Life with the Roberts

Snow, Snow and more snow...

2012-01-18T19:52:00.000-08:00

When we moved to Kennewick we were told that the weather over here is similar to Blackfoot, slightly warmer and not nearly as much snow. When it does snow it shuts the cities down funny it is totally true, there is a TON of snow that fell today...I am really kicking myself for leaving snow boots and snow clothes in Idaho. Good thing we will be there in a month and hopefully we will get to play in the snow a little bit while we are there...

just a little something to make you smile... As I said in a previous post that Taylee acts like she is super woman and nothing is going to keep her from doing anything and everything. I do believe Mylee has noticed because as she blessed the food tonight she says "and please bless Taylee that she will behave and get her cast off soon." Oh how I love my girls very much and there is not one single day that goes by that there isn't something that makes me laugh with these three!

Pine Wood Derby...FOR GIRLS?

2012-01-18T18:21:00.000-08:00

For achievement days the leaders decided to do a Pine Wood Derby for the girls. (How fun is that?) They decorated their cars at the activities and yesterday they had the Derby. The girls had so much fun it was mass chaos while we were there but it was entertaining for an hour. One of the sisters said she took all the cars home and coated them with a clear coat there was so much glitter on them that they had to do something. (that made me giggle)

I will have to upload a pic later of KJ and her car..for some reason it will let me but it is side ways...(Sideways pictures drive me crazy)

anyhow while I was there one of the sisters were asking me what Wade and I's plans are if we were going to find a house in the ward or what. I mean we haven't really decided where we want to buy it is more of does the house have things that we really want and when I told her that, she gave me this blank look like hmm....then she said "can I ask what you are wanting in a house." I proceeded to tell her about our home in Idaho and how we loved it but it was little and blah blah blah and this being a home we hope to be in for a while I wanted things like a laundry room. Not just a washer and dryer in a closet with folding doors I want and actual room it doesn't have to be huge, and I want a sliding glass door to my back yard. This sister started to giggle. I said did I say something wrong and she said "no'' I just pictured you as the type that wants granite counter tops and custom cabinets and all the finer things. I said "oh no"... so we chatted for a while longer. When I got home I thought about it the conversation and it really hit me once again. You should NEVER put people in a category because what you may see them as is NOTHING that they really are. That lady that looks super cute with the perfect hair and not an ounce of fat on her may be the most insecure woman ever, or the lady that drives the nice car and has the most gorgeous house maybe struggling with things in her marriage or at her job or having trouble with her kids. The man or woman at the store with the scowl on their face like they hate the world they need to know that someone knows they exist even if you don't know their name. So I ask you all one simple thing. Smile, say hi and make small talk you NEVER know what doing small and simple things will do for a person.

Breaking in the New Year...

2012-01-18T17:51:00.000-08:00

Yes, I said BREAKING... The year has started off great. Wade and I sat down and wrote out some of our goals and things we want to achieve this year. (Most of them are things that we know we will not give up on)... some of mine have been...

getting up every morning with Wade (yes at 5am) to make him lunch and then not going back to bed until I have to get KJ up and ready for school. (yeah so I have gone back to bed a few times)
blogging... since we don't live so close to family any more I find it so important that everyone keeps up on what is happening with us.
taking more pictures
getting my jewelry business going in WA.

so that is just a few...
We have been having alot of fun getting to know the new place we call home. The Tri-cities is beautiful and Mylee, Tay and I have alot of fun going for drives (while waiting for KJ to get out of school) looking for area's that we would like to find a house in. So when I say breaking....I mean we are 11 days into the new year we've all gotten over colds dodge the flu bug (knock on wood). We just get done eating dinner and Taylee was still standing on the dinning room chair playing her leap pad, making her sisters laugh when she starts dancing around she slips off the chair. Wade rolls her over slowly, he was hoping she just hyper extended her arm but we wanted to make sure. By the way she was crying I had a feeling it was broke there is just such a different cry when they are in serious pain. So I am running around the house trying to get socks and shoes so we can go to immediate care. In the mean time the older two go from laughing to bawling. We get to immediate care and sure enough after an hour and some x-rays its broken. The doctor was super nice and decided to wait until the next day to send us to and Ortho. He didn't mention where the break was or anything. So they wrapped her arm and sent us home. Thursday morning we go back in to immediate care and they tell us we have an appointment with Dr. Hsieh at Northwest Orthopedic in Richland at 5 that evening. So Tay was amazing all day. She never complained unless we bumped her arm. So we met with Dr. Hsieh at first they only allowed one of us in the casting room, so I go in with Tay and Wade stays out in the waiting room with the older two. Dr. Hsieh looked at the x-ray and started telling me that Tayee broke her elbow and that it could heal on its own but it would be better if we had surgery (which I had a feeling the night before when the doctor didn't explain anything to us) my heart sunk, I felt my eyes swell up with tears and I started to sweat. I asked the doctor if he could put us in a private room and bring Wade back. So he did and we all decided that putting pins in Tay's arm was the best solution. So in for Surgery we went Friday the 13th. Everything went really well, it was one of the hardest days I have had to face yet. She came out of the anesthesia and freaked out so I got to go back to recovery and help calm her and then we were taken to the Pediatric floor at Kadlec Regional. Through all of this Wade was the strong one, he is the one that held it together better than me. Which I am so thankful last time we had a girl in the hospital I was the one staying strong. I am so grateful for Wade and all he does for the girls and I he truly is my rock and is making me a better person. Moving away from home has helped us become stronger and pulled us closer together. I love him (and my girls) more than anything.

Waiting for them to wrap it after the X-ray Wednesday night.

Waiting to see Dr. Hsieh

in Dr. Hsieh casting room waiting for what we thought was going to be a cast.

Watching Tangled before we go into surgery.

TWO Pins placed in her Elbow. The break was alot worse that Dr. Hsieh originally thought.

Just coming out of recovery.

Waking up she wanted her Mickey Mouse.

We got a surprise visit that afternoon from 3 of the Seattle Mariner players. Dave Valle, Blake Beavan and Tom Wilhelmsen. Taylee could have cared less but I am 99% sure it brightened Wade's day!

This brought tears to my eyes. They have some high school girls that volunteer at the hospital and when one of them heard that Taylee loved Mickey mouse she went and got beads and made her this necklace. Seriously how precious is that and how big of a heart does that girl have to not have even met Taylee to go out of her way to do this.

This was Friday Night when we got home. She was finally wide awake and hungry.

