~Birthday Interview~

I hope you can read all the things! I love this idea and am glad I found it and I hope to remember to ask these same questions at every birthday.

~Milestone pictures~

 It was two separate appointments but I got the girls 3 year and 6 month pictures. They all turned out so cute it was SO hard to chose which ones to get!!! I get the ones of them in red back on Friday. I'm so excited to put them up in my house for everyone to enjoy. I love these two so much!!! I don't know how we got so lucky and have these two beautiful girls!









 These ones also had Nick's 5 year pictures. And Brinlee and Paizlee Grandma's dogs!

 Kimberly and her favorite thing in the whole world her blankie!

 01. She knows her name.
02. A binkie baby
03. Went hiking for the first time
04. Loves blowing raspberries with her tongue
05. Has learned a scream. (We think she learned it from they way Kimberly baby talks to her, it's rather annoying)
06. LOVES the bath, if she is upset all you have to do is put her in an inch of water and let her kick away.
07. Everything goes straight to her mouth
08. She gives kisses. (Its mainly just sucking on my chin but she does it over and over and gets a big smile every time) Melts my heart!
09. Pretty much sleeps through the night. Gets up once and awhile but I just give her the binky and she goes back to sleep.
10. Not sure if she likes the sound or the feeling or both, but she loves scratching her fingers on everything. (Couch, her sheets, her car seat, etc)
11. Started eating cereal out of bowl seems to be doing better this time then before.
 12. Starting to have stranger anxiety

Ali makes this face often these days. (Well without her eyes closed that is just how I got the picture)




 They really do love each other!!!!!

~The 'RED' Party~

 ~Kimberly's 3rd birthday party~
For the last month and a half Kimberly has been saying she wanted a RED party with animals. It was more the red party but every now and again she wanted animals also. So..... the planning began. I was liking the red theme. It was pretty easy to find things for it. Every time everyone would ask her what she wanted for her birthday she would always say "red party". It was a little hard to find gifts for her but she ended up getting some really fun stuff and some really cute clothes.

The Invite

 Here birthday breakfast was cinnamon rolls! mmm......
 We had her party at the park by our house. We were worried about the weather but it was a perfect day. She played with her friends, had pizza, road on a little train we found down the street from the park, broke the pinata, sang to the birthday girl and then opened presents. I think she had a great day!!!!
She was so excited it was her birthday, she is saying here "It's my birthday and I'm free (three)"
 All her friends!
Ali, Lexi, Emma, Ariana, Kimberly, Nick, Anela, Kaydence, Dominick
Gerry
 Trying to hold up three fingers. We are working on it!
 I made her cake! I found this flower online and figured it would be easy to make. It was pretty easy, the only thing was to make the red frosting I had to use a lot of red dye. So it turned every ones mouth red that had some. oops!!!!
 My little buddy Kay Kay(Love this girl so much)
 Kimberly helping daddy fill her pinata
 Having fun on the playground in her cute red dress!
 I don't know why these pictures are out of order but oh well...
This is when we were singing to Kimberly. It was so cute watching how happy she was to be sang to. And after she said so sweet "thank you"


 It took her a couple tries but she got it.
 All her great presents. Thank you everyone!!!

 Daddy likes teasing his little girl
And I know it seems weird but Jeremy and I got Kimberly a radio, rocket clock that shines stars on the ceiling, and a sweeper vacuum. She has so many toys we didn't know what to get her and these things she loves. I know weird!!!

 This is the little train we found down the street it was a surprise for everyone. It was kind of funny Jeremy told me about it so we walked down to check it out but didn't tell anyone. So when we got back we told them we went "yard sale shopping". They were all confused until the train came to the park and took the kids for a ride!! I think they all loved it.



 They loved the pinata! It was the first pinata for Kimberly but she did a good job of hitting it. Next time we will need a better bat! But it did give them a good chance to hit it A LOT!


Thank you, Thank you for everyone that joined us it made a perfect birthday for our little 3 year old. Still can't believe she is 3!!!!

~Baby sitting~

 I have officially started baby sitting again. I took some time off after I had Ali and then Danielle took some time off after having Kamden so it has been 5 or so months sense I have babysat. I have been watching Anela for a couple hours on Mondays and Tuesdays but this last Tuesday was my first day with all 5 kids. I was a little worried but it ended up being a good day. Kamden took three really good naps (through all the noise) and all the kids seemed to be in a good mood. I also got all 4 kids (Anela was gone by this time) down for a nap at the same time. I know they may not all be this good but lets cross our fingers! 
Here is Kamden(3 months) and Ali (5 1/2 months)

 Ali loved looking at the book......
 .....and even liked chowing on it more
 Kaydence, Kimberly, and Anela wanted to sing for me! I loved there concert!
 Kaydence (2 1/2) Kimberly (almost 3) and Anela (5 1/2)

 Tonight I put shampoo in the bath to make bubbles and it made so many! Kimberly was loving them. She loves playing in the bath!
