I have a 8 year old!




Makenzie turned 8 on July 22nd! Crazy to think how fast time has gone by and how much I can remember! It is really like I remember everything with her. I remember going to the hospital to get my labor started... It seems like just yesterday.

This year has been wonderful for Makenzie. She has a great 2nd grade teacher and she improved so much by being in her class. Makenzie also lost her first tooth this year... Actually her first 4 all within a week. I am so lucky to be her mommy and to get to go home to her and her sister's everyday!!

Here are a few fun things about Makenzie....

She is a good big sister
She loves to read (Specially to her sisters)
She is SO good at Math
She is a cuddler
She loves to help me out when I need it the most
She loves animals. Specially the dolphins
She loves to sing and dance
She loves to help with yard work (Even mowing the lawn now!)
And most of all her favorite thing to do it BAKE and COOK!!

Kindergarten Graduate!!





Ashlynn has graduated from Kindergarten. I love that her school did a little program for them. It was so cute. Makenzie went to another school for Kindergarten so she was never able to get the ceremony like Ashlynn. It was super cute, they sang songs, did tricks and made everyone smile. Ashlynn also felt pretty cool and loved with all her family there to support her!

Finally... An update!

We went to Las Vegas in May and I thought it was time to put up our pictures. It was so nice to have a little getaway and have no worries even though it was only 4 days! The kids had a blast and really just wanted to swim all day! Here are a few pictures from our trip! It was a trip we will never forget!

Sean did the sky jump at the stratosphere!

My little Ashlynn!




I can not believe how fast time goes by. Ashlynn turned 6 yesterday! She is getting so big! She woke up super early and came in to my room and asked if it was her birthday! I told her it was and snuggled with her for a little while. I figured I have to get snuggle time in now before she is too old and will not even want to hang out with me anymore! Then we got ready and her and her sisters had to go to Shaunna's. She was excited to go to school though! I got off work early to hang out with her the whole afternoon! She told her Auntie that she thought she was 15 so she was kinda disappointed to find out she was 6! She was thinking that by having the one finger on one hand and having five of the other meant 15 I guess!
Once Sean got home we gave her the presents we got her. She was so happy to get her camcorder! I caught her making videos of herself all night! Once I figure out how to download them I will post a few! I think she may be making a video diary of herself! She makes me laugh! Here are a few things about Ashlynn;

She is so smart! Her favorite book is her Auntie's High School biology book
(Could really read this for hours!)
She is a GOOD sister!
She does not let anyone stand in her way
She will tell you her honest opinion about anything
She can be bossy when she needs to be
She has lots of friends and does not judge people
She loves animals and wants to grow up and save them!
She hates eating meat
Her favorite food is eggs and popsicles
She loves clothes and shoes and likes to look "cute" everyday!

I am so thankful for her being in my life everyday! I would not change a single thing! She has taught me so much and she is just so loving it makes me see the world through a whole new light when she tells me her amazing stories.

Yesterday was also my neices birthday. Rylie is getting so big too! I am so blessed to be so close to my sister and get to see my neice and nephew at least once a week. Ryland is now 9 it is weird saying that my sister has a 9 year old! She is such a smart little girl.