Saturday morning bright and early this girl was hungry and ready to go. The cast has not slowed her down one bit. In fact, Wade and I both feel like she thinks she is now super woman. She has been jumping off things (yes I freak out) and wrestling with her sisters, and doing all the things she shouldn't be doing but how do you stop them from being little? You don't! They already grow up to fast. Just love them for one day they won't be little anymore!

Thanksgiving and Christmas

2012-01-18T17:00:00.000-08:00

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We went home (to Blackfoot) and was able to spend time with our friends and family. I even was able to squeeze in a jewelry party within the 4 full days we were there. Mom, Kayla, my cousin Jenny and I went shopping the day after Thanksgiving. We weren't crazy and up waiting in lines and all that, but we did go to the Blackfoot Walmart at 5am and we pulled in to find an empty parking lot. Talk about blissful shopping, no standing in lines or watching people fight over items.

It was so much fun to go home and see everyone. To those we didn't get to see we will be home again soon. Plus I plan on coming home a lot this summer.

Christmas and New Years- OH Christmas was amazing. I will admit I was super emotional Christmas Eve for the last 28 years I have always spent Christmas Eve at my Grandma B's, just hanging out and having delicious snacks. Then when Wade and I got married Christmas eve was always spent an hour or two at my Grandma's and then the rest of the evening with Wade's mom Nicki. Her birthday is Christmas Eve so we always have a get together with his sisters and his step siblings. It is ALWAYS mass chaos but so much fun. Nicki and Gary always give the kids a present to open that night. The kids always love getting new PJ's and by Christmas Eve my girls are ALWAYS in desperate need for new ones. Anyhow this year we decided that instead of traveling to Idaho we would spend Christmas with just our cute little family. The girls opened their presents from Gama Nicki and Poppa Gary. Christmas Morning was so much fun, I am not sure if it was fun because Wade and I were excited for the girls or if the thought of cooking our own dinner and not having to go ANYWHERE was exciting. None the less we had so much fun and despite me missing seeing my family Christmas day and my Grandma's delicious dinner. We survived and are looking forward to many more Christmas Days 2011.

(Sorry no pic's this post)

October - December Fun Things!

2012-01-18T11:42:00.000-08:00

Halloween:

We wanted Mylee to be Sandy from Grease and KJ a nerd...

but...we ended up being Punk Rockers (it was EASY :))

We wrestle ALOT!

Dad took us to Spokane and we stayed in a hotel.

We LOVE when Grammy and Poppa come visit us!

and when Uncle Shilo comes he takes us for Ice Cream...YUMMY

Dad taught Kenadee to play pool.

making cookies..They are ALWAYS better when Grammy is here to help us!

Dad plays with us when he gets home.

Grammy sends us FUN stuff in the mail

While Kenadee is at school we like to use mom's stamps.

Playing at the park and on the beach of the Columbia River.

Saturday lunches at Texas Roadhouse YUM!

Saying good-bye!

2012-01-18T11:02:00.001-08:00

You don't realize how much you can love something until it's time to leave it. I am going to miss this cute house (which is even cuter on the inside because it is filled with many memories). Looking forward it is amazing how change can make us see things that we were once blind to and always thought we needed better. When in reality we have what we really want right in front of us. Make do with what you have for in someones eyes you already have the best of everything! So my advice don't dwell on the materialistic things, look around at all the things you do have and be grateful that you had the things you did.

So where did we end up you maybe asking? Kennewick, WA. It all happened so so fast. In August of 2011 we found out that Bechtel was out bid by another company. The new company was going to be laying off hundreds of people. So instead of facing a potential layoff Wade applied at several different area's with Bechtel National. We found out the first of September that Wade was tenativly going to be getting the postion and he would start in WA October 1st. So the weekend of our anniversary we booked it over to the Tri-cities to find a place to live. It was an adventure for sure. Going into detail would take FOREVER so I will just say we found a cute apartment tucked up on a hill 5 mins from pretty much everything. So we signed a 12 month lease (yes, we are't thrilled about living in an apartment but what do you do?) We were able to get our house rented out packed up and over to Kennewick the first second weekend in October. Thanks to our amazing family for helping us. Saying goodbye to everything and everyone we have ever known was the hardest thing I have had to face yet in my life. Keeping a positive attitude towards everything has made the transition very smooth. We miss our family and friends soo much but any of you need a vacay come visit we can golf and fish year round plus we are ALWAYS up for visitors!

These are the days....

2011-09-04T11:58:00.000-07:00

E.I.S.F - THE PARADE

Can you believe it is that the fair is here? I swear it was just July and we were trying to squeezing in anything and everything possible to get fun things in before school starts. The girls are so super excited for the fair this year, not for the rides believe it or not but the "Horse Races". We are excited to attend the races on Monday and Wade and I may even squeeze them in on Friday before Kenadee gets out of school ha..ha.. Let's not forget all the YUMMY food..

Mom, Mylee, Gracie, Taylee, Tara and Amanda. For those of you wondering who these cute blonde's are, Shilo is dating Tara (the one without the sunglasses on) She is so much fun and fits right in with the smart bums in our family. Amanda is her sister and Amanda's husband also is one of dad's drivers. So it is just one big happy family!!

Mylee's Stash of Parade Candy - Mylee's Pre School - Gracie's stash of Parade candy - Funny thing Tara turned around and Gracie said "TURN around Tara" like Tara was going to take her candy! Love, love, love little girls!

Kinley & Kenadee with Uncle Shilo

Kenadee's First day of 3rd Grade

I can't believe she really is in the 3rd Grade, it seriously seems like yesterday when I was putting her on the bus to Kindergarten and bawling like a baby. She is loving the 3rd grade and Mr. (Liam) Pope's class. The first day of school she came out and told me Mr. Pope is hilarious and that he calls the desks "drawer's" Mr. Pope is from England and still has the English accent. We have know Mr. Pope for a long time and are excited he is teaching at Stoddard this year. I am very proud of this little girl for who she is and how great she is doing.

OUR SUNDAY AT LAGOON!!!

It was a SUPER hot day, but despite the heat the girls had a blast and I think the big kids even snuck in a ride or two! But it was so much fun seeing the girls smile and giggle and run with excitement to each ride. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Kenadee will become more of a ride queen instead of a little chicken. ha..ha..

School Shopping

2011-08-20T22:55:00.000-07:00

Yes... this is the weekend that every daughter looks forward too and every mother possibly dreads... SCHOOL SHOPPING... Every year I tell myself the next year will be different and it is always the same....emotional..."MOM, I am TIRED, MOM, When are we going to look at MY Size of stuff. MOM, I really need to get THIS!" Well, we did survive the school shopping. We managed to score some really cute deals.. Forever 21 has some super cute girls clothes. Makes me sad in a way that Kenadee is now at the age where she can keep up on the fashion trends almost better than I can :). We arrived in Layton last night and decided to hit the mall and then go to Outback Steak house for dinner. I mean you can't go wrong with 2 $25.00 gift cards nothing beats a free meal :). Then we booked it back to the hotel so that Kenadee could swim...

