Yes, it's that time again...time to post some new photos.

HOLY COW...IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME...

2009-09-19T17:52:00.000-07:00

Sorry again!! This seems to be a trend of mine blogging about once a month or so. Well anyway. Kids and I just got back from 9 days in Illinois. That was a nice visit with family. Now getting them back to the real life of waking up early and trying to get them to bed at a decent hour.

Kaitlyn well everyday is something new...very outspoken. Which I like....sometimes...ha ha. She definitely lets you know what is on her mind. The other day she started using her Spanish skills on me. Maybe too much Dora but I guess it could be worse. I gave her some cookies and I got "yacias" mommy. I said it's "gracias" baby and she said yes mommy "yacias." LOL!!! Then I was asking her a question and asked her to listen to me and apparently Kai Lan has made an impression as well because I got the reply of "Ting Ting" with her little hands pulled up to her ears as if she was listening to me. So we certainly have to watch was we say because if we think she is not listening well she saves it for later and pulls it out at the most awkward times.

Lucas is Mr. Laidback!! He just goes with the flow. Whatever we have going on it's ok with him. He smiles constantly and just very low maintenance. He is quite a hoot. He is starting to sit up by himself and hasn't quite got the going forward thing on crawling but he lunges and plops. Now scooting backwards and in circles that is great. It's only a matter of time.

Well I will try to get some pictures posted soon.

What's going on today....

2009-08-08T12:23:00.000-07:00

Right now...Saturday August 8th at 3:24 p.m., both kids are sleeping.....shhhhhh. Can you believe it I have mastered the art of getting them both to nap at the same time. Well it happens once in a blue moon anyway.

Brandon is on a poker run today with about 8 of his buddies. This will be poker run #3 or 4 I think.... Well anyway I am finding that they are very interesting poker runs here in Georgia, they seem to have stops such as churches, Dairy Queen, a hospital...we are wondering of the next one will be a funeral home. These are not the same kind of poker runs we had in Illinois where they would start at a bar & the next 3 stops would either be a bar or a cycle shop. But they have a good time none the less and get to meet some very very interesting folks.

I've not been up to too much really just working and being a mom. Kaitlyn is changing everyday. It is so crazy. She really talks alot and has a 1 track mind. You really have to pay close attention so you can know when she shifts gears and just what she is talking about. She loves Dora. I think she is starting to dream about Dora and her adventures because she woke up the other day and told me that she had to ride on the horse with Boots to go save Dora's brother and sister from the Gooey Geyser. She is quite a hoot!!

Lucas is growing like a weed. Rolling over very well and scooting himself across the floor and around in circles. He has not mastered the art of putting both knees and hands on the floor at the same time. He either scoots on his head or pulls himself with his hands. But it won't be long and he will on the move.

Well gonna go get some things dones while both kiddos are sleeping!! Or maybe just close my eyes too!!!

Sorry been so long.......

2009-08-08T12:14:00.000-07:00

Sorry folks I know it's been awhile!! No excuses really just not taken the time to post. Well I have some new photos to show ya'll. Hope you enjoy them.

For those of you who know us well you know that the best friend we had in the world was our dog Blaise. On April 25th she passed away due to complications from cancer. She was the best dog ever for many reasons and I had the privilege to be with her everyday for the last 7 years. She will truly be missed around our house and by those who had the chance to know her. Love ya and RIP!!

Last 6 weeks with baby Lucas

2009-04-09T07:22:00.000-07:00

Sorry it has been so long since our last posting. I guess I am not very good at this or I am just trying to get some sleep when I can. It has been quite a ride these last 6 weeks. Lots of changes and lots of excitement. Here are some updated photos of the last 6 weeks at home. Please enjoy.....

