Fun Saturday afternoon




On Saturday afternoon we went to a farm in Longmont, CO and had a lot of fun. The little girls all got to feed a lot of animals, ride the pony, play in the sand, climb a cool tree house, ride bike's, run on top of hay stacks and swing in some really high swings. I think that was it. We had so much fun. On the other hand, the guys had gone fishing in another town about 1hr. away and believe it or not got caught up in a tornado. Well they didn't exactly get caught in it but close enough if you ask them. They were on their way to go fishing when Nick looked up in the sky and saw the startings of a funnel cloud. They stayed away from it as best they could. Luckily they did not see the worst of it. The next area up from them had quite a bit of damage. They eventually got to go fishing but never caught anything. Nick said he had a fun time just hanging out with the guys though.

Kaylee loves ballet class




Well as most of you know Kaylee will be 4 in a couple of weeks. For her b-day gift we got her ballet classes. She has a 45min. class every Sat. morning. Her first class was this Sat. and she had so much fun. She did so well listening to the teacher and trying to follow what the teacher was doing. She also does about 10min. of tap at the end which was a lot of fun for all of the little ones to get to make so much noise. Aunt Tina got her all of her ballet clothes so she was all set. She loves her clothes and wants to wear them all of the time. Thank you for all of the ballet gear Tina...

Jillian tries rice cereal




I'm going to go out on a limb here and say she didn't like it..

What Kaylee wants to be when she grows up...



KK has told me various things this week that she wants to be when she grows up. A "Saver Girl" and she is going to save people and wear a saver outfit. She also wants to be a "Jungle girl" and collect "aminals" from the jungle. The last thing is a chef. She loves to watch food tv more then I do. She knows all of the chefs names and sits and watches them cook and tells me what they are cooking. I would be a proud mama if she becomes any of these things.

My fav. pics of the month





Garden Glory




Ok, this is more for me to remember my first garden. Ofourse those of you who are interested go ahead and read. This summer I planted my first garden. I spent quite a bit of money, a lot of time and most of all care. I love having a garden and taking care of it so when we decided to move in the middle of the summer the thought of all that going down the drain broke my heart just a bit. Well we decided to dig as much up as we could and move it to the new house. We were pretty sure it wouldn't make it after the transplant but instead the opposite happened. I actually have veggies growing now. I am so happy that it is doing so well and cannot wait to taste the fruits of my labor.

The infamous thumb


See how cute this is!!! We will just wait it out and see I think. Thanks for all of the advice!

Thumb sucking

This weekend Jillian discovered her feet and how to play with them. She also started sucking her thumb. She has sucked on her hands since birth and I wondered if she might start sucking her thumb. Well it has happened. I am not sure that it will continue but she seems pretty hooked. I need every one's opinion. Should I let her do it or should I stop her and give her a binky since thumb sucking is a much harder habit to break? Thank you! I would have put a pic. on here of her doing it but my camera is still packed somewhere. It is so so cute...

Jill's first spill


So today I put Jillian on our bed to play and I knew to put her away from the side in fear that she may push herself off. Well I didn't put her far enough from the edge I guess. She is stronger then I thought. I saw her head dangling off the side and ran as fast as I could to catch her but I was too late. She did a complete back flip off the bed and landed right on her poor face and tummy. I felt so so bad. She is OK though. I think I may have been more shaken up then her. She cried for a bit but then big sister KK cheered her up. We all ended up having a good day and now I can hear Jillian downstairs gabbing away to Nick.