Thank goodness for good Grandma's I really need to be a better mom and not a party pooper!

This morning we got up (I am sure earlier than Kayla really wanted, I do recall hearing her say "WHY are you guys up so early?" Kayla I love ya but ONE Day you will have children and your internal alarm clock will go off even if you think you are on vacation and they are not around. Oh the joys of motherhood. We left Layton and headed down to Sandy. We stopped at Chick-fil-a or as mom would say "Chick-Flicka" and ate lunch then off to the South Town Mall we went. We did some major retail therapy. Okay Kenadee got some major retail therapy, I did manage to squeeze in 4 new shirts, some new MAC mascara and eyeliner that I am completely in love with and a new pair of shoes from Nordstrom Rack. In between our shopping adventure we managed to squeeze in Kayla test driving a car. Yes, we can multi-task...

aren't we cute?

Then off to the "Sugarland concert" Which by the way was A-M-A-Z-ING!! It was Kenadee's first concert and this girl is a trooper, shopping all day long and then going to a concert she was pooped. At first she really didn't know what to think, then she kinda lost interest and then by the end of the night Kayla and I had her smiling and dancing around. She has informed me the next concert on her list is "Taylor Swift" Boy I better start saving for that one. :)

(can you tell MOM didn't want to be in the picture, yet she kinda did?)

We are looking forward to another fun filled day tomorrow, the boys, plus Shilo's friend Tara and Mylee and Taylee are coming down so we can spend the day at Lagoon. What a great way to end the summer. I did attend "The band Perry, Luke Bryan and Tim McGraw" Concert a couple weeks ago and you can hear all about the concert from my Friend Libbie's blog...I hope you all had a great summer and are looking forward to the school year flying by!

hmm... Over a year..

2011-07-27T20:39:00.000-07:00

Don't worry I won't bore you with the list of stories from the past year that I haven't blogged. There for a while I got so annoyed with how long it took to post something and upload pictures I decided that I was going to take a break, but now that the Kenadee has become this fantastic reader I thought it would be a good idea to start blogging once again and also let everyone know that we have NOT fallen off the face of the earth.

I am sure you are all wondering what we have been up to, the question you should be asking yourself is "What haven't the Roberts been up to?" I can not believe school starts so soon and to think there is only 4 Saturdays left until we have to start cracking the whip on bedtimes and homework does it make anyone else want to PUKE? I thought I would be excited for school, but really I've enjoyed the summer. We've been doing lots of things but really we haven't, yet we have managed to keep ourselves busy every weekend. So I don't know where to even begin to start and I can't back track because oh man a year of no posts could put you all to sleep. So let's just start with a small update on us all...

Wade - He is still working at the site working 4 10's and loving it. On his Friday's and Saturday's and on occasion one night after work he spends his mornings/afternoons on the Golf Course with his dad. It is really good for him to get out of the house and spend sometime with men since there is SO much estrogen in our house. Thank goodness the weather has been nice for him to go or else he maybe throwing little fits like the girls do...

Sammi - I started working for On The Spot Cleaning and Restoration in November (I had a couple months off after Wells Fargo Financial closed) and have been there since. I finally was able to cut back to 2 days a week the end of May after a crazy incident with my babysitter. So I am loving being at home, helping my parents with their business, babysitting the cutest little red head girl ever 3 days a week and 2 little boys one day a week. On top of that still going strong with selling jewelry.. Speaking of anyone interested in having a party? The fall line just came out and it is to DIE for!!

Kenadee - got baptized in June and it was such a great day, Wade did such an amazing job on both the baptism and confirmation. She is loving the summer days and has been a tremendous help with the little ones. Her motherly instincts have kicked in for sure. She is ready for 3rd grade and looking forward to the weekend before schools starts to go school shopping and attending her very first concert. We are going to Sugarland and can't wait. It has really paid off to bribe her with money and things to get her to help out now she does things without being asked.

Mylee - Oh this little girl is seriously my best friend (Sorry Lib it's true) She is my little shadow and I am really loving it. She is 3 going on 13 and has the funniest personality ever. We decided to put her in summer pre-school and she is loving it, in a little over 4 weeks she has learned to write her M and her Y. We have nicknamed her Pete and you'll understand that in a minute...

Taylee - This is the stubbornest little girl yet the BEST little girl ever, she is so easy going and can entertain herself, in fact if I need to get something done on the computer, or around the house I just put in the movie "Tangled" and this girl will watch it repeatedly. She loves to tag along with her sisters and we are SO close to having her 100% potty trained (this is where it gets crazy and she is stubborn, we can't bribe her with ANYTHING). We have nicknamed her "Repeat" because she repeats EVERYTHING that Mylee says. Those two are either best friends or worst enemies.

The conversations throughout the day are getting even funnier too...

As we are eating dinner the other night:
Wade: "Mylee, how are your mushrooms?"
Mylee: "MMM.. They are goood"
Kenadee: "My what do they taste like?"
Mylee: "They taste like HOT DOGS"

Seriously we all busted up laughing, that is just one of the many I've started carrying a note book with me so I can write down things because Mylee is seriously my clown. I can't even count to three when she is in trouble because she starts counting for me. Little Stinker!

Ellis Family Reunion

2010-06-27T19:42:00.000-07:00

We had a great weekend in Downata Hot Springs at the Ellis Reunion. We got to spend a lot of time with great family, YUMMY food, and we enjoyed the Hot weather AND water, it is so fun to be with family that live so close yet we don't see each other often enough.

Aunt Myrna and Uncle Gaylen brought up some rocks and paint, the kids LOVED painting rocks. It entertained them for a while until dinner was cooked and then back to the pool they all headed.

Mylee and Aunt Kayla

Taylee, Courtney, Kristen and Kenadee playing in the fountain

Taylee, Kristen, Kenadee, Courtney and Mylee waiting for the candy cannon to go off!

The girls loved the water...We went swimming Friday after we got all settled into our campsite and then again on Saturday. Saturday Mylee woke up on the wrong side of "me" according to Wade so she did not enjoy the pool at all on Saturday. Thank goodness my parents were there, mom took Mylee back to the trailer for a nap and Taylee cuddle up next to dad in the shade after playing in the fountains. They really enjoyed the weekend. I too had a great birthday Friday, spending it with my handsome hubby and my little princesses the rest of my family. It was the best 28th birthday. Thanks to my family I love you all!

