We have been having a GREAT fall!! But...with all the fun we have been having, that means I have been a HORRIBLE blogger! I figured it was time for an update...but didn't want to bore you with a million make-up posts! So..I give you our Fall 2009 Slideshow! Enjoy!

We are having a.......

It's about time!!

Wow. I am such a slacker!! I have just NOT been in the mood to blog!! :) We've been getting used to the new Fall schedule that includes school, dance lessons, doctors appointments and lots more!! Kylee LOVES school and wishes that Kindergarten was every day!! They started a new schedule for the kinders this year...instead of everyday for 1/2 day...they are on a rotation...Kylee goes every Tues/Thurs and every other Monday...FULL days. She comes home tired from a full day of school...but then HATES not being able to go every day!! She says she wishes she didn't have to have days off!! Her teacher is awesome and I'm so glad that Kylee loves school!! Brooklyn has adjusted to being home by herself...in fact, she LOVES it!! She loves having my full attention...and getting to play with all the toys...especially Kylee's toys! :)

Kylee has wanted to ride her bike to school like alot of the other kids, but I told her she couldn't do it if she still had training wheels on her bike. So...she convinced us to let her try it without them...and SHE DID IT!! Luckily no big falls...yet!! She did really good while Drew was running beside her, and could totally do it alone. But...she couldn't get herself started. Then later, she was tired of waiting for us to come help her...and she just did it...first try...THERE SHE GOES!!

Brooklyn and I made brownies today...and she just HAD to lick the bowl when we were done!!

My little chocolate lover just had to get it all...couldn't miss out on any of the chocolate goodness!! :)

There is no turning back now!!

Well...the day is finally here! Kylee started Kindergarten today!! She was SO SO SO excited! We went and met her teacher Tuesday night and she has talked non-stop about school ever since!

I can't believe she is big enough for Kindergarten!!
Brooklyn was SO sad today! She cried when we left Kylee at school...she sure is going to miss her big sister! Showing off her new backpack!

And she's off!! I love living so close to the school that we can walk!

Getting her nametag from her teacher, Mrs. Parke!

Me and my sweet girl...I'm going to miss her while she's at school!!

It's about time!!

See this little girl???

She's FINALLY wearing big girl unders!!! WHOO-HOO!! Way to go Boo!! You did it! We are so proud of you!

(even if it took over 6 months and you drove your mom CRAZY!!)

SO BUSTED!!!

Here is what I found when I downloaded pictures the other day....A picture of Kylee's foot...she must REALLY like those socks!!

Sister feet!!

A personal favorite of mine...my Sonic cup!
A self portrait of Kylee Rae..who looks a little sleepy!!

proof that my girls' hair is not always done!! :)

an EXTREME close-up of Brooklyn!

And this next one...is my favorite...because it TOTALLY busted my usually sweet Kylee!!!

Can you believe her?!?! Stickin' her tounge out like a naughty little girl!!

My girls are obsessed with my camera...takin pictures of ANYTHING...as proven above! But do you think they take just ONE picture of something...OH NO...they take about a gazillion shots of the SAME THING!! It drives me nuts deleting them, but every once in a while they get some good ones! :) Gotta love 'em!

Family comes!!

We had family come to visit this last week...it was so much fun! We haven't seen them in forever and it was great to spend time with them!! My sis-in-law Robin, her hubby Chris, and their 3 cuties...Lacee, Kenzee, and Zac, and my other sis-in-law, Christie. My girls were in HEAVEN!! They loved having their cousins here...even if was crazy from sun-up to sun-down!! I'm going to warn you now...this will be a PICTURE OVERLOAD...but, we did so much, that I couldn't leave anything out!! :)

This is how each morning started....breakfast outside!!

The girls swimming at Lakeview...they loved it!! And so did we!!
LOTS of time on the trampoline!

We spent the day at Roaring Springs...Brooklyn just taking a little break!! :)

Dad and Boo cheesin' at Roaring Springs.

I LOVE this girl!!

Kylee and Lacee in the pool...these two were inseperable!

Mom and Boo...she was just a little excited to be swimming!!

This is how most nights were....totally exhausted little girls!

We went up to Horseshoe Bend one day...packed a picnic and found this fun little spot on the Payette River!

Kylee and Lacee...they loved taking pictures!

You can't come visit at our house and not be introduced to the "Big Ben"!! My hubby has been obsessed with creating the perfect hamburger...well, he thinks he finally suceeded!! The thing is HUGE!! 2 patties...pepperjack cheese...bacon...pastrami...and to top it off...and egg on top! Anyone who eats it is CRAZY I think!! I personally have never...and will never try one! But...he loves it and loves making it for friends!!

We were so happy to have these guys come visit...we had so much fun and can't wait to do it again!!

Coldplay--Billie Jean

I love this!!! I have had it on repeat on my laptop all morning!! Enjoy! Pause my music player first!! :)

A week full of fun!!

What a week it was! The girls and I packed up and headed to Eastern Idaho for the week! My parents were up at my aunt's cabin, so while the hubby was working, we were playing!! We had so much fun, the girls loved playing with lots of family, and it was a great getaway!! We did so much...and we are still recovering from all the fun!! Drew came over for the always wonderful Idaho Falls Fireworks and festivies, and as usual, it did not disappoint!! Here is a slideshow of our week of fun!!
