Happy Birthday Kylie!

Kylie turned 7 this month. Next month is Reagan's 5th Birthday. My how time flies! Kylie is a FABULOUS reader. She is a tom boy and Loves to wear the same 3 pairs of shorts over and over again. She got a new bike for her birthday that is just slightly too big but she has learned to manage just fine! She is a great big sister, especially to Kinsey, still haven't figured out why is comes and goes with Reagan though. She enjoys hanging with her friends and playing on the computer. Her favorite color is light blue and her favorite singer is Taylor Swift. We all love Taylor Swift so we made a little trip to Ft. Lauderdale to check out her concert for Kylie and Reagan's birthday presents! We happened to be gone, again, for Kylie's birthday this year so we took her out to dinner with a couple of friends and ....Got her EARS Pierced the Wednesday before. I'd say she had a very exciting birthday. Love you Kylie!

What a Week-end!

Monday we went to Dwight Howard's Picnic for Memorial Day after we went to the pool party here in Harmony. Tues. Chris and I both had productive meeting at the church for the youth programs we're blessed to be part of. Then Reagan had a Water Day with her class on Wed. that we got to go to. That night we all went swimming and then Chris and I went on a date. Thursday was Kylie's fun water day that I got to go to too with my class! Friday I got a Job part-time again at Harmony after a great Father's Day Celebration with my class! Teaching 2nd grade this time :0) Then Friday night Chris got a really good deal for tickets in Ft. Lauderdale for the girls birthday. To TAYLOR SWIFT! Their first concert! What a blast! Gram was so kind to watch Kinsey, who I took to the Dr. on Sat for her ear infections, poor thing. She's acting like everything is fine though, only difference is a fever. What an AWESOME Kid! Then Sat. night we got free tickets to the Silver Spurs Rodeo! Wow. We actually found time to pick up the house a bunch. Today I got to teach Sharing Time for the kids at church and then a yummy potluck. I haven't made dinner all week! Crazy! Reagan has her graduation celebration in the am so I'm excited to see that and go to my first Dr. appt. in my 20th week of this pregnancy. I'll get scheduled for my ultrasound then. So exciting. Gotta go get ready for the last week of school! Then potty training, birthday celebration, and CRUISE coming up.

Gator for Dinner?

Yeah, so I hear the dog barking and see she's facing the neighbors yard, when no one is over there. Thinking a cat is out there I say to her "Oh Zoe is there a cat out there again?" I look toward the neighbors deck and don't see anything then about one foot under Zoe's nose my eyes turn to... Yep, the Gator! Of course it goes under the deck right before the neighbors come out. I show them the pic. I took for proof. Some nice men who work with the neighborhood came and got it out. The Conservation center said to just let it move on. It probably would have skimmed on by unnoticed if Zoe hadn't have been out there. But better her then the kids!

Spring Break!

So glad that the rains came this week and not last, during our Spring Break. So sad Chris couldn't join us. :0( I did have a WONDERFUL time with the girls and hardly spent any money. Kept the house clean because we were out so much and started off on Monday with a heavy cleaning day, First Thing First. Then off for Ice Cream and bathing suit shopping, for my mom and Kinsey only. Forgot to bring my camera there with us, but this place, which I had been hearing about, Literally Makes the ice cream right in front of you and you can even wave the fog from the Liquid Nitro. away. We got two to share between the 5 of us and didn't finish it all. Tuesday it was off to The Magic Kingdom, for our next to last time there. The girls were able to trade in their broken parasels for new ones. They had saved money and used Christmas money to each buy one, but they broke before we even left the park. So glad Virginia remembered us and gave them new ones. Wed. we went to the movies, nothing great, Rango, had to look it up I had forgotten, with a friend of theirs and then the beach which was FABULOUS! They stocked up on shells too. My mom met us there. Then Thursday we hit the water park! And Birthday dinner for Chris and my Mom and Benihana's. Yum. Kinsey had a fever but with the power of the priesthood and some peroxide in the ear's, she's doing GREAT! Pool Party in the hood on Fri and naps for Kinsey and chill time for Kylie and Reagan. We all got to hit a few golf balls with Chris that evening.
The girls did so well that week. Kylie started to get a little greedy, but she got over it quick thank goodness. Sat. We went to Studios at Disney with Chris then a b-day party for Kylie's friend from school, and then Chris and I got a Date! Dinner and a Predators game. They played well. And sharing time went well on Sunday after a wonderful Sacrament meeting. All in all GREAT Week. But again, wish Chris could have been there Monday through Friday. I'm extremely grateful for my job which allowed me to have that opportunity and the support Chris gives me.