I LOVE FREE JEWELRY!

2010-06-21T15:29:00.000-07:00

When I originally decided to become a PREMIER DESIGNS Independent distributor I originally was wanting to make a little extra income with the goal of being able to quit my part time job and eventually just sell Jewelry. I have made MANY new friends I have also had to really step out of my comfort zone and really now it isn't about the extra income. I am LOVING the reaction I get when I get to call a hostess to tell her how much free jewelry she is getting. Last week I held a Mystery hostess jewelry party at my house. I was really nervous as all hostesses are about the party wondering is anyone going to show up, what if no one buys anything... It was a great success.. PLUS I made some GREAT new friends. Cheyenne Shepherd won the Mystery Hostess with that she gets $182 in FREE Jewelry that she gets to pick out. What made me even more excited is she is having her how jewelry show the first of August. I am extremely excited about all the additional free jewelry she is going to be getting at her own show. Since April 8Th I have given away $1,630.45 in free jewelry. It is amazing to get excited over something that may sound silly to some but... WHO doesn't like getting together with ladies for a few hours one night, and even better WHO doesn't like something for free?

I found this quote and I have fallen completely in LOVE with it...

"Jewelry allows women to express themselves in a way that clothing sometimes simply cannot."
--Designer Vera Wang

2010

2010-06-19T10:49:00.000-07:00

So we are already 6 months into the year actually almost 7 and this is my first post of the year. I would say life has been busy but really I am just lazy and the last thing I have really wanted to do is get on the computer after a long day at work.

I am still working 3 days a week in Pocatello and enjoy getting out of the house. BUT the more exciting news is I am now a independent distributor for Premier Designs Jewelery and I am LOVING it. I do homes shows and give away LOTS of FREE Jewelry. I kinda feel like a wardrobe paramedic. Going in and selling ladies jewelry to update their current wardrobe. It is a lot of fun! If you are interested in hosting a party let me know my email address is sammiroberts2000@gmail.com.

We are enjoying every warm day that comes our way and try to take full advantage of the sunshine. Kenadee is enjoying not having to get up early which is weird to me because she is up earlier now that she would be, than when school is in. Mylee and Taylee are two peas in a pod and play either really well together or are beating the crap out of each other. I didn't think a 1 year old could be so mean, must be paybacks for all the times when she couldn't defend herself. They are all getting so big and it makes me sad, yet at the same time they are all getting to be extremely fun and BUSY!

Wade is doing good as well and take FULL advantage of the warm weather and goes golfing every chance he gets. He also goes and plays basketball one night a week to get him out of the house and away from all the estrogen. I hope you are all doing well and I will try and be better about posting but I am not making any promises. One question... what do you think of the girl's new pictures aren't they adorable???

Slacker...

2009-10-28T00:13:00.000-07:00

Yes, once again I am officially a slacker when it comes to updating our blog. The days fly by and so do the nights. After the girls go to bed I have all these intentions to get things done but never do. So tonight insomnia has kicked in and I decided instead of lying on the couch watching GAC I would post a little update. I am not promising many pictures due to our Internet is so SLOW.

We are definitely making things work right now. I had the opportunity to go back to work and fill in for my friend who took my position at WFF. I am loving working, although obviously I am missing my baby girls and they are growing way too fast but we are surviving. I am hoping to start a part time schedule soon and I will be at a happy medium where I can work and spend time with them. I am very thankful to work for a great company and understand the need for family time as well. Wade has been so great at taking care of the girls on Fridays, he doesn't complain too much, okay he really doesn't complain at all and for that I am so thankful. Not only does he take care of the girls but he is also so good at making sure the house is picked up and laundry has at least been started. (I am a very lucky woman to have a hubby who helps -Love you Wade!!!) He has tried to take advantage of every little chance he could get to get some time in at the golf course. I know he didn't do as much golfing as he would have liked to but there is always next year right?

Kenadee is LOVING the first grade. On her first day of school she told me her favorite thing was recess and when I asked why she replied "because the boys chased me". I am positive we are going to be in trouble with this girl. She has really come out of her shell the last few weeks and has become way more opinionated and sassy. (I am not looking forward to what it will be like when she is 16). She is such a good big sister always helping and playing with the babies..

Mylee is just as mischievous as ever. I have been trying to work with her on potty training but haven't fully enforced it. She is getting the idea but her favorite thing is to take her diaper off by herself and run around the house without it. She is starting to talk alot and has gotten quite the funny little personality. She loves to tourment Kenadee and taylee. Mylee has 3 favorite things right now... and one does not come in front of the other... her blanky, her ba (sippy cup - YES she is addicted to it) and her Pappa. Mylee will argue with me every morning. I will say let's go to aunt Stephs and she will shake her head no and say pappa.

Taylee just got her first tooth a week ago. She is crawling around like crazy and tonight she pulled herself up and stood up next to the dishwasher. I am not ready for her to be doing this, I am afraid she is going to be as busy as Mylee. She is the happiest little girl I have ever seen and can make just as much noise at the other two. She has the biggest smile and laughs at almost everything.

I can't believe Halloween will be here in a couple of days. The girls are very excited about their costumes, to think that the holiday season is approaching is a little nerve racking to me time is flying by way too fast.Oh wells it is what it is right... I hope everyone is doing well and we love you!!

Summer Time...

2009-08-05T10:46:00.000-07:00

Yes...I have been a HORRIBLE blogger. I honestly sit down at the computer with great intentions and never end up getting anything posted. I can not believe school will be starting in 3 weeks. Let me try to sum up what has been going on the couple of months. I will try and get pictures posted this weekend.

I have been watching my friends 2 kids every Monday and Wednesday. So I honestly think that is what has made my weeks FLY by. They are a great joy to have at our home (most of the time) Ha..The reason I say this is because Kinley and Kenadee either play great together or fight constently, just like sisters. But, fighting is part of the growing up process. Preston is hilarious and loves, loves, LOVES to torment the girls. Mylee is getting to be so much fun she is starting to talk more and is quite the character. She loves to copy things that Kenadee does. Taylee is rolling all over the place and starting to hold her own bottle. I am so not ready for her to moble yet but I know the day will becoming very soon. She is so a sqirmy little stink so I am afraid she is going to be as busy as mylee is. Which reminds me I will post some pictures of all the miscevisous things little miss Mylee has done lately. You will all get a great laugh!

