Things are good here at the Streator house!!! Kinley understand who Santa is and what he does. When you ask her what she wants him to bring her she gives a different response everytime. The best was "Ummm... Dinner!", we also got "Cooks", baby siter", yes siter not sister. and the most common "Presents!"

My mom start a new tradition this year we had a ginger bread house decorating contest. It was really fun. We split into couples and went to it. Then a Good friend of the families came over to Judge. Kevin and Kari won. The winning part was the payday Chimney, which was all my idea. Jared had made one with candy bricks for our house so i didn't want to use the pre-done one. Next year i'm not sharing any ideas. It's on like Donkey Kong!!! Their house was pertty cool, they all were.

Jared and Mine

We also got a dog, not something we had planned on doing for another couple years but it just worked out. She really cute sweet and Kinley really likes her. We named her Izzy, she's some kind of yorkie poodle we think, but no curl at all.

And last I'm starting to feel better!!! I had Dr appointment yesterday Kinley and I got to see the baby again she thought that was "cool." We tried to see what it was but the cord was between the legs so me get to wait five more weeks, Jan 28th.

Lot's to update!!!

Thanksgiving was fun. Michelle came home for a week and we got to spend some time with her which was really nice. Kinley was so excited to see her, Michelle didn't even have to ask for a hug. Poor Michelle was the only one that Kinley wanted when she was around so she got lots of Kinley time. My dad's parents came in from LA and stayed for a few day, It was nice to see them and spend time with his side of the family(my aunt and cousin also came for dinner), we only see them once a year at best.


Kinley liked cooking her own food too.


Notice anyone missing from this picture? She's off helping cook the real food at this point.



Kinley's Birthday was lots of fun. She just loved opening presents and getting to have new things to play with. I was surprised to see that she know what to do with them, she just tore into that paper and through it to the side. We have such wonderful families, she got totally spoiled.


She did not want to blow out the second Candle







I thought we had a two year old not a teenager!

A couple months back we mentioned that we were working on a few projects and one is far enough to share... We're having another BABY. Everything is going great the Dr. said we're past the scary part. My issues in the past haven't been a problem this time so that 's really great. I've been supper sick which they keep telling me is a good thing. This bundle of joy will here mid to end of June so we should have a fun summer. Kinley is really excited. I'm not sure she totally gets it but she asks me every day were the baby's at and if its happy. She likes to kiss and pat my belly, and when I get sick she wants to know if the baby's sick too. When we ask her about the baby she gets really excited, and happy but if you ask about her brother or sister she doesn't understand.
