Horse Ridin'

Today the big girls had their first horse riding lessons

Nana would have been so proud of them.  They both listened intently to their instructor.

Kylie was a natural, she loved it when she got her horse to trot!  You can see her smile in the picture, it was great!

Lacey totally enjoyed herself too, she was SO excited to be riding a horsey!

She did a great job listening too!  The face she is making is the 'I'm having so much fun, but trying REALLY hard not to smile' face!  LOL

She really thought she was something else when she got to  help lead her horse out of the arena.

They can't wait to go back!

The Cemetary

We happen to live behind a very nice cemetary.  Is that weird to say nice cemetary?  I don't know but it has a very peaceful feeling when you are there.

It's also a GREAT place to go to ride bikes.  Kylie had so much fun because she was able to ride and ride without having to worry about cars.

It was nice for me too to not have to constantly worry about cars and just be able to let her have her space to ride and think :)

Lacey loved it too!

Although after about 15 minutes she said her knees hurt and she rode/walked her bike back to the car and then walked the rest of the time we were at the cemetary.

Katie was totatally mesmorized by this beautiful granite picture of Jesus.  I know she stood there for at least 2-3 minutes still staring at the picture.

She also loved the openness and being able to roam free.

We had a nice time and I'm sure the girls will be asking to go back to ride or walk again.

Katie's First Year in pictures

This video is waaay late, my baby girl just turned 18 months old yesterday!  Time flies for sure.  I still wanted to make this video for her.  I try to do one for each of the girls on their birthdays. I think it will be fun for both us and them to look back at these videos!


We love you Katie Bug, you have been a WONDERFUL addition to our family.
