UPDATE

Since I've last Blogged we have done several things...The Kellis Family went to Knott's Berry Farm, I got shingles (aka adult chicken pox), Kimball was blessed, we went camping.
Sadly after all the trouble of getting a new battery for our camera, while we were on our CA trip our camera gave out right when we were about to start our day at the theme park! :0( We had a good run, Brandon purchased it with our wedding money back in 2003!
Our new one is in the mail, family and friends helped us take photos of the above events so updates are on the way. :0) ----My good friend Kayla took this amazing photo of Chloe! What a cool friend! Not only did she take her off my hands so I could spend quality down time with Kimball but she takes these awesome photo! I sure am blessed with talented and kind friends!

DAY IN THE LIFE OF...

We LOVE when dad relieves mom

Plays and Tickles with Chloe

Gets Chloe good and tired

To avoid her opening the diaper bag snacks on the bed while dad is out of town

Kimball makes funny wiggle faces

Still has crazy cross-eyed looks

But lucky us he still SLEEPS like an angel!!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

THIS IS DAY ONE...I THINK CHLOE'S THOUGHTS ARE THAT KIMBALL IS THE BEST NEW TOY SHE EVER GOT. EVERYTHING IS STILL ABOUT HER AND NO SIGNS OF JELOUSY YET.

DAY TWO...A LESS SHY CHLOE IS EVEN MORE EXCITED ABOUT HER LIVE BABY.

KIMBALL'S FIRST POST

CHLOE & KIMBALL

GRANDMA CINDY (MY MOM), KIMBALL, CHLOE, & GRANDMA SALLY (BRANDON'S MOM) BIG THANKS TO BOTH GRANDMAS FOR ALL YOUR HELP WITH CHLOE WHILE KIMBALL AND I WERE IN THE HOSPITAL.

CHLOE AND DADDY TAKING THEIR FIRST LOOKS AT BABY BROTHER

Kimball Dean Tackett

born 1/19/09 @ 12:55 pm
7 lbs 13 oz & 21 inches long

THIS LITTLE BOY HAS BEEN GREAT AND SLEEPING LIKE A DREAM; HIS BIG SISTER IS ANOTHER STORY. :) DADDY IS A PUSH OVER AND CHLOE GOT AWAY WITH A LOT WHILE MOM WAS GONE.

I LOVE MY LITTLE FAMILY AND AM REALLY ENJOYING LIFE RIGHT NOW. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP LEADING UP TO THIS POINT AND ALL YOUR CONTINUING LOVE AND SUPPORT!

CAMERA CATASTROPHY

Somehow over Christmas someone might have lost the battery to our camera. Brandon will be ordering a new one and lets all hope the battery comes before our little BOY!
For all those who don't know I am scheduled for a C-section Monday January 19 @ 12:30!!! The count down has begun. He will share a birthday with his aunt Jenn and we decided on the name KIMBALL DEAN TACKETT. Think of us while you are of playing on Civil Rights Day aka Martin Luther King Day.

CATCH UP

I know it's been a while but we now have internet again! So we are playing catch up with a few random photos. Enjoy!

Chloe for some reason loves to be inside Dottie's kennel.

She will even open the door for Dottie to come in then close the door and laugh as she locks Dottie out of her own kennel! Chloe loves the "psych out"

Here are my 3 MUSKETEERS

Sienna, Katelyn, & Chloe

"Miss Independent" only will eat what she can feed herself! I seem to spot clean a lot more laundry and am in need of larger bibs.

Rob, Jenn, Brandon, Sterling, Sienna, Chloe, G-ma Sally, & Kate

My studly spouse ran the Turkey Trot and I am so proud, but we enrolled way late and paid with cash. When we got home to check his time there was never any record of him!!! Something tells me that girl just pocketed the cash and gave him a bogus sensor. We all had fun and I was designated babysitter which I felt can be just as strenuous as a 10K run.

Orange smiles with G-ma

All tuckered out!

Brandon loves it when she sleeps with her mouth open. :b

Uh-oh the look of death.

PARK PICS

Bit of CRAZY HAIR

Best when these girls have there own slide otherwise...

well you can see. Nora and Chloe are great friends as long as they don't have to share. I love Nora's grin.

Chloe couldn't figure this one out. It is too steep for her to climb and for some reason she had a tough time using it as a slide. She has her daddy's smile in this photo.
We didn't get many Halloween pics because my camera battery is only good if you charge it after every outing! Even if this isn't the best pic somethings better than nothing.
Chloe was pretty warm in her costume and not very happy!
