Save the Date

I am having a Pampered Chef Party at my House on November 4th. Just wanted to give a heads up to all and any that would like to come. I will post the time and more info when the date gets closer. Ü

New Cement

This is the back side of our house. This pathway goes from the patio to the garage. We poured it this morning and it is going to be so nice.
This is the side of our house next to the garage. We poured this two weeks ago and put the fence up the next day.

Up next is to finish the sprinklers and figure out what to do in the area behind this pad and then we will be ready for grass.......if it is not snowing by then.

Kimberlen's Hair Cut

As I was getting my hair colored Kimberlen kept asking Desiree' to cut her hair. She talked one of the other girls to wash her hair (thanks Monique) and kept bugging Desiree'. Finally when Desiree was all done she let Kimberlen have a turn. Kimberlen wanted it shorter, but that is as far as Desiree' would go and I don't think I would have let her go shorter either.

Pierced Ears

I have been meaning to get Brylee's ears pierced for about a month now and just never make it to the mall. Last weekend on my way to Costco with my friend Karri we took a quick detour to the mall. All of my girls have gotten their ears done around 5-6 months. I just think they look so cute when they are bald with earrings. She cried hard for a few minutes and Kimberlen had gone into the store across the hall so that she didn't have to hear Brylee cry, but reported that she could still hear her even in the store.

Before

During

After

Tears and all....can't really see the earrings but they are there.

Brylee's 6 months

These are Brylee's new pictures! I love her big smile that she shares with us all the time.

She is 27 inches long, which is about the 95th percentile for her age and her weight is 14 lbs 4 oz, which is about the 17th percentile for her age. So she is long and skinny and we love her.

My Crazy Maycee

Our sweet Maycee is just a crack up! She sure keeps us on our toes and waiting for the next funny thing to happen.
This is syrup and waffle crumbs in her hair. When I asked her why she did it her reply was "It was just sticky".

She had a hard time not looking at the camera. She loves her picture taken.

Her bed in her sisters room. Kimberlen had a little to do with this. She wanted to watch t.v. with Sissy.

She is hiding her binky from her Dad in this one.

"Mary, nice belts with your jammies.....and hair"! We went through Kimberlens old old belts and guess who loves them? And by the way, I did not do anything to make her hair do that. Sometimes she wakes up with the craziest hairdo's.

She is such a Cheeser. (spell check says that is not a word, what do they know)

Cartoon Junkies

Looks like these two are glued to the television

Maycee reading a book to Brylee.

Smiling for the picture.

Continuing on the book.

These were great pictures but what really happened was Maycee was looking at a book and I sat Brylee next to her for a second. Next thing Brylee was trying to get the book and Maycee got mad. Brylee pulled her hair and as Maycee moved Brylee tipped over behind her on the chair. I sat Brylee up , took away the book and turned on cartoons so that I could pack the diaper bag for our outing.

Vegas 09

Each year the girls of the family take a trip to my Aunts in Las Vegas. We all look forward to this trip the moment we get home from the last. This year I took Brylee along for the fun. Even though we thought she might have the beginnings of an ear infection she did great. For the most part she had no idea she was on an airplane, but liked getting passed around. She loved the pool and splashing in the water and playing with Grama. I love the picture with Desiree', she looks like she is loving her cousin already.

Fun times just hanging out. The group picture of our amazing "Kaf-tans" and glow sticks is great.

We had some fun with glow sticks....who says they are only for kids??

This is the result of too much drinking. The backyard ended up a mess but we had a great time and we did clean it up at the end and you could never tell we were there.

Thanks Aunt Debbie.

Til next year.........

Catching Up

I had to do some catching up of a few things so that I could post my Vegas vacation. So here are a few things to look at.....okay a lot of things to look at.

YaRd PrOgReSs:

We now have a fire pit and seating.

Getting ready for concrete on South side of the house.

And a walk-way from the patio to the garage.

Sprinkler Pipe! We have almost all the sprinkler pipe laid and ready to be covered up.

PlAYiNg:

Swinging with Papa. Not too safe, but they sure had fun. He figured out a way that they could all swing at the same time.

ClEaNiNg Up:

This is how Maycee likes to help Grandpa.

Eric and his helper Taylor.

Kimberlen and Connor trying to dig.

Byrlee just hanging around trying to stay cool by playing with can of cold beer! She couldn't get enough and got mad when I took it away.

SiLlY GiRls:

First time in a big bed.

This is my little DRAMA Queen! She always has phones, purses, bracelets and sunglasses.

CrAfT TiMe:

These are three blankets I made for a girl at work.

This is the diaper cake that we made for her.

And this is the cake I made for my friends 30th B-Day!
