Christmas 2012

****sorry...still having issues writing captions so I'll write them in order of the pictures and you'll just have to enjoy the pictures without the actual captions under it*****


Kolton has been trying so hard to crawl. In fact the last week he was at daycare, I was signing accident forms as he would scoot over to the toy box, pull himself up and take a couple of steps, then fall.

We loaded up and headed to Gramma's to watch the Christmas parade.  Kyler was SO excited because he got to see Santa riding the firetruck.  I stood in line, first in line, so that the boys could get to see him and sit in his lap.  Kyler RAN over to him to tell him that he saw him on the firetruck.

We ended up going to dinner at my FAVORITE place..El Pirate. There's a picture of me in my purple Santa hat.

Charleigh and Cagen got to come home with us and Gramma.  We went to Chick-Fil-A where Kolton got to have some chicken and ice cream..thanks to his big cousin.  She did Great with it!  They all 4 had a blast together.  I LOVE the picture of them all in front of my Christmas tree.  We went to Kyler's daycare Christmas performance, but those pictures are still on my camera and will be another blog ;D

Kolton's teachers made me a very adorable ornament of Kolton.  And Kyler's teachers gave me some very cute pictures of Kyler with a Santa hat and some lights and garland.

There are some pictures of me showing my weight loss!!!!

Tim's group and my group met up with Mom at Fiserman's Village to look at the lights they have it decorated for Christmas and to eat for dinner.  We also saw Santa there too.

We all got together and had Christmas at Mom's.  Kolton learned to crawl forward, Christmas morning. He was chasing after Kyler's ambulance.  He has been NON stop since.  Santa brought Kolton an activity play thing (picture of him standing up playing with it); Kyler got a guitar; Cagen got drums (better his house than mine!) and Charleigh got American Dolls with a scooter.  Kyler and Cagen ROCKED OUT all morning long!!!

My handsome cowboy got real cowboy boots, a real cowboy hat, a real cowboy belt with a cool bull buckle and a very handsome real cowboy shirt.  I can't wait to see him all dressed up wearing them together.

He's my George Strait!!

Kolton is crawling out of his room.  I heard his hands slapping the tile and went around the corner to see what was happening and there he was crawling up a storm.

My handsome fireman!! I am ONE LUCKY MOMMY to have such handsome boys that I can't get enough of.  Sure do love them!!

Kolton is eating eggs, grits and everything else you bring towards that handsome mouth!

I'm Leaving..On a Jet Plane...

For my birthday, Chris had to work. So Kyler and I put up the Christmas tree and decorated the house during Kolton's nap.  My Mom had come down on the Friday prior and took me and the boys out to dinner to Kumo's.  Kyler loved the Coi fish and was making fishy face kisses.  The night of my birthday, we went to dinner with Kevin, Sherry, Zachary and Nicholas.

The very next morning, I left on a Jet Plane and headed to Greensboro, NC for some MACK Warranty Training.  There are pictures of my hotel that became my home for a week.  I missed my boys terribly, but did enjoy myself and met some awesome new people and learned a lot too.

It was cold and you'll see frost on the window of the car the last morning I was there. On my flight home, I bought the boys some goodies from my trip.  Kyler got a pilots hat and some airplanes and Kolton got an airplane that sounds like it's taking off and lights up.

Happy 7 Months Old

Mr. Kolton has reached 7 months old!!! Can you believe it? Where is time going??!!

Kolton now has 4 teeth and really working hard at crawling. He wants to be on the go. He can sit up by himself and crawls backwards.  He says Mama and Dada.

They're both in a giraffe shirt!

For you Mrs. Joan

This post is for you Mrs. Joan (and Gramma of coarse).

I am FINALLY getting caught up.  You would have thought that me having normal people hours and not working weekends that I could keep up with everything...HA!!

So to catch up since Halloween, here is what the Kiesling's have been up to:

((((sorry .....pictures are messed up and I cannot add captions to them.. GRRRRR))))

Kyler had joined a bowling league with his cousins on Monday nights.  It was for 6 weeks.





Kyler's very own ball he got to pick out himself!



 





Making lemonade:



 

 

 

 

 

 

So to "add my captions":

 

Kyler was making homemade lemonade from some lemons we received from Grandma Great.  Kolton got to taste it as a frozen lemonade and he would scream when the spoon came away from his mouth! Take it he liked it.

 

My Pilgrim made his hat and hand print at school.  I still have the hand print taped to my desk at work.  Kyler was helping me stuff the deviled eggs for our Thanksgiving luncheon. We met up with my family at Highlands Hammock and had lunch there, then we took off on a bike ride and walked the catwalk.  The picture of all the kids in the tree is the same tree we used to climb in as kids when we were their age.  Kolton is eating sweet potato casserole and Loving it!

 

Chris and I both had to work the day after Thanksgiving, so Mom and Papa Pat kept the kids for us.  They LOVED it as they got to go out in the pasture chasing and feeding the cows and riding Papa Pat's Polaris.
