Ok, I am actually quiet sad about this. Keiren has now officially graduated up to a big girl bed. We had to take apart her crib due to a recall and my grandmother had a twin bed that was unused, so we hopped at the opportunity to get a new bed for free. So my man and I took down the crib and put up the twin while she was napping the other day. She woke up and we showed her the new bed and she was all excited. We even got her a Tinkerbell bedspread, she really like that. The other morning I came home from working a very late shift and checked on her like I always do and there she was all snuggled up in her new bed looking so peaceful and beautiful. It hit me then just how big she is getting. Man where have the last two years gone. Maybe it's time to start thinking about another one? .........

Checking In
Ok did my first work out for week one. Had to rest for a day in between my initial test. I can really tell how out of shape I am by how sore my legs are. But did a good day 1 week 1 work out and about 30 mins of my Pilate's DVD. Keiren had a good time swimming, a bit apprehensive. She didn't want to put her feet down to stand up in the 2ft pool. She also just wanted to play rather than listen to the teacher. So we'll have to work on that. We go again tomorrow. Not much else going on. Working on a couple of pairs of socks. I really have fell in love with doing socks. And while I was on vacation in Bend I made my man take me to a local yarn store. I picked up a book on how to do socks two at a time. I have a pair started for Keiren with some left over yarn that I had to practice with. So yeah that's about it. I will leave you with a couple of pictures of Keiren from our trip to Bend.

Update (aka... long post)
OK so what have we been up too the last few weeks? Actually lots. We went on vacation for a week at my grandparents in Bend, OR. That was a lot of fun, we didn't do all that much, but a week away from everything is soo nice. Went to the museum, did some shopping, ate lots of food. And then we all got sick! Why is it when ever we go on vacation we end up getting a cold? Is it because we finally slow down and our bodies just can't handle it or what. Well we had a good time anyways. Good to see the family. While we were down there we were told that my mother-n-law broken her ankle. She ended up having surgery to fix it. She broke every bone in her ankle along with dislocating it. Very bad, but she is doing well besides having to be in a chair 24/7. Keiren is getting so big and so very smart. I feel like in the last few weeks she has grown up so much. She is constantly asking questions and wanting to know what everything is. Very inquisitive. I love it! We signed her up for swimming lessons, I have been meaning to do this for a very long time and finally got around to doing it. We start tomorrow at a local pool that actually has salt water instead of chlorine. I guess it's easier to learn how to swim in, more buoyant. So we'll see how it goes. I think she will really like it once she is comfortable. I have decided to start somewhat of a workout routine. I had lost some weight but it is gradually creeping back on. So now need to do some exercise. I have no excuse not too, my work has a gym. So I have copied/stole some ideas from a friend. I am going to do these: http://twohundredsquats.com, http://twohundredsitups.com, and http://hundredpushups.com. They are a gradual build up over six weeks. I'm really excited about it, hope I can keep with it. It would do me really good. So today at my lunch break I took my initial test. I can do 15 modified push ups ( on knees), 40 good crunches/sit ups, and 31 squats. Which is a lot better than I thought I would be able to do. All that lifting of a 27lb baby really pays off more than I think. I also walked a very fast mile on the treadmill. So tomorrow I will start the real routine of doing this every other day. Next I need to work on getting better at running.

Well hello. Now daddy knows how to update the blog so hopefully between the two of us we can keep on top of things. Well Keiren had her two year check up about three weeks ago all is good. She weights 26 lbs and is 2' tall, but her head is still off the charts. That would be the Woolcott side of the family. But she needs the extra space for the huge brain that she has. The doctor was asking Keiren questions about where different things were on her body. Like where's you feet, your head, and stuff. Keiren started to point and name her teeth, hair, eye brow, elbow, armpit, and neck. The doctor was very surprised at all that she knew all of these things.
Our cousin Caitlyn had a concert that she played in last weekend and I got to go watch. To be a part of this band, that had kids from all over the state, her teacher had to submit a CD of her playing Then she had to be picked by a committee to play in the band. She was the only student from her district to be selected and the only eighth grader to be chosen. Her teacher was very proud that one of his students was chosen. While I was there I was standing on my grandma's lap facing the stage conducting just like the person on the podium.
For the last couple days daddy and I have been fighting a cold. I got a flu shot at my two year check-up. But wouldn't you know it I get sick anyway. On Wednesday night my temp actually got up to 103.9 degrees. Mom and dad were very concerned but when I went to sleep it lowered and when I got up on Thursday it was below 99 degrees. But we went to the doctor anyway and we found out that even though I haven't shown any signs of one, I have a major ear infection. All of this happens on mommy's vacation. She's upset that she gets to spend her vacation looking after 2 sick people. Cross you fingers she hasn't gotten sick herself. Well I guess that's all for now. Will try to update more often.

