Peek - A - Boo Baby!!!!

  

This is KortLyn in the motel playing Peek - A- Boo in her blanket.   She is such a funny girl and was so good on our trip. 

E.T. Phone Home with Grandma

Grandma (Grandma in Logan as the girls call her) and KortLyn were playing peek - A - boo and E.T. Phone home and it was so dang cute and KortLyn thought it was so fun.  My mom would get on one side of the chair and KortLyn on the other and stick their pointer fingers in the slots and touch them.  What a silly girl.  And then of course Grandma had to hold the little snuggle bug and tell her how much she loves her.  I would have to say KortLyn is also quit the Grandma's girl.

Daily activity for the Babe

KortLyn loves to play with her toys.  Kesson often joins in and plays right along with her.  I sometimes wish I could be a kid and have my only worries be toys, food and of course the next time my mom and dad will cuddle me.  

McKesson loves the computer.  Our library here has games that are online and Kesson loves to play them.  Some are for fun and some are educational.  I have to admit that I like to play them myself. 

KortLyn with G-pa

KortLyn loves her Grandpa a lot and loves to growl at him.  It becomes a competition to see who can growl the deepest and loudest.   Grandpa Patrick (this is what the kids call him) is such a great Grandpa and the girls adore him.  Thanks Grandpa for all you do for us. 

KortLyn and Blue Eyes

This is KortLyn and our cat Blue Eyes.  Blue Eyes loves to play by her all the time.  Where ever KortLyn is Blue eyes will be.  KortLyn is really gentle with her and Blue Eyes soaks in all of the pampering she gets from her.  

Da - Da...

Okay so the competition is over.  KortLyn is now saying "Da Da".   It is so cute and thrills Randy to death.  She is such a sweetheart and the love of our lives.  The girls think she is the best thing since sliced bread.  It makes it so much fun to see the older girls love her so much.  Now if she would just crawl.  She has been trying to crawl but hasn't got it down as of yet.  KortLyn still to this day has rolled over twice in her life.  What's up with that?  I have always said that she just needs to stay little forever and she is doing a great job of it. She has such a fun and cute personality and makes us laugh all the time.  When she was little we would all fight over who got to hold her first, usually that wears off in time, but in our home it is still the race to see who can get her out of bed first and who can hold her next and so on.  I guess some things never change. Maybe that is why she is so content with life and would prefer to just sit there and hang out.  

Take Your Hats Off

KodiAnn had a third grade program at school called Take Your Hats Off.  She is so not like me and shy.  She got up there with confidence and was not scared  a bit.  I am so proud of her.  KodiAnn and Keesha sang a song together called if the Cookie Jar is Empty.  They did a great job and should be very proud of themselves.  Great job girls!!!  

The day has come.....

Yeah, I am so excited!!!!  KortLyn now says "MaMa"....

We have been trying to get her to say "DaDa" but she won't.  I guess it's not on the top of her priority list. :) Sorry Randall for your luck, she is still a MaMa's girl!   It is so dang cute when she gets upset or sees me walk by she says "MaMa" and I Love It.....  

Drama - Drama - Drama

Okay this morning was so incredibly full of drama in our house.   Anyone that knows our little McKesson knows that she is the most determined child on earth.  Her hair, her clothes, her shoes, her whole everything is never just right.  She knows exactly how things should look and be done and that is just the way it is. Getting ready for the day is always a traumatic experience for her.  Maybe I should just take her out naked once.  Do you think it would change anything?  So this morning was an interesting one.  Since Randy and I are sick we thought we would send the girls to church with Grandma and Grandpa (thanks G&G).  All the girls got dressed, brushed their teeth and I got their hair done.  McKenzie came to get them and I noticed McKesson had no tights or shoes on.  I told her she needed to get them and put them on.  She then decided to have a total come apart and threw herself on the floor and started kicking and screaming because she thinks her tights fall off her bum.  Who in the world has tights that fall off their bum?  So I got them and proceeded to put them on her as she was kicking and screaming, all the while I was trying to explain to her that it is cold outside and she has been sick so she needed to wear them.  She still insisted to throw her fit, so Randy picked her up and put her in her bedroom and told her she wasn't going to church if she was going to act like that.  In the meantime the other girls left. 

So I got a phone call this afternoon from Randy's Aunt telling me they asked MaKayja where McKesson was and she said in a very matter a fact way "she wouldn't wear her tights so she didn't get to come to church." Cindy thought it was so funny so she had to call and tell me about it.  Then later I checked my facebook and there was a message from a friend telling me the story and how funny her husband thought it was.  He got the biggest kick out of it.  

I tell you kids and there honesty.  You can't get away with anything at all.  I wonder what the Bishop would think if he knew?  Can you really keep your child home over tights? 

Life in Our Home

I really need to post some new pictures but I don't have any that are fun and exciting.  The last week an a half has been rough in our house. We all have decided to get the flu -  fevers, body aches, ear infections, coughing, sore throats, chest cold and sinus infections.  What more can I mention? KortLyn got really sick and still has not gotten all the way over it.  I am crossing my fingers that she is on the winning end though. Then McKesson and MaKayja decided it was their turn, but they are doing a lot better.  And of course now it is Randy and I's turn.  And last but not least KodiAnn is doing great.  That girl never gets sick - lucky her!  I really hope it will all just disappear soon, because it stinks!

Just the Girls.... Valentine's Dinner

Kesson and Brittney

KodiAnn and Brynlee

Brittney and MaKayja

Just the girls!!!

We had a fun filled day on Valentine's Day!!!  Randy and Brandon had to go to work so Stacy and I decided that we would spend Valentine's Day together with the girls.  We made a yummy dinner and ate by candle light.  We gave the girls little bags with socks, bubble gum and finger nail polish in them.  The girls played and played,  and we set up Stacy's blog (yeah, it's about time, girl).   Anyways thanks Stac it was a ton of fun and I am so glad we got to enjoy the day together with the girls!!! 

Jasper the Friendly Cat...

This is our new cat.  Since Missy came up missing a couple of months ago the girls have been so sad.  When we went to my brothers house this weekend he needed to find a new home for Jasper so he is now the new addition to the family.  The girls think he needs to live in the house but I say "NOOO" outside is a fine place for him.  

Little Miss Lady Bug!

Randy gave all of the girls a big stuffed animal for Valentine's Day.  KortLyn absolutely loves hers.  The girls think it is fun to sit her on it because she gets so excited.  

We love you KortLyn Shay you are our little Lady Bug........
