Summer Time!

You'll have to forgive me for slacking on my blog again...but boy have we (the girls and I) been having a GREAT summer!! We've been trying to stay as busy as possible with going to the park, having play dates, going to Paradise Park, Max and Ruby at the Midland Theatre, the library, Deanna Rose Farmland, and playing outside. With Daddy working LONG hours, the girls and I are getting LOTS of QT and I have to admit (although at times, I might seem a little crazy) I am LOVING it!! Kynly is trying to walk and getting into everything!! She is starting babble all the time and making out some true words!! Karly started dance class and is loving it!! She also got her first "real" haircut. I know, she was due but I hated to cut it at all. Along the way, I haven't been the best about taking pictures, but here's what I've got thus far...

Karly holding Andy and Jackie's new little man Austin! He's too cute!


Max and Ruby at Midland Theatre - we all went!

Karly's 1st Haircut! She was such a BIG girl!!

The Final Product and one HAPPY little lady!! ; )

And Miss Kynly Lynn getting SO big too!

Hope you're enjoying your summer as well!! Much love to ALL!!

Happy Mother's Day!

My GIRLS!!!

Kynly Lynn

Karly Nicole

So we've started a NEW tradition on Mother's Day and this was the 2nd year of celebrating Mother's Day at our Aunt Pat's/Aunt Grandma's with LOTS of family!!

Karly and her cousin Nicole (Wow, we're in trouble!)


Kynly behind the wheel, you'd better watch out!!

We all love getting to hang out and visit with cousins, second cousins, brothers, sisters, nieces, etc... My Aunt Pat and Uncle Tom do a wonderful job hosting this celebration. Last year, the weather was not so cooperating, but this year it was BEAUTIFUL!! Karly loved running around, going on golf cart rides, and playing with everyone. Kynly spends everyday at their house, so she was very comfortable with her surroundings.

All together, my Mother's Day was PERFECT!!

Couldn't be a more proud Momma!!

Hope you had a LOVELY Mother's Day!!

Daddy got his...

TRUCK back!!

Yea!! Not sure who is more excited, Daddy or Karly, to have his truck back...Stephen made the decision last Friday to go back to Pyramid. With all the storms in the area lately, Pyramid has been swampped!! We are all supporting him and believe in him!!

We know our Daddy can do it!!

Wishing you the best of luck at your new adventure Daddy!!

We love you bunches and are so proud of you!!

Much Needed Update

Yes, we are ALL still hanging in there and busy as ever!! Things aren't slowing down at our house much these days and now that the weather is FINALLY starting to get nice, I would assume that we will become even busier!! But busy is a good thing because it's making the time till summer will be here goes faster!!

Only 28 more days of school till then, not that I'm counting, ha!

The hair just won't stop growing!! It's still dark and oh so curly!!

So Kynly turned 7 months on Saturday...she now has two teeth, can say Momma and Dada (when she feels like it), loves to sit up and play, is starting to "want" to crawl, but isn't quite there yet, and is sleeping in 5 hour runs at night. So on a good night I only have to get up once...those are few and far between it seems!

Karly's quite the SASSY girl!

She is our little Miss grown smarty pants. And so much for Stephen and I to be able to have any type of discussion when she's around. All you hear is "Excuse me, excuse me...I have an idea" And to think we're going to have 2 of those running around soon, ugghhh!! : )

Their unconditional LOVE for one another continues to AMAZE me on a daily basis!! Makes me want a sister that's for sure!! That's really all for now. More pics to come soon!! I got new Spring dresses and am going to try and get them in for a professional photo shoot soon!!

XOXO Much Love! XOXO

Happily Ever After

These days we are living happily ever after!! Me as Fiona, Daddy as Rumpelstiltskin, Karly as Shrek and Kynly as baby Shrek. We recently even added a couple more members to our family. I found the baby Shrek dolls on the Internet and HAD to order them for Karly!! I had originally ordered the girl doll, Felicia, from Amazing Plush.com, and I was super excited to give to to her. As she was opening it, we realized they had sent us the boy doll instead, Furgus...now you tell me how you take a toy away from a 2 year old and send it back to get the "right one"!! So instead of sending it back I emailed the company and the sent us the girl doll for FREE!! Score, BONUS!! So now Karly has all three triplets, only Kynly has to play the part as one of them!! Karly literally takes Felicia everywhere with her and Furgus now belongs to Kynly...what a nice sissy to share huh?!! Life is good...just waiting on the riches!!

My Girls!

Time is flying by and my girls are getting so big!

Stephen and I were just talking last night how Karly is not our little baby anymore...as we looked at how big her feet are getting! There is absolutely NOTHING this girl can't say. She amazes us everyday with her every growing vocabulary. I am thinking dance classes are in our near future. She LOVES to sing and dance. Shrek is still the BIG hit around our house. We are down to only watching it only once a day though, not 25 so that has been nice! Her new favorite phrases are, "That's a deal?!" (when she's trying to wager to get her way), "Oh my goodness!", "Sure I can?!", "I'm so glad you're here!" Too much love for this girl!!

And Miss Kynly Lynn, now 5 months old, is getting to be so much fun!! She is constantly smiling, laughing out loud, talking, singing, screaming in excitement, rolling over, and jumping to the sky in her jumper! Her hair will NOT stop growing and is so beautiful. It is super curly right after the bath and then calms down a bit. She is doing great at Aunt Grandma's house and they LOVE having her. I think Uncle Grandpa might be in love with her too!! We are grateful to have such wonderful caretakers for her!

What an exciting adventure we have ahead of us!!

We are blessed with some of the greatest girl around!!

Welcome to MY world!

So I get to work yesterday and my co-teacher, para, and I were talking and all of the sudden she says, "Holly, do you have on two different shoes?" Okay people, these weren't just 2 shoes that looked the same, but were different colors...these were 2 TOTALLY different shoes!! Not the same color, NOT the same style, and really NOT even the same height. I should have totally noticed, but never did!! After we got through the laughter, all I could say was "Welcome to MY world right now!" I know things will get easy, but come on!! I'm a little overwhelmed with just LIFE in general right now! Please pray for me!! : )
