Cornbellys

In October we took the girls to Cornbellys and it was a lot of fun. The weather was perfect and it wasn't busy at all. The girls loved all the slides and Princess part.
Miss Oaklee. She looks so little.

We love cornbellys! Its always a fun time:)

Vegas GETAWAY!

Here we are headed out to VEGAS, just the 2 of us. Back in October we decided that we needed a little time away. We left the kiddos with Grandma and left for a few days.
Arriving at the Luxor...about midnight.

Shopping on the strip

Lounging at the pool

Heading out to dinner and a few shows....SO FUN!

Arriving in Cali, the beach was MUCH colder than we thought it would be!

Lunch on the pier

My love

Then a stop at Disneyland!

OHHH so excited!

Our last night on vaca at Disneyland. It was SO NICE to get away with my best friend. Things get pretty crazy around our house and taking some time for just the 2 of us is not always easy. But I am so glad we did!!

Grandpa's funeral

Grandpa's beautiful casket.

The day of my Grandpa's funeral was a bitter sweet day for me. I LOVE my Grandpa. He was a wonderful man! I will miss him very much. His funeral actually landed on Oaklee's 1st birthday. So it was a day of celebrating Life all around. My Grandpa struggled there at the end of his life, but i got a few last moments with him that i will cherish forever. He was still able to open his eyes and answer you when i said goodbye. We had a sweet conversation and i am so grateful for that.

The day of the burial was Saturday up in Wyoming. It was about a 2 hour drive and i took the girls and my sister. It rained, poured the whole way there. As soon as we got maybe 15 minutes out it opened up to blue skies over Lyman. Grandpa was definitely helping us out! It was a beautiful ceremony. I will never forget it.

Dance X 2!

Tiny Dancer Kennedy

Payton ready for Jazz

WE officially have begun dance around here! For both girlies this year...that's right our tiny tot Kennedy is in the Mommy & Me dance class. I can't believe she is already old enough to take this class. She LOVES it. She listens so well, which i was worried about, and follows whatever her teacher says to do.

Payton is taking Tap and Jazz this year without Ballet. She seems to really enjoy both so far.

we have a KINDERGARTENER

Payton officially started Kindergarten on Sept. 7th. What a grown up 5 year old we have. She absolutely LOVES school. Her teacher is Mrs. Rizer and she is great. It is so nice to be back in routine and structure...this girl thrives on it!

Hello Kitty all around

Man she is so darn pretty!!

Ready to head in for her 1st day!

Found her seat and a treat!

making her shoebox library

After School treat of her choice.... ice cream!

Oaklee's 1st cone all to herself:)

cheesy buggy!

SOOO Big!

Little miss KENNEDY is a BIG GIRL now!

She gets to wear "unnerwears" as she calls them. She went and picked out some Rapunzel unders and we decided to give it a go. The first week was REALLY hard. I didn't think she was even understanding what we were doing AT ALL! But the last week has been GREAT. She has been telling us she has to go and we haven't had an accident is almost a week! Now by telling us she says " I pooping!!" so I'm sure people love to hear that, but it translates to "run take me to the bathroom!"

Either way we got here and now we officially have only 1 in diapers! What will we do with all the extra money you ask.... GO TO DISNEYLAND of course:)!!

LOVE YOU KENNEDY!!
