Our nightly walks.

I've been taking the girls walking around the neighborhood lately. But I've ran into a problem as Kaylen wants to ride and I only have a single stroller. I decided to get out Kaylen's wagon to see if I could pull the girls.



This posed another problem as Laney is still a bit wobbly when sitting up and the seatbelt is pretty low in the wagon. So, we got one of Bryan's belts and tied it around her chest. Problem solved. Off we went. They loved it!







It doesn't look pretty but it worked.

Laney - 8 Months

Laney 8 Months



- Getting mobile. Not crawling but she some how figures out how to get where she wants to be
- Really loving watching her sister. She's perfectly happy as long as Kaylen is running around somewhere in her view.
- Could be rotten. I did nothing to add to this I'm sure. I blame her chubby cheeks. I'm unable to stop kissing them.
- Weight 18 lbs. She seems to have to go to doctor at least once a month so we get monthly weigh-in's.
- Size 4 diapers (Kaylen wore size 5 - 6 months ago)
- Size 12 month clothing.
- Since we finally moved Kaylen out of the bed - she is trying to work her way in the bed. Not good.
- Still my favorite Laney Bug.

Happy Birthday Charles!!!

Hope you have a great day!



Thanks for being the best Brother-In-Law to me and awesome Uncle to my kids.

We love you even if you are old now.

Kelly, Bryan, Kaylen, and Laney

Eviction Day

After 3 years, 2 months, 2 weeks and 1 day. We have finally kicked everyone out of our bedroom. The girls went to Gaga's house while I fixed up both rooms so when they returned they could start sleeping in their own rooms. LB has always been in her own bed but K is another story. Night time has always been horrible with her. I gave up long ago and we have just had her in our bed.

When they got home yesterday we showed her the new room and she loved it. She was in there all day and played, napped, and went to bed in there. I stayed with her until she went to sleep but she didn't protest which was awesome. They both got up around 2:30 and went back to bed, then up once more around 4:30-5:00. Not bad for cold turkey. I still need to take pics and post of their rooms all fixed up. Before they get trashed.

Last Whoorah!

This was the last weekend before school starts. We thought we would get our cheepy blow up pool out and go for a swim and cook out. The water department threw a kink into the plans and the water looked like it came straight out of the lake but...you try telling a 3 year old that you can't swim because the water is brown.



I'm again having a hard time not eating her toes off. They are tooo cute.


That tongue - it is always out. I don't know what to do about that.


Kaylen left her bathing suits at different places so I dug through boxes and found this one from last year. It is an 18 Month in size. Crazy kid. ***Notice the brown water****






Kaylen had to get her glasses on because Little sister had hers on.

More Birthday Parties

This month we went to my friend Carrie's youngest's birthday party. It was at such a neat place. It was at a gymnastics place and they had the whole side, which is dedicated to young kids. I thought Kaylen might be scared after the way she acted at Dylan's party but she LOVED it and she had a total blast.

This is Carrie, holding LB. Carrie has been an inspiration. She has two boys 5 and 3 and just fought a 6 month battle with colon cancer. I couldn't imagine facing that with such young boys. She came through it with such grace.






See - we do feed her.


LB had fun also.




Kay's OCD kicked in and she had to put the foam back in the container.




This little boy totally cracked me up. His mom is amazing also and we had fun laughing at him getting stuck like this. Then we helped get him down... not before taking pictures of course.
