Cooky Keisel Clan

A few of her favorite things

2012-01-05T09:53:00.001-08:00

Kayla loves to steal her sisters' slippers and wear them around the house. She also LOVES to give out scuzzy looks if you can't tell.

The other peeping Tom during my shower

2011-12-24T11:48:00.000-08:00

Santa going to the bathroom. This is incase he has to take a potty break at our house. I am supposed to leave the shower curtain open so he can see it and laugh. Yes, the big circle with a line through it would be his rear end. Addy informed me that Santa is fat so he has a really big bum!

Those were the days...

2011-12-24T11:46:00.001-08:00

When I didn't have to shower with a GIGANTIC picture of Addy staring at me the whole time. Kind of an uncomfortable feeling. Yet, I am impressed with Addyson's artistic abilities.

Jolly Old Saint Nick!

2011-12-03T13:26:00.000-08:00

Tis the season

2011-12-02T18:53:00.000-08:00

This pile of stuffed animals is ridiculous!! So, to help take care of some of the clutter we talked our girls into donating a bunch of stuffed animals to the less fortunate. I am so grateful for this time of year and love when my girls enjoy doing different forms of service.

I really do feed my children

2011-11-29T16:27:00.000-08:00

You would think I don't ever! Seems like all they do is sneak food!

Goodnight Rylee

2011-11-27T19:18:00.001-08:00

Rylee promised she wasn't tired and wanted to read one more book. This is what she looked like less than five minutes later, snoring like crazy!

We love having girls!

2011-11-27T07:42:00.000-08:00

Girls with lots of curiosity and lots of hair. Poor Addy! This picture is after a half hour of Bryan trying to untangle it. I honestly don't even know how she did it.

Pumpkins!

2011-10-11T17:59:00.000-07:00

My kids LOVE going out to this little place in Hooper and picking their own pumpkins out of the pumpkin patch. $5 an armful!! What a deal.

From piles to organized in no time!

2011-09-13T18:10:00.000-07:00

I was so tired of all of my girls school papers and stuff all over my counter so I decided we needed a change. I saw something like this at a neighbors and decided that I needed something like that to organize everything so here you go!

E is for elephant

2011-09-09T10:33:00.000-07:00

Rylee's new glasses

2011-09-01T09:55:00.000-07:00

First days of school!

2011-08-30T07:12:00.000-07:00

They are super excited for kindergarten and "kiddy" garten preschool.

Seems a little backwards

2011-08-18T08:38:00.001-07:00

Happy 24th!

2011-07-27T17:17:00.000-07:00

We enjoyed the longest parade ever on the 25th. We went to Ogden's parade since my mom help with their ward float. The float was great, the parade was hot but it was fun.

Beautiful!

2011-07-21T13:39:00.001-07:00

Addy loves putting on her own makeup, I don't understand the blue nose but she thinks she looks beautiful.

I love chocolate chip cookies!

2011-07-19T15:24:00.000-07:00

2011-07-19T10:56:00.001-07:00

This free digital scrapbook customized with Smilebox

Mmmmmm....

2011-07-06T11:59:00.000-07:00

Who doesn't enjoy frosting and eating cookies!

Yippee!!!!!!!

2011-07-05T15:42:00.000-07:00

Rylee has finally decided that she wants to learn to write real letters not scribbles, five minutes later she did this by herself. Absolutely no help, not even with what letter comes next. Hip hip hurray!

Towers are built...

2011-06-27T10:02:00.000-07:00

Towers are built, cannons created, bombs stock piled, and they are ready to go! The war is ready to begin, I wonder which fort will withstand the pressures of war.

Stuck for good!

2011-06-13T15:59:00.000-07:00

This would be Addy screaming because she was stuck in the baby swing! After 15 minutes of prying her thighs centimeter by centimeter she is finally free!!! She really didn't like it when I told her she's stuck but I'd bring her food.

Oops!

2011-05-28T10:12:00.000-07:00

At least Bryan is safe, and we have insurance!

Ducks for breakfast!

2011-05-20T06:57:00.000-07:00

Apparently the ducks like our front yard! At least we finally got rid of our old hamburger buns.

Earrings!

2011-05-12T19:14:00.000-07:00

How cute!

2011-04-30T18:14:00.000-07:00

Butterflies!

2011-04-29T17:50:00.000-07:00

We have successfully hatched a butterfly. You probably can't tell but it is in it's cage, sitting on a paper towel full of sugar water. The weird thing is the red mark on the bottom of the cage right underneath the chrysalis, after birth??? Weird!

