"Kelty" might mean "Grows like a weed" in some other language.

Kelty is getting so big! She has found that it's fun to pull mommy's hair. She loves to kick and play in her bouncer and scream. She is sooo much fun. Today she almost rolled over, she got about half way onto her side and Sunday night she went to sleep about 10 p.m. and didn't wake up at all until 7 a.m. I can't believe I have a little girl and how PERFECT she is. I'm always wondering how I could have possibly come up with a baby so perfect. And she is learning how to giggle. It's so cute, she has so many little sounds, and she's so happy most of the time. Matt and I are so blessed to have her. Life was good before her, but now it's amazing. Check out this link Pics of Kelty, I'm to lazy to repost the pics here.

My Life At Fifteen! It's amazing how close this is.

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
And you say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way

It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
"You know, I haven't seen you around before"

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen feeling like there's nothing to figure out
Well, count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
Fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool
We'll be outta here as soon as we can

And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car
And you're feeling like flying
And you're momma's waiting up and you're thinking he's the one
And you're dancing 'round your room when the night ends
When the night ends

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin 'round
But in your life you'll do things greater than
Dating the boy on the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen

When all you wanted was to be wanted
Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now

Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind and we both cried

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall
I've found time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen

Your very first day
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors

Kelty's Blessing

Island Park Getaway!

So last weekend we went to stay in my dad's friend's new $1/2 million cabin. It was amazing. The old cabin was a nice getaway, but it was old, small, and didn't it fit the whole family very easily since we have added a few new members to the family. The new cabin is a real retreat. Who needs Hawaii when we've got this cabin easily accessible.  I didn't get very many pictures of the beautiful cabin or the amazing location because I was having so much fun getting pictures of Kelty and the boys.

We went up on Thursday night with my mom and Lexi and her family. My dad, Nannie, and Quintan came up on Friday and Shayla couldn't make it because she had to work in Price. When Quintan arrived, Alexis, Brad, Quintan and I all went on a five mile boat trip in a Flat Bottom Boat on the Mack's Inn River. It was quite an interesting experience. It was supposed to be a 3-4 hour ride but it took us less than 3 hours and we went slow so Brad could try and fish while we were floating down the river, but he wasn't very successful because he kept having to direct us. Certain people in the boat didn't exactly know how to rowe. Claiming they had a problem with their opposites. It was still really fun and the fish were HUGE even though Brad didn't catch any.

As we were going down the river, I saw a huge bull moose. I was so excited all I could say was "Moose, Moose, Moose" and I didn't get a picture because I didn't have my camera, because I was afraid someone would tip the boat over and my camera would be ruined. It was funny because Brad and Quintan didn't see the moose so they wanted us to roe up stream. Do you know how hard it is to roe a flat bottom boat upstream? Brad did that whenever he saw a BIG fish and they were really big. Now since we had so much fun, Matt wants to buy a canoe from one of his friends and go next year.

On Saturday, we went through Yellowstone. When we got to the gate to pay, we found it was free park day. YAY! But then we found out that a bridge near the beginning of the park was closed so we would have to go around and wouldn't see the whole thing. So first we went to Old Faithful where we found out that the part of the park we were going through was closed because of a wild fire. Rangers were leading cars through, but they were not letting you back out so you would have to go out one of the other exits. So it's a really good thing it was free park day. We only saw one Buffalo all day, but we saw quite a few elk. The bulls were huge and one even bugled for us. Kelty was a really pleasant passenger and overall we had a really fun day. While we were in the park Matt stayed at the cabin to go fishing. He caught a huge one. It ways like 4 pounds and was like 20 inches or something like that. He was sooo excited and I am really proud of him.

Each night at the cabin we got in the Hot Tub with Tucker. That kid is so funny, I can't get enough of him. One time he came and gave Kelty a kiss and said he was her big brother / cousin. So cute. Kelty loves her cousins.  Saturday night, Alexis, Nannie, and I made watch bands with our beads. So now we all have really cute watches. We really missed Shay so Alexis and I each made her a watch band.
