Thanksgiving

As usual I'm late, and I didn't even take a nap last Sunday, but had a baptism and dinner to cook though. So today I'm posting! We had a great week off. I was able to get my chores done on Monday and enjoyed the rest of the week with the girls. Friday and Saturday we had a good time with Chris off. Went to see Tangled and decorated with some lights and hung out with the neighbors. Saturday was off to Disney. Thursday we went to Mima's and PaPa's then Grandma Judy's and Papa Tim. Good food and fun.
To build up to Thanksgiving the girls each had a feast I was able to go to. Yeah for part-time!!! Reagan had a brunch and Kylie had lunch, different days thank goodness. Kylie had a little play where she was the first narrator. She memorized her part in two days, but for some reason, nerves I guess, she read it very well. She also sang 3 songs, but my camera died even though I charged the batter all night! Good thing I had a back up :0) Reagan only did one song. Glad she did one, but bummed it was just one. So here are their pictures from school. I know I didn't even take any the day of. If you did, please send them my way!!!

Halloween

Here are just a quick few photos from this weekends festivities. I downloaded about 400 pictures of our cameras today from the last 2 months and there are some good ones. So I told Amber that's her honey do list tomorrow, go through them and post the good ones on here for you all to see. But because Mee Maw insisted I take lots of pictures this weekend here are the Halloween ones right away. The first one is Kylie being wrapped up in TP like a mummy. This was at a neighbor and classmate of Kylie's halloween party. The rest are self explanatory shots from tonight and the last is from the ward trunk or treat on Friday. Kylie's wonderful teacher came out to the church for a bit and this is a shot of her and the girls. They just love her and were so excited she came!!!

Family Pictures

Ok, so it was long overdue, about 6 months. But we were able to take family pictures on Oct. 3rd. My neighbor Amanda was kind enough to do it for us. My how the girls have grown since last year when we took them! Love our little growing family. We've really been enjoying the weather and fall festivities. We got to so see Kool and the Gang for Reagan's favorite song 'Celebration.' Saw some amazingly wonderfully decorated houses for Halloween, I worked the school carnival all sat. More to come this weekend. Just don't like the girls getting the greedy gimmies so Sat and Sunday we played it cool and caught up on some rest. Miss you all!

Cheer-Leading

So Kylie and Reagan (now that she is old enough) are both cheering this year and have games every Thursday evening. So far they have had 2 and just love them! Enjoy this cheer courtesy of the Harmony Longhorn Pop Warner Flag cheer team.

Busy but fun Weekends!!!

So the last 2 weekends have been alot of fun! We love getting out together and enjoying all the reasons we live in FL as you will be able to see as I recount our activities. So last weekend for the holiday Friday night Amber and I went on a date night to Disney Quest and had fun playing all the games. Saturday morning we took out the sailboat our community has here on our gorgeous lake. A couple weeks ago I took the sailing class so now we have that option in addition to the canoes, kayaks and pontoon boats. We love getting out on the water! Kylie was nervous though on the sailboat for the first time as every time it would keel (or lean a little to one side, which is normal) she would freak out thinking we were going to tip over! After the boat there was a neighborhood labor day party with pizza and a pie baking contest. We just enjoyed hanging out with neighbors and playing in the splash pad. After all the morning fun we came home and cleaned house while Kinsey napped then went down to the Magic Kingdom for the evening (I love living in Cetral FL, the weather, water, and parks! Why would u live anywhere else?). On labor day we spent the morning doing lots of much needed yard work (so much playing lately it had been neglected). Then we went down to Blizzard Beach and Disney Quest for the evening. This was the first time the girls had been to disney quest and they liked the pirate simulator and all the kids games. What a great 3 day weekend! Now this weekend was the primary program for Amber and the girls. So Friday night they had a rehearsal/pizza party and so Kinsey, Gram and I grilled some steaks and played at the house while the rest of the family was rehearsing. Then when they got home from the church we went over to the 2nd half of the Harmony High football game. Saturday there was a big stake wide Relief Society activity that Amber and Dale went to so I loaded up the crew and took them down to Disney's Hollywood Studios and we had a blast! We got to see a special pass holder preview of the new Tinker Bell movie "The Great Fairy Rescue" and the girls loved it. Then that night Amber and I got to go out to dinner just the 2 of us (always nice) Thanks Gram! Then to top it all off today was the primary program and it was great! Kylie and Reagan sang beautifully and Kylie just looked great up there singing every word with a smile! That primary song leader (Amber) really did a great job with the kids!!! Man I love our little family! We are so blessed and have so much fun. We would love for all you guys our friends and family to come out and play with us! I am going to post some random pictures from these last 2 weekends and try to post a video clip from one of the girls cheer-leading games.

