Merry Christmas!!

I didn't get actual cards sent out..so don't feel left out! Sorry my lack of managing time meant no Christmas cards from the Shepherds this year.

We hope Everyone has a Wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

We love you all!!!

Its Christmas Time!!

We were all sick..but we still decorated the house! I love this time of year! Christmas is the time for Family, Friends and Our Savior.

Mom got creative and made up a christmas craft for Kyson to put together all on his own. I was feeling horrible so we couldn't leave the house. Little did I know that poor Ky would be getting sick days later, as well as Kurtis. We didn't leave the house for quite sometime.

He sure enjoyed himself. He is such a big boy. Loves doing things all by himself!

Nearing the end of the middle

26 Weeks...well when this picture was taken. I'm now almost 28 weeks.

My Second Trimester has almost come to a close!! We still have no name for our little girl. We have the paint bought and hopefully will start her room this weekend. :0)
Here are some of the names...

Kwynn Rose Shepherd

Kaylen Rose Shepherd

Kenna Rose Shepherd

Kaylor Rose Shepherd

I am pretty much determined to keep Rose. Kurtis said it and it made me think of my Great Grandma. I love her so much and miss the times I shared with her.

Happy Halloween

Yep I'm this behind...

Our Ninja Turtle!!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Birthday To Me!

This year for my birthday I got the big gift of paint and decoration of my Master Bedroom!! All my sister in laws, Mom and sisters came to help. Kyson chipped in a bit. I can't tell you how much I LOVE IT!! It just makes me smile everytime I walk in my room. I absolutely love everything about it. Thank you girls!!!

Our Handy Little Helper!!

Cute Boutique

Come and check out my friends and their cute stuff!!

Here is their site and what they will have there. Plus when the show is!

It's A. . .

We couldn't be more excited!! Even if it were a boy we would be so happy!!

We are definately in shock! Not expecting a girl since Kurtis had two dreams that it was a boy.
I guess that means we have a third baby waiting for us in Heaven.

5 Years of Married Bliss

This is us now.

And this is us 5 years ago.....

I am still absolutely head over heals.

I still get those butterflies.

I can't imagine loving Kurtis more.

Happy Five Years Babe!! We still have Eternity to go!!!

Day Two!!

Yesterday was Day One!! I didn't get any pictures because he was always going by himself and not telling me he was going. He did have one accident but quickly realized he was peeing and ran to the potty to finish up.

Today is Day Two!! and he decided he wanted to wear his Big Boy Underwear...We had one incident where he went to the potty with his underwear still on so I had to tell him he had to take them off. The next time he told me he needed to go and so I finally got some pictures!!

He was ready! After reading books and watching Elmo's Potty Time he finally got it!

We talked about it alot and finally Monday we ran out of diapers. He definately searched the house for diapers..but he did it! He got 7 stickers yesterday!

And today..first thing he did was go Poo Poo on the Potty!!

He wears Pull Ups to bed..we are no where near close to that but I LOVE not having to change him all throughout the day. We will see how he does in public someday soon.

But as for right now...He is doing GREAT and I couldn't be more Proud!!

Happy Birthday!!

No this wasn't my cake..but I liked it so I thought I would post it.

Yep, it was my birthday I am now

25 and can legally RENT a Car!!

I suppose the next birthday to look forward to, or to some fear would be 30. I don't feel old enough to be 25. I still feel like I just turned 21!

And I still can't believe that I will soon be a Mother of 2!!

My wonderful mommy made me Texas Sheet Cake and my favorite meal...
Baby Back Ribs!! I sure my fabulous dad helped. :0)
Its a tradition. Every Oct 1st..Ribs!! She never has to ask but continues to year after year.
One day I think she thinks I will change my mind but her ribs are just so darn good!!


They did put 25 candles on, but I didn't get it in one breath.

I don't know why my expression is that way..I think one of my nieces was telling me that I had 2-3 boyfriends because it took me that many blows. ha ha Thats what I tell them!

Thanks to EVERYONE who celebrated with me and wished me a Happy One!!

It was definately a Great Birthday!!

16 Weeks!!

And FINALLY!! NO MORE

Finland Baby!!

Our Finland Vacation in a nutshell...I didn't take very many pictures because the other girls were snapping away!! But you get the idea.

Thanks Mom and Dad for a Wonderful vacation!! I am just so happy that I was able to go even though I have been so sick with this pregnancy. Baby behaved and we got our miracle!!

Baby Shep #2

Not feeling much...but the belly is a comin!!
I am actually 15 weeks now..but I haven't taken another picture yet.

Big Boy Room

He did great! No trouble at all. This was his first time napping in his bed. He loves the freedom I think. We now read to him before nap and bedtime and lay with him for a tiny bit then he goes to bed. He wasn't climbing out of his crib or anything but it was time to move him over. He had done it once and I was nervous he'd get hurt. Plus...
