New Year

New Year means great possibilities!

So it is a new year and there are plans being made! Plans of healthier lifestyles and more family time.   Plans of making memories and keeping them.  I am the worst at remembering things so I plan to write more down and take more pictures. 

Here is the first! I asked Kels to make her bed.  Once the mounds of stuffed animals were placed on the bed, I kindly asked if we could giveaway a few to good homes in order to make room for her to sleep.  Her answer? Just to lay upon them! Of course!

Airplane!

Ok, so I have been trying to teach Kelsey sign language over the past few months because she does not talk (in a language we can understand) much. I started this week trying to just show her signs of fun words that we learn...like the sign for "car" and such. We are now living at my parents' home near Randolph AFB. I made the mistake of teaching her the sign for airplane when she stood in awe a few days ago as some jets flew above. Now when we go places such as near the AFB or near the San Antonio Airport, I here from the backseat "Zoom Zoom" and when I look back she is waving her had wildly in the air while pointing to make sure I see the plane/jet. She won't stop until I have acknowledged the plane. I guess I can say she has a love for planes and she gets it from her father and grandfather!

A pure sense of Adventure!

Ok, so now that Kelsey is over 18 months we have decided to really try to start potty training. All you moms out there please send helpful words and ideas! We have been slowly getting her used to the idea for the past few months. I realized when I woke up to her handing me her diaper that we may be ready....By the way...not a good way to wake up in the morning! At least is was just wet not anything worse. And no there have been no paintings of poop on the walls of her crib...yes I have heard horror stories from friends and family. I'll keep you posted on how things go with this. We are trying a few methods including the M&Ms method from Kelsey's Nannie. Say some extra prayers for us! It just amazes me how Kelsey has no fear of most things. A dog could be barking in her face and she wants to hug him. She always is so assured that someone will catch her if she falls or be there to comfort if she gets hurt. Doesn't that make you want to have that kind of assurance all the ...

So we were Texas Zoo bound today. About halfway to Victoria, I realize that in my frantic state of trying to leave the house I did not pack correctly for a day at the zoo. I only had 1 drink for Kelsey and 1 for myself. I only had 1 snack trap for us to share...now having gone to the San Antonio zoo on many occasions I realized I was in for spending a fortune on refreshments inside the zoo since I did not pack well enough. Oh well. Kelsey and I were doing good to be going to the zoo. I threatened many times earlier today that the zoo trip would be cancelled unless she behaved....unfortunately it took the third threat for me to figure out that she is too young to understand and just laughed. So on to the zoo...unprepared...I pay my entry fee (Kelsey gets in free still! ) and proceed to the map to figure out which course to go! After looking at the map for 5 seconds I realize the zoo was maybe 1-2 acres SMALL! Now how did that happen here in Texas??? I mean, the TEXAS zoo is that SMALLE...
