The Streak is Over...K-State beats KU at Bramlage!

After 24 years Wildcat fans can celebrate on our home court. The Jayhawks from Kansas came in here last night hoping to make that 25 years, but Michael Beasley, Bill Walker and company had something else in mind. It was such an exciting game to watch and to be apart of history. Bramlage was packed and pumpin' last night and Wildcat fans were ready to cheer and watch the streak come to an end.

Brandon and I very excited for the game to get started.


The teams getting ready for the tip to start the game.


This is right at the end of the game with 47 seconds left. The whole place is going nuts. You can see that the student section to the left are getting ready to charge the floor.


K-State Wins! The mass of fans charging the court in celebration. Final Score KSU 84 KU 75



Brandon and I enjoying the win. No...we did not join the fans on the court, but it was fun to watch everyone go crazy.


That just happened!


It was a great game to watch and one that I would have not missed. Peyton most of known that it was a big game too, becasue she was very active throughout the whole game giving me lots of kicks and moving around. The girl is already a basketball fan!

We saved our tickets and game program and Brandon is going to get Bill Walker and Michael Beasley to sign them. Another thing to add to the sports collection.

We ended up getting home around 11pm and you had the feeling that Manhattan was going to be rocking all night long. It is what everyone is talking about today and not getting a lot of work done.

Go Cats!

30 Weeks...

How Peyton's growing:
Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

Favorite Moments of 2007

I have been meaning to get these pictures posted of some of our great moments of 2007. It was a great year filled with lots of fun and excitement.

Starting with the great news that we will be having a little girl!


Wrigley has been so much fun and it is fun watching Jon get so excited to play with her when we are in Kansas City.


Merry Christmas!


KC Marathon with Dad.


We all had so much fun that we are thinking about doing it again next year.


Baby Wrigley...She was so cute and so little.


I love how she sleeps and will lay on her back. I didn't think that dogs would sleep on their backs, but Wrigley does.


Thanksgiving...I love Lily's face and how she is still out of it from her nap.


The first big smile that Audrey gave me. She is such a ham.


Audrey Elizabeth arrived!


Audrey looking so cute taking a nap.


Audrey and I getting some snuggle time in together.


I love Lily's face and how happy she is while we are on our summer vacation with the whole family.


Dad and Jon giving us some peace while on vacation. Love the goggles!


We made a stop in Dallas to see some friends and had a great night with everyone.

29 Weeks...

How Peyton's growing:
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. Her muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make room for her developing brain. To meet her increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because her bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.

I got tagged...Thanks Stacy!

My sister Stacy tagged me, so here are a list of questions that you can enjoy reading and just might learn something about Brandon and I you didn't know.

How long have you been together? 5 years

How long did you date? 3 years. 1 year at Graceland, 1 year apart, and 1 year in Dallas before we got married on June 25, 2005

How old is he? 27 years old

Who eats more? Brandon can eat way more food. I am lucky if I even finish my whole plate.

Who said "I love you" first? Brandon

Who is taller? Brandon

Who sings better? Either one of us are good singers, but we sure think we can in the car!

Who is smarter? Brandon

Who does the laundry? Kelly...Brandon will help out when I ask him, but I have had lots of clothes shrink because he tried to do the laundry!

Who does the dishes? Kelly...Brandon acts like he is going to throw up if he has to touch the dirty dishes. I make him empty out the clean dishes in the dishwasher to help me out.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Brandon sleeps on the right side, but while he is gone I move over to the right.

Who pays the bills? Brandon...He is very organized and makes my life easier to not have to worry about that.

Who mows the lawn? We don't have a lawn yet, but when we do I am sure that we will share this job. We both like to mow.

Who cooks dinner? Kelly...Brandon has certain meals that he is good at cooking, so he will cook those, but other then that I cook all the meals.

Who is more stubborn? We both can be stubborn.

Who kissed who first? Brandon kissed me first.

Who asked who out? Brandon used one of my friends at Graceland to get me to start coming around him and when we went on our first date I think that it was me who asked Brandon to go to the Wednesday night movie.

Who proposed? Brandon asked me on New Year's Eve 2003!

Who is more sensitive? Kelly

Who has more friends? Brandon

Who has more siblings? Kelly (1 brother + 1 sister) Brandon (1 brother)

Who wears the pants in the relationship? I wouldn't say that either one of us wears the pants in the relationship. We are good at making decisions together, but if I had to make a choice between the two I would say that Brandon wears the shorts not the pants in this relationship.

28 Weeks and Belly Pics...

How Peyton's growing:
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

Here are a few belly pictures for you all to see. I took them this morning before I went to work.






My belly button is hanging on strong and has not popped out yet. There are days that it feels really tight, so Brandon and I are just waiting for it to happen.


I am really starting to get much bigger. Just the little things that you take for granted are getting hard for me to do. Like putting on my shoes and socks! Seeing all of this belly is getting me very excited for Peyton to arrive, but it also makes me think about all of those hard workouts that I will be doing to get back into shape.

We are still unpacking daily to get settled into our new home. As you can tell things in the background are a little random on the mantle.

Gluclose Test...Passed!

Monday night I had to take my fruit punch gluclose test. The doctor wanted me to be under 140 and I tested at 109, so I am good and don't have to worry about anything!

I also have been having pain on my right side that hurts after I eat meals and sometimes just for no reason. We have been thinking that it has to do with my gallbladder, but since I have been having this pain for the last 2 months my doctor wanted to have my liver tested. I called this morning for the test results and everything came back normal. The pain is not always very comfortable, but I will just have to deal with it.

While I was taking my test I had my regular doctor visit and everything is looking great. I am measuring right on at 27 weeks and Peyton's heartbeat was strong at 150 bpm. She has been very active and I am sure that I felt the first hicups yesterday afternoon. It felt like a kick at first and then it happened in the same spot 5 more times in a row.

I am very thankful that all of my test came back normal and that all we have to think about is how we are going to paint the nursery.
