She's here!

Audrey is almost 8 weeks old and I am finally getting around to blogging about her birth. Thank goodness for facebook...haha

Audrey was born December 19, 2010 at 8:16pm at Baylor Medical Center in Frisco. She weighed 6.6lbs and was 18 inches long. She had and still has a head full of hair. When she is in the sunlight you can see shades of blonde and red...I think we might have a future strawberry blonde on our hands. She still has blue eyes and they look just like my papa's eyes. I hope her they stay blue. Most people say she looks just like her daddy... Kyle's grandma says babies look like their dads when they are first born, so that the dad's know that the baby is his. Haha

From the moment she was born she has been so alert, just looking around and soaking in her new world. She is such an amazing baby and we have been truly blessed with her.

ok for some reason this site isnt letting me post pictures, so I will post some later

Its Time

Its time to start blogging again..... I am going to try to get started tonight with Audrey's birth and get all caught up so I can try to blog at least once a week. I dont know where all of my days go........oh wait I am holding my sweet little angel most of the day :)

Update

Its getting closer and closer to the day of our little girls arrival and I am so excited!

Her room is basically ready and we just have a few more things to purchase....its wild to think I will be bringing miss Audrey Faye home in just a few weeks :)

Speaking of home.......did you know we moved! Kyle got a job promotion to the HealthSouth in Plano and we purchased a Home in McKinney. I hope to take some pics and post soon. I really like the area we are in.....15 minutes to the Allen Outlet Mall and 10 minutes to Stonebriar Mall....woo hoo, some good shopping.

I was hoping to post some maternity picturs and pictures of Audrey's nursery, but my computer down, so I am using Kyles computer.

I hope to post again soon :)

Big News at the Toby House!!

Hello all my blogger friends!

Kyle and I have some very exciting news!! We are having a baby GIRL!!! As I am sure most of you know from my facebook status but with school finally winding down and BABY news I figured it was definitely time to start blogging again.

I am 18 weeks as of yesterday and we are due with our baby girl Audrey Faye Toby on December 25, 2010. (I foresee meltdowns about her birthday/Christmas in the future).

I have had a great pregnancy so far except for about 4-6 weeks of nausea in the beginning. Oh and thank you hormones for the facial impairments otherwise known as acne.

I don't have any prego pictures of me uploaded, but here are a few pictures of Audrey, we had a 3D sonogram done and you can see so many of her features...We think she has my nose and Kyle's lips... haha

Updates

Hello to all of my long lost blogger friends! I have been a very bad blogger and will probably continue to be for a while.

There have been quite a few changes in the Toby house...

1. I am not longer working for Lewis Operating (boo I miss them), I am now working for Helen Farabee as a Child/Adolescent case manager....nothing like getting experience for your degree. I am really liking it and all of the people I work with!

2. I do have really cute Halloween pictures of the dogs in their costumes, but I havent uploaded pictures yet....so just imagine Lexi as a ladybug and Lily as a bumble bee....soooo cute.

3. With my new job, I never get to talk to my friends anymore and I really miss them!!

4. Kyle re-tiled our bathroom and did a really good job (again pics have not been uploaded)

5. I have finally been approved to start my research (which I should really be doing right now)...so hopefully I will be a better blogger when school is out.

6. Kyle and I are getting hard wood floors put in our living room and office (thanks to Lexi for tearing up the carpet) but it will look good and we are really excited.

Sorry for the short non pictured updates....wish me luck with research....I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel...

Love to you all!

FallsFest and Lily's new dress

Hello to all!! I know its been a while, but its been a busy week or two. Lets see, what have we been doing. I have been really busy at work and when I am not working at work, I am working on my research paper or FallsFest!

That's right! FallsFest is THIS weekend! Everyone come out Friday and Saturday. We have great food, games, music and fun for all. Friday 5-11 and Brazos Stone and Ely Young will be playing and Saturday 11-11, that night Miyagi and 38 Special will be on the stage. Tickets are $6 in advance, $8 at the gate, $10 after 7 and there are 2 day arm bands this year for $10.

If you cant tell I am the publicist this year.

School is moving right along, hopefully I will get to start actually doing research in late Oct or Nov. My Goal is to be finished and ready to do my oral exam by January. Graduation is right around the corner and once I get past research, I will finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Lily and Lexie are still as cute as ever! Lexie has been a stinker though and has torn up our carpet in 2 different areas, so now we have to have 3 rooms replace....booo....bad dog!!

Lily is my fat girl now 7 1/2 lbs, so much for a small yorkie. OH well...

We were at Target last week, and Kyle knows how I love to put Lily in dresses. He wont admit it but he actually picked one out for her. (picture below)

When we got home, I put it on her and I immediately said "ah Kyle, look at her, does it make her butt look big?" I thought he was never going to quit laughing. Sometimes the random blonde thoughts in my head, actually sneak out and they are usually a good laugh....haha.

Lexie even has a ballarina skirt!

How 'bout them Cowboys

I just want to note that I have been a good blogger today...2 in one day...be proud Kate...be very proud :)

Among with my birthday celebrations this past weekend, we went to the Cowboy Game. Kyle kept telling people it was my bday present, but I started to correct him and tell people it was his early birthday present...hehe

The Stadium was amazing. It looked very futuristic, almost like a space ship from the outside. This place was huge!!! Josh Helmcamp was so excited to go to the game and tail gate, that we were the 4th car in the parking lot at 2pm for tail gating....btw the game started at 7 pm.

But we had a blast!

A night time picture of the stadium

You gotta love the guys in uniform...especially a Cowboys Uniform

Look how big the screen is

Josh talking to the concession lady

Look at all those people!

It had been a long day of tail gating