I love coloring eggs!

2011-04-22T19:33:00.000-07:00

This year Addy invited her friend, we had a lot of fun!

Moonsand

2011-04-21T13:40:00.000-07:00

What a weird invention!

Apparently...

2011-04-21T08:19:00.000-07:00

It's time to lower the crib. She also decided to learn to crawl up the stairs today!

I love spring!

2011-04-16T11:02:00.000-07:00

Every spring it never fails I come up with a project for the year. This year I decided I wanted to change all of our flowerbeds! Bryan is so excited he can hardly stand it.

So much for fresh air

2011-04-14T18:23:00.000-07:00

I thought Rylee was outside playing on her scooter, when I went to check on her, here she was! She had climbed into the car and was messing around. At least it wasn't hot and it was turned off.

Almost!

2011-04-14T11:34:00.000-07:00

Kayla almost made it out of the fort my grandma made for her to sleep in, unfortunately she fell asleep first.

The worst part...unpacking

2011-04-10T19:23:00.000-07:00

We had a BLAST in St. George over spring break but man do I hate unpacking and catching up on laundry!

5 hrs in the car...

2011-04-10T15:21:00.000-07:00

Will do wonders for my fuzz buckets hair.

Happy birthday, hope you are enjoying St. George!

2011-04-09T08:33:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday (Saturday) Rylee!!!

2011-04-03T13:58:00.000-07:00

How cute

2011-03-30T08:36:00.000-07:00

I just love the way babies fall asleep. Apparently while awake she was kicking back and relaxing with her feet up on her bumper and taking care to cover herself before her nap. Or maybe it was the screaming and thrashing that was involved that caused her to end up this way. Either was I think she looks super cute!

Bryan's derby car (truck)

2011-03-30T07:36:00.000-07:00

He would have came in second but there was only a first place. He filled it full of c batteries to weigh him down

My girls live to paint their own nails!

2011-03-25T16:20:00.000-07:00

Happy St. Patty's Day!

2011-03-17T06:55:00.000-07:00

Hopefully you were lucky enough to have a leprechaun sneak into your house and do some naughty green tricks and accidentally leaving behind a few coins and magic dust where he performed his tricks! What a mystery!!!

Worth it for sure!

2011-03-13T18:08:00.000-07:00

Wow! I've always considered spending big bucks for a good straightener but never thought I could justify it. I finally did, I broke down and bought a Chi and it did an amazing job even on Rylee's little fuzz bucket!

Addy's first "real" haircut, not a mommy trim

2011-03-11T10:11:00.000-08:00

I love sweet potatoes!!

2011-03-11T07:40:00.000-08:00

She can be sweet!

2011-03-10T08:05:00.000-08:00

Kayla is sitting up so well now. She is also being a good little girl while I cut vinyl for some people. She's fascinated with the sticky back of my transfer tape.

My girls love to paint and color

2011-03-07T17:04:00.001-08:00

Clarke Planetarium

2011-03-03T13:53:00.000-08:00

Sweet Martian face Addy and way to move right as I took the pic Kayla!

Hope Crayola was right!

2011-03-02T14:23:00.000-08:00

I read that it should wash off without a problem, I'm crossing my fingers that it will!

I love my cousin!

2011-02-25T10:44:00.001-08:00

Benson was kind enough to help me put on his hat over and over and over again!

They still like them

2011-02-21T06:21:00.000-08:00

Santa gave them each a Dr. Suess character stuffed animal and they still are playing with them all the time!

It's about time we get some snow...

2011-02-20T14:58:00.000-08:00

Look who we found up skiing!

2011-02-18T15:26:00.000-08:00

Silly Rylee!

2011-02-14T19:50:00.000-08:00

Do you ever look at your kids and just smile? I do when I look at rylee because she usually looks like this: crazy hair, messy face, messy clothes... and always full of mischief!

How to know you're skinny:

2011-02-13T16:28:00.000-08:00

You know your skinny when you can fit your waist in the leg hole of
your underwear and not know it

Addy's valentines box

2011-02-13T08:38:00.000-08:00

I covered the box and did the hot glue. Addy did everything else, covered the legs, cut out everything, glued on eyes, nose, covered antennas, etc. What a crafty little helper!

The back

2011-02-13T08:35:00.000-08:00

Oops!

