(Sorry, didn't know I couldn't flip the image around)

Your Mark, Get Setty, Ready, Setty Go!!!!!!!

I have been trying to capture this for awhile now. It is so hilarious!
Just wanted to share!
:o)

Hard At Work :o)

Just noticed she does this with her tongue when she colors. So cute!!!! She was hard at work doing her homework for the night!
We are so proud of our little Kindergartner!

Been A Bit Crafty Lately!

Charlie's Name Frame Up Close (if you click on it you can read it if you want)

Matched her room quite perfectly!

Finally got Kenzie's step stool made.

Think it turned out pretty good

Love me some butterflies



I have been a bit crafty here lately. I actually made another name frame for Brady, our good friend Rick's little boy but forgot to take a picture. It turned out really cute too. Maybe I will try to get a picture of it soon. And I of course had to make my new little niece a name frame and finally got around to making Kenzie her step stool . I have had it forever and just never painted it. I felt so bad, very happy that it is done now.

Where does the time go??????

6:40 a.m. and her special plate and special bear I had when I was little.

She picked her outfit for the first day. It just happened to match her new lunch bag!

Found her locker and was pretty proud

Just being Sydni right off the bat. Aiyanna is pretty shy so hopefully Sissy will spice up her life a bit. ;O)

Picking her up after school. Went pretty smooth!!

Sydni's own words about her first day of school.


Well, everything went GREAT today. We all took her to school and walked her into her class. She was a champ and put everything where it belonged and sat right down and started coloring. She made a new friend (Aiyanna, sitting next her in the photos). She said she loved school and can't wait to go back tomorrow.

Dad asked if she was the tallest kid in the class and she animatedly said "YES" moving her hand from head to toe, "My teacher said I was the longgggest kid in class and had the biggest feet!"

What a milestone!!!!! I didn't cry at all dropping her off. I almost did driving to school but finally lost it after we got home and I was looking at the pictures. I just don't know how 5 years have already gone by!

Please enjoy sharing this wonderful day with us!

The Circus Is In Town, The Circus Is In Town!!!!

Watching every move ! (In the beginning!)

Enjoying their $12 each cotton candy that came w/ this fabulous hat.
(Yes, that's right....$24 for 2 cotton candies)

Our little clowns!

Cutie Pie!

We took the kids to the circus this afternoon. It was actually really good, now I'm not sure that they can claim "The Greatest Show On Earth" anymore, at one time maybe, but not so sure these days w/ all the great stuff you can see in Vegas. But it was really great. They had a blast and Mom & Dad were even able to enjoy it.

Could My Kid Be A Bigger Mess?

Sound asleep standing between couch and end table!

This poor kid may be a more accident prone 2 year old than her big sister was. Notice the black eye still, the skinned elbow from falling off her bike and the blister on the foot that needed a band-aid.
And she has been waking up at night and just staying awake for hours at a time. This morning she woke up at 5 am and never went back to sleep, hence...... falling asleep standing up!!!!!
What a mess my little Kenzie Cole is!!!!

Gotta Love Her!!

Well, Miss Kenzie beat herself up good. She fell off our bed yesterday and landed on the corner of our nightstand. I suppose we are lucky it was only this bad. It looks even worse now. It is turning red and purple now. My poor baby!!!!

XOXO for her!
