The newest addition to the Helton family. She was a Christmas present for me from James. She's a french bulldog and is a perfect fit! The kids love her and she's very sweet. Loves to play and enjoys cleaning the kitchen floor after meals. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS0wGRiRUIQtjr8aBNyfMaUXbDpmAd9SUkhtMrY5EkFRU4rXqwql8FFOkjbp9JpDbgCOVLRpq5rE9LkEdW0J3wVDzD8drNrxcBBoHcZ-S8APrYixrF4lo2jlIAmFwWxsgGTHQjW3Hi3gI/s1600-h/IMG_4213.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431641194313243650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS0wGRiRUIQtjr8aBNyfMaUXbDpmAd9SUkhtMrY5EkFRU4rXqwql8FFOkjbp9JpDbgCOVLRpq5rE9LkEdW0J3wVDzD8drNrxcBBoHcZ-S8APrYixrF4lo2jlIAmFwWxsgGTHQjW3Hi3gI/s400/IMG_4213.JPG" /></a><br /><div></div>Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526157236392394590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063628351855128792.post-43694577568207260812009-12-30T21:38:00.000-08:002009-12-30T21:48:40.117-08:00Christmas 2009Christmas was fairly quiet and relaxing this year. No big snow storms, no big meals to worry about (because no one came to visit this year). We had crab legs for our Christmas dinner this year. That's right. You know why?

It meows, purrs and is motion activated. So, when you walk by it, it meows at you. It was meowing under the tree. Try to hide that! As you can see, he loves it. He also got a puppy that whimpers and moves its head. Bella is infatuated with it and carries it around. It's the one toy they fight over. She loves to tote it around, pet it and kiss it. Kayden typically only wants it when she has it, but such is life as a 4 year old! </div></div></div></div>Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526157236392394590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063628351855128792.post-89255943275143448642009-12-30T21:27:00.000-08:002009-12-30T21:38:23.186-08:00Family PicturesMy new goal is to have family pictures done at least once a year.

Getting 2 kids to look at and smile at the camera - at the same time - is no easy task! But, I got one, and called it good. Bella is learning so much so quickly; it's amazing to watch all the firsts with her. She's clapping, waving, saying bye-bye, mama, dada, and even took a couple steps the other night. Kayden is such a good big brother. Bella loves to tackle him and hug him, and he just hugs her right back. Wonder how long that will last.... Kayden is doing great in preschool. They are caroling at a retirement home next week and I've decided to take the day off from work to go with him. After caroling, there will be a visit from Santa! I've already got my list of wishes ready!

James bought it yesterday and told Kayden I would help him make it. (Thanks honey!) Anyways, we gave it a go, and I think it turned out okay. There wasn't as much frosting as I would have liked, and I think at least half of the candy ended up in Kayden's mouth before I was able to get it on the house, but we had fun nonetheless! Next year, I will take a different approach now that I know what I'm doing! It was great to spend some time with Kayden working on a craft. </div></div></div>Alishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10526157236392394590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063628351855128792.post-83554719158710602512009-11-01T21:10:00.000-08:002009-11-01T21:16:06.442-08:00HalloweenWe had a pretty fun Halloween this year.

Kayden was crawling at 7 1/2 months and walking at 9 1/2 and I've been chasing him since. I can only imagine how much busier my life is going to be when she gets mobile!

She's doing pretty good with sitting up, so we brought the high chair in for a test run. She loved the new view, and likes being able to sit at the table with the rest of us. It's easier for me too, since now she can't grab at every bite I take. I can't wait to be able to give her more than rice cereal.
