Ethan

I took Ethan to the Dr. Office on the 23rd of December because of symptoms I thought may be RSV. It turned out he had a bit of Pneumonia in his right lung and they had concerns about his wheezing and cough. Poor guy reall had it rough the first few days until his antibiotics kicked in and he recieved a blessing from his dad and Paka. These were taken on the 27th and he is such a happy boy. He is growing up so fast. He will be 10 months old on the 1st...where did my little tiny babe go?

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Card

Merry Christmas! This is our Christmas card picture. I can't send them to everyone on my email list, so I thought I'd post it and wish you a Happy Holiday! We think about you all often and love that you are a part of our lives.

Ready for Christmas

We are getting so excited for Christmas!! We got our Christmas tree and decorated the house. Kaylin is such a goof ball. She loves life and lives it to the fullest. Ethan is one cute baby and loves making us laugh.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we had Thanksgiving at the Clarke's. The food was delicious! I chipped in by making mom's yummy fruit salad and cheesecakes. We played the game Catch Phrase after dinner and had a lot of laughs. Instead of teams we played that if it beeped on you, you were out and we played until there was one person left. Of course I had to sit by my rival game player, Brad (Travis' dad) and catch him when he would try to cheat! On Friday night we all went to see the Johnny Cash movie, Walk the Line. Danen loved Johnny Cash. His big group of friends from highschool all came and we took up about 5 rows in the theater. We enjoyed it, mostly because of the company we were with.

Little Guy

Ethan is 8 1/2 months old. Plays hard, eats like crazy and has a heart like gold.

They grow so fast

Every day I look at my sweet little girl and am amazed at how fast she is growing...I try to remember all the sweet things she does and how she is changing from baby to girl. Here are some pics of Kaylin at 28 months old. Times goes by too quickly.

A day at the Park

We went down to Peachtree City for a picnic at the park. Kaylin loved going up and down the slides and swinging on the swings. Ethan did not like the slide at all, especially when Kaylin held him. They static shocked him all day. But, he loved going on the swings and giggled the whole time. We also went down to the lake and talked to the ducks and geese, threw rocks in the lake and went exploring in the trees.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween! Kaylin was a cat and Ethan, a bumblebee. On Friday we went to a carnival at a nearby church with big blow up jumping castles and hayrides (we had to bribe Kaylin to leave). On Saturday night we went to a trunk-or-treat with the Clarkes in Peachtree City. She would say Trick-or-treat and thank you at each trunk, run around with other kids, trip on her tail and get up to say" I having fun Gamma!" and get scared by other costumes, usually the ones with masks. On Monday night we went Trick-or-Treating in our neighborhood with Grandma Sharp after a fun play day outside and a picnic at the park. She answered the door for trick-or-treaters and to the first girl dressed as a spider, picked a candy out of the girls bucket! After that she got the hang of handing candy out, but would usually give themthe smallest piece. (we'd tell them to take more) Then when we went to the neghbors houses she'd give candy from her bucket to the person at the door! And when we got home wanted to open every single lolipop she got!
Ethan was a great sport and enjoyed being a bumblebee! He's crawling now so it was cute to see his little wings in the air. He was so adorable!

Pumpkins

Here are pictures of the kids today with their pumpkins and some more leaves. After we spent all Saturday raking them up, the wind blew them all around the yard!

Fall Leaves

We have been anxiously awaiting the fall season. Well, I might be the only one that's sick of the heat and inviting the chilly weather in gladly.
The other day we raked leaves and Kaylin insisted on jumping in every pile and spreading it all over with her own rake. Ethan enjoyed sitting in the piles too, eating the leaves and pine straw. What else would a 7 1/2 month old do?
I also took some pictures of the kids with their pumpkins. Kaylin named all of ours as Daddy, Mommy, Kaylin and Baby Pumpkin. We are carving them tonight!

The Sharp Family

Here are some professional Family Pictures. Okay, so my kids were horrible and wouldn't ever look at the camera, but they are still up in our house. Here's one of the Sharp Family as well. My parents, all my siblings and their families. What a bunch!

Family Reunion in N.C.

Our Sharp Family Reunion this year was at Carolina Beach, North Carolina. We had a blast being with family, playing on the beach and swimming in the pool. We also had fun walking to the peir to see the catch of the day and also to the icecream shop. On Friday, my sister Angie married Andrew Hayes on the beach. What a closing to the perfect week.