2011-02-12T20:03:00.000-08:00

At our family movie night for our ward I walked over to see what Rylee was doing and this is what I saw. Apparently her pants were a little big.

What a cute group!

2011-02-12T20:01:00.000-08:00

Don't we all love colored ring pops!

2011-02-11T17:45:00.001-08:00

I'm glad my girls have cousins close to play with.

2011-02-10T12:54:00.000-08:00

Aren't they cute, I can't imagine them not having cousins close to play with.

Not too bad

2011-02-10T12:44:00.000-08:00

For say I have 5 kids at my house, a car seat full of fish food isn't too bad for the destruction caused during babysitting!

She's getting closer...

2011-02-10T12:24:00.001-08:00

She can sit in a hunch for a few minutes by herself. She'll be on her own in no time!

Such a good baby

2011-02-05T07:00:00.001-08:00

Kayla is a good eater compared to my others. I couldn't nurse Addy so she was only a bottle baby. Rylee would never take a bottle no matter what we tried so when I went back to work I just had to put her on cereal. And then there's Kayla, so far she does both wonderful! Bottle 8-4 and me the rest of the time. She sure does like to spit up though!

Man I'm cute!

2011-02-03T10:49:00.000-08:00

Especially when my mom actually gives me a bath and gets me dressed!

Hopefully looks aren't deceiving!

2011-02-02T12:03:00.001-08:00

It looks delicious, haven't tasted it yet but so far it's more successful than last time.

Wish me luck!

2011-02-02T10:41:00.001-08:00

I love making bread but my mom got a wheat grinder so now I have a new challenge, wheat bread! I think my mom has perfected making it but mine doesn't seem to work when I make it at my house alone. Maybe because I'm juggling kids while I make it, maybe because I don't measure super careful, who knows. Hopefully it works better than last time. Right now I'm patiently waiting for it to grow.

I love when babies play with their feet!

2011-02-01T20:10:00.001-08:00

What's cuter than a baby sucking on their toes? I'm glad Kayla's starting to enjoy her feet!

I need suggestions...

2011-02-01T18:53:00.001-08:00

We are considering taking the girls down to Vegas for the monster truck finals but we aren't going to go unless we can find a decent hotel at a decent price. Any ideas? We don't want to be far from the strip or in a scary neighborhood.

Mom! I want a braid like Addyson!

2011-01-31T06:16:00.000-08:00

Yuck!!!!

2011-01-30T14:32:00.000-08:00

Kayla was taking a nap and when I went to check on her she was awake just looking at the ceiling. As I proceeded to pick her up I discovered that while sleeping she spit up (erupted, is more like it) everywhere! If you can't tell this is her soaking wet Boppy, the nasty back of her clothes, the burp cloth that was by her, and the blankets that she was wrapped and covered in. Luckily, she didn't choke on it because there was a lot more than it looks like in this picture. I should have taken pictures of her ears, hair, onesie, not to mention the smell!!! Oh the joys of parenthood.

So much for helping to clean the house!

2011-01-29T13:03:00.001-08:00

So much fun!

2011-01-29T12:51:00.000-08:00

Here's Addy with Mikelle

2011-01-29T12:49:00.001-08:00

Lady Fitness has a kids aerobics class once a month so we decided to take Addy and Mikelle and give it a try. It was a ton of fun!

What a Scrawny nut!

2011-01-28T19:17:00.000-08:00

Rylee was so proud, she put her jammies on all by herself. Unfortunately, she's so skinny she didn't notice that her neck hole was around her waist.

One of our favorites!

2011-01-28T15:47:00.000-08:00

You have to give it a try before you say no. SPAM Casserole. My family loves it. Cook your macaroni, mix everything together (cream of mushroom, ketchup, onion, grn pepper, grated cheese, spam, & cooked macaroni) add a little layer of cheese and throw it in the oven for about a half hour. I use dehydrated onions and peppers and just soak them while my macaroni is cooking. I also keep SPAM in my food storage just for this dish so I always have everything for this meal! This is a before pic hence the non melted cheese.

What a bus! The wheels on the bus go 'round & 'round...

2011-01-28T13:39:00.000-08:00

Heard laughing from the bathroom...

2011-01-23T18:54:00.000-08:00

This is what I found. I'm sure that spray bottle is nice and clean
along with it's contents.

Awesome dinner

2011-01-23T18:26:00.001-08:00

I made this dinner for no real reason

If anybody is still out there....