Update on Baby Boy Bach's arrival

2009-02-18T12:55:00.000-08:00

Well we went to the doctor this week on Tuesday the 17th and they did a sonogram to assess his weight and discuss the alternatives to inducing and such. They have us on the schedule for inducing on the 27th of February, next Friday. This is only if after our doctor visit on the 25th of February, next Wednesday that things are progressing. If there is no change we will discuss holding out and inducing on the 4th of March. Unless of course we go naturally between now and then. So that is all we have at this point just taking it week by week. He is growing so big which in turn of course means I am growing so big....stay tuned for more updates!!

Our Crazy Little Duckie!!

2008-11-07T11:12:00.000-08:00

Kaitlyn is so good at quacking like a duck and it is so cute that we decided she would be a duck for Halloween. Oh my goodness...they had a party at her school so we visited during trick or treating and this is how it went. One thing I want to explain is when all the kids get dressed up they are NUTS!! Those people don't get paid enough to contain 8-1.5 year olds during Halloween dress up.....

Baby Boy!!!

2008-10-17T21:33:00.000-07:00

Here are 20 week pictures from our little man.

Kaitlyn in piggy tails

2008-09-27T07:59:00.000-07:00

At school sometimes her teacher Mrs. Wanda will have beauty shop time with the girls and she will do their hair. On this day Kaitlyn wants TWO piggies instead of ONE Mrs. Wanda said so she got the one in and then #2 was alittle harder for her to sit still for...so...we are little bit lop sided

Kaitlyn's taste in crayons

2008-09-27T07:52:00.000-07:00

Well folks we tried to play art time with Kaitlyn and we found out that we should do a better job at watching her...we also found out that crayons come out the same color as they go in......yes, Kaitlyn ate a piece of her crayon....and it went in blue and came out blue!!!!

Kaitlyn's new song

2008-08-28T10:47:00.000-07:00

Kaitlyn shares toys with EVERYONE

2008-08-28T10:00:00.000-07:00

Kaitlyn has learned to share toys with EVERYONE!! Sometimes the dogs just comply to quit hearing her cry. What a nice little sweetie we have!! She will sit on the floor next to Buster or Blaise (Blaise lucked in this one) and just play and share her toys with them...even if they just want to sleep she makes sure they get their share.

Newest Addition

2008-08-01T09:11:00.000-07:00

Some of you may already know but there is going to be a new addition to the Bach family household come around March 2009. Yes, that is right we are pregnant. Kaitlyn is going to be a big sister. We went to the doctor yesterday and all looks good for mommy and baby. Won't know until around 20 weeks what we will be blessed with so hang tight. We are about 9 weeks now (look at our cute little bean in there).

I would just like to say thank you to all who came to my party while we were back in Kewanee when mommy had training. I appreciate everyone taking time to come to Happy Joes to see me and watch me tear into my cake. I made a mess and it was so much fun. Thank you all for all the great presents and thank you grandma for sending what wouldn't fit in mommy's suitcase. I love you all and miss you all very much!! Here is a picture of me starting to tear into my cake. Mommy is going to try to add the video but it is kinda long so she doesn't know if it will download.

Hello from Georgia

2008-04-16T16:42:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone. Just wanted to let you know we are settling in slowly but surely. Kaitlyn is doing well at daycare. She likes her new friends and her new teachers Ms. Audrey and Ms. Heidi. She can't move to the next room until she is completely on table food AND no bottle. The table food thing hasn't been a problem at all. She loves to eat and try everything. I will get some pictures on soon. Right now she is sleeping so I just wanted to get a note written before she wakes. Talk to y'all soon!!

In process of moving

2008-03-26T07:35:00.000-07:00

We won't be posting anything for a little while until we get settled in. We will talk to you soon. Now off to our next adventure in Georgia or also known as Georiga...for those of you at our March 8th going away party. Brandon leaves tomorrow and Kaitlyn and I leave next Thursday.

Here are the 2 loves of my life!!

Biggy Girl

2007-12-07T20:20:00.000-08:00

Here is our biggy girl in her camo...I bet you can barely see her!

