Spring is around the Corner!

I am not so sure if I am ready for spring yet. It only means that Summer is coming to fast! Then Kip will be ONE year old. CRAZY! Of course I have been thinking about his 1st birthday party and I don't want to go crazy, but I think I have a great idea. I had no idea how fast he would go up. It goes by in a flash. He is crawling every where. He will be running soon I am sure of it. We have been lucky this winter and Kip hasn't got a nasty little cold. I think he got something worst though. He caught a stomach bug from some where. He gave it to me, momma came over to help me and she got sick with in 30 mins. (I think she might had already had something) Then Adam got it. I have never had a stomach bug that I can remember and I really think it is of the devil. We went through so many diapers it wasn't funny! So, needless to say our House smelled of Lysol! (yuck!)
On Valentines Day Adam's dad's father passed away. We all knew it was coming. He had been in the hospital for awhile. Valentine's night Kip spent the night at mom and dad's. Adam and I had a date (yes, a date) We went to PF Chang's and then went to north pointe mall. It is a really cool mall. Then on Sunday was Baby dedication and our niece Ansley was dedicated. I will post pics at a later date. We have a few exciting thing coming up this weekend. Can't wait to tell you all about them.

We're back!

We got back home Sunday around 5 pm. We had a great time on Saturday the girl went to the outlet mall. We was there all day it seems from 1 to 5:30. We walked the whole place and it is big I really only went to get Kip some shoes. He only has one pair and I ended up getting 6 pair and all i spent was 26 dollars. I got him some sandals for this summer so cute!

Here is a pic of 5 pair!After shopping we headed back to the cabin to find Jennifer's bed, nightstands, and all her luggage and lamp in the drive way! The light was even on! Hahaha! let me tell you the pranks started on Friday night when the boy and when I say boys I mean Adam, Josh, Marc, Cooper, Kirk, Neil, and Benton. They put her Box spring on the top of her mattress. Then until we left the guys and Jenn went back and forth. It was fun but it was getting old come late Saturday night!

Here is Jenn with the that guys moved her room. She is trying to look mad but we really thought it was all funny!Kip started crawling on this trip! I must say he is slow but he now crawls a little then sits up and chills for a sec. So darn cute! Here are a few more pics from our trip!

So here we are hanging out in Gatlinburg, Tenn. At our cabin Hidden Point. Thanks to Marc and Jessica for hooking us up! There is 16 people here with us and I must say that we have lot of stories to tell. Josh, Jenni, Cosette, Marc, Jessica,Candace, Kirk, Christine, Ben, Jennifer, Benton,Neil, Copper, Adam, Kip and I. Adam and I got here at 3:15 am, We was so tired. We was welcomed by Marc, Josh and Neil. They was STILL up playing Rock Band. Kip went back to bed when we got here. He so far has been great. He is starting to crawl and we are so excited. We know that means that we are going to be moving more.

So, yesterday we all went downtown Gatlinburg it still looks the same. We had a corn dog from Fannie Farfinkcles. We hung out in town from 12 to 4 or so, we then came back to the cabin we had taco's for dinner and we didn't do much after.

Now I have woke up and getting blamed for doing something to Jennifer's bed. I have no clue what is going on and for once I wasn't in on a prank. We will post more later.

How Kip got his Name!

I wanted to make this blog to let all of you know that don't how Kip got his name! It is a little Freaky some might say, but It really means a lot to Adam and I! We are so blessed to have this little guy in our lives and we give all the thanks to God. I am not a Writer at all. Most of you can tell. I really like sharing my life with those around us. I hope you all enjoy!





