Merry Christmas from the Fiedlers...

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas...

Travis turns 2!!!

I cannot believe my sweet boy is 2 already!!! It seriously seems like just yesterday we were waiting and waiting for him to make his debut. Travis is every bit as entertaining as Kaylie was at 2.
Some of my most favorite thoughts on the T Man:
* He LOVES his sisters... anytime I pick him up from school, he immediately starts asking where Kay Kay? Emy? Kay Kay here? Kay Kay byebye? And when we pick her up, he starts yelling HIIII KAY KAY!!!
* He still sleeps with his babies- and yes, thats plural. He has several Angel soft dolls and he rubs them to go to sleep. He has a tiger, an elephant, a lion, a monkey and an owl.
* We have an evening routine- Daddy gives him a bath and then Mommy takes him up to read and sing to him. We sing You are my sunshine, goodnight sweetheart, twinkle twinkle- and we say our prayers. He now knows most of the Lords Prayer and loves when I start saying it and stop so he can finish the sentence.
* He still goes to bed SOOOO EARLY!!! We can push him to 6:30 but if he is up past 7, all bets are off as to how he will behave!
*He is a HUGE Daddy's boy. He will be totally snuggly with me until he sees Steven and then forget it- he's all about Daddy.
* He loves watching ESPN. I could put on ESPN and he will watch the games as long as we let him. Forget cartoons- its all about sports.
* He also loves to watch Animal Planet and anything about animals!!!
* He loves his friends at school- apparently, he likes to rough-house which includes tackling, pushing and falling over on his friends.
* He has a little girl in his class- her name is Kathryn- and everyday, she runs to his cubby and gets his jacket/backpack to hand to Travis for him to leave. She gives him a hug and then hugs me... it is so sweet. And Travis giggles EVERYTIME!!!

Oh Travis- I could go on for days. You are so sweet- and I thank God everyday for blessing me with you. Can't wait to see whats in store for you!

Halloween 2011

Halloween was so much fun this year. Kaylie of course really enjoyed it and Travis LOVED going door to door- asking treatotreeeeet.... it was so funny. It took us about 10 min to walk from one house to the other! Kaylie was a flapper, mainly because she wanted to wear a hot pink wig- and Travis was a boxer! He wouldn't put on the costume at first- but I literally held him down to put it on him and once he saw himself in the mirror with his muscles, he was all about it!
My dad came over and walked around with us- he's done that since Kaylie was 2! We really enjoyed it!

My Mom's Surprise 60th Birthday Bash

My brothers and I decided to throw my mom a surprise birthday bash for her 60th birthday. We invited my grandmother, aunt, cousins, and all of our families. My mom was beyond happy- I dont think I've seen her that happy in a very long time. It meant so much to her that we did that for her- it was a wonderful day at my older brother Rusty's house!

Maui, Fiedler-style

Steven and I surprised the girls at Christmas with a trip to Hawaii. It has to be one of the most wonderful trips I've ever been on. The only regret? Not having Travis with us. The girls got to surf, cliff jump, see beautiful landscapes and scenery, go to a luau, boogie board, eat-eat-eat... it was one of the most relaxing trips we've ever taken.
We said we would go back for our 10 year anniversary as a family trip!

Anyone out there? I promise, I promise...

Ok- its been like a lifetime since I last posted. I don't even know if anyone checks this anymore! BUT- here goes alot of updating :)