Kids say the darndest things!!!

So last night Amber runs into the grocery store to pick something up and I am out in the car with the girls circling the lot. Well we were talking about going to DQ to get a Blizzard and Reagan says to Kylie all excited "YOU'RE GOING TO GET A LIZARD?" Then just a minute later I see a guy walking through the parking lot and tell the girls look at this guy he is a grown up but is really short. Kylie upon seeing the man says oh yeah, "he's a dork!" So as I am trying to hold back my tears of laughter I ask her what did you say, just to be sure I heard it right and sure enough she repeats in total confidence he's a dork. OK, now I can't hold it in and as I am laughing I tell her you mean DWARF not DORK sweetie. You never know when it will happen but man kids can instantly have you cracking up. I love my girls!!!

Our little Dancers

So Amber and Dale went out tonight to Give Kids the World and of course daddy let's the girls watch some tv (while I check out my fantasy football stuff and before our walk and their father's blessings for the start of school. No I don't just turn on the tv and forget it for those of you who were thinking that). Well Kylie Goes into the DVR and finds one of there favorite shows...so you think you can dance (they like any show where people perform and are voted off but especially love dancing). So here is what happens when the dancing show or really any music is on... Kinsey especially is so cute, I just had to share.

Happy Birthday Reagan!!!

We Love you cutie pie!!! I enjoyed our date to Magic kingdom last month. Dad

Bowling and other fun stuff!

We went bowling today. We all had a good time, even Kinsey. She helped me push the ball down the lane a couple of time. Then I had to catch her before she ran down the other lane, but was late, and slipped and fell on my butt! Then Kylie went to a sleepover, Reagan on a Date with Dad, Me and Kinsey went home and a friend came over with her son and played with Kinsey and chit chatted with me. And i worked on the photo's and blogged! Yeah.
Last night we had pizza at the pool before Chris went home teaching. It was really nice to have Chris there so I could actually swim with the other girls. :0)
Mother's Day went well, we had a really good time at Mercedes and Enrique's house. Thanks! Kylie and Chris were jumping off the dock, the top of the dock! WoW. Reagan and Kylie barely got out of the pool while we were there, for 3 hours. We took the cute pic of the girls for mother's day for the grandma's.
Kinsey has had one thing after another with her this month. Runny nose, Pink eye, virus with high fever and vomiting, rash, now runny nose again. Poor baby. Besides the fever, she has been so good! I just love her! I just love all my girls! I just love my Family!

Kylie!

So back in April I got to go to the zoo with Kylie!! FIELD TRIP. I turned in my slip right after school to be sure that I got in! We had a great time and Kylie keeps asking to go back. I'm sure we will with the rest of the clan this summer. They have a great splash pad area, cause that's why you go to the zoo right?!? But it wasn't too big, so it only takes a couple of hours in case your little ones get tired and it's fairly close too. And my favorite part was the aviary. It's so cool having the birds come right up to you. Kylie enjoyed feeding the Giraffe's. Glad I got to have that one on one time with her. We don't get much of it. Love ya Kylie!
Oh, and her class had a special Mother's Day breakfast for all of the mom's. I was able to attend that as well. Thanks MoM! I've really enjoyed watching her grow this year. Learning to become a better friend, how to work a little bit harder and stick with it even if it's tough. And learning to read. She is SOO GOOD! She's on the principal's list for knowing 200 sight words. Pizza party next week for her to celebrate. I'm so proud of her.

Easter!

Happy Easter! Our Savior is Risen today! And while there was General Conference on this weekend, we didn't get a chance to listen to much of it. Thank goodness for DVR!!!! I am so very grateful for this day and age in which we are so very blessed to live in.
We started out the weekend with some old friends and their little girls' 2nd birthday party.Girls had a fun time. So did we. Chris enjoyed watching a Magic game he had missed. Again, thanks to DVR lol. We worked in the yard and got the fence in and the castle up for the girls and the dog. Now to get some grass down to keep the dirt out of the house. Maybe today :0)
Sunday we had some family over, it came in waves so we weren't so overloaded at once. So that was nice. And good yummy food to share. We love you all. And the girls were so excited to have the Easter Bunny come, find and dye eggs. Thanks to all who came! We love you all. Hope your EAster was good too. WE didn't take pictures of the girls sitting pretty in their dresses, but we will. My mom got the girls dresses this year. They all were so cute and just perfect for each of them! Thanks Gram.