Kenadee has asked if Kamri could come over to play this summer and I still haven't called my friend Chelsee to get the girls together. YIKES!! I sure do feel like a horrible mother! on the other hand we have been doing some pretty fun things.

JUNE - we went and stayed almost a week with my fabulous sister-in-law Shelby. The girls absolutly loved playing with Cache and Abby. We didn't do much but lounge around the house, one time we made it out to the pool but the weather wasn't that warm that week. The kids LOVED making big messes of Shelby's house and for Shelby and I, I think the thought of having someone else to talk to besides our little ones was great! We have been wanting to go back to Utah to stay with Shelby but haven't yet made it. We will be going back there soon, So... Shelby get ready for us!

JULY-- CAMPING, CAMPING and MORE CAMPING...

We got a late start on camping this year but I feel like we have definitely made up for it the month of July. Over the 4th we went with my parents and our good friends Jake and Ashley and Ashley's parents to Lava. We had a great time 4-wheeling, the guys tried to do a little bit of fishing, and we went to Chesterfield and went through some of the homes that have been restored on the historic land site.

2 weeks later we went camping for 5 days in Montana. We LOVE Montana and spending time at Hebgen Lake. We spent alot of time swatting mosquito's (It didn't matter how much repellent we had on the skeeters attacked us!) Playing in the water and playing card games. It is so nice to leave for 5 days and not have to worry about laundry or cleaning. But as much fun as we had we were all ready to leave mosquitoville and come home to sleep in our own beds. we knew it would only be a short time before we left camping again.

Wade had his big THREE ZERO (30th) Birthday on the Sunday we got home from Montana. Such an uneventful birthday (Sorry Honey, I'll make it up to you next year) but he did score some great gifts, A wheelbarrow (that he had been constantly reminding me about for who knows how long) a little fire pit to put in our back yard and my parents got him a nice tool set which he has been in dire need of. PLUS we went to eat at El Mirado with NO Kiddos (yes it was a Sunday). I hope he enjoyed his birthday.

Last Thursday we headed to Mackay for our "BIG" Mackay get together with Wades sisters and Step siblings. I honestly think that every year it gets better and better. We took Shilo's 4-wheeler with the intentions of going for a ride, it was great to have it there but was rode maybe 3 times...I am not sure we even put a mile on it. So Friday morning we got up and first thing Abby and Kenadee did was pull out the barbies (Nicki SCORED this box of barbies and barbie shoes at a garage sale...it was the best 5-10 bucks she has ever spent) Cache and Mylee had fun tormenting their sisters. Later that afternoon Gary's kids started rollin in. Friday night we just chilled with everyone. Saturday we got up had breakfast and then we had a Little golf scramble. This was alot of fun! It was my first time golfing for this year, I was amazed with myself the first 5 holes, great drives, chips and putts. But then my team who had 2 carts mind you decided that I was making them feel guilty for walking (yes they were being lazy) and so they had me get into the cart holy did that ever mess with my game. By the 9th hole I was so ready to be done. Wades team won ... well they won bragging rights until next years scramble. On sunday we had family pictures and then a big softball game Adults against kids. once again the adults won. Next year I am going to video tape the game. Seeing all the little ones get excited to play is the cutest thing ever. Not to mention all the smack talk that goes on between the older kids and the adults.

So now it is the first of august and I can hardly believe it. Kenadee will be starting school in 3 weeks and I am going to go back to work for about 10 weeks while the girl that took over my job goes on maternity leave. Exciting yet nerve racking at the same time. My great great friend Jessica who also happens to be my neighbor is going to be taking my kiddos while I am working. I am so grateful for her and owe her more than she will ever know.

I hope you are all doing great and enjoying your summer!

New pictures...

2009-06-21T17:17:00.000-07:00

The girls have been WAY overdue on getting their pictures taken. Sunday I was completely afraid that on Monday the girls would all be grumpy and not cooperate and sure enough Mylee was a bear!! So that explains the bottle and the blankie in the picture. But it is her in this stage of life....

These are just a few...the girls are alot of fun, Kenadee is SO bord and is ready for school to start. Mylee has been nicknamed MOD (master of disaster), and Taylee is getting to be so fun, she rolled over from her belly to her back on Thursday which was exciting. We are enjoying the summer well...what we can enjoy with this crazy Idaho weather.

The new do....

2009-06-09T22:03:00.000-07:00

So I have been wanting to grow my hair back out because I absolutely loved it in this picture....

But the last time i got it colored and trimmed it turned out like this....

So after 8 weeks of patiently waiting and 2 weeks or more of asking Wade what he liked and he never changed his answer once was.... "Honey!! I like your hair longer and darker, BUT...do what ever makes you happy." So I ended up doing this....

I love it...I feel so sassy!!!

I actually got it trimmed and then it was at a length that drives me bonkers which was right at the top of my shoulders , because I was so undecided I thought I would just go back in 6 weeks and have it chopped off then if I didn't like it but then... Holly (who is FABULOUS at coloring and cutting) says I have time if you want to and I sat there and debated and finally I said OKAY, I don't know who was more excited me or Holly! So...I met Wade in the middle my hair is dark like he likes it but shorter and I love it.

Night at the Museum

2009-06-07T14:13:00.000-07:00

Wednesday night Wades work sponsored at night at the museum for the Titanic exhibit. As we got there we were each handed a boarding pass with a name of a person that was actually on the Titanic. On the boarding pass it listed what class you were in and a little bit of information about that person whether they were traveling alone or with family and also where they were from. As we walked through the exhibit seeing chandeliers, china, clothing, wallets, money, tools, tiles etc. that had been pulled from the ship it was amazing to see what things looked like then and how much things have changed yet how much things are still the same. We were able to also see things like the difference in the sleeping quarters from a 1st class vs 3rd class, I was so amazed that the difference wasn't just in the sleeping quarters, things were the very finest for the 1st class travelers from the dinner menu, to the china to the tile on the floor. The menus, the bedding, the tile on the floor and the china got not so elegant for the 2ND class travelers and for the 3rd class their china nor menus did not list the Titanic logo on them. As we got close to the end of the exhibit we were able to place our hands on an ice burg that was as cold as the one the Titanic collided with it was so crazy. Before we left we looked at our boarding passes to see our names an then located our names on a board showing the names of the survivors or those who lost their lives. Wade and Kenadee lived and I passed didn't make it. Of course Kenadee and Wade walked out laughing.

After that we went to Hard Hat Steak house and had a yummy dinner, Wade had a bucket of trash which consisted of battered shrimp, cod and chicken and some french fries and Kenadee and I shared a steak. It was YUMMY!!! On the way home there was a big storm a bruin after several phone calls between my parents and I we pulled into Blackfoot. The plaza was like a lake and the rain was coming down. We headed home to drop off the car and headed out to my parents house to pick up the 2 little girls, as we drove past the swimming pool and down Fisher this is what we saw.....

