mow two places and keep them clean lol. Well I have to hurry so we can get out of here before the showing but I just wanted to post Kylee's 1 year pics and birthday party, and of course her walking video from Monday! Yep she is starting to walk, not sure if I'm ready for this I still want to keep her a baby! She will have much more fun this summer if she can walk though,so I guess it's ok. Hopefully I will get house pictures up soon, I will be glad to to done packing and moved! 

just had to add this one in to make you laugh she is watching Lilly go potty, and it was taken on her birthday : ) saving this for her wedding video 

mommy ran out of time getting ready for the party so I had wet hair and no makeup but who cares it was my little girl's 1st birthday and she had fun!

Anyone want my cherry?

I know it has been awhile again but I have been dreading this post!

here are Kylee's 9 month pics to put something "happy" in this post

Well Mom's battle is over no more suffering she got to go be with the Lord on Dec. 22nd. We are lost without her and cry at least a few times each day, but she is not suffering and that is good, now we are. You don't realize how much stuff reminds you of your Mom until she is gone, everything I do and see makes me miss her and want to start crying! I miss talking to her everyday, calling her when I need cooking advise, mothering advise, or how to fix something, she really did know everything. Even driving makes me think of her because that is usually when I would call her to talk. Shopping will never be the same without her. My Mom loved everything about life so every bird I hear sing or flower I see makes me want to crawl in bed and cry. I guess all we can pray for is that the Lord returns soon so we can all be together again. Kylee loved her Maw Maw so much, in the morning after I fed her all last week she would look up at the ceiling and say bye bye maw maw and it just breaks my heart! Matt told Kylee the other day "I am so glad we have you to help us smile otherwise I don't think we would make it!" That is so true God works in mysterious ways we waited 4 years for a baby then she gets here and he takes Mom and it makes you think.. Why? But without her we would be lost she puts smiles on our face even when you are sad and she is her Grandma's mini me, a precious reminder everyday of Mom! Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for our family and please continue to do so while we are dealing with our great loss, THANK YOU!!

Here is where you can go to watch Mom's picture slideshow, I hope it works if not let me know and I will try again, I tried to put it on my post but it wouldn't let me. I'm still learning all this new technology  ;)

Sorry again I know it has been awhile since a post

Michigan sunset from a few weeks ago 

poor sick Kylee. so sad no smiles since Thursday

Kylee with a cold washcloth to cool her fever down

I know I haven't posted in awhile life has just been really crazy lately and not much good has happened and didn't feel like writing about the bad. I was hoping if I waited that good news would come before I had to post, but it is not looking that way. Mom is not doing good at all the dr told us her lungs are not working properly and that is why she is having swelling and breathing problems. Since last Thursday mom has been  having a really rough time, but she is a fighter I can say that she is not giving up yet!! She is back on oxygen because her levels were too low and she had really labored breathing, still trying to eat but not able to get down as much as she had been. We are not giving up about 100 times a day me and Kylee pray for a miracle to make her Grandma better, she loves her Grandma so much every time they see each other they both have smiles on their faces, and they look so much alike all the nurses keep commenting on how much she looks like her Grandma! We can not live without her she is such a special person there is no one is this world quite like Mom, she is a one of a kind!! Even when she is so sick she can barely stand it she still is thinking about everyone else but herself, she is the most loving person I know and we want more than anything to have her back to her healthy self and no more pain and suffering, she has had too much!!! So that's about all I have for tonight just keep praying is all we can do!! Kylee has been sick since Thanksgiving day her first time being sick ever, poor girl looks so pitiful, I think she is finally getting better she didn't throw up today at least, and she finally got to eat poor thing hasn't ate in 3 days!! That's all the news we have for now hopefully next time will be a happy post, we need one!!  Thanks for everyone's prayers, keep it up!!

A nice walk on the beach by our rental in Michigan

Last week we got a little time out of our busy schedule and made it down to the beach by our rental house in Michigan to check out the lake. Kylee and Lilly both love the water. Kylee loves to watch the waves, and she wishes she could walk right into the water! Here are a few pictures we took. We had to take one for Grandma since she is still sick and can't come see the beach : (   Please keep praying for mom to be able to eat everyday so she can gain weight and strength to get better! Have a great day!

Love u Grandma!!

sisterly love!
