Our New "rental" Place in MN

We finally moved in. We are renting a townhouse right now, it is good but a lot smaller than our house in SC. It has 3 bedrooms 1 large bathroom, and only a single car garage. We may or may not move into a larger rental in April, depends on how the winter and a single car garage go! I wanted to post some pictures of the new place. It was really cold out, so I didn't take any pictures of the front sorry!
Mommy and Keith in the kitchen.
This is the view out of our front door. It looks like a lot of snow, but it was only about 4 inches.

Here is our sidewalk after the snow came. The company we are renting from sends someone out to shovel the sidewalk and the driveways! Nice!
This is Keith in the living room playing football with his football guy:)

Keith in his room. He has TOO many toys and he is only 19 months!!!
Keith with his new big boy haircut. We actually had it "styled" like a real haircut. They did a #5 on the sides, it looks good. He was ok for it, but daddy had to hold him.
Keith and Daddy sitting on the couch together. He is holding what is left of a balloon LaLa sent to him. I finally had to cut the balloon and we had to say "bye bye". After the balloon was gone, he talked with LaLa and he was telling her all about the balloon and that it was gone. He has 3 other balloons around the house, but he wanted that one. I don't know what he was saying to LaLa but he was serious about it and that his balloon was "gone". Keith has been such a blessing and a challenge lately. He is soaking up everything and learning new words daily, but he has started saying "no" to EVERYTHING! We are slowly working through things, and I know this will pass and we will move onto the next "phase":):)

We Made it to MInnesota!

We made it to MN and we will move into a rental place on Tuesday. We are staying in the Comfort Inn and it is going pretty good. There is snow everywhere but it hasn't snowed since we have been here. Jerry's friend Brian helped him drive to MN and we decided to go to Sioux Falls, SD yesterday. Brian likes to play disc golf and wanted to play in the snow. This was also Keith's first time in the snow, he liked it but said "It COLD":
Here he is all bundled up. He didn't mind it to much!

This is Brian, Keith and Jerry standing at the top of a sledding hill. It was pretty cool, we will have to go back and sled sometime soon:)
Keith trying to run in the snow, he didn't go very fast!

This is the road leading up to the park.

Jerry playing disk golf.
Keith playing disk golf. Well not actually, but it was a cute picture.
This was just one hole on the course. They walked through a good 1-2 feet of powder snow. They had a blast! I took Keith to the mall to walk around until they finished.


The last stop was Falls Park. It was partly frozen and some water was still flowing.
This side was frozen over with snow on top. I just thought it looked cool.
Here is a close up of the falls, you can see the frozen parts and the parts still moving. It was a really neat site.
Family Picture. The coats make us look huge, but I guess I have to get used to that until spring!

Keith and Daddy
Keith and Mommy
That is my little boy, all full of personality! He is 19 months old now and the words he is learning is amazing. Of course his new word is "snow, it COLD"!!!

There was an airplane in the sky and he is telling you that "it is up".




Christmas Vacation in GA

Jerry left on New Years Eve to start up to MN with the dogs and I stayed in GA with Keith. A few days later we flew up to meet Jerry in MN. The few days we had left in GA we tried to pack in some time with family. We went to Tallahassee and to the Park. Enjoy the pictures.

This is how he fell asleep on the way back from Tallahassee.
Just a cute picture of the little man in my life!

I tried to slide with Keith and Grant, but Keith didn't like it to much!


Keith thinks he is a big boy now and wants to do it all by himself!

"Rock, Rock"
On the purple dinosaur with LaLa


Keith got foam blocks from LaLa and PaPa and he loved to build them up, knock them down, and then dive on them.


We spent a few days in Alabaster, AL with Jerry's friend Noah and his wife Tracy. They just had a new baby a month ago named Jack. Keith loved to watch over the "baby".
We took the Wii to Noah's and this is Jerry and Noah playing baseball. Jerry is pitching and noah is batting. They had fun playing WAY into the night.

We couldn't leave out playing the Wii with the Eidson's. This is Jerry's mom and dad boxing each other. We had a blast playing, especially bowling. Delores really got into baseball also!


Christmas 2007

We left SC and headed home for the holidays to GA. There are a ton of pictures so enjoy!

We had Christmas with The Eidson's in Valdosta and Keith got a basketball goal from his Uncle Nathan and Aunt Valerie. He was so upset when we had to put it back in the box so Jerry could take it up to MN.

Keith LOVES balls, and this is one of the many gifts from Grandma and Grandpa.

This is Keith and his cousin Kate.

Keith got a Sit and Spin Zebra from Grandma and Grandpa, he loved it!

Kate's big gift from Grandma and Grandpa was a play kitchen and Keith was trying to play with her gift. He wanted to have what ever Kate had!
This is Jerry with his gift from his brother Nathan!
Kate is 2 and Keith is 18 months and they had a BLAST playing together this Christmas.

La La and Papa have a trampoline and Keith loves to jump jump on it. Here he is with his cousin Grant.

Grant and Keith at the Christmas Eve service at First Presbyterian Church.
This was the best I got of him, he wanted to get DOWN.
For some reason, Keith likes to get into the crates with the dogs. But it is a cute picture.


Christmas at LaLa and PaPa's, one of his gifts from LaLa and Papa was a jack in the box. He was cute playing with it.
This was from Aunt Katherine, Uncle Jon and Uncle Lance. If you made him stand back he would actually throw it instead of placing it inside. He had a lot of fun with it and we can't wait to get it back up here in MN.
Here is Keith with his stocking. He couldn't decide what he wanted to play with.
Playing with his Aunt TaTa.
Me with my sister Tabitha (Aunt TaTa).



My nephew Grant has a Wii and we played with my family. Here is my sister-in-law Katherine with Tabitha. They are boxing each other and it looks like Katherine just got hit!
Mom and Dad boxing was so FUNNY! Mom kept wanting to kick but that isn't the way it works!
Keith is happy if he has a ball or a balloon. Here he is with his Uncle Lance playing with the balloon. He will play for as long as you last!

Keith with his Uncle Lance. I call all my brother's "Bubba" so Keith calls all of them Bubba. I guess I'll have to work on each one's actually name now:)