2011-01-23T11:01:00.000-08:00

I know that my posts have been a little crazy the last couple days, sorry. I have been trying to figure out how to do posts from my phone. I love having a blog but I HATE sitting down at the computer and typing forever because I get sucked into the blogging world and don't get anything else done. So after talking to Bryan I decided to do our blog again but it is going to be short and simple posts because I can do them from my phone. Then that way if I do happen to lose a whole years worth of pictures again, I still have something to show for the year. So, sorry for the psychotic posts but I am still getting a hang of using my iphone to do the posts.

I love doing my girls hair! Sometimes curly, sometimes straight.

2011-01-23T10:58:00.000-08:00

Kayla doesn't have much hair to do obviously, but the other two are fun. Rylee's actually got hair curlier than Addy's but she thinks it's cool that she can get it put into ponytails. Addy's really isn't crooked, she tilted her head for the picture.

Yes, another ear infection.

2011-01-22T12:19:00.001-08:00

This is her third ear infection since The end of December.

I'm starting to love my cereal!!!

2011-01-22T09:19:00.001-08:00

I'm amazing

2011-01-21T23:09:00.001-08:00

We love snow

2011-01-21T23:02:00.001-08:00

What big eyes you have!

2011-01-21T22:53:00.000-08:00

To Blog or Not to Blog...That is the ?

2009-09-24T09:10:00.001-07:00

I have recently heard about some horrible things happening to parents who innocently printed pictures of their children and the worker printing those pictures turned them in because those pictures had some of their kids private parts. Long story short their kids were taken away for a month while they were being investigated. HORRIBLE HUH!! They said that the result would have been much worse if the pictures would have been on the internet instead of printed. Who hasn't taken a picture of a nasty diaper or of their kid playing in the bath. We all try and cut out all of the parts but it doesn't always necessarily happen...
Besides that incident I have been considering not blogging just because I never keep up on it and it has become almost a chore instead of enjoyment. I love keeping in touch with everybody but is it really worth the risk? I am heavily considering getting my last couple years of blogging printed into a book and then just dedicating more time to my digital scrapbooking instead of blogging.

If any of you have an opinion or a great place to get my blog printed please let me know.

A Few of Our Favorite Things to Do While Hanging Out..

2009-09-06T12:15:00.000-07:00

My girls really like just hang around our house. Here are a few of the common events going on at our house. Sorry for the ants video, I selected the wrong one and didn't notice until after and it takes so long to upload videos I didn't have the heart just to erase it. At least my girls like collecting bugs so it still fits.

Dancing and Singing, ALWAYS

ANTS- can you see them?

Playing on the swing set

Being a cheeseball and disagreeing with mom

Once again playing on the swing set (don't worry nobody was harmed in this video)

Bear Lake Experiences

2009-09-02T08:29:00.000-07:00

We finally talked Addy into letting grandpa take her for a ride in the tube

Addy and Rylee loved playing in the tube on the beach with their cousin Bensen

Addy learned how to make sand angels

Rylee learned how to fall in the sand

Take a look

2009-08-03T14:29:00.000-07:00

I have created a TON of new bands because I recently discovered an awesome company to get more beads from. Take a look, my link is on the side (Keisel Kreations). Here are a few of my favorites...

Host a Party!

2009-08-03T14:23:00.000-07:00

It's getting to be that time of year. . . boutiques, parties, & fun. Also- starting to think about Christmas ( I know it is disgusting to say).
Anyway, let me know if you are interested in having an open house. It is super easy, you open your house :) and I do the rest. I get you invitations, provide my own tables and usually bring my watches, hair bows, wooden crafts, and I can even bring my stuff to etch casserole dishes (or whatever you want) on the spot. I also have a friend that does super cute earrings. We have actually started to work together to get some matching sets that are way cute.
You get some free stuff and a great discount!

Most of all. . . it is fun to just get together and talk!

Always doing something

2009-07-08T05:53:00.001-07:00

Rylee seems to be always doing something that results in her getting hurt or in trouble. Yesterday, I got her out of the bath and put on her diaper. Then I went to get her sister out of the bath. As I was sitting there talking to Addy, Rylee followed me into the bathroom carrying her "baby" (her cabbage patch baby doll). It took her no time at all to throw her doll into the bath. I hurried and grabbed the baby out and Rylee started to cry because I took the baby out. So I quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped her baby up just like I do Rylee after her bath and handed her the baby. She was satisfied and walked into her room carrrying the doll saying "diaper, diaper, diaper." (Acuatually ipper, ipper, ipper)

This was for Natalie, thanks for the cabbage patch dolls at each of my girls first birthdays. They both still play with them all the time. Rylee's is very nice and clean and Addyson's has lipstick all over it that I can't get off because about a year and a half ago she was really quiet so I went to find her and she was "putting makeup on" for her baby (literally). THANKS! If you have a girl I might have to carry on the tradition.

