Cute pics I had to share!

Busy, busy, busy

Where do I start? This has been a busy but fun month. Jillian is getting so big. As you can see from one of the pics she is eating baby food now. She can also sit up all by herself. I cannot believe that she is already 5 months old. KK has had a busy month with friends and enjoyed every minute of it. We have done a lot of stuff outdoors this last month to try to soak in the rest of the days that have warm temps. Nick has been busy going hunting and shooting and all of that GUY stuff. He has had a lot of fun. I have just been being a mommy. I did take an afternoon off one day and went with some frinds to go hike the "incline". It is a fairly steep climb up a mountain. There are a total of 2,500 steps or so and I made it to 750. I am now hooked and want to go all of the time just so I can make it to the top. Marci and I are going on Sat. I will keep you posted if we make it to the top. I will try to keep up with the blog better to keep all of you far away from us updated.

Already 4!

My sweet baby KK turned 4 on Tues. I cannot believe she is already 4. Time goes by too fast. I keep thinking that in the short time she has already turned 4 she will be 8. Does that make sense? Well KK had a wonderful party last Sunday where she had several of her close girlfriends come over for a princess party. They played outside, we ate octopus hot dogs on top of mac 'n' chz, decorated tiara's, tried to pop balloons with stickers inside, blew out candles and opened gifts. Busy day but so much fun. I love home parties. On her actual birthday she went and played with her friends Gracie and Kenzie and then we went with Morgan to get their ears pierced. They both did so good. Not even a hint of a tear. I had the worst gut wrenching feeling b/c I was so nervous but in the end it was wasted energy. After ears were done we went to Chick-fil-A for dinner and then to get gelato for dessert. The last pic. you see is her having so much fun decorating a jewelry box that she got as a gift.
KK is such a wonderful little girl and I could never imagine life without her. She did not want to turn 4 b/c she knows as she gets older it is closer to time for her to get married and then move away. She talks about it a lot and always asks when she gets married if she can still live with mommy. I always tell her of course knowing that in a few short yrs. she will not want to live with her mommy anymore and will want to go explore the world on her own. I wish that my girls would stay little forever but as long as we are always as close as we are now I will be the happiest person.

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.