New sit n spin with Papa Kyle (she didn't want to sit but stand on it)
With Grandpa JohnHappy Holidays!
We had a wonderful holiday. Of course Keiren enjoyed it the most. She received many, many wonderful gifts, all of which had to be played with equally. Including taking her new baby doll to bed with her. Oh the life of a two year old. Many Thanks to all! And we wish you the best in 2009! The Woolcott's
Oh yeah we got some snow for the Holidays, we never get snow on Christmas!

And we're back!
So it has been a very very long time since I have updated anything on this blog. Lots of crazy stuff has been going on in our lives making it very hard to keep up. Well guess I should get started. Um lets see, we left off at Keiren's first birthday, a very long 9 months ago. So got my job at the new police department. I have somewhat been promoted to a trainer already, which is way way cool and something I have always wanted to do. But let me tell you it has been very tiring and fulfilling at the same time if that makes any sense. Keiren is getting oooh so very big and each day she is showing how incredibly smart and funny she is. I will post pics. Well maybe, she just knocked out her front tooth the other day so not too many pictures of her lately. Mmmmm we moved to a new place. Bigger than the one before but not my favorite. Need to decorate, that might make me feel better about it. Scott and I have both been super busy at work and just plugging away. We just got back from a short trip to Vegas. That was lots of fun. Good break from training for me, really needed it, haven't had a vacation all year since getting new job. Not excited at all about Christmas. Very bah humbug this year not sure why though. I think there are a lot of people out there feeling the same way. So yeah, that's about it for the moment. Going to get some pictures up of my super cutie! Post more later.

Happy 1st Birthday!
Happy First Birthday Baby Girl!!!!!!!
We had a wonderful get together with some family and friends, on the second of February. (Officially her birthday is the sixth, but since I'm not a very good blogger we are a bit delayed in posting) We all ate pizza and had some gourme cupcakes from Hello Cupcake in Tacoma. They were aboslutely delicious and Keiren loved them! We also had our twelve month checkup. All things look good there. She is right on track for her height, her head is off the charts (Such a huge noggin!) and on the 25% for her weight. We got a skinny minny on our hand here but let me tell you she is a very voarcious eater. Especially right now with her wanting to crawl and being This Close to walking. She has taken a few steps on her own, like two or three at a time but soon very soon she will be walking.
NEW JOB
Offically I have been offered a position at a new Police Department. I have to wait for an appointment with Human Resources to fill out paperwork and then I get to pick a start date!!! WOOO HOOO! So very excited!! Lots of oppertunity at this new department! Can't wait!!!

Christmas, New Years and a New Job?
Well this will be another post without pictures. I'm working on getting some ready, for real this time. We had a pretty good Christmas, I had to work so we decided to hold off on opening any presents until the weekend after. Nobody wants a graveyard worker with no sleep around. : ) So Keiren got lots of cool toys and lots of clothes. Thank you to everyone!!! New years was not that exciting, I also had to work! So the last month or so has been pretty uneventful. We went to Zoo lights. That was lots of fun, very cold.
I am in the process of doing my background investigation for another police agency. The city I currently work for is in the process of consolidating with another agency and I decided I didn't want to be apart of that, so new job for me. That is if they hire me. You know my crazy past just might catch up with me. LOL! I'm hoping that if all goes well that by the beginning of March I will be working for a different agency.
My little one has been such a bundle of joy! She absolutely loves to crawl around the living room and play with all her toys and chase the cats and get into everything! She is also very smart, we had put of some boxes in the hallway to contain her to the living room, she proceeded to push them right out of the way and continue on her merry way to playing in the cat's water dish. All I could do was laugh. Maybe for her birthday we need to get some baby gates. I don't think she will be able to get past them! Every day I am amazed at how smart and beautiful she is!
Well that is about it for the moment. I will get some pictures up very soon.
