New Hairdos!!

Kaylee has been asking for a long time to get her hair cut. I have been putting it off, telling her she had to wait until baseball season is over. We think it is so cute to see her ponytail hang out of the back of her hat and swish back and forth when she is running the bases.

Saturday morning I went to some garage sales and before leaving the house asked Kaylee is she would please help Kevin while I was gone. She said, "if I am good, will you please take me to get my hair cut?" How could I resist. Long story short...she was excellent for Kevin. :)

Kambria also wanted her hair cut. So we went on a girl outing to get hair cuts. Here are the pics before we left the house...

Both of the girls knew exactly how they wanted their hair to look. When we got to the salon, they both looked at a book to show the stylist how they wanted it to look. I was so impressed with how well they could explain what they wanted and that I didn't have to try and talk them into something different.

When the stylist was asking Kambria how long she wanted the front of her hair, she said, "long enough to do this" and tucked her hair behind her ears. She said, "I always put my hair behind my ears." It was so cute.

I kept teasing them that I walked into the salon with my girls and found two different girls to bring home. They were both so pleased with how their hair looks. Here are the girls I took out of the salon with me.

Preschool Graduation

Wednesday, May 20th was Kambria's preschool graduation. Since Kevin is done with work until June he was also able to go see the program. The teachers and the kids did a great job on the program. Kambria dressed up as a ballerina, cowgirl, frog and other fun things throughout the play. She never took her eyes off of us. Everytime I have helped in class or have gone to programs at school, she keeps constant eye contact with me. Her teachers always say what a great girl she is and how much enthusiasm she has for life. They appreciated the joy she brought with her and how well she was behaved. She is so cute and always smiling. She is really looking forward to Kindergarten in the fall. She will be going all day, which will be quite an adjustment for her and for mom. :)

Mother's Day!

Mother's Day was a great one around here. I was surprised by a new camera to help me document our crazy and fun life around here. Kevin had been dropping hints all week. He was saying things like, "We are missing our kids lives by not taking pictures of them and not having a good camera." I didn't get the hint, just kept feeling guilty for not being able to take good pics. So anyway, the kids were very excited to have me open up my wonderful camera. I had a great time taking pics yesterday. So here are a few of my favorites.

Kolbi has finally mastered sitting up and being happy about it. She is always so busy that it took her a long time to sit up without falling over. Now I think she understands that if she swings her arms around, she is gonna fall.

Kaylee has lost two teeth. Because she is one of the youngest in her class she is one of the last to lose a tooth. She was very excited! Kaylee is so fun! She is a good girl. She is always wanting to please others and make them feel good. It is so hard to believe she is almost done with 1st grade.

This is the pose Kambria gave me today. She is so funny and always has a joke. She is our most active personality. She has become such a great helper. Kolbi smiles and gets so excited when we pick Kambria up from preschool. They are great friends and Kambria loves making Kolbi laugh. We love her funny faces and funny stories.

Here is Kyle holding our cheesecake dessert we had for Mother's Day! Kyle was a great helper in the kitchen for Mother's Day. Kyle is so smart and has a great memory. He remembers things about places we have lived that I have forgotten. He is always bringing up things we did with him when he was younger. He is a great big brother and his sisters love him so much!!

Kolbi is eating baby food now! It took her quite some time to develop the appetite for food, but she is finally liking it. It has to be chunky though. She doesn't like things that are pureed too much. I love baby food faces!!

This is a pretty pathetic picture of an absolutely delicious dinner!!! Kevin made Lemon Broccoli Chicken for Mother's Day. It was very special and brought back wonderful memories.

When Kevin and I were engaged, he surprised me by making me a candle light dinner. He made Lemon Broccoli Chicken. The meal was so wonderful and I remember thinking I had a good catch. Not only was he nice and fun to be with, but he could cook too!! I am so fortunate that he loves cooking. What a great guy!! Thank you for a great Mother's Day and for bringing back great memories!!

Couldn't resist including this angelic picture! I love sleeping babies! It makes me feel so close to heaven and how peaceful it will be there!

Also couldn't resist this picture. Kevin and Kolbi fell asleep while I was talking to a friend on the phone. Aren't they cute?! Kevin is such a great dad and loves his kids so much. My kids have all looked so much like Kevin when they were babies and then as they have gotten older they each got their own look. It will be fun to see how Kolbi changes.

One more picture of our little china doll. This is her Mother's Day outfit. She looked so cute! We all love our happy little girl!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you mothers!!
