Awwww
So Lois has a brother or a sister...the puppies were born a few days ago, so it should only be 5-6 more weeks before we can get another puppy. I'm definitely more excited now that WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! We were approved to rent the beautiful, perfect house that we went and looked at last weekend!! I can't wait!! And this time, we have a backyard, which makes housebreaking the puppy SO MUCH EASIER!!!

So I was feeling kinda nostalgic and thought I would show a pic of Lois and Clark...we still miss him!! This is when we FIRST brought them both home!!

And here's the most recent pic of Lois we have...she was digging under the stove to get the last of the Rice Krispies we spilled when making peanut-butter Rice Krispies treats! Although she's tons bigger, she's still little bitty!!


I took a very cute pic of Kylah in the bath, but she so poignantly told me "YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THAT PIC MOMMY! I'M NAKED!!" so I didn't think she would appreciate me putting it up on the blog :) She's quite the little toot these days!!

So we're off to enjoy the rest of our SNOW DAY!! I so totally hope we don't have school again tomorrow...I absolutely LOVE the unanticipated day off!!!

Sweet!!
So Brandon and I totally busted our humps today and got the apartment spic and span clean! We're so proud of ourselves!! Warren and Kathy are coming over for dinner here in a few, so I don't have much time, but here are two quick pics I snapped of Brandon and Lois, and then one with Brandon, Kylah, and Lois.

Oh and we have some exciting news....we put a deposit down on a rental house, so we may be moving here in a few weeks. I'm so very excited, the house is GORGEOUS, and HUGE, but we can still totally afford the rent. And it has a huge backyard for Lo-Lo, and a big huge jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom for me...I am praying so hard that we get it!! It's very interesting how we had just decided to stay in the apartment, and Susan, one of my co-workers that I carpool to work with, called Saturday afternoon with all the details about the house. Brandon and I figured it was going to be waaaaaaay to expensive for us to afford, since it's huge and in a really super nice neighborhood. But it's right within our price range, as long as I go back to work next year. It has four bedrooms, so it'll have plenty of room for our family to grow :)

Anyway, Warren and Kathy just showed up, so gotta go run and entertain!

Yay for a new year (I think...)
So today I got up and decided that this is the day. NO MORE PROCRASTINATING!! So I got out the Wii Balance Board and put the Wii fit game in and proceeded to work out for 30 minutes. Oh man...I'm paying the price now. Totally sore all over my body. My big, fat, unhealthy body. But see, that doesn't even matter because I'M DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! And Brandon and I have both decided that we're sticking to it. We're going to eat healthier, and work out. EVERY DAY!!! And I told him he's probably going to have to get on me pretty bad for the first few days or so, til I'm back in the groove. And I'm so proud of my hubby, he got on the balance board and did a bunch of activities too!!

So now for the pics....snapped this one this afternoon when Kylah was getting ready to go outside to play. We thought it was colder than it actually is, and told her she needed her big coat and a hat. So here's what we got....now just try and tell me she's not the cutest thing you've ever seen!!!
I never did come back and post more from Christmas, so here's one of Kylah and my dad playing with their pens that have little arms and you can push buttons on the back and they "punch" each other...with my dad wearing his pirate eye patch :)

Here's one of her and Uncle Will (her FAVORITE uncle who she "kinda loves him" and is going to marry one day)

Here's when she first woke up at the apartment and walked out of her room to discover what Santa brought...

She got quite a bit from Santa this year, and this is one of the books he brought for her....

And last, but not least, to wrap up the Christmas 08 pics, here's one Nana took of Miss K in her Christmas dress...she told me it took FOREVER to get the shot just right, since Kylah wanted so badly to look at the camera...but it turned out MAGNIFICENT!!
