Movie and Popcorn

While we had the kids over... They wanted to watch a movie in Kelli's room and of coarse have popcorn!! They each had to have their own bowl and of coarse made a mess on the floor but thats ok.. thats what a vacuum is for, right?! Atleast they enjoyed themselves and were somewhat quiet for a little while!

Busy Day!

Today, my sister in law Shaundee was going in to have her baby, so I went and picked up Lyza at her home at about 7:00 am. She came over and we had a yummy breakfast of French toast and her cousins came over as well... Sami, Brooklyn, Thomas, and Nate. It was so fun to havce all the kids over (a little crazy) but what kind of a day is it if its not crazy?! The kids all got along so well and it was an exciting day followed by muliple crazy days of juggeling kids around but it was so worth it. I love em all to death! Here we are getting ready to eat.. gotta love Kelli's bed head hair.

Kelli's First Hair Cut!

I was definatly a little nervous about Kelli going and getting a hair cut. Her hair was so long and it definatly needed a trim to help thicken it up a bit... She isn't one for sitting still for too long so help with that... we of coarse went to Parsons Bakery and she got to pick out her favorite cookie! It helped and she just sat there and let Steph cut her hair.... she doesn't sit still for too long for me to do her hair in the morning so this was a step up! Once again, she has a messy face and is eating a cookie but she looks so cute!

Where's Kelli?

Well, the other day I couldn't find Kelli anywhere.... not in her room.. not in my room... no where! I was calling her name and I could hear her laughing. I peeked under my bed and found her laying perfectly still with a huge grin on her face! She thought it was just so funny...

My lil' guitar hero

Kelli loves to do everything that Danny and I are doing... especially when it comes to video games. She now yells at the top of her lungs, "my turn daddy, my turn!!" She'll say it over and over again, until finally we give in cause we can't take it anymore. (I know that isn't completely the right way to raise a child but there are some things I'm willing to fight about and somethings that I just have to let go..) She's terrible at it but its really fun to watch her so focused on strumming. Danny trys to play the finger part while she strums but she reminds us that, "she's a big girl" and "she can do it herself".... She doesn't make it too far into the song but she is glowing when her turn is over. She's real good about telling other people to take turns, but we are still working on her being able to give it up so others can have a turn.

Side note: I know what you're thinkin.... Brittany wasn't jokin' when she said in 99% of her pictures Kelli has a messy face!

Poor Kitty

Kelli is totally obsessed with the kittens... but of coarse what 'almost' 2 year old wouldn't?! But I dont think this is what the kittens had in store with coming to a "so called better home". Kelli pushes them and takes them on little walks around our place all the time. Duke is usually pretty good about it, but when he decides to jump out, Kelli has an emotional breakdown and doesn't understand why the kittens wont stay in the stroller. Other than the fact that she runs into doors and walls on a regular basis, and it scares them to death, I don't know why they dont like it either!!? Atleast she's working on caring for others, which I'm sure will come in 'handy' when the next little one comes.. I know she'll be my BIGGEST helper!

ps: I really am a good mom, and I do get my daughter ready. She just loves her hair to be down and flowing.. and pay no mind to the fact that in 1/2 of the pictures on my blog she has a very messy face. 99% of the time, I'm not gonna lie, its cookie! But I'm happy to say that wasn't the case in this picture. She had eaten the cake batter off the beater! (cause that is the best part of baking a cake) I'm teaching her all the ropes...I'm sure most of you are thinkin'... raw eggs! good mom? I eat raw batters all the time since I was little and I turned out...... somewhat ok. No one is perfect right?!

Day at the Park

We try to go to the park every Saturday and Danny found this park near our place that had this huge slide.... It was definatly Kelli's Everest but she did it! She does a lot better on slides that aren't completly enclosed.... Like when my sister had to climb up to the top of a play port to get Kelli down cause she was screaming cause she wouldn't go down the slide. Good times. Here are a few pictures of our little adventure!