Better late than never. . . Bear Lake

2009-07-06T11:51:00.000-07:00

The last week in June we went to Bear Lake with Bryan's family, it was a ton of fun. We stayed at the KOA in Garden City. The KOA was an awesome place to stay. They had flush toilets, showers, cabins or campsites, a pool, mini golf, ping pong, pool, hay rides, and a little convenience store. This is the cabin that my family stayed in.

Addy loved hanging out with her Aunt Alisha, she thought that she was as old as Alisha.
This is her VERY mature aunt teaching her how to walk and dance like a chicken. She also taught her how to walk like a gangly looking dinosaur!

The delightful "hayride" went around the campground. It was actually lots of fun. They even stopped and asked historical questions about Bear Lake and gave away candy if you knew the answers.

We had fun playing at the park

Such an accomplishment, Addy is scared of heights.

We had fun playing mini golf. Addy tried hard to do her best, if she didn't think her best was good enough she would pick up her ball and put it where she wanted it. In the mean time Rylee was picking up every one elses golf balls and putting them in the hole for us. I ended up with many "hole-in-ones".

Grandma Keisel helping Rylee

We were each in charge of decorating a hiking stick. I think that Addyson's turned out the best. Both girls had a TON of fun painting them although Rylee's jelly shoes still have green paint on them. Mine was also pretty amazing, I have googly eyes all over my stick because it is my "all seeing" stick. Just holler if you need to know your future.

All of the pictures from the beach (including my gigantic sand turtle) are still with Bryan's parents because of course I forgot to take my camera! I will try and post them later.

Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa Keisel, this trip was a lot of fun. Our whole family really enjoyed it.

Happy 4th of July!

2009-07-06T11:28:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th of July everyone! We had a great 4th. We went to my parent's and went swimming, roasted hot dogs, and watched fireworks. Then we headed towards home and watched Hooper's fireworks before coming home. Once again I uploaded all the pictures backwards and don't want to deal with it, sorry.

I was impressed, Hooper's show was 30 minutes long. They were pretty good.

An great picture of a fountain taken by my wonderful husband.

The kids LOVED the fireworks but they ABSOLUTELY loved when it was their turn to pick the next firework.

Who doesn't love a good sparkler.

Our pyrotechnician

Rylee's expression EVERY TIME I point the camera in her direction

cousins
Notice Rylee's expression

Playing with snappers waiting for the sun to go down.

I LOVE the cabin!

2009-07-06T10:20:00.000-07:00

First off- THANKS mom and dad for letting me hitch a ride to the cabin with my girls while Bryan stayed home and worked. We had a ton of fun.
One of the mornings this mommy moose and baby were licking the salt lick. The baby was SO small. Sorry the pictures are crappy I was taking them through the window so I didn't scare them away.

How tender. . . Sisters holding hands walking together.
(yes I told Addy to hold her hand so I could get a picture :( )

Addyson loves going in the outhouse. Rylee loves wondering down the path and bothering whoever is in the outhouse.

While we were there we moved the fire pit and put pavers around it. Doesn't it look nice.

Addy always had to make sure Grandpa's tractor was clean.

It was so nice when Addyson would sit and push Rylee, they would both sit and be entertained for a long time.

Addy helped us clear all of the little tree starts out of the clearing in front of the cabin.

What's camping without a treat. Rylee LOVES her oreos.

I think every Rhino ride ends in a nap. Don't worry- Rylee is still alive although it looks like she couldn't breathe.

Rylee sweeping the dirt, what a helper.

The girls helping Grandma, we pulled up the old deck while we were there so that we can build a new one this summer.

Happy Father's Day!

I just want to let Bryan know how much I love and appreciate him. He is the best dad out there. His little girls love him to pieces and so does his wife. He is always there for us and will always put up with me. Thank you for always being so patient with all of us, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Sorry Father's Day isn't going to be exciting but hopefully you will have fun using your new dutch oven stuff! (and your new car)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all of the men out there!!!!!

We love you Bryan.

Our First Dance Recital... What a Treat!

