Kasen is 3 and Kinley went camping!

Kasen had a great birthday with all of his friends! Thanks to everybody who made the day special. He had a "motorcross" themed party at our pool. He loves motorcycle's these days, so we attempted a motorcross cake. Not one of our best but we had fun getting creative. The kids had fun swimming and running around together.

Presents!

We went to John Martin lake this weekend with the Cranes and had a great time. It was Kinley's first time camping and she did awesome! She slept on her changing table pad right next to me and didn't make a peep all night long. She LOVES to be outside so it was great for all! The kids had a great time playing in the dirt, swimming in the lake and tubing (for hours, thanks Rob for the marathon tube rides!). We had a great time with great friends!!

What do you think?

So I still think my girls look alike, outside of their eyes, but many say she looks just like Kasen. What do you think. They are all about 4 months old here... (It is an advantage that Kaya and Kinley have the same outfits!) I love dressing Kinley in the same outfits, but I don't get to very often since they were born in very different seasons!!

Bear Lakin'

We just got back from spending 10 days at Bear Lake, enjoying the sun, family, boating, water skiing and trying our hat at wake boarding. It made us feel young to think we are trying this new sport at the ripe ages of 33 and 36, three kids under 4 and a three month old, whatever to make us feel good right!? My cousin Brett got married while we were there, the wedding was beautiful and super fun. We met my dad's new girlfriend Kathy, she is great! Here are few pics of the trip (we decided that going out of town with children is a "trip", and someday we will get a "vacation" which would be with no kids).It is a lot of work, and driving 11 hours isn't so much as fun anymore, but the memories we made were priceless and all in all I would do it again in a heart beat, in fact I am sure we will next year :)

Kaya and Daddy tubing, she kept giving a thumbs up to go faster


Dev tubing with all the kids


I lost my sunglasses in the lake :(, but Kaya had an extra pair :)

Kinley sitting in her bumbo


He is truly asleep, he slept like this a lot. For some reason it was his favorite spot, he woke up everytime we tried to move him.


Kinley in her spot, she spent a lot of time there.


Boating, don't you love Dev's sunburn!

1st day on the lake

We finally got our boat on the water, with all the rain, storms, wind it has been hard to find a day. We decided to get out of town after Dev got off work, it is an hour drive to the nearest lake. The boat trailor got a flat tire on the way down so that took time to fix, by the time we got the boat on the water a storm came in, but we were deterimined! We thought aobut skiing and realized we left the flag and the tow rope at home. The kids loved loved loved playing on the swim platform and splashing in the water. Kinley did really well for her first time boating and didn't seem to mind her life jacket. Ton Ton was there to help out which was really nice! We floated for a bit, ate dinner and then the rain started so we put the boat back on the trailer. We were out for a whole hour at the most. While I was putting life jackets away I found the flag and the tow rope under the seat that Kinley was laying on, oh well! Hopefully next time will be a nice sunny day and we will get to ski :).

Random Fun, and Kinley is 10 weeks!

I can't believe that Kinley is already ten weeks old, where has the time gone? She is such a joy and has been a really easy baby. She is now 11lbs 8oz, and 24 inches long. She sleeps through the night for the most part (we still have a 4:30 awakening every once in a while). She laughs, and says "AAAGOOO". Her brother and sister love her so much. Kaya says she is a big baby now, it is hard for her to hold her now that she is heavier and wiggly, but she still wants to all the time. Kasen continues to give lots of hugs and kisses and has to know where "little sissy, or Tin-ee" is at all times. I have adjusted much better to three then I thought, I think going from 1-2 was much harder. Kinley just goes with us wherever we go, thank goodness for the bucket seat! I am sure life will change when we can't just haul her around whenever we want, but for now we are loving this phase of life!!
