Party time.

Kaeleigh's birthday party on Sunday was a success!

We had it at Dobson Ranch Park. It was such a great spot and the weather was perfect. Slightly chilly when the wind picked up, but otherwise perfect.

Here's the birthday girl with her little sister.My friend Lisa and some of the kids sat and watched the ducks.The girl cleaned up in the presents department. Thanks everyone!Kaeleigh chatting it up with her friend Macee.(See what I mean about great spot? Right by the lake and the playground.)Even baby Aden came! He is oh so cute and tiny.The cake from Costco rocked.Kaeleigh with a few of her friends.Reading the cards and opening presents.

My sister looks like the unabomber in the background :)Very happy with her gifts.Kaeleigh got a bike from her grandma and papa. Here she is at home trying out all of her gear.Maylyn had to have a turn too.

We all had such a good time. I can't believe I have a 6 year old! Too crazy!

Kaeleigh.

Today my first born is 6 years old!

Six years ago I spent 30 hours in labor. Pushed for 2 hours, and ended up having a c-section. Kaeleigh was born at 1:02pm.

I put together this mosaic of some of my favorite pictures of her.

Happy Birthday Kaeleigh!!

Love, Mom

(Today she woke up early. I commented on how early it was and she replied, "I was reminded it was my birthday...by my brain." Love this little girl.)

Week in Pictures.

Kaeleigh with her teacher. Maylyn as a mouse.
Bill and Maylyn.Remember this little monster?He's 7 months old this week.

Baby Kae.

I'm currently hunting through my parents pictures for cute baby pics of Kaeleigh.

Why you ask?

Because my baby girl turns 6 on Sunday!!

And I'm going to do a small photo montage post just for her!

Here's a sneak peek.Isn't she cute?? I sure miss those days...

Dressy.

Yesterday Bill and I, along with the kids, took advantage of a sale at JC Penney and bought Christmas dresses for the girls!

Here's the dress that Kaeleigh picked. (We just had to have a fashion show when we got home.) And here's Maylyn's pick... We're going with a black, red, and white theme this year. (also my wedding colors)

I'm gonna try to find some coordinating outfits for Bill and I, and maybe do family picture that we can mail out with Christmas cards. I figure I better get started now because Christmas will be here before you know it! (Seriously, is it really November already?)

Halloween.

Kaeleigh and Maylyn were so excited about their Halloween costumes! Kaeleigh was Bo Peep and Maylyn was Jessie, both from the Toy Story movies.I made Kaeleigh's staff and bonnet.And then I added orange yarn to Maylyn's hat so she looked just like Jessie!Going trick or treating with their Auntie!
All of us dressed up. Me as a bee, my aunt as a cow girl, Bill was The Joker, my sis was in faux military gear, and the kids looking cute as can be!

Hope everyone had a fun night! The kids cleaned up in the candy department!

Sleeping.

Today (Halloween) I had the kids take a nap. Something they don't do anymore, but I bribed them with staying up late and trick or treating! So, I go to wake them up and this is what I found...Maylyn had fallen out of bed! And apparently didn't wake up from the fall.

Check back tomorrow for our Halloween pics!