SO CRAZY!!!! it seems likes since Wednesday we have had non stop rain. Which I am not really complaining about because I don't mind the rain but.. I do have to say when the sun comes out the kids will be playing in a jungle because the grass is so long back yard. What is up with the crazy weather?

Just a little update....

2009-05-27T18:01:00.000-07:00

Okay....maybe it isn't going to be that little of an update.

Life always has its ups and downs but lately ours has been in the middle. We have been staying busy and trying to enjoy every beautiful day we get.

Baby Animal day at the EISF grounds......what a fun day we went withWades sister Shelby, her two kids Abby and Cache, my mom and also Kwynn (Stephanies only girl). We had a lot of fun trying to milk a pretend cow, shaking cream to make it butter, petting goats, pigs, holding baby chicks and bunnies. Kwynn and Abby also touched a snake GROSS!! We had such a great time and loved spending the time with Shelby and the kids while they were in town! We love you Aunt Shelby!!!!

Taylee was blessed on Mothers Day, it was a great day. I didn't get any pictures of her in her blessing dress alone. I keep telling myself that I will put her back in it I guess I better get it done soon because she isn't going to beable to fit in it much longer she is growing like a weed. When I took her in for her 2 month check up ( she was actually almost 3 months) she weighed 10 lbs. 8 oz. and she was 24 inches long. She is such a joy and has had to learn to be a tough tough little girl. Mylee loves kiss Taylee, throw things at her and head butt her. I think Taylee is going to be a tough little girl.

Just some other fun pictures of us having some fun and enoying the sunshine.....

Summer break is starting soon and we can not wait. I will get a break of a few things....like no fighting with Kenadee on what she is going to wear or how she is going to wear her hair that day, no more rushing her to eat so she can brush her teeth to catch the bus. We are looking forward to long weekends of swimming, boating, golfing and plenty of camping. I can not belive how fast time really does fly. My girls are getting so so big but I am loving every minute of it. Thanks wade for letting me stay home to take care of the girls. I love you so so much!!!

Spring Break

2009-03-30T10:54:00.000-07:00

This year we spent Spring Break in Island park with My parents, Shilo and Kayla. We rented a cabin and just chilled and when I say just chilled I mean it. We talked about before we even left of things that we would/could do while we were there: Snowmobiling, sledding, playing card games maybe going for a ride to see Hebgen Lake and then into West. We didn't do much but sit in the hot tub, play the Wii and munched. We definitely enjoyed the 4 days we were there just doing nothing and loving every minute of it.

Saturday night it began to snow it snowed all night. We got up Sunday morning excited that there was actual powder to ride in. We had good intentions of going on a snowmobile ride but it was snowing so hard we couldn't see, Mine and Kaylas helmets kept fogging up and getting snow in them so we headed back to the cabin and just played on the sled going down the hills. Kenadee had a blast. When we left there was 8" of new snow. We were so sad to leave and drive home in the not so great traveling weather.

Thanks Mom and Dad for the great weekend. We always look forward to spending time with you!

Taylee Rae!!

2009-03-13T16:44:00.000-07:00

Taylee will be 3 weeks old on Sunday, Hard to believe that is for sure!! We took her in for her 2 week check up today and she weighs 8lbs 3oz.

We love FaMiLy!!!

2009-03-13T15:54:00.001-07:00

Last weekend my Aunt Amy and her kids came up from Utah for the weekend. We LOVE it when they come and visit.

Jake andTaylee

Jenny and Mylee

Jenny and Taylee

Aunt Cindy and Taylee

Lindsay....you were MIA not sure how come you aren't in any pictures and so was your mom hmmmm....But we love you!

we also don't get to see Cindy as often as we would like to her and Kenadee can really entertain each other....

Cindy...I love you please don't hate me for posting this...

The most beautiful mom!

2009-03-13T15:44:00.000-07:00

Every once in a great while Kenadee will ask to play in my make up. This particular morning she wanted to do mine so of course I said ok, I mean I hadn't showered yet so what the heck right? So this is the outcome.....

I took a picture and sent it to Wade all he could say was Whoa! Kenadee told me that I looked beautiful and I should do my make up like this EVERY day. Uh.....All I could say was yeah....Gotta love my little princess!!

Quick post...

2009-02-26T15:19:00.000-08:00

I thought I would share some pictures of the girls. We are all doing great I can't get enough sleep but that is alright. Kenadee still can't hold Taylee enough and Mylee is finally getting interested.

Mylee has also decided that she needs to suck on a Binky, she started this when she saw Taylee sucking on hers. At first it was funny but the thought of Mylee getting addicted to the Binky at 1 years old is a little frightening considering I am already nervous to break her of the bottle.

Introducing.......

2009-02-23T19:42:00.000-08:00

Taylee Rae Roberts

2/22/2009 @ 3:45 am

6lbs. 14oz. and 20 1/2"

Saturday night as the girls were asleep and Wade was passed out in the recliner, I was preparing our primary lesson and updating the blog which was in desperate need of updating. At 10:00 pm I started having contractions, all last week they would come and go so I just ignored them. Then at 11:45 pm we crawled into bed and I told Wade ..."Rowdy, I have been having contractions but I am sure now that I have told you they will stop." Wade decided to time them 10 mins apart then I fell asleep. At 1:45 I ended up getting up with Mylee and when I crawled back into bed I had one that Wade could tell I was in pain. Me being stubborn didn't want to go to the doctor for fear that they would send me home. Wade called my mom and as fast as I could pull myself together my mom shows up to stay with the girls. When we left our house @ 2:07 my contractions became 3 mins apart. By the time I got into the room and checked it was about 2:45. My admissions paperwork wasn't even completed and the anaesthesiologist was on his way. Taylee arrived @ 3:45 am. Needless to say the nurse said if there is ever a next time come in when your contractions start or the next time your husband will be delivering your baby.

We are so happy she is here Kenadee is the proudest big sister in the world and Mylee just isn't sure what to think yet. We are all healthy, happy and doing great! We love you all and hope you are all doing well too!

A little bit of everything....

2009-02-21T20:57:00.000-08:00

Since I haven't blogged in quite a while I thought I would just throw a little bit of everything in...

Life has been going great with us staying busy and keeping up with the girls not to mention the giant belly I have. Here is a little recap of what has happened over the last little while.

Mylee turns the big 1...

The Cakes...

