Three Years!

Yesterday was our three year anniversary. We weren't planning on doing much because it was a weekday so on Saturday night we had decided to go out to eat, but somewhere cheap. We were in the process of trying to find a kitten for kylie so the less money we spend on dinner the more we would have for the kitten. I told James that while in Idaho I had eaten at a place called Five Guys. It was great for the prices so he agreed if we could find one close we could go. I searched online and found there was one opening close, but not yet open. So I kept looking and found one by our mall. I thought great we know where the mall is and that isn't too far. We started driving and James had gotten the number to call if we couldn't find it. And sure enough we got there and couldn't find it. However the first time he called the number no one answered. So we got ready to leave and James decided to try again. This time there was an answer. Come to find out they are located....are you ready?

IN the food court at the Mall! Needless to say James and I including Kylie ate at a mall food court for our anniversary. It will be one we never forget. However we did decide to get some yummy ice cream while there too! It was fun and memorable!

We really didn't do much for Easter other than look online, well I did, for a kitten for Kylie. It was going to be somewhat an Easter gift/anniversary gift for all of us. Well no luck with anything. However yesterday I looked again and found three little kittens that needed homes. I called the lady and sure enough she had 1 female and 2 males. I wanted the female. She said she would hold onto it until we could pick her up. James got out of class a little early and we drive 45 minutes to get the kitten. Luckily when we got there she said we didn't have to pay $10 that she had put on her listing. Yay for us! So we decided to get some food at the Wendy's we met up with the lady at. James ran inside to find the lady's little girl in side as well. So nice James told her he would buy each of them, the lady, her daughter and son a frosty. So we got a kitten for three small frosties! She is a lot of fun and cute. Kylie loves her too! She follows her everywhere the kitten goes and it tires both out. Which is also nice. We haven't yet decided on a name, but some possible choices are Clora, Flo, Penny, Dory, and Abby. If you have any suggestions let me know! Now here is her picture:

Wedding Time!

Here are pictures that were taken during my brother Michael and sister-in-law Jinger's wedding and reception. The decorating was my mom, dad, and I, but consisted of my mom and I's ideas with imput we had gotten from Jinger. I hope you all enjoy!

SEALING/TEMPLE:

Just after the sealing, they had just come out of the Rexburg Temple.

Most everyone who was at the sealing.

Mike and our cousin Scott.

Mike and his best man, our brother, Adam.

Mike and Jinger. Beautiful flowers!

DECORATIONS (before reception, but not everything was complete):

Gift table

Area where we had pictures of Mike and Jinger as they grew up and also overflow for gift area.

Quilt from my parents(made by Mom, hand quilted by her parents) and painting from Jinger's mom.

Cake table and decorations.

Backdrop for the line. One of my favorite parts. I draped the curtains behind as well as put the greenery and flowers on the top. My parents and a few others helped by standing back and telling me where they thought things should go.

Cake made by our talented Aunt. So many compliments on it.

At the Reception:

Mommy and Kylie. Kylie in her very pretty dress.

Again. Kylie had been there all day while we decorated. She was a trooper, until the reception started when she started crying and screaming. Poor sweet girl. :(

Another of the cake.

Happy Couple!

Mike with sisters and new sister-in-laws. (Me, Celeste (our sister), Jinger, Jeorgette (Jinger's sister), and Michelle (Jinger's sister-in-law)). We however were missing one other.

Three of the grandchildren! Kylie was having so much fun playing ring around the rosie and dancing with the cool lights the DJ had.

NEXT DAY:

Kylie and I the day after. She really did great while we decorated, but she made up for that. She was extremely fussy during church. I did not get to sit through any lesson. We even tried hanging out in the nursery with other kids, but she just wouldn't have it.

Well I hope you all enjoyed the pictures as much as we enjoyed the sealing and reception. We have had fun here so far and are getting ready to go home! We miss Daddy and are ready to play with him. Kylie told me that she is ready with a poopy diaper just for him gloves and all!

