McKesson Ann

So we went and took family pictures a couple of weeks ago.  Unfortunately I was so disappointed in the job they did.  I decided to come home and take a picture of McKesson on my own and this is the end result.  Who says you have to go to the studio to have cute pictures, just take them at home.  

1st Grade Manners Tea

Every year the first grade does a Manners Tea for the school and parents.   They have so much fun and work hard for a long time to learn all of the dances.  I always get the biggest kick when they do the chicken dance, it is so dang cute.  MaKayja was dancing with her partner who was Miles and she would get a little bossy when she felt he wasn't doing the things that she thought he should do.  Sometimes it was even the eye and her saying "Miles" with a cute little smile to catch his attention.  She is so full of personality and spunk sometimes I wonder.  After they perform they get to have the manners tea, and have cake, nuts and a drink.  After this is all done they get to have their usual class Valentine's party.  What a fun day for her and a joy for all of us to watch.  Good Job Sissy!!!!! 

50's Murder Party

Friday night Aunt Kelly and Uncle Justin hosted a murder party and we had a complete blast. For those that don't know what these are, they are a completely fun.  The theme for this one was the 50's. . You all have a script and a person that you are going to play, you dress up as that person and act out their part.  In the end of the game you try to guess who the murderer is.  On this one, the murder took place while they were all having a BBQ,  a storm came up so all of the players went inside the house except the guy that got murdered.  But there is always twists in it so the it is hard to figure out who actually did the murder. In this one Shahna was the murderer and she was also the fiance of the guy who had been killed.  (what is it with you girl you are always the murder in the end).  You also have dinner, so since this was a 50's theme and a BBQ one we had hamburgers,  fries and milk shakes.  Yum, Yum!!  Anyways if you haven't hosted one of these they are well worth it and so much fun.  Thanks Justin and Kelly for the great night.

aLl BuNdLeD uP.....

A couple of weeks ago I was so tired of being cooped up in the house after having my hysterectomy, so I told Randy lets go for a walk. The sun was shinning and I thought maybe having a little fresh air would give me the pick up that was way overdue. We bundled up KortLyn and McKesson and went for a stroll and had a great time. I thought she looked so cute in her puffy coat and hat with her little rosy cheeks, so I had to take a picture.

Silly Girl...

KortLyn makes us laugh all the time with the silly things she does. If there is a burp cloth around it has to be in the mouth hanging out like a dog with a toy. The best part is she often growls at the same time. What a joy she is to have in our home. We love you little one!!

Oh, Beeny Baby...

As anyone can imagine with a house full of all girls (and of course Dad) they are often playing dress up. We have all kinds of dress ups from fairies to princesses to doctors and of course the cow costume. Anyways MaKayja and McKesson thought it would be fun to dress up KortLyn a little, so they found this little beeny hat. I thought she looked so cute and had to have a snapshot of it. She is such a little cutie!!

Exercise

Okay so MaKayja and McKesson were playing the other night and walked out of their room in this little get up (gotta love it, right). Anyways the next thing we knew they had put in the exercise DVD and were goin to town. Randy and I were laughing so hard I think we could have wet our pants. All while this was going on and we were laughing so hard they could have cared less and continued with all the fun. Man I wish I had the energy they have (maybe I would look half way decent in a swimsuit in that case, the things we can learn from our kids if we would just follow their example). Oh and, gotta love the sports bras, right.

What is it with kids and boxes?

I remember being little and some of my best memories were in a box. And so the story goes on with our girls. KodiAnn and MaKayja thought it would be pretty funny to put KortLyn in a box. She thought it was so much fun and laughed and cooed and had a great time. I guess we need to keep a box around at all times because it is the cheapest toy a child could have.

Holy Cow... She is 9!!!

So KodiAnn had a really fun birthday party and enjoyed everything she got. I am having a really hard time excepting that she is 9 years old. Either I am really old and feeling like she is getting older, or she is still young and I am still a spring chicken. Which is it?

Her fun scrapbook stuff she wanted so bad

For Christmas we got the game sing pop for the PlayStation. So we got the whole family in on it and were having singing competitions. We had a complete blast and laughed our butts off. Needless to say KodiAnn kicks my rear on the game and wins me everytime. She is awesome. It is so fun to have the kids sing and then do a play back for them to hear themselves singing. They laugh and think it is so funny. I really don't like to hear myself, I already know that I am the worlds worst singer so I don't need to hear it to remind myself. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with her on her special day.... We love you!!! Mom and Patrick we missed you two and are waiting patiently for the house in Pocatello to get done so you can party with the rest of us.

Yah... She is sitting up!!!

Okay so should I be sad that she is my last and sitting up, or should I celebrate? Mmmmm..... I think alittle of both. Okay, I will be fine for now but don't ask me how I feel when she starts to crawl or walk. I will need a box of kleenex for that day. She gets so excited and thinks she is the biggest thing ever to be able to sit up and play with her toys. One thing for sure is it makes things alittle easier, I think we can retire the bumbo.

The new pink BB gun........

KodiAnn got a new BB gun for Christmas from Santa. Of course it had to be PiNk.... What more can you expect with a house full of girls. Randy took them out shooting and had a blast with them. I always tell him you don't have to have boys to enjoy the boy sports in life. I think he is now learning this is so true. The girls love to shoot, hunt, play in the mud and go to the barn with their Dad.

7 Months Old

KortLyn Shay is now 7 months old and getting bigger and bigger. She still to this day has not rolled over or sat up. She is so content with life she would rather hang out and do nothing but smile, talk and giggle. She is our little pride and joy. We LoVe HeR aLoT....

Silly Girl......

KortLyn loves to sit in the sink and hang out with me when I get ready in the morning. She talks and talks the whole time. I am sure she is saying "get me out of this sink, I can't breath with all the hairspray fumes."

He'S SeRiOuSlY tHe BeSt!!!!!

Okay so I have to say that I have the sweetest husband in the world. I went to Preston tonight with Shelby (Randy's little sister) and the girls to get their hair done. On the way home I called Randy to let him know that we were on our way home and he said that "he was bored and missed us." When we got home he had posted this message to us on the blog (read below). He is the sweetest man in the world and I could not imagine my life without him. He is an awesome Dad and loves his little girls so much.
LoVe Ya BaBe!!!!!!!
Cassie

I love all my 5 girls and miss them even when the hormones are raging. I love you honey with all my heart. I think of you and the girls all the time.
Love You,
Randy