Mylee not really eating her cake but rubbing it in her hair and her eyes...

Mylee has also become our little MONKEY.....

Hmm..the fridge, her rocking chair and the dishwasher....

She will be in her bedroom playing and if Wade or I open the fridge or the dish washer as quiet as we possibly can it never fails she is right there waiting to climb inside.

Playing with Daddy!

The first thing Kenadee will say to Wade when he walks in the door is, Hi dad can you play with me, tickle me or beat me up. Mom obviously is not that fun to play with because I can't chase her around the house or wrestle with her. There is nothing I enjoy more than watching Wade play with the girls. It always puts a smile on my face even when I know he is so tired from his long day at work these little moments are what Kenadee and Mylee will forever remember.

38 Weeks and counting down the days.....

We are anxiously awaiting the arrive of Baby girl #3 (due March 4Th), I am more than ready to be done being pregnant after practically 2 whole years. (this picture is so gross but I figured family may want to see what I look like ha..ha..) But honestly, I don't know who is more excited...Kenadee because she says Mylee is getting way to big to pack around the house as if Mylee were Kenadee's own doll (yet she never complains while she is actually doing it), or Wade who can't wait for me to stop snoring so he can get some sleep. As for me I am just ready to have our newest addition in our arms and outta my belly!!

Roberts Family Christmas

2008-12-20T14:35:00.000-08:00

Oh the joys of Christmas family get togethers. This year we decided that we would just stick around and do a family get together at Wade's sister Stephanie's house. So Monday night we headed out to the Keller's home and hung out with Wades sisters, and their families. We ate, chatted and opened gifts. I think the best part was just all being together it doesn't happen often enough.

Kenadee, Kwynn and Abby all got matching shirts and fake finger nails. WOW!! They were SO excited.

Mylee got a ball with a monkey on the top of it that balances as it rolls, Cache got a Truck, Kade and Klay got Nike beanies and Kooper got a gun that shoots a ball out of it which we found leaves Major welts when shot to close. I didn't even see what Keegan got but I am sure it was awesome.

Later after the mass chaos of opening gifts were done the boys headed in to play a little game of Scum. It was a great night and we were very happy that Grandma Fullmer and Grandma Jackson came out to join the party.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

2008-12-09T22:01:00.000-08:00

Getting excited at Christmas just isn't the same as it was when I was little. I am excited but definitely not like I remember being. Kenadee has begged us to put up the Christmas tree and we finally did it. I am so glad that I have children to keep me in the spirit of Christmas and remind me every day how lucky I really am!

Wade and I put it together and hung the lights, then Kenadee hung the ornaments. Tradition in our family since I can remember is that every year the kids get to pick out a new ornament to hang on the tree, yet being the slacker mom I am I haven't taken Kenadee to pick one out yet, nor do I have an ornament for Mylee. Our tree is a total kids tree it isn't one you would see in a fancy magazine and one that the kids can't touch. Kenadee loves to move the ornaments every so often. I think her favorite thing though is hanging the candy canes on the tree. I didn't get a picture of the candy canes yet but it is definitely cute.

Yes...All the ornaments are in the center of the tree.

Slacker? I would say YES!!

2008-11-25T19:51:00.000-08:00

So I obviously think that it is OK to update my blog once a month. Actually after a long day at work the last thing I really want to do is get on the computer. I promise I will try and be better. Here are somethings that have been going on the last month or so....

Tonight I came down stairs and found this...

Kenadee pushing Mylee around in her baby doll stroller. I couldn't get Mylee to smile at me (the little stinker) but she thought she was pretty funny stuff when the camera wasn't on her.

The Pregnancy

26 weeks...Holy cow has it flown by to think that another little girl will be joining our family in roughly 14 weeks is so scary, but exciting. I would highly recommend that you make sure you spread them out a little more than 12 months. Give your body a little time to bounce back and recover. There is know doubt in my mind that Mylee and the new little one will be the best of friends. I have been feeling great other than I feel like I am as big at 26 weeks as I was when I delivered Mylee. Kenadee is ready to have the baby now, she says Mylee is getting way to heavy for her to carry around the house. Yes...She is the best helper...here is a glimpse of what I look like it isn't the greatest picture but you get the idea. OK..so I don't look that big in this picture but it is because I am sitting down.

Tickle me Daddy!!!

Kenadee loves to be tickled by Wade actually she is always asking him to beat her up. So they wrestle, giggle and when this happens the dogs (Tug and Charlie) think that Wade is trying to play with them.

Laundry Baskets

When Kenadee was about the same age as Mylee she loved to play in the laundry basket.

This is Kenadee and this one is Mylee

Mylee the Explorer

I can not keep up with this girl. She loves to explore the house and we have found her in some silly places. I finally started taking pictures. She loves to touch the dogs. Charlie usually gets up and moves away but apparently she didn't mind sharing her bed with Mylee.

Halloween...

Kenadee really wanted to be Cinderella. I found the cutest Cinderella costume online the question is did I get it ordered? "NO" So day before Halloween I was frantically searching for a costume. The pictures are proof I didn't find anything close to Cinderella. Thank goodness Kenadee thought the costume I picked out for her was the greatest thing ever. She ended up being a ballerina princess.

Mylee was the cutest Skunk ever. She didn't like being all dressed up but she sure looked cute.

Just a quick note...

2008-10-07T19:31:00.000-07:00

Here are couple of pictures I took of the girls this morning. Kenadee has gone from loving her picture taken, to hating her picture back to being the biggest cheese ball of them all!! Mylee would look at me for a quick second and then would lose interest so I wasn't able to get one of her by herself. Can they get any cuter than these two?

To those of you who haven't heard baby number three...YES...I said number THREE is due March 4Th. We weren't planning on having another one for a couple of years, but the lord works in mysterious ways. Kenadee is extremely excited to have another baby around. I think I am excited knowing that Kenadee has already been such a big helper with Mylee that she will be an even bigger helper with this one. I am sure you are wondering what we are having, well what more could you expect with already having 2 beautiful girls? ANOTHER GIRL!!! I think Wade is finally getting over the shock that it is another girl. I am hoping he will teach them to be great golfers maybe one day one of them will make the LPGA.

Wade your girls love you more than you will ever know!

Where has time gone?

2008-09-27T13:37:00.000-07:00

Well...it is obvious that I am not the best blogger. I think that things in our life are starting to slow down a little bit so I can start updating everyone more often. I can not believe how fast time really flies.

