A Very Proud Mommy =0)

I am so proud to blog about my sweet little Kearstyn! Today at work we were giving out letters to all the parents who's children were going to move up in Jan. I was so excited to get one that let me know that Kearstyn was moving up! She has been doing so well in her class, that they have decided that she is ready to move up to an older room! I can say that she is a VERY smart little girl! Im so amazed at what all she has learned and what she can do at her age. Miss Elizabeth and Miss AJ have been wonderful teachers and im so thankful that she started in their class. Im very excited for her and the opportunity to move up and to challenge herself! Miss Joni is going to be a GREAT teacher for her! I just had to brag a little about it because im very excited about how well she is doing and how much she is learning!

FINALLY, I CAN UPDATE!

So I have been having blogging withdrawls! My computer is currently broken, so that is why I havent posted in over a month!

Back in Nov I had my gallbladder taken out, which was not fun but luckily my bestie Diana stayed with me that week and took care of me! I also had alot of visitors, thanks to everyone for their prayers and thoughts and stopping by to see me, it meant alot!

Now onto the Holiday Season! This is my FAVORITE time of the year! I get to spend it with my amazing daughter, family and most of all my incredible boyfriend, Jeremy. Im so blessed to have him in my life! Everyone told me that when I stopped looking that the RIGHT one would come along and wow were they right!

I can't express how incredibly lucky I am to have him in mine and kearstyn's life. I can't wait to see what the future has in store!

Here are some recent pictures of what all has been going on with me and kiki!
Enjoy,

Allison's Baby Shower..Brantley Rae is on her way!

Today we threw Allison and BR a baby shower. After lots of planning and getting things together, the day finally came! We had so much fun decorating and socializing before hand and then the fun started when momma and all her friends came. We ate all the yummy food then played some games and then she opened her gifts. I'm so glad that I could take part in throwing this shower for her and cannot wait to meet Brantley Rae in February. She got almost ALL of her big stuff! All of us(hostesses) went in together and got them the Pack-n-play, which will be used often, but they also got their Carseat and Stroller!!! Overall everything turned out great! Here are some pictures from the shower! Love you Allison and BR!

Created in God's Image

So this morning I was doing some reading out of my Joel Osteen book and came across this page. Seemed fitting for Today, enjoy!

Your self-image is much like a self portrait; it is who and what you picture yourself to be, which may or may not be an accurate reflection of who you really are. How you feel about yourself will have a tremendous impact on how far you go in life, because you will probably speak, act, and react as the person you think you are. The truth is, you will never rise above the image you have of yourself in your mind.

God wants us to have healthy, positive self-images, to see ourselves as priceless treasures. He wants us to feel good about ourselves. Despite our faults and weaknesses, God loves us anyway. He created us in His image, and He is continually shaping us, conforming us to His character, helping us to become even more like the person He is. Consequently, we must learn to love ourselves, faults and all, not because we are egotists, but because that's how our heavenly Father loves us. You can walk with confidence knowing that God loves you unconditionally. His love for you is based on what you are, not what you do. He created you as a unique individual-there has never been, nor will there ever be, aother person exactly like you, and He sees you as His special masterpiece!

YOU WERE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.

Jewel/Halloween 2009

We had such a fun weekend! Starting Friday afternoon, Kiki had her class Halloween party so she got to wear her Tinkerbell costume ALL DAY! Then Friday night Sam took me to see Jewel downtown. She was soooo good acoustic and we had so much fun! Then Saturday we met Kearstyn's mimi and nana and went to my brother and sister in laws neighborhood to trick or treat! It was FREEZING but kiki refused to wear a jacket! Kearstyn and her cousins got TONS of candy!! Here are a few pictures from the concert and from Halloween! I hope everyone had a great Halloween and a great Monday!

Photo Shoot at Botanical Gardens

The "AUNT" picture

Brittany, Britney, Mommy, Jami, Allison and Kiki

but we had lots of others missing!

Last Sunday I decided it was time to get Kearstyn's 3year pictures done. Yes I know a little late, but they turned out amazing!We went to the Botanical Gardens to take the pictures. Iasked some of my closest friends to come so we could get an "aunt" picture with kiki.....I would not have asked anyone else to take photos besides one of my best friends Brittany! She does such an amazing job with photography and I was very happy with all the pictures she took this day! The weather was absolutely perfect and even though Kearstyn was coming down with the croup, she did awesome! Joining us were, Britney C, Allison W, Jami K, and Brittany L. Not all of her "aunts" could be there, but we will get a group shot one of these days. Im so excited to have new pictures of kiki and I to print and frame and put up all around the apartment. Thanks again Brittany for doing such a great job with the pictures!!! Check her out at bgphotographs.com

It was so much fun getting to spend time with awesome friends and take lots and lots of pictures!

Here are some of my favorites!

You can find the rest on my facebook page or on Brittany's website!

KISSES!
Have a great Wednesday!!
