Tu Tu Cute

My Mom made the girls little tutus to play with! They both love to dance in them and Kinsey really loves hers! Here's a short video of Kinsey in her tutu!

It Happened!

Well, it happened! I brought Riley home from the hospital just a few days ago and now I'm waking up to take her to preschool! It feels like it happened overnight! I'm so sad that my little girl is growing up but excited for her to start her new adventure! I'm so glad that she is excited for school or it would have been even harder to leave her. Tuesday was her first day of preschool at the Wesley Little Learners in Parsons. Her teacher is Mrs Heenan or if you ask her it's Mr Heenan! (I'm trying to work on that!) Justin, Kinsey, and I took her to her on her first day. I don't think she even noticed that I was crying b/c she was so busy talking to all of the other kiddos and trying to figure out why some were crying! I hung out as long as I could in her classroom before Justin MADE me leave! Kinsey and I had a long 3 hours. First I drove around town aimlessly which left me with 2 and a half hours left to kill. Finally we hit Wal Mart and the antique shop and that took up our time! Riley loved it and can't wait to go back! Here's some pics from her exciting day!!
Her new backpack! She is so proud of this! She wore it in the store when we bought it!

We found her hook for her backpack!

...and her name on the wall outside her room!

... her cubby

Getting dismissed after her first day!

putting the backpack on to leave!

Just a few more pics from the day!

I almost forgot the best part of the day (for me) Nano and Dado told her that they would take her out for lunch wherever she wanted to go! Since Parsons doesn't have a Chic Fil A she chose 'Nestos (Ernestos)! I've trained her well! Dado spoiled her rotten and got her cheese dip and pretty much anything else she wanted at lunch! Oh well I guess that's his job!!

The day of the Desitin

Well, we've had an eventful morning! The girls turned the radio on in their bedroom and started dancing away so I took that opportunity to hurry to the kitchen to do some dishes! I knew I had a limited amount of time! They can only play together for a short time before a referee is needed. It wasn't long and I could hear Kinsey getting mad and then pitter pattering down the hall! This is what I found.....

Kinsey has a bad diaper rash right now so last night I had asked Justin to pick up some Desitin at Wal Mart on his way home! After all, he does love to shop at Wal Mart! (It's hard to type sarcasm!!) Like most men, he decided that bulk was better! You don't have to return to Wal Mart as soon, right?? So he bought a 16 oz jar of Desitin, which as you have figured out, the girls found and painted themselves like little indians!! I'm pretty sure I have Riley to blame for this one but Kinsey was having fun painting herself too!! So off to the tub they went!...

While I was searching for a wash cloth Riley decided to go ahead and finish the job and smear it in some more and put it in Kinsey's hair!! I finally had to get the DISH soap to get it off of them. 45 minutes and half a bottle of dish soap later, my kids are clean again and the Desitin is hidden!!!

Lucky for my kiddos, all I could do was laugh!! I'm so glad that I caught them when I did or who knows what else they would have "painted"!!

Riley met me in the hall covered in Desitin and said "Look Mom!! Is this funny?"

Poor Kinsey! I had to use dish soap on her hair which she managed to rub in her eyes (ouch!!) but the soap totally dried out her hair!

What a day!! Gotta love being called Mom!!

The simple things!

When you're a mom, it's the simple things that make you smile! I love this pic! Just something special about Daddy's and their little girls!!

flagpole festival

This is a few weeks old but I figured better late then never! The girls and I went to the flagpole festival in Mound Valley a few weeks ago. I took the girls to the swimming suit contest for the second year. Last year Kinsey just watched and Riley won her age group. This year they both entered. Riley won her age group again! She had so much fun.She is such a ham! She sat down on the stage, crossed her legs, and just started waving to everyone! I finally had to go make her move along!! She won a savings bond and a cup of candy! She also got to play with her friend Paisley! Those to little girls have a lot of fun playing together! Here's a few pics from the contest!

I'm not sure if she'll ever give up her thumb or her ribbon!!

We went home and napped, changed clothes, and had lunch before venturing back into the heat. We stopped at the petting zoo which was closing because of the heat! They were nice enough to let the girls go through really quickly first!

Riley wanted to do the face paint but she opted for her arm! Of all the cute things she could have picked for them to draw (in sharpie) on her arm she chose Clifford the big red dog!! She loved it! She was most excited when the lady sprayed glitter on her arm!!

I think this is the only pic I have of the girls in their 4th of July outfits! They had just woke up from a nap which was a good time to take Riley's pic but not so good for Kinsey! Oh well!