We have been extremely busy the last few months. Mylee will be 8 months old on October 5th, and she is crawling around, pulling herself up on things and starting to walk around the furniture. She is very active and makes it's it know that she in around. She loves to make noise and I wonder where she has learned to make some of the noises she does, but it is definitely cute. Kenadee started Kindergarden in the first of this month and so far her favorite thing is snacks, recess and the bus. She not only loves Kindergarden but loves to torment her younger sister.

Between all of the camping, golfing, T-ball, working and now another remodeling project we really haven't had much time to just relax, but we are definitely enjoying life. We found out on June 25th (my birthday) that we are expecting another baby. Much to our surprise Wade and I just laughed about it what else can you do? So baby number 3 is due March 4th, 2009. This would explain the remolding project I mentioned. We dug out our basement windows and put the big egress windows, framed in another bedroom. Right now we are in the process of texturing so I am hoping to be painting by next weekend. Isn't change great?

I am in the process of transfering all of my pictures to my desk top from my lap top so as soon as I am done I will upload some pictures. I hope all is going well with everyone. Check back soon!!!

Has it really been almost a month?

2008-06-23T19:30:00.000-07:00

I can not believe how fast time flies. I haven't blogged for almost a whole month. Life has been so busy. Where to Begin....lets see.....

Kenadee Turned 5 on the 31st of May. I think her favorite present was her Hannah Montana Guitar from Grandma Jodie and Papa Kip. She did get golf clubs from Wade and I but who wants to play with golf clubs when you can pretend to be Hannah Montana?

Kenadee also started playing T-Ball. She runs like an athlete. I am hoping like crazy she will get the height she needs to play basketball.

Mylee turned 4 months old on the 5Th of June. WOW and here it is almost 2 weeks away from the 5Th of July and she will be 5 months. Time really does fly. She is rolling over when she wants to and usually when no one is watching. We also started to feed her rice cereal, she really isn't a fan of it but she will eat it. She has also started to giggle. It is the cutest thing ever.

I participated in the "Relay for Life", some of my co-workers, my mom and my little sister walked around the track at the Blackfoot High School all night raising money for Cancer. It was a beautiful night I don't have any pictures yet, due to Kayla took them with her camera. So as soon as I get them from her I will get them posted.

We are just trying to keep up with life. My grandma always told me not to wish for a day to go by because every day goes by faster and faster as you get older. I used to think she was crazy but I now realise she was telling the truth. I hope everything is going well with everyone and I hope you are all enjoying the "HOT" weather!

Mackay

2008-05-29T01:19:00.000-07:00

Sunday we decided to go to Mackay to visit Wades mom and step dad. When we got there it was a little chilly. So we went for a little ride. About 5 that night the sun came out and it warmed up. So Wade and I left the girls with Nicki (Wades mom) and hit up the Mackay golf course. My brother Shilo came with us too. It is a fun little course to play.

OK I'll admit it I actually swung and missed the ball. Give me a break though it was my first time out for the year.

When we got to the 7Th hole Gary (Wades step dad) brought Kenadee over to us. when we got to the green she decided that she really, really wanted to hit the ball in. So Wade sets up the ball about 5 feet away from the hole and what do you know Kenadee sinks it in. Her first time on the course and she is already better than her mom. The only thing she needs to catch onto is that when you hit the ball down the fairway you don't pick it up when you get to it.

The park

2008-05-28T21:32:00.000-07:00

If you don't know Wade doesn't work on Fridays so he watches the girls. This particular Friday I came home and he said he had a massive headache. I don't know if it is because Kenadee was driving him crazy or Mylee had one too many poopie diapers. Anyhow, I took the girls to the "Grove" or as some would call it the "beach".

Mylee just hung out in her car seat. It was definatly warm but a little windy.

The followin Sunday we decided that we hadn't had much family time because Wade and I along with my little sister Kayla are washing my dads semi's at night so we skiped church and went to the park again. Kenadee loves to be outside.

Graduation

2008-05-22T21:32:00.000-07:00

Thursday Kenadee graduated from Ms. Kari's Pre-school. They got all dressed up in caps and gowns and Ms. Kari presented them with little diplomas. Kenadee was very shy while reciting "Little Miss Muffet" but it was very cute.

When one is looking...the other isn't.....

New Pictures

2008-04-18T19:48:00.000-07:00

I have so many adorable pictures of the girls. Here is some of them. Aren't the girls getting so big?

Baths

2008-04-13T20:41:00.000-07:00

Sink vs. Bath tub

We finally decided that Mylee was too big for the sink so we put her in the tub. I am thinking she enjoyed the sink a little better!

Aunt Kayla - Like Mom only cooler

2008-04-13T16:23:00.000-07:00

Making Funny Faces

Painting our Fingers and Toes

Making Cookies with Kayla and Manny

Sisters

2008-04-10T19:17:00.000-07:00

Me, Kenadee, Mylee and Kayla

Dressing Up!!

2008-04-10T18:48:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago Kayla thought it would be funny to have Kenadee put on these black boots.

Obviously...Kenadee couldn't walk very well in them

Which lead to Kenadee playing in some of Kayla's other shoes.

Great Great Grandma Larson

2008-04-06T14:00:00.001-07:00

How often do you get to say that your Grandma, Great Grandma or EVEN your GREAT GREAT Grandma is still around and able to spend time with you?This is My Great Grandma Larson she is 86 years old. Even though she is starting to go blind, can't hear hardly at all and can't remember what you told her 2 minutes ago. We still get very excited to see her every Sunday. Grandma can't remember the girls names but she loves to get the loves from them.

Sisterly Love!!

Kenadee loves her little sister and can not hold her and kiss her enough. I have to take as many pictures as I can. I am sure there will come a day soon when they will be fighting and I will look a back at these pictures and miss the quiet days.

Island Park

This last weekend we rented a cabin in Island Park with my parents and some of our friends. There was so much snow there and we had a ton of fun playing in the snow. Kenadee actually road the snowmobile which was a complete shocker because she doesn't like loud noises. We had a great time. We were very sad when Sundayafternoon rolled around and we had to leave.

I can not believe how fast time flies. Mylee is 7 weeks old. She is starting to coo and smile and Kenadee still can't leave her alone :)

Blogging, is there a better way to keep our family and friends up to date on the our family? I hope you all enjoy.

As you all know we had a little girl in February Mylee Kae was born 2-5-08 at 9:42 am weighing 6 lbs 13oz and 19'' long. Kenadee was VERY excited when Wade picked her up from pre-school that day to take her to see her baby sister. Of course Kenadee wanted nothing to do with her mom after that and since that day she has become quite the little mother. Kenadee LOVES to pack Mylee around the house,not to mention hold her, and help me feed her. Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.
