4th of July

We headed to Carlisle for the 4th of July. Carlisle always has a big celebration on the 3rd and 4th.

Here are few pictures of some of the fun things the kiddos enjoyed...

Kyla Reading

Kyla's Baby

Kyla is staring to really enjoy her baby dolls. It is really funny and sweet to watch her interact with her babies.

Should I put her in the bucket?

Sure, It looks like a great place for a baby.

All ready to go. I much prefer the two wheel approach...this way I can see my baby.

Outside for a stroll.

I'm Back

For what it's worth I back from my absence on the blog.

Lots has happened.

So I have a few things to add to the blog.

Here is a very brief and highlighted list:

• Kyla started walking
• Kyla turned 1
• I got glasses
• Colin turned 3
• We sold our house 
• Life is happening...enough said

Check back often to see/read in detail about the aforementioned and many other things. I'll try my best to get this blog updated sooner than later.

Snow in May

Yep that is right, snow in May.

The kicker to this is that just this past weekend I packed all the winter coats and snow pants and sent them to my parents house because we are moving so the kiddos can't even go out and enjoy this really unusual gift of snow in May.

Although I wasn't able to get any pictures of the kids playing in the snow, I did get some of Kyla enjoying the snow from the window.

 This was too cute not to get a picture.

Kyla Talking On The Phone

Kyla loves to play to with my phone. No it isn't a smart phone. It is your standard flip phone.As in she will try and throw a fit/whine so I will let her play with my phone.

Typically I don't let her play with my phone and try to satisfy her with one of Jared's old phones that have been converted into play phones for the kiddos. Most of the time this doesn't work...the kid is just too stinkin' smart.

Well, one particular day she somehow got a hold of my phone and broke it in half. Needless to say I had to get a new phone.

So long story short, I ended up with one of the kiddos play phones as my new phone.

If Jared Willis is anything he is resourceful!!!!

Here are a few pictures of Kyla playing with my new phone while it was still a play phone. If you think it's confusing to you, try explaining to you 1yr. old that this is no longer a phone she can play with.

I think I have a call.

 

Hello!!!

It's for you Mama.

Kyla's 1st Birthday

I went with a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" theme for Kyla's birthday. It was simple, easy, and super cute.

Kyla @ 1 Year

Kyla is One

Yep that is right my baby turned one today.

I have mixed emotions about her turning one.

I love this age it is so fun. The best is to watch Kyla interact with her siblings, her daddy, and her toys. She is becoming her own little person. And she definitely will let you know what she likes and doesn't like.

What I'm morning is the fact that she really is no longer a baby. Not only because of her age but she feeds herself, she entertains herself, she walks, and she can even communicate. And yes I know that babies do some of these things too....but if you are a mom you know what I mean.

Anyways... Kyla is one.

She is technically not a baby anymore.

But she is and will be my baby forever!

Happy Birthday and I Love You!!
Sweet Kyla Grace

Snow, Snow, Snow

We have had a couple snow storms toward the end of February and the first part of March.

Here are a few pictures we have taken of the kiddos enjoying the wonderful God given gift of snow.
