Busy Busy

 We have been busy with all sorts of stuff lately. One of which has been making PJs... More to make but Clark's PJs are a hit!

 Kaylee loves to swing just like the others do!

 A picture Addison drew and colored of our family at kindergarten. I love Tyler's "spikes" on his face. Aka stubble. ;)

 We went to a children's museum that had a Bob the builder exhibit. We thought Clark would love it. He loved the museum although I don't think he cared about the Bob the builder exhibit anymore than any of the other exhibits.

 Addison wanted her own scrap book to do so while I canned one after noon she scrapped. She had a blast with it and has a good eye for artsy stuff already... She comes by it honestly from all her grandparents and dad.

 Outside play so much fun! Clark has grown up so much since Addison started kindergarten. He plays better with Kaylee and just acts more grown up about things.

 Kaylee is running all over the place and is a busy toddler now as much as I want her to stay my baby... I enjoy seeing her discover new things.

 Here is a picture of Addison on her first day of school with her best friend Breda. They are in the same class this year. It's been a busy fall already with lots of babysitting and kindergarten. Addison comes home from school tired most days. She does enjoy it most days though!

We hope everyone else is having a fun busy fall as well! We are still trying to make it to the park once a week and story time at the library at least every other week. Life is busy but good.

Kaylee is a year old!

Wow, it's hard to believe it's been a whole year since we have had Kaylee in our home... Out of my tummy. ;) She has brought so much joy to our family.  She is so easy going for the most part although we are starting to see her little personality emerge as she expresses her independence.  She has her well child check next week so I will update her stats then although I am pretty sure she is on the tall end again. ;)  Kaylee was so excited about the candle and was actually sad when sister (Addison) helped her blow it out. When we placed her plate of cake and ice cream in front of her she didn't want to touch it at first.  Almost as if it were a decoration, but once she started picking at it she realized it was OK to eat and she loved every bit of it.  These pictures are from the camera.  We got some really good shots of the aftermath on my phone I will try to post along with some other cute shots.  The link at the bottom takes you to a video of her enjoying her cake.  We love you Kaylee and are so grateful you are part of our family!

Kaylee didn't care about her presents at all when they were wrapped.  She kept trying to go for Grandma W on the computer instead. Once Addison and Clark helped unwrap some she got very excited about the princesses.  It will be good for her to have some toys I can tell the other two that are for kaylee and if she is playing she doesn't have to share.  Clark especially still has a hard time sharing even being in his room with her can be hard for him if he has a story going because he is concerned Kaylee will wreck it.  Such is the life of a big brother I suppose...

 She likes her stackable chickens too! :)

growing

 Kaylee is learning to walk. She can stand up from sitting and walks great with her toy or holding onto a finger.

 Kaylee trying to do stairs! She is great at going up...

 Trying a Popsicle for the first time.

 Yum!

Splash pad fun! The splash pad came before the Popsicles but hey at least it's an update. :)

Yard work!

Alright here is the first phone post I have ever made. Not sure if it is going to look right! So we decided we wanted more garden space on our small lot so Tyler set to work making more garden boxes Friday and Saturday. Now we have corn and tomatoes to go along with our other yummy veggies. The kids were super excited. Kaylee looks upset but actually she was excited we finally let her it off the stroller to play in the dirt. Clark made "sprinklers" out if the nails. They are stuck in the ground beside him if you can see them... Phone pics...

The Clarknator

Clark is so silly.  We just love him.  He absolutely loves being a puppy and playing with trucks.  He will burst out in a chorus of "Bob the builder" at random (including but not limited to Sacrament meeting).  Try explaining to a three year old that we can sing in Church but Bob the Builder should be sung at home... doesn't work... He also likes to randomly by a minion from Despicable Me so we will here "be do be do be do".  Yeah that was during Primary... Any who here he is playing with his mickey mouse construction truck which he loves with his "pine cones" aka construction cones and barricade. It's going to be a fun summer watching a house get built at the end of our street.  Everytime we have walked or driven past Clark has asked about the "pine cones" and why they are needed.  It takes us a few extra minutes when walking too because we have to slow down to watch the backhoe dig the dirt. :)

Sisters

I think that I am a lot like most women and don't always view myself in the most positive way but when I look at my beautiful daughters I know that I must look okay because man my girls are so beautiful both on the inside and out! Addison is a great helper and Kaylee is just the happiest little girl except for in the matching skirt pictures... Let's face it after church during nap time on cold grass is just not a good time to take pictures.  We will try for some other pictures of them in their matching outfits when it's warmer outside.  Addison loves Kaylee so much and you can tell Kaylee adores Addison and Clark.  She will be perfectly content on the floor as long as one of them is playing nearby on the floor.  Kaylee has learned how to scoot and can get just about anywhere now on her little bum pulling herself forward with her legs.  It's quite amusing to watch.
