Silly Lacey

Silly little Lacey...

Lacey loves to be silly, most of the time she's silly without any effort...she just is 

She has a sweet, cuddly side and then the REALLY silly, wacky side 

She is so much fun to be around, we love her so much.  Even when she does stick her tongue out at us ;-)

Kylie's new do!

Recently Kylie got her hair cut.

She donated 10 inches to locks of love.  They make wigs for children that have diseases that cause them to lose their hair.  Kylie donated her hair in her Nana's honor.  Nana recently passed away due to lung cancer.

I absolutly love the innocense in this photo.

This one shows off her personality!

Deep thoughts.. 

Love her! 

We think she looks great!  Although Daddy can't wait for her hair to grow long again.  She told him she would grow it out again so that she could keep donating it.

Slip 'n' Slide!

The girls love to play on the slip n slide!

See for yourself...

Happy 8th Anniversary to my Husband!

Eight years ago today I married my best friend.  Three beautiful daughters later, I still kinda like him...just kidding!  You are an amazing father and wonderful husband.

I love you.

Lacey...

Lately Lacey has been talking a lot about when she grows up. It's really cute the things she comes up with, here is what I heard this morning:

"Mommy when I grow up an be a Dad I gonna cook"

"Today is my daddy's brday, he is 30-10 today"

"When I grow up and be a Mom I not gonna have a wa-wa (pacifier)"
How many kids are you going to have?
I gonna have all the kids. (she held up her hand with all 5 fingers showing)
That's a lot of kids
I, I, gonna have 2 kids. (she held up her hand to show me 2 fingers)
That's a nice number, what are you going to name them?
I gonna name them Tiny Tim!  (she was serious....)

She is so much fun to listen to.  Both her and Kylie usually have something funny they say at least once a day...sometimes more... :-)

Happy Birthday my wonderful husband!!!

Happy Birthday!

We love you!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day

Love, Your Girls  :-)

Birthday wishes...

Saturday will be my birthday.  Today Kylie and I were outside and I asked her to pick up her bike and apparently she didn't hear me...ahem    This is the conversation that followed as I was walking to pick up her bike...

"Kylie for my birthday I'm going to wish that just once that my kids would do what I ask the first time I ask them to do it.  Rather than waiting for me to ask 13 times."

"Well that's pretty much not going to happen"

"Why, not?"

"Because your not supposed to tell your wish!"

"Well then I'll have to change it a bit so maybe will...."

"I don't think it will work...."

This child is waay too smart for both our goods!

Heard around my house this week...

Lacey: "Mommy wook Wexi is the the potty cave (litter box)! Maybe I need to see her in there?"

Me: "No you need to stay out of the potty cave"

Lacey: "Maybe if I be a cat, den I can go in the potty cave and see her."

Me: "Yes, if you were a cat then you could go in the potty cave"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: Kylie where's Lexi (the cat)?
 
Kylie's response "oh behind the tree, cleaning herself.  a girls gotta keep herself clean ya know....always" said with had on her hip

Girls just wanna have fun!

Here's to lovin' all my baby girls...

Aren't they the cutest girls you've ever seen?!

I think so too... ;-)

Lacey's Photoshoot with Daddy

Daddy did a photoshoot with Lacey too!

These two are my favorites! 

Daddy did an awesome job on these.  They really capture her personality!

 She is such a fun little girl to be around.  She makes us laugh just about everyday. 

Daddy did a great job!

Kylie's Photoshoot with Daddy

Daddy got a hold of the camera the other day and these pictures are the result!

The pictures above and below are my absolute favorite. 

 The day these pictures were taken is the day she had field day at school. 

 I think the face painting adds to the character of the picture. 

 

She is so photogenic, I love it.  I think Daddy did a great job on these pictures don't you?!

He's got a great eye for pictures.  Great job sweetheart!!!

Katie's 4 Month Doctor Appointment

Recently Mis Katie had her 4 month well child checkup.  She did great and is growing like crazy!  I guess they do that when you feed them.  ha ha

Here are her stats:

Weight:  16 pounds 13 ounces

Length: 25 1/4 inches

She is in the 90 th percentile for her weight and 75th percentile for her length.  She is my biggest baby, at 4 months old Kylie was 15lbs 13oz and Lacey was 14 lbs and 12 oz.  Kylie still holds the title as the longest at this stage, she was 25.5 inches at 4 months old.

Dr C was happy with her progress and development.  I can start her on solids whenever I'm ready.  So far I don't feel like she needs them, she is satisfied with just milk.

The pictures on the top and bottom of this post are my attempt to take my own pictures of Katie.  Greg keeps telling me I can do a good job and I should take my own rather than paying someone else to take her pictures.  I'm trying however I am still not sold on the idea just yet. :-)

 I love this picture, I think it's the first time she's noticed that she has toes!

Field Day with Kylie

Field Day at school with Kylie was lots of fun.  All of the kids seemed to have tons of fun!

 They had  face painting, lots of sports activities, a picinic, and I think the favorite...a water ballon fight!  The kids thought that was great!

My personal favorite it the plunger races.  The looks on the kids faces is priceless!

While waiting their turn at the various activities the kids played on the playground.  And of course Kylie is never one to shy away from the camera struck this pose for me.  I love it, it's so full of life...so her.

One of the other things they did before the picinic was tie-dyed shirts.  Each class wore a different color, I thought it was a great way for the teachers to be able to keep track of their classes.  Kylie's 1st grade class wore purple.  All of the t-shirts looked cute on the kids.

We have really enjoyed our time at this school.  It's a little sad knowing this will be the last time we will see most of the kids.  This is Kylie's teacher Ms. Frucci.  She was a wonderful teacher with lots of patience.  Kylie said the other day that she thought she was going to grow up and be 'just like Ms Frucci'.  I asked her what she meant and she said 'you know, nice like her!'  I thought this was such a sweet thing for her to say about her teacher, and I agree Ms Frucci you are a 'NICE' teacher!

Lacey's Picnic

Today I spent my morning at the her daycare/preschools annual end of the year picinc.  The weather was beautiful, couldn't have asked for a nicer day.

 Lacey is quite the little daredevil.  One minute she is driving the car with her friend Carson and the next minute I look up and see this....

Below you can see how big this slide really is, I have admit I was a bit scared when I saw her up there.  I went over to help her and she said "I not know how to do dis'

I told just give herself a little push and come down.  She did just that and let me tell you that slide is like a rocket, she flew down it and if I hadn't been standing there she would have went right off the end!

The above picture is my personal favorite of the whole day.  She loved playing in the little house and spent a lot of her time in it.

You can see how warm it is, her cheeks are turning pink!  Love the static in her hair!

Loving her horses.

She and I had a great time, it was nice to have some one on one time with just Lacey.  She doesn't get that very often and soaks it up when she does...she is just so lovable and fun to be around.