Bike Rides

Justin finally got my bike up and running for us! The girls love going for bike rides. If Justin makes it home at a normal time we can even talk him in to going with us! We usually make our way up town and stop and visit with people along the way! Gotta love small town America! Jamie and Bryson usually even have popsicles for the girls when we stop! So Riley always insists that we stop at their house! Kinsey is really enjoying it! The bumpier the better! You can hear her giggling every time I hit a bump!
I love summertime!~

Little artist

Here's a link to some pics that we did with Lasha! Riley won a drawing on her blog and got to do this a few weeks ago! We had a lot of fun! Lasha is great to work with and does wonderful photographs!!

Ok, so I'm not a good blogger! I admit... I'm a terrible blogger! I'm hoping over the next few days to do some catching up! We'll see how I do!
In the mean time, here's a video that I love!!

Pictures

A check on Riley's "Harp"

For the longest time Riley thought that her heart was called her Harp! She would listen to her puppy's harp and the dr would listen to her harp at her checkups!
Well, at her 3 yr checkup Dr Grills could hear a heart murmur and said that we needed to see a pediatric cardiologist to have it checked out! He said that it was most likely harmless but b/c a slight few are serious we needed to have it looked into!
So yesterday, on Kinsey's bday, we went to Joplin to see the cardiologist! Justin and I had talked to her the night before and told her that they would put a wand (we used the TV remote! Who knew it was so functional?) on her tummy and when they did she would be able to see her heart and hear it on a TV! She didn't think that sounded to bad!
The first thing they did was an EKG which caught me off gaurd! I didn't know that was going to be done so I wasn't able to explain it to her! I sat on the bed with her and she layed so perfectly still and just smiled at Nana and I! It took the nurse longer to hook up everything then it did to do the actual EKG!
After we saw the dr he ordered the ultrasound! The tech that did the ultrasound (Uncle Rick was his name) was soooo good with Riley! He even gave her a pic of her heart to take home and show to her Daddy! The ultrasound took a little longer but she was perfect! She layed on the bed and held my hand and whispered (I think that's the only time she has ever whispered in her life) to Nana a few times! After the ultrasound the dr saw us again and told us that she was perfect!
For being the perfect patient, Nana and I took her to the mall and let her pick out the cookie of her choice! We spent the rest of the day goofing off with nana in Joplin! I had 2 very tired girls at the end of the day!!

A look back on one year!

These are very out of order! Oh Well! I know I've already said this but I can't believe that my last baby is one! She is such a happy girl and such a blessing to our family! Here's a few pics from the past year!
She would be about 5 1/2 months here!

Almost 7 months! She'll hate me for this pic someday but I love it!

This pic was taken just before we ran out the door for X-mas eve mass! Yes, ran! No matter what time we start getting ready we are always running late for church!!

11 months old!

4 months old! Big sister is helping with bath time! She's been such a good big sister!

Almost 4 months old! This was at the lake!

The day we came home! Riley and Justin came to pick us up! Daddy & Riley bought Kinsey her outfit to come home in! It rained the few days we were in the hospital but the weather was beautiful the day we went home!

The day after she was born! Justin said Riley woke up that morning and said "Daddy lets go see mommy and Kinsey!"

Just minutes after her arrival! We didn't know if we were having a boy, girl, or a puppy(Riley's world) so when Justin called my mom and told her to bring Riley he wouldn't tell her if it was a boy or a girl! Mom had to wait until she got to the hospital to find out that we had another girl! I really thought I was having a boy b/c what were the odds that we'd have 3 girls in a row!? Apparently really good!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KINSEY!

I can't believe that our last baby is one! It makes me sooo sad! Where did the time go??
Anyways, Sunday we had Kinsey's b-day party at our house with family and a few close friends! I think she had a good time! She wasn't sure about the cake until Daddy gave her a little taste! That was all it took! She had no problems diving in with both hands! Here's some pics from our afternoon!

This is her rocking lamb from Nana and Dado! It's been a pretty big hit!

Uncle JJ stealing a bite of cake! She didn't like sharing her cake! They share a b-day so he felt he had just as much of a right to the cake as she did! She thought other wise! Happy Bday Uncle JJ!

The birthday hat lasted just long enough for me to take this pic! It's the only pic of her in it! That's how long she left it!

Our smiley bday girl!!

Our wonderful cake! I wish I could take credit but I must give credit to Lori's Creative Cakes in Oswego! She does an awesome job!!
