Kati's new room

On the 27th, we decided to remodel Kati's room. She had gotten new (to her) bedroom furniture from a friend of ours. We decided before we moved it in, we should finally paint one of her walls. Below is the result.....

Taking over...

Harley is such a part of our family - he has now taken his place at the table...

Hmm...those wings and pizza sure look good. Too bad they forgot to set my plate....

Mommmm....Tayler isn't sharing.....

Ok...I'm coming over to get my own.

And now it's time to play....

On the 27th, we took the girls (and Harley) down to the park to try out their new RC toys. Kaylin had fun trying to keep her truck out of the water. Tayler had fun chasing Harley with hers. Kati and Bryan concentrated on the boat and the water - it was by far the most fun to watch. Here are some random shots....

Christmas with the Kleins....

On the 26th, we went to Rockwall to have Christmas with Bryan's mom, brother Chris and his family. Chris and his wife Liz had their first baby on the 19th. She was 7 lbs. 13 ozs. and 20 inches long.

Introducing...Loralye Elizabeth Klein....

I made it just in time for Christmas - a girl can't pass up gifts.

Ok Aunt Phyllis, do you want to know what they are doing to me? Can't a girl just sleep?

That's more like it.

Meanwhile....Christmas went on....

Yes, you are seeing correctly, that is the wing of an airplane. Chris remembered that Bryan has always wanted one - to make into a coffee table - so he was kind enough to oblige his brother. I was kind enough to remind Chris that paybacks are a bitch.

Here is Tayler's new toy from Uncle Chris and Aunt Liz

And Kaylin's.... (Kati got an RC Boat...somehow we didn't get a picture of it that day)


Loralye was overjoyed by all the gift giving....

What a proud uncle Bryan!! He even dressed to match Loralye.

And then we can paint our nails, and I'll show you how to brush your hair...

What do you mean I'm not the baby anymore??

Nana and Opa's 4 girls...those Klein boys sure are in trouble!!

Here is Loralye's proud mom Liz (I'm so jealous that she can look this radiant and beautiful 1 week after giving birth...it's just not fair).

Merry Christmas!

Are all these for me??

Nope, they're for us!!!

Merry Christmas from Tayler, Kaylin, Kati, and Harley!

Christmas with the family

We had Christmas at my parents house on Saturday the 23rd. It was a lot of fun, and very crowded!! Below are some memories....

Harley got a new bed

Check out how much he enjoys it....

Oops - looks like Marmalade has taken it over

Maybe if I lay my bone by the bed - she will realize it's mine and get up and leave. I'm sure she just doesn't know it's mine....

Ok, I tried the bone - and my favorite frisbee. Maybe when she wakes up she will see them and move off of my new bed....

Would someone please tell that annoying gray bouncy thing that this bed belongs to me. He can put all of the bones and toys he wants around me - and they'll just become mine too. Now, if you don't mind, I would like to go back to my nap now.

But mom....you said it was my bed

Sisters

Here is my latest project. This is something I've wanted to create for awhile now, but just now have had the cooperation to do so.
