So the Crawling begins...

Well Kelson has officially started crawling as of two nights ago. She is a little shy of 11 months. I guess its time to keep a close eye on her and latching the cabinets and moving the fragile things out of reach. It seems like she has learned so much this past month. She is signing dog and food now. The new trick I'm working on is asking her how old she is gonna be next month and holding up my finger for 1. Well see if she can do it- I think so ;) I still can't believe how fast time has flown by. She has 4 teeth now. Her YOUNGER cousin Corgan already has 8- wowza. I've started planning her bday party for next month. Jason's Heartland schedule has really picked up so we have to have her party on the 17th. But at least we have a date and the theme will be Wonder Pets. Her most FAVORITE show. Grammy bought her the Ty beannie baby Wonder Pets- she LOVES them!!! She plays with them while she watches her show. For those of you who like kid shows and want a good laugh- watch this show on Nick Jr/Noggin. Its adorable. We have a couple of other shows we are slowy introducing her too- Dora, Little Bill, Mickey's Clubhouse, and some others. What are you guys watching with your kids??? I have TRIED to watch Yo Gabba Gabba, but that is WWWWWAAAAAYYYYY cheezy.

I bet it won't be long before Kelson will be walking on her own. She is standing up pretty well on her own, but I still don't want to let her go. She will learn it on her own- like the crawling. I see NO REASON to rush that stage. That's just more work for the parents. We are going to drop her crib down tonight- she is already trying to stand up in it and I don't want her falling out. We have her 1 year checkup next month. I can't wait to go- its been 6 months since her last checkup and I want to know her weight/height now. Course I'm dreading the shots :(

Heartland in Palm Bay, FL on July 4th

We had a great time at the show. Lots of friends and family showed up to support Heartland. Jason got Kelson up on stage to sing "I loved her first". The crowd loved this and AAAWWW'd. She was such a good girl and tried to grab the mic a few times- I think she's ready to start singing ;) haha! What a girl!! They did their new single "Slow Down" and it went over very well.
After the show, the "partiers" went out to Lous Blues- we had a freaking blast!!!

BTW- I meant to mention on the last post that after we returned from FL we watched the video of Kelson with the characters and she again was soooo excited and freaked out screaming at the TV- it was like re-living it all over again! So awesome!4th Pics

Epcot and Animal Kingdom- July 3rd

Heartland had a show booked in Palm Bay, FL, so we got a chance to go to FL again. Would we pass that up? Heck no. We figured while we are down there ;) well go to Epcot and Animal Kingdom. Thanks to our Cousin Patty we got in for free. It was me, Kelson, Jason, Rodney, Lucy, Cousin Patty, and Theana. Cousin Patty is a sweet friend thats a huge Heartland fan, so she hooks it up for us ;) Anyways, I will admit that I was not looking forward to the FL heat so I wasn't gun hoe on going, but when we got there it was overcast and not too crowded. YEA!!! This was Rodney's first time at Disney- poor guy- he has never been at all. We wanted to go to Magic Kingdom, but the free passes were only good for these two parks. Hey- you can't complain about free stuff. So anyways, we had a blast. Went on Soarin' and Kelson got a good nap in. We went to ride the Nemo ride. Kelson got pics with the fish. She liked those. Jason and Rodney wanted to ride the Mission to Mars ride (I have rode it before and almost vomited so I passed), so they went to get in line for that. While they did Kelson, Theana, Patty, and Lucy all went to stand in line to see the Disney characters. I wasn't sure how Kelson would do or how she would react. Well this was the BEST part of the whole trip. Kelson had a freaking blast. She got to see Mickey Mouse, Pluto (by far her favorite), Minnie Mouse, Chip n Dale, and Goofy. I think Pluto reminded her of Eers. She was so cute playing with him and he even got on the floor with her and danced- it was sooo cute. She cried when we had to leave him to go to the next character. As we were standing in line- Pluto came over to her again and started dancing and Kelson went nuts- it was the cutest site EVER. People that didn't even know us was taking pics of her. Pluto was showing her lots of attention and she loved that. I couldn't quit smiling! Sadly Jason missed it cause he was on a ride :( but good thing we got pics and video.
We went to see the Finding Nemo musical. Kelson was screaming- because she was excited and loved it, but then there was a part in the musical where there was a HUGE boom and she freaked out, so her Memere (lucy) took her out while we watched the rest. Next we went to get ice cream, and head to Animal Kingdom.
On the tram ride there they had some shiny gold poles for people to hang on to and I jokingly called Kelson my little pole dancer and so I had her hang on the poles- she was laughing while she was dancing on the poles- haha! Kidding of course, but it was funny to see her facial expressions.
By this time it was getting pretty hot. But still not nearly as bad as it could have been. We went and saw the birds, tree of life, and to ride the Mt Everest ride. This one is super cool. We went and rode the dinosaur ride- that is pretty cool too. The picture that the park took of us- me, theana, rodney, and Jason was hilarious. Theana had her head between her legs and I had my hand over my eyes- haha! Almost bought it but the prices are ridiculous. We had talked about going to see the fireworks, but after 12 hrs of park we were all pretty done. Kelson was GREAT and didn't fuss at all. What a girl! Just like her daddy at Disney :) I wanted to hit the safari, but we ran out of time :(
Overall we had a great time!!! The hotel/condo we stayed at was just ok- all the beds squeaked so that was annoying and they were very small. Oh well- the time at the park was fun.

Catching up... Hsv Air show-- June 27th

I'm a little behind on posting, but I've been really busy and wanted to wait till I had pictures posted. Anyways.
Two weekends ago we went to the Hsv Air Show- it was fabulous. It was me, Kelson, Jason, Aunt Weeza, Chris, Adrienne, Tim(her b/f), and Elliot. This is the first time Boeing allowed their employees to bring their families and watch the show from our airport site, so that was very cool. We tailgated in the Boeing parking lot and watched the blue angels. The kids REALLY enjoyed it. I was very impressed too. This is the first time I've got to one of these shows. It was pretty loud, but that didn't stop us. Kelson even enjoyed it and was pointing at all the planes as they flew by. Jason got AWESOME pics of the blue angels flying over us. Getting good with that camera. It was pretty hot, but we made the best of it. Anyways, check out the pics. It was very cool and we will go back again next time. Hsv Airshow pics