ok ok

So this really isn't working out how I thought. The pictures are not posting in the order I'm uploading and describing so hopefully you can make sense of my descritions. Also it only shows the most recent post so go back to the older posts to see the other 2 I did tonight. I'll post more later this week.
In this post we have John Kruk, Frank Thomas, Urban Meyer, Dick Vitale and the girls with Stuff the magic mascot.

Me and Dr J. Yes I was snapping the pic myself so it didn't really work out so great.

ESPN the Weekend

Here are some of our pic's from the festivities this weekend at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The Highlight was definitely Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer...Go Gators! I got my UF hat signed by Tim and Kylie had an ESPN poster she got signed by Tebow, Dr J, Jason Richardson (plays for the magic) and a few ESPN personalities. I'll post more pics in posts to follow. The pictures below include ones of me with Celtic legend Kevin McHale, Chicago Bears legend Mike Singletary (the lady who took the picture didn't know what she was doing so unfortunately it came out blurry). Oh and there's me with ESPN personality Collin Cowherd.

This is how we roll... 3 girls in a 2 seater (they all 3 take turns either riding up top or walking beside and holding the string we tied to it).

Play Dates!

For some reason we got away from these, think it was the Holidays, but now we're back! Monkey Joe's, the two cuties I babysit pony ride, trampoline, and power wheel at their house!, Disney on a teacher work day I was off for but had 5 kids. I couldn't have done it with out Kylie. We certainly took it a LOT slower than usual, and had a great time!
Back in Jan. we had our Winter Carnival here in Harmony. We love our town! Kylie got to do rock climbing, Reagan and Kinsey went sledding, and got to check out the horses they will bring in for lessons.
Enough about the kids, Chris is trying to find a teaching job, he misses it dearly, so prayers are welcome :0) and I love love my job and being with Kylie at school and knowing what's going on there and how to help her, and being able to spend time with Reagan and Kinsey. Who, by the way went #2 all on her own last week and just let me know when she spread it on the seat. LOL. We're potty training tomorrow!

WOW 3 months!

Ok, so Kylie lost her first tooth 3 wks. ago and is about to loose her 2nd. But the teeth behind those are already in. Crazy! So I won't get any of those cute toothless pictures for a little while still. :0) She made Shorthorn Roundup (honor roll, but you have to have all A's in 1st to make it.) And was able to go to an icecream party at school. She even got to go to a 'Daddy Daughter Dance' the Friday before Valentine's. I suggested to Chris to get her a flower from the dollar store or something, and instead he got her a corsage! Those crazy florists are making a killing this month! We are able to enjoy a night out on V-Day thanks to my mom! We went to dinner, go-cart racing, a carousel swing 250ft. in the air, and then a movie! We were out til after 1am. Chris said it was good to feel like a kid again, but... Then he paid for it the next day :0) Work ya know. I had the day off ;-) Tonight he is actually on a date with Reagan. She has been patiently waiting her turn. She wanted to go to the Justin Beiber movie, but I reminded her she's been wanting to go to Chuck E. Cheese, which Chris was glad about, because he's not THAT into Justin B. certainly not as much a Reagan, who is our girly girl with lipstick (lip gloss or chap stick)and magnetic earrings, and hair having to be just right. She's our most sensitive one too. Like when we watched Ramona and Bezus and she cried when Ramona ran away. It all worked out, thank goodness. Ok, looking at the pictures I just put on, all 157 of them, YIKES! It's official we are getting a new camera! Chris has been researching for a few days now and found a good one. Maybe I won't be so embarrassed and post more often, yeah right!
