I love my little family!

Kailey's new school

Kailey will be going to a new school this year. Our boundaries got changed this year so they moved us to Mountain Shadows Elementary. I'm not really excited about the changed, but what do you do? I tried keeping her at her current school with no luck... I'm sure there were lots of parents fighting the change so I was just another one. Anyways, they had a Back to School Night tonight that I took Kailey to. I really like her teacher. She seems very organized and structured which I love. I struggled with Kailey's teacher this last year... that's another story. This year her teacher is Mrs Anderson, she has been teaching for 17 years and seems to be really good. It should be a great year!

Today I took the kids to the park to play and get out of the house for a while. I was kind of wondering how Kayden would be on the swing and wondered if he would like it or not. He LOVED it!!! He was laughing the whole time he was in it, it was really cute! Kailey kept asking if Kayden could go down the slide or do something else... basically anything besides the swing but he didn't want to get out. Next time we go, we'll wait until later in the day. It was HOT!!!
Kayden was so relaxed on the swing, he even sat and drank all of his juice

Before we left Kailey wanted to take Kayden on the slide. He absolutely hated it! He screamed like a little girl. It wasn't even a big slide, but he hated every minute of it.

Speaking of Memories...

So I keep getting asked about what Kailey looked like when she was a baby since I didn't do the whole blogging thing that long ago. Back then the big thing was scrapbooking, which I still try to keep up on. Here is a little about Miss Kailey Bug. She was born on November 29, 2000. She weighed 7lbs 8oz and was 21 inches long. She was born at 1:43pm at Cottonwood Hospital.

I also get asked if Kayden and Kailey looked alike when they were babies... I don't think so. Kayden looks identical to his dad and I think that sometimes he looks a little like Brady (Bruce's oldest son), that would make sense because Brady looks alot like Bruce too :)

Kailey had a ton of dark hair when she was born and the tips were blonde, it was the cutest thing ever! The sad thing is that we could never get pictures to really show the blonde tips so we are left to go by memory only. I remember all of the nurses coming in to see her hair and saying that she is the only baby in the nursery that has been to the salon to have to hair done. She was a very happy baby and was alot of fun. Here are some pictures... the easiest way was to just scan some of her scrapbook pages.

She loved playing dress up, a true girl! She was 2 years old here

Memory Lane!

I got this from Trish's blog...thought it would be fun

MEMORY LANE- This will be fun! This is just too fun to pass up. Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! I guess good or bad, but be nice!!!!!!!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

The New Toy!!!

I was wondering how long Bruce could hold out on all of the peer pressure of his friends, well today he finally caved! One of my friends from work decided to sell his Harley and Yes Bruce was very interested. (Thanks Jesse!) This is the newest addition to our little family :) I think it's fun to ride, and Bruce thinks it's awesome to drive! We are both LOVING it! All of our friends tell me to get used to not seeing Bruce now, because he will now be out riding everyday.... that's probably pretty true!
Bruce will have to inform me of more of the details, what I know is it's a Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe... and it's black :) That's my girl version of it.

Happy 4th of July 2008!!!

This year we spent the 4th of July at home. We invited over some friends, Mike and Mona. We BBQ'd some great food and had fireworks. Kailey loved the fireworks, but Kayden didn't last that long... he was in bed by 8:30 as usual :)

2 cute kids :)

Not sure what they are doing here, but thought it was kind of funny
