I'mmmm back! Hey all you Kos and Kerry fans! I know it has been a while, but we have been so busy here.

So much has happened in the Kos and Kerry story! They just celebrated their 1 year anniversary! How sweet. They are still crazy about each other.

The big news is... Kos MOVED in with us. It is a long story and a private matter with his family that I try to stay out of. I just know that I always promised Kos I would never shut the door on him. So here he is...with us! At first, it was an adjustment for Kerry. He didnt have a car to drive back and forth to school, so Kerry was having to take him and still keep up with her own responsibilities. But then his Dad and I worked it out so we could get the hand controls put in Kerry's car...so now Kos is driving again!

Kos turned 20 the other day!!! We had his party at Chuck E Cheese! It was so much fun. Kerry planned it out so well. It was a Celtic basketball theme. They had so much fun. Dave, Kos's dad came and we tried to get him to play games...no such luck (maybe next time!).

Anywho, after much nagging by Kerry, we opened our pool. Of course it is not warm enough to get in it...or is it???? My son Andrew and Kos jumped into this freezing pool on a bet...buuurrrrr Well the next morning Kos's eyes was so swollen and bright red...I thought he had pink eye. He couldnt open his eyes without horrible pain. I put Visine in them and put him back to bed. They are better now...But I think because he opened his eyes in the freezing water with chemicals in it...I irritated his eyes...BAD. So now Kerry really wont get in. She has always loved the water, she just looks at the pool and wishes she could get in. When she was little, she would spend all day in the pool, barely getting out to eat. Maybe she should be a lifeguard!

Well, I guess thats all for now... I will check back in soon with the crazy stories of Kos and Kerry!

Almost a Year

Kos and Kerry are coming up on their one year anniversary! They are trying to figure out something special to do...have any suggestions???

We just got back from Myrtle Beach for the weekend! Our hotel had an indoor waterpark! Kerry didnt go down the waterslides at all (too scared) but Seth did 8 times! Kos went down once and said he kept hitting his head on they top of the tube because he didnt have the weight of legs to hold him down...hum...who would have thought about that!

So anyway, Valentines Day has come and gone. It was so sweet to watch these two. Kerry planned a scavenger hunt around the house that ended at a table set for 2 with candles and balloons all over the room. She posted sticky notes along the hunt to tell him where to go next. She laid hersheys kisses along the trail to the table. She had heart shapes plates! But for their dinner she had CHICKEN WINGS!!!! she said it was his favorite! For a drink she had Monster Energy drinks. He loved it and loved the thought she put into it.

So I am looking forward to seeing how they will plan the 1 year anniversary!

I recently got a message from my friend Kelly at work to update my blog!!! Ok Kelly...I'm back

For all of you Kos and Kerry fans...they are still madly in love!! They just celebrated their 10 month anniversary... with a picnic at the lake in the middle of January! But it was too cold to get out of the car...so they let down the back seats and had their picnic, played board games and talked for hours! How romantic!

Lets back track a little bit. We were lucky enough to have Kos here for Thanksgiving Dinner! Not just him...but his dad Dave as well. We all had a nice time getting to know each other. Then Dave was gracious enough to allow Kos to go to Florida with our family to see my sister. We had so much fun playing on the beach. I think Kerry and Kos went to the beach everyday! Kos finally got to experience "Our Road Trips"!!! They are loud, fun and LONG!

Then there was Christmas! Their first Christmas together! It was sweet to watch them open their gifts together...Just simple gifts from the heart. She gave him a Celtic Jersey with his last name on the back and a Iron Man Gym he wanted. He gave her a Coat she wanted. Then they got ready and went to his dads house to spend Christmas day with him. Christmas Eve at my house is very busy! My sister Kelly and her family come stay the night and we all have Christmas morning together! But this year was the greatest year! Kelly had baby Maddox in November and to be with him on his first Christmas was the greatest gift! He is so so so so precious! I am so grateful to have the family I have! Ok, Ok...But to the happy couple. It is a tradition to go to the Waffle House at midnight Christmas Eve! We get all the little ones in bed and head out to the WH for great laughs! Kos told the waitress Merry Christmas in Russian! Then we come home and wait for Santa to arrive! It was one of the greatest Christmases I have ever had. There is nothing better than waking up to a house full of loved ones, a brand new baby and a room full of gifts!

I am excited to see what this year brings...
