All Of That For A ........


Soda, yes a little drink of my soda, I'm such a nice mom! :)

What Were We Thinking?

Going to the Zoo on the first "warm, hot day" of the year! We are crazy, or should I say Shawnah and I are both crazy! The kids (probably just Kyler) had a good time! Kyler was getting very tired of sitting in his booster seat! It took us 30 minutes to find a parking spot. We only went thru half the park. There were so many people! So this reminded me why I only go and do things like this on Tuesday's (my day off) when everyone is at work!


Kynnedy enjoyed Shawnah carrying her around!


And enjoyed chewing on her strawberry teether!


Didn't know what to think of the train at first!


And of course Kyler enjoyed the train, he wanted to stay on it, but they had another train break down so we got off went all the way back to the stroller!

Trystin & Kynnedy

To think my very first nephew holding my baby girl! He is in love with her! She thinks he is fun to play with too!

T-Ball (Update)

So T-Ball isn't going well, I think they have been able to practice 3 times out of 2 month! Kyler did awesome last time we got to practice (like 3 weeks ago I think). He watched for the ball, went and got it and got to bat and everything! Was so excited he was enjoying himself.

Last night you ask? I have no idea what happen to my child! He didn't want to listen, he didn't want to participate in it at all. Kept coming in to get a drink of water, wanted me then wanted Billy. So I told him he needed to play or we were going to go home, it was his choice if he wanted to play T-Ball wasn't ours. He cried and screamed so we left. We will try next week if it goes the same then I think we are done!
I'm not going to push him, if he wants to play then he can play. Just makes me sad cause he was so excited to go and be with everyone and last night was horrible VERY horrible! I do not exaggerate at all!

Cute

There are no words, but CUTE!!! Even with the bump on her head (learning to walk is hard!)






Flower Garden

Kyler has managed to keep his flower garden growing! He checks it everyday and has been doing great at watering it! There are actually flowers growing!


Tuesday Night At The Game


Billy, Me, Kaitlyn & Kyler went to the Cardinal's game Tuesday night! We were a little cold, but it wasn't that bad!
Kyler did really good, he had 2 things of dip n dots and then cracked some peanuts for Kaitlyn and dad.
He really enjoyed the hat game, he even watched it so good he picked the right hat!
Of course I remembered all day to grab my camera and still walked out the door without it! Good thing I have a camera phone!

9 Months

Kynnedy Grace did awesome at her check up today (yes I know she turns 10 months on the 17th-just running late)! She didn't get any shots this time so that was a plus!
The doctor said that I have a very blue eyed petite baby girl!
Kynnedy weighed 16 pounds, 7 ounces (10th percentile), length 27 3/4" (40th percentile), and her head circumference 17 1/4" (34th percentile)

The Money Egg Goes To......

Kyler!!!! Yes the $20 egg went to him, all the kids looked forever!
Trystin was upset cause Chelsea always gets the money egg and she was at her dads, so he was pumped and the poor guy lost to his little cousin!
Maybe next year buddy!


Easter Places To Go

Holidays are always busy for us, me having divorced parents and trying to get to everyone's houses on time and being able to do everything and being able to visit makes it really hard.

So Saturday we started off our Easter holiday by going to Pa Pa & Tracy's (my dads) house for Easter it was nice out and the kids all got to visit each other and play outside all day!




Sunday, we woke up to the Easter bunny being at our house, Kyler hunted eggs were he left us more than he ever needed!


We got our Easter outfits on and we took off to Grandma & Grandpa's house.

Got to hunt eggs with Delaney and Grandma & Grandpa's house with Delaney, eat and see everyone.


Finally our last stop we went to Karen's house for Easter hunt, we didn't make it there to eat, but was there for a while to visit everyone before everyone headed out for the night.
While everyone made fun of me for dressing my son in his outfit! They weren't nice comments either (Uncle Albie & Tommy)!

And The Bunny Comes

He came!

Kaitlyn got some candy, money and movie gift card!


Kyler got candy and a DS game! He was supper excited!


Kynnedy got some clothes and the cutiest tea pot set!


Coloring Eggs

Kyler and Kaitlyn dyed Easter eggs on Wednesday.

Kyler had a ball coloring them with his sister and sticking stickers all over them!

Kyler - Kidney Stone Update

So we went to the doctor on Tuesday. Everything was looking good! Kyler had an ultrasound to see if there were anymore or/and if any of them had gotten any bigger. He was a trooper while getting the ultrasound done. The nurses even hunted down a Go Diego Go sticker for like 5 minutes for him!
The doctor said that it doesn't look like he has gotten anymore if he did it was only a couple (to add to the many in both sides already). He is to come back in a year will look and see if the "big" one they are watching gets any bigger then we will talk about removing it.
He is to come back in a year!

The Making Of...


Kyler's Flower Garden

Friday night (while dad grilled Chicken) we (as in Mom!) dug up all the old dirt and put down fresh dirt and planted 5 different kinds of flowers in here!
Kyler is supper excited for his flowers to grow!






























We will be sure to keep everyone updated on the flower garden's progress!
Note: There won't be to many posts to this if I can't keep Kyler from watering it every 5 minutes!

Favorite?

Yeah so you know how all my Aunts would wait for holidays and "Mandy" come and I'm always asked "Who is your favorite aunt?" Well Guess!

Aunt Karla everytime!


And of course Uncle Guy everytime too! What kid doesn't like Uncle Guy or should I say what kid doesn't Uncle Guy like?

Why Won't Mom Let Me In?

Because if I let you into the kitchen you want to chase Winder and eat dog food! I know it really sucks, but mom is just making sure you don't do the same things as your father did! :)

Always play at the kitchen table if I want to do something? Oh I remember cause I have a little sister Kynnedy Grace that won't leave my stuff alone!
