Amber and Keith are getting married!

Keith asked me to marry him (some say finally) last night during our holiday party with friends. While I helped pick out the ring, he told me they had not finished sizing it yet, so I was TOTALLY surprised! He brought me a glass of champagne and I said, "I don't really want any champagne right now" and he said, "Yes, you do." As I looked at the glass, he asked me to marry him...the ring was at the bottom.

We are very happy and looking forward to seeing you all soon!

And now...the ring... :)

Snow...

Both of our girls seem to love the snow...just like their dad...I remember some great times building igloos and snowmen and having huge snowball fights around the neighborhood...Liv sure loves it and never wants to come in...Chloe loves to watch sister out our door and i'm sure she will want to do whatever her big sister is doing...

Chloë's 2nd 1st Bday Party...

Chloe sure had fun with her Grandma & Grandpa Leach too...and her Aunt Elissa & Uncle Scotty too...she really loves her Horton the Elephant!! she laughs and smiles and snuggles her face into him...he is soft! Anybody wanting to know or can't seem to remember how to put the two little dots over the e of chloe...(of course it won't work on this part of the blog...but it worked on the title)...anyways...you hold down alt and type 0235...and on most applications it will work...not sure about your apple computer amber...i'm sure it is different...those apple people are all hoidy toidy...;)A

Chloë is 1!

Chloe turns one year old today!! time freaking flys!! I really cannot believe how fast time goes by...seems like olivia should be 1 still...anyways...thought I would share some family info for her birthday!;) We pretty specifically named Olivia Grace after Ola Grace Febuary...we were really searching for a name this time around...I came up with Chloe Ryann as a mix of Chloe Sevigny from the show Big Love that me and Emily watched...and I added an N to ryan adams...one of my favorite singers...I just said Chloe Ryann one night and we both liked it...it never really changed after that...even though emily claims that i named both girls she really liked both names and if my memory serves me she actually came up with olivia first and i liked it... well anyways hope that was informative...hehe...

Happy Birthday ChloMo!

Mom's New Do

mom said you wanted to see her new do...liv's reaction was pretty classic...she said "GRAN!!! Grow it back!!" she is sweet...i probably should have warned her a little...;)A

Happy 1st Birthday Bear

Amber and Keith's "baby" is 1 today!

Amber Voted Today!

Yippee! While I LOVE the ritual of voting on Election Day, I am not sure where I may be sent as a volunteer on Nov. 4, so I went ahead and voted in-person, absentee today.

Felt GREAT to cast my vote for Barack Obama!

Liv was a flower girl!

Hey all...here is a picture of me and the girls from a wedding that olivia was a flower girl. We all had a great time. Probably not as much fun as a week of sailing in the keys...but fun none the less. Chloe will be 1 in about 2 weeks! time flys when your having fun!

Amber learned to sail

Keith and I went to Key Largo for a week in September...and I learned to sail!  It was really fun, but also really exhausting!  We spent 7-8 hours on the water almost every day...our night life was being so happy to go to sleep! :)

Baby on the Beach

If only all our days could be like this one! What could be better than a baby sleeping on a beach in the shade of her Gran's umbrella?

Was basically checking out the family blog...hope this can be cool...A

A New Family Blog

I decided it might be nice to have a blog for my family to use to share news, information, funny stories, etc.  So, I've invited Adam, Emily and Mom (Carolyn) to contribute!  We'll see how it goes!
