As I suspected

So just as I thought I really am not good at keeping an updated blog. I was never good at keeping a journal either except a year or two during high school when I wrote almost everyday. Those entries mostly stared with "I didn't go to school today...". Anyhow here are a few more recent photos.

Kayleigh is in love with the outside world. I am already scared for this winter when we will be trapped indoors. While deciding if we are moving in the next few months or not, we are yet to purchase a swing set. We did however get a sandbox. The first night after having it Kayleigh woke up around 3 or 4 am (something she rarely does anymore) saying "sandbox, sandbox, Kayleigh play sandbox, sandcastle" then just muttered "sandbox" every few minutes for about an hour before drifting back to sleep. It was so cute even in the middle of the night when we were exhausted. Because we don't have a fence yet and Kayleigh likes to get out of the sandbox and run I decided to try out my kid leash. She gets out of the sandbox and runs so fast I can't catch her before she hits the mine field of doggy doo. After putting the leash on her she decided that SHE was a dog and had to crawl around the yard barking and panting. Samsen was a little confused.

Where to begin? The girls are growing so fast. Since I last posted Kayleigh has turned 3. She has been potty trained for a good 6 months and I no longer have to worry about finding surprises after my shower! It's so nice that she can now go to the bathroom all on her own and take care of wiping, washing and dressing herself. I don't even have to worry about her getting into things while she's in there alone anymore. She amazes us everyday with things she says and does. She has a great sense of humor and wit like I've never seen on a 3 year old. One day I will start writing them down and share.... She is enjoying preschool and dance and loves all of her teachers. Those stories are for separate posts though. Laurelyn is now walking and talking, she puts 2 and 3 words together. She is old enough to fight back when Kayleigh takes her toy away and no longer falls for the toy switch out Kayleigh used to pull. She loves ice cream and whenever we pull into the maverick to get g...

Kayleigh is our never ending source of entertainment. There are too many funny things she does and says these days I couldn't keep track if I tried. So sometimes there are moments that I am able to capture on film. I always have my camera handy in the living room. The other day I gave Kayleigh her lunch and went to sit on the couch and talk to my mom on the phone for a minute. I hear Kayleigh yelling "get me down" get me down" which should have been the first clue. She normally says "get me out" Anyway I tell my Mom Kayleigh is done I have to get her. I walk into the kitchen and below is what I found. I say "WHAT are you doing!?" and she replies "I'm on a trapeze !" She is perfectly safe where she is so I grab the camera and while I'm turning it on I ask her "What do you mean, on a trapeze ?" She says "Like a clown, in circus" Crazy kid. As I take a picture she is relieved she is not in HUGE trouble and y...

Cookout

We don't keep a lot of dinner items in our house because we are rarely at home for dinner time. So any day we are home its "what are going to have for dinner?" On a whim the other night we decided to go up one of the canyons near our house, light a campfire and have hot dogs and smores . The problem is this is not something you should be doing on a whim with 2 young children. So we grabbed some stuff we would need and headed out before it got too dark. The campsite was not too far off the road and I was worried the whole time about Kayleigh running off. She stayed close to me except when she wanted to follow the dumb dog who did not want to stay close. Anyway as soon as we got there Joel headed out to find firewood and left me with the kids and the dog for a good 20minutes or more. I was trying to unload wrangle Kayleigh , occupy the baby and keep the dog and Kayleigh out of the road. I ended up laying the baby in the back of the car with the short tailgate up.. a m...
