Just wanted to let you know I published a few posts tonight. I hope you get to check them all out and enjoy! Love ya and Miss ya!

Kinsey

7 months and counting! What a beauty she is. She's eating with her fingers now and holding her own bottles sometimes and trying to stand up. When she sits in the back of the stroller she grabs the front chair and trys to stand up. She loves to jump and has such great balance when I hold her like a cheerleader on her two feet. She loves the pool and can sit in her little floaty now for a few weeks, what fun for me now!!! I can swim hands free! Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't leave her there to just float while i swim, I stay right by her. She has curly hair, which I ADORE! FInaLlY. That's the best thing I got going for me, I had to pass it on :0) She is very patient and tolerant of her sisters and our running around. She is spending her first night in her room with the girls. Let's see how that goes. She sleeps 7 hrs. uninterupted and Kylie and Reagan are sound sleepers so it should hopefully work. :0)

Play Dates!

So with school in and me babysitting a darling little girl Ella, so good and pleased to watch her, we make Monday errand/tidy day, Tuesday storytime day, Wednesday is splashpad/park, Thursday playdate day, Friday is lunch at school day. We've gone to the St. Cloud Lakefront, park, Universal Studios to see Barney, Boat, Friends houses and friends here. Good time! It gives me a time to get to know the moms too. I really love doing the outside activites too! Like the horse back riding with the Pratt's on a Saturday. And now that the weather is BEAUTIFUL the outdoor activities will be even more enjoyable!

Girls...All I really want is Girls!

What fun we've had since school has started! Cheerleading, playdates, babysitting, and exercising. Oh and random Happy Birthday USA dinner parties and neighborhood parades. Yes, In September. But Our neighbors were kind enough to hear us sing "You're a Grand Ole Flag." We enjoyed the cheerleading games this year and the new cheers. Reagan still has her favorite, 'Go Fight Win' cheer. She'll get to cheer with her sister next year so that will be extra cute. Ok, I'm gonna post a few more post tonight since I got the time. :0) I'll get some video of Kylie cheering when I have some memory on my camera.

Kindergarden...

Kylie started school two weeks ago now. CRAZY!!! I Hate how she is gone all day!!! Then it's rush rush rush to get everything done before bed. Tues. is the worst for me with cheerleading and babysitting in the afternoon. But she really enjoys school and her friends. Wish I knew more of what goes on those 7 hours she's gone. She's such a good girl, she has her moments, but I just love her and sissy misser her too! I like hearing what stories she does share with me, like the girl who didn't even ask and peed on the rug at school lol.

Happy Birthday to ME!

SO I'm 28 now. Not 30 though :0) I had not one, but two surprises with my friends there to celebrate with me. One, a party at my house with friends from the local side of town, the other dinner with friends in Orlando. Yummy! Great times with family and friends! I got my video camera working again which I really wanted. Life is good. Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes!

Summer!

We're just having FUN this summer! Aunt Dee came to visit Gram and us this past week and the girls loved having her to play with. Especially Kylie because they had a little dance party in the back seat. We're playing with friends from the neighborhood and trying to something special everyday, even if it's something simple like swimming in our pool, but inviting a couple of friends this time. Chris is refing basketball games now and looking for something more permanent soon now that summer is half way over. AHHH! Kinsey is growing like a weed and eating cereal now. She's doing really well at keeping it in her mouth too! Reagan, plays her little parts and is so into it that she won't even answer you unless you call her by her roll, but may correct you and once you get it right she'll talk to you :0) So funny! But NOT when she sneaks away from the splash pad and goes to the sandbox and doesn't tell you but doesn't answer you! FREAKY. Thank you Heavenly Father for keeping her safe! Me, I'm enjoying my family. I love summer evenings and I'm hoping to get a little more of this baby weight off soon with a few walks and bike rides. And WOW, 10 year high school reunion this past weekend. Didn't go, but I did get in touch with a few lost friends. Oh, I have to buckle Kylie and Reagan in their seats for meals, or they get up and play. Reagan was still playing, and as you see she fell! She's okay. Hope to see them soon. Hope all is well with you!

Yard work

So I'm cleaning the garage, Chris is doing the yard (don't worry, Kinsey is taking a nap and I have the monitor and Kylie and Reagan are playing with a friend in and out :0) And then Chris yells at me to get the shovel, so he's gonna kill something. We have a few black racers that go between our house and our neighbors house, and this doesn't look like one of them. So Chris kills it. Then we find about 14 eggs in our yard. After a little research, it was a baby racer, so we're safe, except one tried to get in our house several weeks ago when I was working in the garden. I came onto the porch and it was about to go into the house where I had left the door cracked a little. That's Florida for ya!

Birthdays!

Kylie had a little pool party for her 5th birthday and we're gonna do the same for Reagan's 3rd tomorrow. Crazy that we have three beautiful girls and one is going to school in a few months. I'm gonna miss Kylie so much when she goes and I know Reagan is too. We're so blessed!!

We're BACK!!!

Had a FABulous time in VA. We were so glad to see my dad, Lisa, Stacy and Hollywood and all the other fam. that allowed us to hang with them or crash at their pad! I loved hanging with Hollywood. She was so helpful with the girls and was there for us whenever needed. We got to hit up the water park in Williamsburg and then treated to a delicious home cooked meal by Aunt Dee and Uncle Adrian. Thanks!

Busch Gardens was eventful since the first 30min. we were there Chris rolled his ankle and was put in a wheelchair. Should have got a pic. of that too! The coasters were cool and I actually got to ride them all! YEAH! Not pregnant and had someone to help watch the kids :0) Thanks Stacy and Lisa! Kylie rode BIG BAD WOLF and loved it. She had to be cool like her aunt Stacy! I think our fav. part, certainly for Kylie was having a pool in the backyard. Gotta get one of those! Dad was nice enough to put us up and take some days off to spend time with us. Love ya DAD! The weather was great! 88 in VA. and 88 in FL. is so different. We were sweating in St. Augustine within the first 5 min. HUMIDITY!!

Love seeing my family though and glad to be able to. The girls were AMAzing!!! one of the best trips as of yet! Glad we got that big car last April. Chris did a great job driving. Thanks babe for taking me to see my fam.!!

It's Our Anniversary

Eight years and counting!!!!! May 18th. We're enjoying lives challenges together and laughing along the way thanking the Lord for all of the 'adventures' we've had. We were able to spend a night and day together without kids, just us. We went to Aquatica Seaworlds waterpark here in Orlando even though it was raining. We were going to get wet anyways! But there was hardly anyone there, that was great. I got to play my favorite game with Chris at dinner, "I love you because..." It makes me feel special because he has some good ones that make me smile. I hope we have an eternity to look forward to. Thanks for all of your friendships and support that's made our happiness possible. Especially the grandparents help with the kids!
