Playing catch up again

Once again I have slacked off and made no posts all week, so here I am playing catch up!  We had a busy week filled with school, open house, games, and birthday party!   Bri and Camber came over Monday to hang out with us.  Camber and Lyida are two months apart and now that Lydia is getting older and interacting more, they love to lay on the floor and talk to each other:) 

They are getting so big!  Having them grow up together is going to be so fun, they will be BFF’s!

Tuesday night Bri and I went over to CDA for Doris’s birthday party.  We thought we would hang up our “mommy panties” for the night and have some fun being as 22yr olds:)  We had a blast but it was EXTREMLY hard for me to get up at 6am and go to school!!                  

Happy Birthday Doris!

We got back into town on Wednesday after a very fun night and LONG miserable day at school!  Uncle Matty had a soccer game that night so we watched that

                 Kaylynn and uncle Mark.  She just loves him, he’s so much fun:)

I just love this picture of Lydi                        Lydia, aunt Teresa, and uncle Mark:)  I am so glad my kids and I have such amazing family to grow up with:)

After the game we went to open house and Kaylynn’s school/daycare.  She showed us all around the place and showed us projects they have done.  I am so thankful she has such an great place to go to while I am away.  She loves it there!!!! 

 

OK well since this  is so long, I think I will post this and do another with last nights action:)

Rain, rain, go away….

It was bad weather almost this whole weekend, so we basically stayed indoors the whole time.  On Friday(17th) we decided to take the girls to the park, which was a great idea since we couldn't really get out the rest of the weekend. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The girl just LOVES to swing!!

She wanted to swing like this for some weird reason…to me it looks like it would hurt

Lyida enjoying time at the park:) 

How we were able to get all four of us to smile for the camera is a miracle! ha-ha

 

Since we were indoors most the weekend, I managed to get Kaylynn’s room cleaned out and organized.  Her bday is in two weeks and Xmas isnt too far away so I figured I better clear some things out before new things start coming in.  However, I did not manage to get much more of the house cleaned…oops;)  Guess that will be added to this weeks to-do list;)  Hopefully it will be nicer next weekend!  Its back to the work/school grind tomorrow so I better get off here and get things ready.  Good night:)

A whole new kind of attitude

So within the last couple weeks Kaylynn has really started throwing some fits.  I mean, I thought she threw some bad fits before, but this is way worse!  I dont know where all of it came from  but BAM one day she just came outta nowhere with it.  I never knew a 2 1/2 yr old could have such anger issues.  Tim and I are so tired of yelling and spanking, none of it even phases her, so we have taken a new approach to this nasty little attitude.  A friend of mine created a blog that talks about her journey through parenting using love and logic.  I really liked the idea ,so that is what we are trying now.  My mom has the actual book  so  I'm  going to read it to get a better understanding of it all, but so far it is working better than yelling and spanking.   I have been so worried that she has carried this behavior over to school, so I asked her teacher today how she has been doing and she said she hasn't been mean like I had told her she was at home, she said she has been doing really good, but  is EXTREMLY stubborn…go figure haha.  I am just glad my little “princess” is at least being a little nicer at school!  She really is still my princess though, as mean as she can be, all it takes is a little hug or kiss or an ‘i love you mommy” to melt my heart:)   On a lighter note, school for me is going great!  I had my 1st computers test today and I think I did very well….lets just say we had 2hrs to complete it and I was finished in 5 haha.  Im enjoying this “smart” feeling now because I know as we progress in the program I will start to loose that ha-ha.  Our poor little Lydi has been battling her 1st cold for the past week or so, running/congested nose, chest congestion, and today she was running a fever:(   Gotta love the “first signs of fall” colds.  Luckily she just goes to the shop with my mom while Im gone so neither Tim or I have had to miss work/school to stay home with her.  Fingers crossed Kaylynn stays healthy!!  I definantly going to start remembering to give her her vitamins!!! Here are a couple pictures from last  couple days

9-11-10  Its just too cute not to post:)

I am in love with her hair!  I always say how happy I am she was a girl with all this hair because if we had a boy I would be way to tempted to do all of this to it lol 

Playing catch up

So I know I said I was going to try to do at least 2 posts a week, but I've been slacking:(  So I'm going to attempt to catch up!  Kaylynn finished her 3 days and then spent Thursday and Friday(2nd and 3rd) home with me and Lydia.  This past weekend was Paul Bunyan Days which is always quite the shindig.  Friday we spent the day at home cleaning and Tim chopped up some firewood.  Saturday Lydia and I went to a bridal shower for a good family friend, while Kaylynn and daddy stayed at home and watched incredibles:)  Tim and I went out that night and the girls spent the night with nana and poppa.  Lena, Shaun, Connor, and Brea came down for the weekend so Kaylynn had a blast playing with Breanna:)   Tim and I enjoyed getting out of the house and socializing with people  who are actually our age.   Tim ended up going home after awhile and I stayed out and went to the car club dance.   Surprisingly I woke up feeling pretty good the next day considering how much “fun” I had the night before :)  Sunday Tim and I slept in and then went up to my parents.  We ended up going to lunch at my grandparents house which was nice since I don't feel I get out there and see them enough, I am so horrible about that type of stuff.  Sunday night is always the big fireworks show, so we went down a little bit earlier and let Kaylynn ride a couple rides.  

Brea & Kbear

We were a little unsure of how the girls would do with the fireworks, but Lydia slept the entire time and Kaylynn wasn't too fond of them but nana held her under her blanket and she was just fine.  She kept asking if they were over and as soon as nana said “yep the fireworks are over” her head popped right up happy as can be ha-ha.  Here are a few pictures of the fireworks:

I was tired so I went home with the girls afterwards while Tim went out to the OX for a couple hours.  Monday we got up early, grabbed some doughnuts and coffee and watched the parade. 

Kaylynn was SO into the candy.  She wanted nothing to do with anyone in the parade unless they threw candy.  We asked her how much candy she had and she responded “ not enough” ha-ha.  We headed back down to the carnival afterwards since that is by far the best day to ride rides…no lines!  Kaylynn rode a few rides.  She wanted to ride the Octopus really bad so we said ok and Tim got on the ride with her.  She thought it was pretty cool until it started going fast and spinning lots, then her mind change quick, but she stuck it out and finished the ride.  I wonder if she will want to ride it again next year? lol  We ate pizza for lunch, then came home and just relaxed…the weekend tired us all out!

School for me started Tuesday as well as Kaylynn’s actual preschool.  We both had a great first day although I think Kaylynn had way more fun at her school then I did ;)  Today was my last day for the week and I am so happy I don't have to drive to Spokane until Monday!  I am already so sick of driving!!  Tonight we went and watched auntie Marlee play some volleyball.  It was their 1st home game of the season and they of course won:)  Lydia loved watching all the action and she even stayed awake the whole time…until the game was over, then she was out,and Kaylynn loved to clap and cheer them all on

Now were home, kids in bed, Tim on the Xbox, and I am enjoying some quiet time to myself.   Whew…I think I got this all caught up now!!! Hopefully I stay more on top of this.  OK a couple more pics from today to end this post.  Goodnight!!
