Better late than never.

So I know Bria is almost 5 months old but friend that took these pictures moved a week later. So it took a while for me to get them and upload them. It was hard to just pick a few to put on here since they all turned out so good. Hope you enjoy.

A conversation with Jordan

Me: Jordan please finish your breakfast

Jordan: I eat it all I can have Ice cream?

Me:No you may not have Ice cream this early in the morning.

Jordan: Oh ok

10 minutes latter....

Jordan: Mom I finished my cereal... time for Ice cream!

Me: No Jordan you aren't having Ice cream

Jordan: I want something else to eat I still hungry.... how about something from in here... (opening the freezer)

Me:  Jordan get out of the freezer.

Jordan: But mommy I still hungry I need Ice cream.

Me: (getting a little frustrated) Jordan I already told you no  don't ask again.

Jordan (whining and fake crying): Mommy (running down the hall and shutting the door)

Giving her a few minuted to calm down I head down the hall to talk to her.

Me: Jordan, (looking in her room) where are you?

Jordan: I in your room

Me: please come out so we can talk.

Jordan: No

Me: why not

Jordan: cuz I not love you any more

A little Shocked I go into my room (trying not to laugh)

Me:Jordan did you say you don't love me any more?

Jordan: Yes cuz I want Ice cream and you say no. 

I explained to her why she didn't need Ice cream and that it isn't nice to tell mommy that you don't love her. 

Me: Jordan I will always love you no matter what.

Jordan:  Mom you want me to put woeshin (lotion) on you feet?

Me:  No thank you I need a shower 1st.

Jordan: But mommy I love you.

How come she is so sweet?

It's Offical

So  I hate to admit it but I wasn't sure I wanted this day to come.  But it has and I am starting to enjoy it.  What is this terrible thing I was dreading you ask?  Soccer!  That's right I am a "Soccer Mom".   I know it isn't that bad, so far...   Luckily Cohen and Kaelyn are on the same team "The Saints".  They are both enjoying it a lot.  They had their 1st game on the Saturday Jan 7th.  The Saints vs The Dust Devils 
 We Won!  Saints 3 Dust Devils 2.  We are so proud of our team.  

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving Lance's brother Mike and his family came to visit for a little over a week. We all enjoyed visiting and getting to know each other better.

All the Kerestes Grandkids

Played Football in the Street



Drove Go Karts

 Rode Bumper Boats (and got wet)

Played Miniature Golf

All in all we had a blast and can't waite to get togather again soon.

Missing Teeth

The Tooth Fairy has been very busy at The Kerestes Korner.  Kaelyn has lost 4 teeth so far with a few more on the verge of coming out.  Cohen keeps checking his teeth to see if any are loose.  No such luck.  Jordan keeps telling everyone she talks to on the phone that  Kaelyn teeth fell out.  Kaelyn's 1st grade class sang "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth"  it was quite fitting beings most of them were missing more than a few teeth.  Kaelyn is also using all the tooth fairy money on Christmas presents for others.  She is such a thoughtful little girl.

She's Here!!!!!!

That's Right!  Bria Amelia Kerestes was born October 22 2011.  She weighed 8lbs 3oz, 20 1/2 inches long, and has strawberry blond hair.  Carolyn was able to avoid a C-section altogether this time.  Mom and baby are doing well and recovering nicely.  Bria and Carolyn arrived home late Sunday night and are enjoying being home.  Kaelyn is a great help, in the hospital she didn't want to go home because that meant she had to stop rocking Bria and give her back to mommy.  Cohen enjoyed holding her as well but he felt most comfortable behind the camera taking pictures.  Jordan on the other had just wanted to kiss Bria and hold her.  Any time Carolyn gets up to do something Jordan puts out her hands and offers to hold her.  Carolyn had to put the bouncy seat on the dinning room table so Bria can get some sleep without getting touched constantly.  All in things are going well so far. 

I would like to thank all of you who kept us in your prayers and gave us so much encouragement during the pregnancy.  It really meant a lot to us.   

Prince Eric and Princess Charlene

As many of you know I am from a large family (8 kids 5 girls and 3 boys).  I am the 2nd child and have had the pleasure of watching the majority of them grow up.  There has been many experiences such as HS graduations, baby blessings, Baptisms and weddings to say the least.  In mid August I got a call from my youngest sister Charlene who is in  her 1st year of collage.  Charlene informed me that her and Eric have decided to get married Sept. 9th 2011.  I was shocked and excited all at once.  Being 32 weeks pregnant I wasn't sure if I would be able attend but I really wanted to!  I talked to Lance and my OB and was given the ok to go.  Lance and I decided that it would be best if I went ALONE!!! without Lance and the kids.  I made all the necessary plans for Lance and the kids and I was on my way (by plane).  I arrived on the Sept.6th and stayed for a week.  It was a wonderful trip. 

The wedding was beautiful and I love my new Brother-in-law Eric.  It was fun getting to know him.  I was able to take a few (ok a lot) pictures but I will not bore you with all of them.  So here is a sample:

A few of the grandkids!