2009-06-09T14:53:00.000-07:00

Addy was LOTS of fun to watch at her recital. During the dress rehearsal she did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Her teacher even went up on the stage and tried to get her to dance. I was laughing so hard I couldn't even hold the camera. At one point her hat was bugging her so she took it off and came and handed it to me on the edge of the stage. Then on her way back she tripped over her neighbors tea cup and saucer and broke it. Between breaking tea cups and using her neighbors tea cups- I think she managed to make 3 out of 8 girls cry during one little dance. She had two recitals that were exactly the same. She did a little of the dance the first night and even more of the dance the second night. If she would have had about ten recitals we might have seen her do the entire dance seeing how much she improved each night. Of course there are MANY other things I would rather do than sit through a dance recital. Thanks to all of the family that came and supported Addy, she really LOVED having you see her dance (or stand there).

Here is a BUNCH of pictures so that I feel nice and caught up with our blog.

Addy and Spencer enjoying an Easter egg hunt at our house, sorry you were sick Trevor!

Some cute vinyl letters I cut out for my mother-in-law. Sorry it's sideways.
I got this cool program that lets me use ALL of my fonts off of my computer instead of having to buy all of the Cricut cartiridges, it is SUPER cool.

Addy- I just thought that I would let you know that sometimes she looks like Punky Brewster when we go to church, oh well, as long as we go, right?

Skiing- Addy's new winter past time. She has absolutely loved it every time. She does really well and loves to sing as she is going down the hill. I have a small video down at the bottom.

My spring blocks, I love them. Let me know if you would like some

Rylee's favorite past time- making a mess of everything.

Lobster- I don't know if you remember Lobster from a few posts ago but he needed a haircut and so Addyson performed this task. She did a great job, I think that he thought he was in the military after she was done.

Before

After

Rylee LOVES to eat everything! It is usually this messy too!

Spaghetti

Rylee loves the bath and so whenever she hears the shower she quickly goes into the bathroom and tried to crawl into the shower with you. She always ends up soaking wet because she doesn't give up until you are out of the shower.

Texturing the wall in my family room. There is a video with the finished product at the bottom. This is now my favorite wall in my house. Addy has quite a few pair of boy undies because you can't get Madagascar or Lightning McQueen in girls. Seeing that she has no other use she has turned the front of her underwear into pockets. Isn't that clever.

What Rylee did while we were refinishing the family room.

Bryan getting ready to primer the family room.

Lobster a few days before his haircut.

Painting the family room and Addy skiing with her Grandpa Barney. I really don't neglect Rylee and we didn't make her sit and walk in circles the entire time we did the family room, just a good chunk of time :)

Good job for getting down to the bottom of this post. I am sorry that some of the pictures are in a weird order, I am still working on mastering what order to load my pictures.

Have a great day!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLEE!!!!

11 Month Pictures

Happy Birthday Rylee! I can't believe that you are already one. It seems like just last week I was trying to figure out what I was supposed to do with a tiny, newborn baby. You have brought a ton of joy to your family, especially Addy- she LOVES her little sister. You have accomplished so much in your short time here, so far you can walk, talk, smile, laugh, clap, crawl (fast), love, brighten a room, cry, melt a heart. . . and more. I love how fast you are learning and growing. I love when you say, "mama" and climb up on my lap.

Good job on getting a tooth before you were one. (Her first tooth broke through yesterday!)

Hope you have a great birthday.

And for our two readers, I have a TON to post but I haven't had much time lately. Soon, I promise.

CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY

So, I went to order the carpet for our basement and. . . we decided to recarpet our whole family room also. Who would've guessed! So I am so sorry that there aren't any pictures but I am living out of my kitchen and bedroom. My front room has three couches in it, my family room has new paint and no carpet, my basement has a TON of stuff from the family room and my garage has my computer and entertainment center. I do have current pictures of "Lobster" and pictures of the painting process but it is going to have to wait because I can't hook my camera up to our laptop and computer is in the garage! Sorry but you will just have to wait to see out AWESOME new textured wall!

This is Lobster, Addy's Valentine from Grandma Gayle.
We will give you updates on her hair growth as it progresses :)

Rylee has started to become a little bit of a pain. She is VERY mobile and is into EVERYTHING! I went into the kitchen today to find her in the middle of a pile of Teddy Grahams, just chomping down on them. The other picture is of her eating her Mac and Cheese for lunch. Of course she had to rub it all over her face and stick her finger into her ear!
