We're Back

I have been the worst blogger lately.  There has been a lot going on and we have been pretty busy, but things have settled down so I will be playing catch-up.  We moved the day after Thanksgiving and moving proved to be very hectic.  We love it here and are glad to be settled in.  The people are so nice, there is a lot to do, and everything you could imagine is close.  Richard's commute is a lot shorter (which is very nice for both of us) and we can visit him at work now so we get to see him more.  We have had a lot of fun these last few months so I apologize for the number of posts, but these are things that I want to remember.  They are posted by the date of the event and they start on Nov. 9, 2008.  I hope to be posting a little each day until everything is caught up.  So, for those who are interested and/or have the time---Enjoy!

A Night On The Town!

Every time we would visit Richard at work we would see the Trax trains go by.  Kaley would get so excited and ask if she could ride it.  So we decided to have a night on the town and it was a blast!!!

All bundled up in the lobby of Richard's building ready to ride the train!

Kaley loved riding the "train!"  

We took the short train ride from Richard's work to The Gateway.  It was very pretty with all the lights.  In the courtyard area they have water fountains and they were programmed to spray with the different music they had playing (like a mini Belagio) and it was fun to watch! 

I thought Richard did a good job with this picture!  I really like it!  :-)

Right by the fountains there was a fire-pit which I thought was pretty cool.  It kept you fairly warm when you stood next to it which was nice because it was F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G outside!!!

We had dinner, watched some people rock climbing in one of the stores, and just enjoyed being together.  It was definitely a fun night!

Mini Photoshoot

I started taking these pictures because Tyler was finally able to get his foot into his mouth.  That may not seem like much, but he had been trying and trying for a long time.  (It may have been harder for him due to the fact that he is a butterball.) :-)  He thought it was pretty neat though and it made for some cute pictures!  

He is so precious!!!

I have been experimenting with black and white so these next two are similar but I love them both.

The Kids

Kaley absolutely loves Tyler!  She is always helping him and making sure he's ok.  She loves to give him hugs and he loves it!  Lately he has started hugging her back and it is the sweetest thing to watch!  

Tyler loves his big sister too!!!  He could watch her all day!  They are so cute together!

(They are definitely brother and sister!)  :-)

Tyler also loves to hair!  ;-)

Ringing in the New Year!

Happy New Year!!!  We had fun playing games with lots of food and all with friends and family! 

Kim and Bryan were there!  Always love when they visit!

Tyler didn't stay up to ring in the new year (of course), but Kaley made it and so she was able to celebrate with us.  This is Kaley modeling all the streamers from the poppers that we did.

My mom and her husband Dick came too.  I have gone to my mom's house every year, but this year they came to ours.  It was great to have them.