Crawling even faster

2007-12-07T16:09:00.001-08:00

Well folks she has up'd her speed. She definitely has the crawling thing down.

Crawling Lil' Sweetie

2007-11-26T16:13:00.000-08:00

Kaitlyn's first try at crawling...our little angel is getting so big.

Kaitlyn after a long night

2007-11-26T16:10:00.000-08:00

This is what Kaitlyn looked like when she woke up on her 1st Thanksgiving morning. Check out that hair....rocker chick!!

Kaitlyn showing off her teeth

2007-11-26T15:54:00.000-08:00

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I have a few things to post. Here is our Lil' Sweetie giving you a big smile and showing off her bottom teeth.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

2007-11-20T18:03:00.000-08:00

It is absolutely amazing to me how much love one can have for another. With the holidays approaching I am just sitting here thinking of all the things I am thankful for. I feel like I am the luckiest person ever. I am so thankful to have a wonderful husband and healthy adorable daughter. We are lucky to have loving family and friends and a wonderful place to call home.

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. If you are going to be traveling, please travel safe.

Kaitlyn's Doctor Visit

2007-11-12T17:18:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone. Kaitlyn had her 6 month doctor visit today. Here are her stats: 17 lbs 10 oz & 26.5 inches tall. She is in the 75-80%.

Messy Messy Baby

2007-11-11T19:50:00.000-08:00

We started cereal a couple of weeks ago but last week we started veggies and fruit. So far squash, green beans and bananas. So far she likes them all. Well maybe like is stretching it when it came to the green beans....she will at least eat them. Here is a picture of our first attempt at squash. She likes to use her 1 tooth and bite down on the spoon before we put the spoon in her mouth. It gets a bit messy as you can see but she does pretty good.

Our Lil' Sweetie is 6 months old

2007-11-04T18:24:00.000-08:00

Can you even believe it? Our little sweetie turned 6 months old yesterday. Here are a couple of pictures I took of her in one of her Denver Broncos outfits. She helps daddy root on the Broncos every week. She is a pretty good cheerleader. As you can see in one of her pictures she is giving her mommy the business. Needless to say she was done with the pictures and I wanted to take a few more.

Kaitlyn has a tooth!!

2007-11-01T07:02:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that our Lil' Sweetie has her first tooth. It has broke through on the bottom but not completely up. We can see the top of it and she definitely like to show us how it feels. She was 'attacking' her daddy last night as we were waiting for our trick-or-treaters to come. Everytime Brandon would say something to her she would say 'argh' and try to get ahold of his fingers in her mouth. It was funny. It didn't matter what he said to her and she would keep 'attacking' him.

Kaitlyn the Kitty Cat

2007-10-31T10:00:00.001-07:00

Look at this precious lil' kitty!! How cute is Kaitlyn in her kitty cat costume. We went to Grandma's work last night at the Farmington Nursing Home for a Halloween Party and this lil' kitty stole the show. She was such a good girl and played along well with us dressing her up.

Cuss Jar

2007-10-30T20:55:00.001-07:00

As you can imagine this has nothing to do with us other than Brandon thinks this is the most hilarious thing ever!! Adult content.

Kaitlyn in her jumparoo!!

2007-10-29T18:42:00.001-07:00

Our neighbor across the street came over and asked us if we would be interested in a jumparoo. I was so excited because Kaitlyn has a jumparoo at daycare and she just loves it. So here is Kaitlyn in her very own jumparoo.

Kaitlyn in Daddy's Big Hat

2007-10-27T10:34:00.000-07:00

Here is Kaitlyn in daddy's big hat....we thought auntie Dawn Armstrong would just love this picture.

Kaitlyn Big Smile

2007-10-27T10:30:00.000-07:00

Look at this BIG SMILE!! Love that big smile. This is the big smile I got when I walked in to the livingroom after she had rolled over. Our baby is going to be on the move in no time.

Kaitlyn Rolling Over
