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.

First Birthday!

Kinsey! WE are soo very Blessed you have you. Happy First Birthday. She fell 3 times that week, 3days in a row and scraped her little nose in the same spot each time :0(. But she's a tough cookie. Hugs and kisses from mom and she's right back at it! She loves shoes and book. She is really gentle with books too, which is surprising for this age. She adores her sisters and the rest of the family. Especially her Gram. She enjoys being outside. Slides are fun and so are puppies! We have to get her use to the water again for the summer, but she's gonna do fine. She uses sign language which helps a lot, but she says a few words (I swear I hear them.) Like 'I did it' and 'all done. Kylie told me the other day she wasn't excited to have a baby because I was going to make her throw away stinky diapers, but now she's really glad we have Kinsey. And I haven't asked her to throw away stinky diapers. We love you Kinsey!!!

Computer SAvY

Where is our computer? Where did it go? Oh, it died!! That's what happened. My dear friend Meagan is allowing us to borrow her computer, hinse, no pictures this time. We've been having a lot of fun lately though. Play dates. Warmer weather so more playing outside. Gram moved in last week and the girls are thrilled! Now going through the stuff so I can get my bike out of the garage :0) Yard sale this weekend! Chris's birthday was Monday. Nice to spend sometime with him. I just adore him and he is so much better at showing it then me. But I try. Kinsey will be 1 on Friday. So wild! Love her dearly and so thrilled that she has curly hair!!! Ok, hope all is well. I'll post pictures when we ever get a computer :0)

Christmas Day

Sorry this is late, tried to post pics. but was having trouble at the time and now I'm finally getting back to it.
Dad, Lisa, Stacy, Hollywood, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Reggie, Gina, Aunt Dee, Uncle Adrian, Nate, Desi, Syd, Jack, Honey, Natalie. I sure did miss you guys!!! We enjoyed our time with Chris's family though. Reagan did get that puppy that swims to her, WAy to go SANTA. And Kylie got a camera from SANTA "And I didn't even ask for one, SANTA is SO SMART!" Way to go Santa!! Kylie also got a big roll of paper, which didn't come with nearly as much excitement. Don't know why :0)
The girls got scooters at Mima & Papa's house, which Kylie still asks if she can go outside to ride her scooter. Good food, I didn't have to cook anything tehe. I tried to help clean up but I have this little girl who gets into things she's not supposed to when she isn't at home in her secured area. Thanks Kinsey :0)
We went to Grandma Judys for dinner and again had good food and got to hang out with their favorite uncles again. Kyle and Jared. We got to see their Great Grandma Nena, what great presents! An awesome pink coat that Kylie has been wearing everyday since it's been in the 40's in the am. Thanks Nena! And more Barbies, delicious smelling gingerbread GIRLS and so much more fun stuff to play with. Thanks everyone! Kylie bought a barbie with her money from Aunt Dee and Uncle Adrian and Reagan bought a zebra and hot pink purse because Stacy has one like that. All of the other money we put toward Disney passes and get to go until April now. WE LOVE DISNEY!! Thanks so much for such a blessed Christmas. I hope yours was just as good or better!

Walking Already?

Yes, Kinsey was 10 Months on the 12th of this month, but she started walking on the 5th. She is right on schedule for our girls. Kylie was the day she turned 10 months, Reagan a week before that. So let's get ready to keep everything a little higher, stairs blocked off, and so on. She is so proud of herself. Clapping now and started high fives a week ago. Daddy was the first to get one of those. :0) I love when she growls back at you too. Had to take her out of church today because was so loud talking and squealing. So we kicked a ball around, she was right on with that too! What a fun lovin girl she is. LOVE IT!!

FINALLY!

Christmas began on Christmas Eve with my side of the family. Jared and his girlfriend Chrissy and my Mom (aka Gram) came over. Gram sure did fill the bottom of our bare tree!!! We were also blessed to have Chrissy's Dad, and 3 other friends from church come over. Good food and good fun. And because the girls got to bed late and passed out on our way to drop off our 11th gift for our neighbors, we got to sleep until 8 on Christmas!!!
I asked the girls to hold up their gift high so I can see them, "No, Higher Reagan" She sure did try :0) Aren't their dresses pretty, Thanks Gram!
And do you see Kylie's puppy, well Reagan got one too and thought it was so cute. I had to tell Kylie that she was getting one because she wanted to buy one while we were shopping with Hollywood in VA after Thanksgiving. Well, Reagan had asked for this puppy who swims to you from Santa. On Christmas morning I get woken up at 8 by Reagan saying (in a really stern upset voice " Mom, I didn't want the puppy that barks and wags it's tail, I wanted the puppy that swims to me. Santa didn't bring me a puppy that swims to me." Me "Well, did you go downstairs and look to see if Santa brought it to you?" R-"Yes and it wasn't there" M-"did you open your present from Santa" R"I did't see one" (all of this in a sad voice) M-"Well, let's go downstairs and check. C'mon dad, it's Christmas"

Waiting is the hardest thing to do...

So we have tons of fun for Christmas.. and getting ready for it too! We did the 12 days of Christmas for a neighbor girl and her family. The girls had a good time running up and dropping it off. Many a nights I had to do it because they had glass doors and sometimes went to bed late. Once Reagan went up there and the dad was right there on the phone at the door, then another time we drove by and they were looking for their present. Goofballs! We plan on doing this again each year :0)

We also got to decorate our house, KYLIE LOVES THAT. "Let's put that here, and this there, and oh this looks good here" I finally had to say that the decorations had to stay in the house, once I found them in the garage several times.

We got to get together with some neighbors and decorate ginger bread houses, though Reagan ate pretty much all of her decorations. I should have taken an after picture, sorry bout that. I'll try to do better, my new years resolution. My first one I've really made :0)

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree

Okay so we are not allowed to get a fake tree, only real or Chris won't touch it. So the traditional christmas tree hunt was made to good ole Home Depot. We usually get a Frasier Fir but tried a Douglas Fir this year because of the fragrance and yes, a cheaper price. BOY was that a MISTAKE! It has shed soooo much. I have swept up 7 + dustpans full of pine needles and only more are falling off each day. When we were hanging ornaments we were basically stripping the needles and leaving sticks. SO SAD. Definitally going to get a Frasier Fir for future references!
