Dancing feet and smiles so sweet!

It has been quite a while since I have posted video of Garrett. The main reason for this delay is my toddler's relentless need to stop and look at the camera every time it's pulled to capture a "timeless moment". Finally, we've figured a way to curb his curiosity, by using our iPod, which is taking him longer to catch on. Here are two videos from Christmas of Garrett dancing to the "Hot Dog" song from Mickey Mouse, his favorite show. He can recite Mickey's intro every time and he loves to dance to the finale song "Hot Dog". Now you can see proof of his terrible haircut that I have told so many people about. An event that Brandon and I are still scarred from. Enjoy!

Christmas Memories 2009

Its hard to believe Christmas is already a memory but here we are starting a year new already! WOW! I wanted to share our pictures from Christmas 2009. We had a wonderful, very relaxing vacation. We took three days and just spent time as a family at home watching Christmas movies and making cookies. On Tuesday we headed down to Evansville to spend time with family and friends. We were able to see several friends from high school during the holiday as well! The time spent with family was a treat. Most of all we felt that we had time to breathe in the joy of a child and celebrate the gift of Jesus Christ!


My best friend from junior high, Jenna Tieman and her children Isaac (3) and Isabelle (8 mos). We had a brunch, play date and had time to catch up. We have not seen eachother in over 5 years!


Isaac and Garrett playing guitars


My moms house was decorated beautifully, it felt like we were in a magazine. It definitely got you into the spirit!


On the 23rd, we went to the Fantasy of Lights in Eville. Garrett and his cousins had so much fun driving around looking at lights and singing carols!






Nothing like the spirit of a child at Christmas!


On Christmas Eve, we went bowling with the Stephens' clan!

Christmas Time is Here!

Merry Chrsitmas! The Kline family has been enjoying many holiday festivities this month. It started off with a visit from my sister and her family of six! We had such a great time watching movies and eating great food. We made a trip to Hollydays at the Children's Museum. Garrett enjoyed the snow slide, Frosty the Snowman presentation, and playing in the water tunnels. We were also able to go to Disney on Ice with Miss Jaime and his friends at Kids Korner. I was able to take the day off and join in the fun. Garrett was awe the entire show and would wave "hi" to each character. I am not sure who enjoyed it more Garrett or myself! Friday was Garrett's Christmas party at Kids Korner. Garrett has not been a big fan of Santa this year unfortunately. In all actuality he does not really understand this whole Christmas-thing yet. However the time as a family has been wonderful. This week Brandon and I are both off from work and we spent the weekend home watching the snow fall, watching Christmas movies and baking cookies. We are now in Newburgh for the holidays and looking foward to more time with friends and family. May this find you and your family full of God's joy and peace. Happy Birthday to Jesus!

What we're thankful for...

We had a wonderful yet busy Thanksgiving holiday in Evansville. We were able to see both sides of our family, friends and 150 members of my high school class at my 10 year class reunion. If I had to sum it up in one word though it would be "babies". We were blessed to hear of several upcoming births this spring! We are now able to announce that Brandon's oldest sister Dawn and her husband Harry are expecting their first child in April. We are excited about our new nephew and our growing family. Also our great friends, Jen and Kris that live in Ohio will be having their first in May as well as a good high school friend of mine, Stacey will be having her first in July!! We are joyfully welcoming in the Christmas season and spirit in the Kline household. The tree is up, great music is playing, and presents are being wrapped. But most of all we are so blessed with health, happiness and great family/friends! Below are pictures that our great and talented friend, Amanda took a month ago at my Alma mater, Butler University! Enjoy and God Bless this holiday season. Let us not forget the real reason for the season, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!
