Things Kelsey is Thankful For

I asked Kelsey what she was thankful for and this is what she said.
In case you missed it she said she was thankful for "Mommy and Daddy and Kelsey and Harrison. And for food and counters and everything I like". The cute mind of a three year old.

Oh No!!!!

Harrison started opening the pantry door today! This terrifies me because we close doors to keep him out of a lot of places. If anyone has any advice please let me know.........

Answered Prayer!!

Last week, I put Kelsey to bed and we said our prayers as usual. Except, for two nights we asks for help with potty training. I kid you not, the day after the second prayer she didn't have any accidents and even told me when she needed to go!! This has gone on now for about three or four days. This may seem like a silly prayer, but if you have ever tried to potty train a hard to potty train child, you know that it wasn't silly (more desperation). Anyway, so far so good!!!

Weekend with the Heisel's

This weekend Jason and Melissa Heisel came to visit us. They got here around 11:30pm on Friday. We talked and caught up for a while then headed for bed. The next morning Shawn had to get up and open his new office!! Yes folks, the day has finally come that he is in his own cemetery park. We thought that it would never get here. When he got home around noon we all went to eat in downtown Little Rock on the river. When the kids (aka Harrison) had had enough of that we headed home where the boys watched football, the kids napped, and the girls shopped. We all had fun catching up and hanging out. Jason and Melissa left Sunday after a big Sunday lunch. Kelsey hasn't stopped asking for them and praying that they get home safe! Kelsey has always loved Jason and has always taken to him, but now she is just as in love with Melissa. And she is (well, we all are) sooo ready for Melissa to have the baby so she can have another cousin. We were so blessed to have them come see us....the invitation is open to everyone!

Kelsey Can Write!!!

Last week Kelsey and I started working on writing her letters. Apparently I started a little late because she picked it up sooooo fast. She can write her name and almost all the other letters in the alphabet. I am so proud of my little writer. Now if we can only get potty training down!

Halloween 2008!

This was Kelsey's first Halloween to really enjoy it. She kind of got it last year, but not really, especially compared to this year. We started the day with a picnic with Ronni and her friends (some of with are acquaintances of mine). All the kids were in their costumes so we could get some cute pictures. The trees are all turning here. It's soooo pretty. The road I drive down everyday to get to my house is just picturesque with all the different colors of leaves. Then, Shawn got off work a little early, so we all headed together to another Halloween carnival. This one was at a church and was huge. Kelsey had fun playing the games and getting candy. We (of course) went with our neighbors/friends Chad and Ronni and their two kids Jenna and the famous Owen. That was fun and we will definitely hit that next year. Then, we all went trick or treating. Harrison and Jenna were in the wagon most of the time, while Kelsey and Owen took turns ringing doorbells. It started to sprinkle on us, so we decided it was time to pack it in. Both kids had a bucket full of candy to last them 6 months, although I keep finding candy wrappers in the weirdest places so I'm not sure how long it will last! It was a really good Halloween.

Ronni was my photographer for all of these events, so there will be pictures on the shutterfly site as soon as she uploads them. So check back soon! But if you are just in need of a really cute