White Coat Ceremony

While Kylie and I have been out playing in Idaho, James has become official (as of the 19th)! Yes we missed his White Coat Ceremony, but thankfully he sent me a couple pictures on my phone and a friend of his took some and put the last picture up on facebook. I wish we would have known before I bought my plane ticket, but James had his parents there for the proud moment!

This is the program:

James' official jacket:

Here he is with a couple of friends from his class, Mike and Mike (sorry so small) :

I'm so proud of James for all the hard work he has done to get this far! He is amazing and deserves the best! I know he will continue to work hard and get good grades. I just want him to know that I love him and appriciate all the tough times he has to go through just to provide a great life for our family. I know Kylie loves him too, she is just asleep right now or she would type on this too! Congrats hubby and good luck with your future patients!

One year older and wiser?

So since I was not around today to celebrate my Hubby's Birthday I figured I would write on here. He has to celebrate on his birthday all by himself. Poor guy, he did however go buy a steak to eat and from what I gather he relaxed instead of studied. He is amazing for all he does for Kylie and I. He works hard to get good grades, yet still manages to spend time with the two most important people! He is a great Father and and amazing Husband! He has made me a better person and I just wish I could have made him a BIG birthday cake! Hope you had a Happy Birthday without your two girls! We love you and can't wait to see you when we get home!

P.S. I hope your white coat ceremony is great because unfortunately we will miss that as well! Love you tons!

Happy St. Patricks Day to everyone as well!

9 months

So Kylie had her 9 month appointment today and she is doing great! Her stats are:

Weight: 20lbs 6oz 75th percentile

Height: 28 1/4 in 75th percentile

Head: ? but in the 90th percentile

She is a big girl, but at least we know she is healthy too! Here is a list of a couple new things she is doing:

• claps


• clicks her tongue


• eating finger foods like her new found love graham crackers


• dances when certain songs come on, i.e. five little monkeys and chicka chicka boom boom (both on youtube) -and-


• WALKING

She loves to walk all over the place. Last thursday night her daddy walked into our kitchen. She turned and saw him. (she was standing holding onto her tote that holds all her toys) She wanted to be with her dad, so she took a couple steps and stopped for a second. I thought she was going to fall, but she didn't Kylie decided to keep going. I called to James and he turned and watched as our 'little' girl walked about 10-12 steps across our living room. The little stinker has figured it out a lot better within the few days since and walks a lot now. She still crawls, but the walking is so much more fun!

Grandma and Grandpa Scheller came up to visit this weekend. Kylie got spoiled and she loved it. Along with all the attention she got from them! James and I also loved it because we snuck out for about an hour and a half for the first time together since she has been born! It was great! We went to our church and played volleyball with our ward! It was the best and Kylie did great at home with Grandma and Grandpa! She was practically asleep when we walked in the door.

And now for all of you who read this and are in Idaho we are coming next week! Kylie and I are at least, James still has classes, boo to classes. But we will be there about three weeks. We will miss daddy, but enjoy the other side of the family for a little while!

Surprise!

Here is a little surprise for everyone that is interested! I'll post more later about it all when Kylie isn't asleep on my lap occupying one arm, hand for typing. Oh and she will be nine months on the 28th.

New Activities

So Kylie is learning new things all the time. Recently she started clapping. She will usually clap when I or someone else claps. We were watching UNC basketball one night on TV and they scored. The crowd was clapping and all of a sudden Kylie started clapping too! It was so funny to watch and the best part was she cheered for the right team!

Next Kylie has been realizing that she can stand...drum roll please.....WITHOUT holding onto anything. She does it for about 10 seconds at a time! It is crazy. She is too young to be doing this I keep thinking. Then the scary part comes to mind, she will start walking by herself next. She will only be 9 months on the 28th of this month. It is so CRAZY that she is doing this.

I guess it is time to start baby proofing the house more! I will try to get pictures and videos of these new adventures on here soon!
