No words needed... he is just so dang good looking! :-)
(I admit, I might, might.... be a little biased)

Kaitlyn goes to Kindergarten!

Kaitlyn's first day of Kindergarten was August 10th. She is going to Carnelian Elementary, which is so nice, it is only a 10 min walk from the house... however on our way out the door for her first day, her and Mackenzie started fighting over who was going to sit in the front of the stroller.... they both got put in timeout for 10min so I could finish getting everything together.

Anyway, Kenzie sat in the front of the stroller, Owen was in the back in the carrier and Kaitlyn HAD to walk. She complained almost the whole way to school... I was ready to pull my hair out!! It drove me NUTS!! I was glad to leave her, and she was mad at me... so she didn't give me a hug or kiss good bye, I was a little sad, but at the same time happy that she was motivated to leave me, there was no crying and asking me to stay.

Then she got to be the line leader to the class room!! She was supper excited about that! When I picked her up she said the day was short and she had a good time. She just finished her fist week, and is loving it! I'm so happy. Her teacher is wonderful too!

Kaitlyn Swimming!

This summer Kaitlyn had swimming lessons through the city at Alta Loma High School. This program was AWESOME for her!! She had 4 weeks of lessons 5 days a week a half hour for each lesson. there were only 5 kids in her class. We will definitely be doing it again next year.

The first day of class she sat on the side of the pool and cried the whole time... I felt sorry for the teacher. I told Kaitlyn we she was coming every day for 20 days, she better get in the pool! By the end of her 4 weeks, you would have never guessed she was afraid her first day. She can front float, back float, swim to and from the wall with her head under water and everything..... next she has to learn to breath while swimming so she can get out of the 3 feet of water... every time she needs to breath she stops and stands up, so she won't go where she can't touch! It's so cute and amazing to watch her grow in her abilities!

July... a very busy month!

Our last trip to Disneyland before Owen.
The girls are standing in front of the house from the movie UP! They were so excited when they saw it. Our next trip to Disney will be Aug. 24th for Kaitlyn's b-day! It will be Owen's 1st trip at 8 1/2 weeks old.




















These are just some random pictures of Mackenzie falling asleep in odd ways. We thought it was funny! :-) We did a lot of baby prep stuff in June, so no pictures of us cleaning, doing laundry or setting up the crib.. sorry. My due date was June 25th.. but little Owen wanted to wait an extra week.

May

Mackenzie's best friend Sophia had her 3rd birthday at the Sawdust Factory!! They all got to make dog houses, so cute!








We went to Victoria Gardens and played in the fountain a lot this summer, beginning in May. They girls always asked me to take their picture, they are such little posers! :-)













We went to a Mother Daughter lunch with my mom and her church at Central Park. Kaitlyn even won a raffle!!

Again sorry for not having a better picture.. it just didn't happen with my camera, I was mostly chasing my two girls around the whole time!

April.. the month, not my sister :-)

We went to the Sawdust Factory with our MOPS group, it was a lot of fun, the girls made mother's day presents for their grandmas. They turned out really nice, as always!

My poor poor neglected blog....

So in March :


Took the girls bowling! They were so cute and had a lot of fun.








Took the girls to the LA Zoo, they had a lot of fun, and ask to go almost as much as they ask to go to Disneyland!
