Last weekend we went to Kearney for Christmas on Jeff's side. We usually wait until after Christmas but this year is was way after christmas. Nikki got to meet 3 cousins and an aunt & uncle. We always have lots of fun there. Nikki got to go swimming for the first time, I think she is going to be like me and Matthew. We hate cold water and prefer the hot tub!

Nikki wasn't too fond of the floatie.

This girl is never still, it is almost impossible to get a picture that isn't blurry!

Within the last year my grandma Eileen got 4 new great grand-daughters. Here are three of them: From left to right: My cousin Krisi and her daughter Mazie (3 months), Me & Nikki(17 months), My youngest sister Holly and her daughter Nora(10 months).

The only one missing is Krisi's sister Shannon & her daughter Kavita(11 months?).

Nikki & Tory. I call Tori "my first baby". I took care of her when she was 6 weeks old while I worked at a daycare in college. She spent a lot of time with me over the years. She is almost 16 now.

So Sweet!

NIKKI HAS BEEN OURS FOR 8 WEEKS !



Nikki is such a blessing! She is a cute, sweet, loveable little thing. She is so smart & is a very easy baby. The only challenge is sleeping and that is getting better, last night she only got up once. I think daylight savings time helped a lot. She was getting up so early no matter what time she went to bed. Daylight savings time fixed that.



She is walking all over, she falls quite a bit too. She gives kisses, high five's, & seems to understand what we are saying to her. She loves to dance and listen to music too. She is adorable when she shakes her little tushie.
