Despite the start we had another great Halloween! I normally have a theme to all of our costumes. However, I decided to let everyone choose their own.
I was excited to have the whole family dress up this year! In my 8 years of blissful marriage I have never got Brett to dress up! He surprised me this year and agreed to, almost volunteered to, dress up! I asked him why the change this year. He told me it was because I did not try to dress him up as something stupid! I think that this is really his secret desire, fantasy if we may (just one of many! ha ha).
Kaysia was a salsa dancer, I was her latin lover (it was all I had, just go with it!), Keelie was a flower child, and Kage wanted to be the Wild Child! If you have never gone to the Ute Stampede you may not know who he is. So he is the rodeo bullfighter (AKA Clown) that rides a motorcylce! If you know Kage it fits him!
Brett was a Rodeo Clown. And our Kylan was the cutest chick around!

So today Keelie was playing around with this clown wig and put it on Kylan! We thought that it provided a good Laugh! Not cute but a good laugh! I promise underneath all that hair is the cutest baby ever!

Just A Little!!

Well just a little has changed since my last post. Most notably, the fact that I am no longer pregnant! Our beautiful baby girl arrived on July 12th. We could not have ask for a better baby! She gave us a scare at first and had to be put on a breathing monitor. She no longer needs it and is doing great! For all of you that have anxiously been awaiting the announcement of the name ( who am I kidding, you gave up on me 5 months ago when I had no new posts.) it is Kylan Kate! Brett wanted to have a child named Ky and her middle name came after my favorite roommate from college! The other kids have been great with her! Kage has really supprised me, so tender with her and can not give her enough kisses.

The start of a new school year has been a hard one for me. It means that I started a new job at the middle school. It has been great so far. However, the kids are SOOOOO different then those at the high school! I have never been hugged so much!

Kaysia started 1st grade and is loving it! She doesn't have any girls in her class that she knows but I am confident that she will make friends fast!

Keelie started kindergarten. She isn't a huge fan of school. She would much rather be home with her new puppy. However, she loves the kids and has a fantastic teacher Mrs. Hare.

( Yes, Brett got them a new puppy. Have I mentioned that I HATE puppies!!!)

Kage started at a new place for daycare. After a few miniutes of crying he decided that he loves it. The lady tends he and Ky from her home and it great!

The hardest part is leaving Ky. I know that she is being taken good care of but I hope she is being loves like the others have when they went.

Well that will have to be all for now! Maybe I will post again soon!

Not 1, Not 2, Not 3, But 4!!!!!

So it has been awhile since my last post. A little over 4 months to be exact! My computer has been broken and we have been too cheap and busy to get a new one. ( Cheap is probly the biggest reason.)

I have decided that now that I am back in the game my first blog will be about #4. No I am not refering to Charles Barkley's number once he played for the Rockets. Not the number of months I have been out of the blog circuit or the number of pounds I have gained in the last day!

This will be about the exciting new addition to our family, #4! Yes, I am expecting another BABY GIRL in July. The kids are soooo excited to tell everyone about their new sister. KeKe asks everyday when the baby is going to be here. It makes me rather glad that I waited until I was 5 months along to tell them. (This could have been a really long pregnacy otherwise! It has already been a long 2 weeks!)

So since we went with the letter K for all three of our last names, I feel the need that this one should also start with the letter K. However, I am having a hard time coming up with a unique name. You know the kind that you don't know anyone with that name! Can I name to you the student names I will now Never name a child!!! I quess I am sending out the call for some help! If you know any please send them my way!

For now we are sooo excited! And enjoying the journey to #4! :)

Not a Halloween Baby!

So two years ago I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of a BOY!!! However, I went in for a doctors visit after my due date! Yes AFTER! It was October 30th and the doctor asked if I was ready to have a baby, today! You know at that point what lady would say NO! Well I did! I was not going to have a Halloween baby! He then asked when. I decided that November 1st would be great! You know when you hear November 1st you don't think Halloween baby right?

So here we are two years later saying

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAGE!

It has definitely been a rough two years. ( Boys are so different then girls!) But we have enjoyed him very much! He survived his first year, I didn't think that would happen! And he has not stopped talking since we took the bink! Here is to hoping we make it through the next few years!

Kage enjoyed his party and loved all his tractors! He even suckered Koleton into taking him and his lady for a ride!

Halloween

This was once what I would consider a pointless holiday! However, throw a few kids into the mix and it has a whole new meaning for me! It also provides me an opportunity to indulge in one of my secretly favorite quirks! (I love to dress up! All that know me may not have known that, but it is true!) We all decided to dress up as a superhero! We had such a fun time!

Kaysia was WONDER WOMAN!

Kage as Batman! (We had issues with him! He would not wear the full costume and would not pose for the camera!)

Keelie as SUPER GIRL!

We were ever so blessed this Halloween to have our friends, the Knights, come trick-or-treating with us! This was so fun! Something that we had not done before! Thanks Knight family!

It Rained, It poored, but nobody snored! (Except maybe you mom!)

All caution and common sense went out the window yesterday!

All summer long I have been complaining to Brett about the BIG pot holes in my drive way! (Yes for some of you city folk, they still make dirt roads and one of them leads to my house!) Needlless to say it now aproaching the wet season and I still have pot holes! It rained all day here on Saturday. Rain + pot holes = Big water puddles. Of course ,this is not the first time this has happened. I normally yell at the kids not to go near them. However, yesterday was different. I decided that I needed to teach the kids how to have some good ol' dirty fun!

I had the kids put on old cloths and snow boots and headed outside. The pictures tell the rest of the story!

Kage kept yelling "AWESOME"!

You know I think he was right, it was AWESOME!! Time well spent!

Canada Anyone?!!

So I returned home from a fabulous trip to Canada a week ago. I have been trying to figure out how I could chronicle my adventures on my blog all week. Then to my surprise I realized that I would not need to. My sister had already done it for me! She is a fantastic writer and VERY funny. After many attempt to cut and paste it to my blog I have given up. Instead please just go to my friends and family and click on CHRISTIN! You will be able to read about all our wonderful memories:)!! I hope you all laugh as much as I did reading it!