How you got your name!
Kipton Nathaniel
I (mommy) always knew I wanted to name my first son after my brother, which would be your uncle. His name was Kip Wilson Fowler. Your name being Kipton Nathaniel and we was going to call you Nate. Your uncle Kip was 12 years older than I. His birthday was October 30, 1971. He was the best big brother a little redhead girl could ask for. He past away April 6, 1995, I was almost 12 years old and in sixth grade. Yes, it was hard, but it made me stronger in so many ways. You have to know that from the time we conceived you he was smiling down from heaven with joy that he was going to be a uncle.
We (mommy and daddy) was not planning on trying to have any babies until at least the summer that you are born. As you will learn God has a plan for our lives. We conceived you on October 30, 2007, which is your uncle Kip’s birthday. You are a gift from God and your Uncle. We found out we was expecting on Saturday, November the weekend before Thanksgiving.
In December 2007 I had a great dream. It started out to be a strange dream. “Your grandma (my mom) had gone crazy and gone to the cemetery and dug up your uncle. She called me and told me to come over to there house (grandma and grandpa) to see Kip before she buries him under there house. So I went over to the house where I grew up until I married your daddy. When I saw your uncle Kip laying on the ground in tissue paper, he looked the same as he did the last time I saw him. Nothing had changed in 12 years. My mom your grandma started to cover him up with dirt. When she turned to get the dirt with her shovel, the wind blew and the tissue covering his face came open. Kip looked up at me and smiled and told me he was happy for me and everything was going to be okay. When grandma would turn to but the dirt over him he would go back to sleep. Every time she would turn the other way he would smile and talk to me a little more each time.”
I woke up and was a little freaked out about the whole dream. I couldn’t go back to sleep. I tried to think of everything else I had to do that week.
When I finally went back to sleep I dreamed “ That you was already born. I had gone to your grandparents to see if your grandma could watch you for a few hour while I went somewhere. She couldn’t. She had to get to a meeting and was very busy getting ready to go. While she was in her room your uncle Kip came walking out of his old room. He told me to be quiet that mom and dad didn’t know he was alive and living back in his room. He heard mom start to come out of her room, so he took off running to his room to hind. She went in to the bathroom, I walked back to his room to see if he was really alive and in my dream he was. He told me to leave and wait for mom to leave and come back and he would watch the baby (you). So, I did! I came back and there he was with open arms and reaching for you. When I handed you to him he smile and said “ Little KIP is so cute”. That is when I woke up from the dream and I just felt peace all around me. That is when I knew that I was going to call you KIP!
At that time we didn’t know what we was having a Boy or a girl? Your Daddy wanted a boy so bad it wasn’t funny and I had a feeling that you was a boy, because of the conceive date, the dream and not to mention that on your grandma’s side of the family if a man passed away before the first child was born it was more likely be a boy. Crazy I know, but it must be true. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. In February 2008 We found out that we was having a BOY! His name will be Kipton Nathaniel Mayfield and we will call him Kip. Thanks to God and your Uncle Kip we will know that our “Little Kip is going to be so cute!”
Love your Mommy
Krista
Your names meaning: Kip- from a pointing hill
Nathaniel- gift of God

6 months old

Kip is now 6 Months old and a week! We went to have his check up today! He perfect and everything came out good! He weighs 18 lbs and is 28 1/2 in. long! He is in the 95% for Height and in the 75% for Weight. He no longer has to take meds for his Acid Reflux! Which is good! He still has acid reflux, but it don't seem to bother him as much. He still throws up alot, but as long as he is not in pain he is good. He got 5 shots today! He is such a good boy! He cried a little and then he was fine. He is now sleeping in his swing!

It will not be long before Kip will be crawling. He can get up on all fours and rocks back and forth! I know it is a good thing but I not looking forward to chasing him around! He loves the walker that he got for Christmas he chases Baxter around the house. Just when Baxter thinks he can't get him, Kip corners him in the corner. We think it is funny, but i don't think Baxter is amused.

Adam says he can't wait for him to walk! Then he can chase him.

Just so you know Adam's Grandfather is in the hospital. Just pray that the family makes the right decision. He has pneumonia and has a lot of fluid around the lungs and heart and can't breathe on his own.

WOW! It is 2009! That is Amazing! Kip has just had his 1st Christmas! Crazy to think last year at this time, we only knew that I was pregnant! Now he is almost 6 months old. We will be planning his 1st birthday before we know it!

Christmas was great! Kip got a walker and a few toys from Santa. He loves his walker! He can really get it going. He got a red wagon from his Nona and Papa! It is still at there house. Where would we put it? I think we have enough diapers to get us by for awhile! So do yall really care about all that! Christmas was different this year. With Grandmama having cancer and staying down at Aunt Betty's, which it was nice to go down there and having dinner for Christmas. We really missed PawPaw and Papaw this year. That was the Sad part, but at least they had the best Christmas ever!!!!!

New years was fun we had dinner with Ed, Diana and Theresa at Tokyo's. Then we went over to Kimberly and Garrins to bring in the new year. New years day we went to Ed and Diana's to Watch to Bulldawgs play and Win! Then we played Wii all day! It was fun.

We are wishing everyone a great New year! May 2009 be the best ever!

We are HOME!

Well, to say the least we had a great time in the Smokies. We enjoyed family time. With out the stress of buying Christmas gifts. We spend a day at Dollywood. Kip and Ansley got to see Santa and Mrs.Claus. We rode a train and got to see a couple of shows. It was a cold day! We left right after dark. We got to see Dollywood all lit up. After that we all went back to the Cabin to play some pool and to get warm.

Sunday we spent the day out and about. We went over to the outlet mall . Had lunch at the Apple barn. YUMMY! Then Adam and I went to the Christmas store and rode around. That night we went to the Dixie Stampede. Which we have been to way to many times. It is a great show but we know what they are going to so before they do it. Time for something new! Then back to the room to show off our Pool skills! WE loved our Cabin! Thanks to Jessica and Cabins for you! It was great! Oh yeah did i mention that we ate at FLAPJACKS! LOL! only Adam and I get that!

Came home on Monday and stopped by the bass pro shop to get some cute pics for PAPA!

Thank you Grannie Fannie for watching Baxter! We hope he wasn't to much trouble.
