Dancing with the Star...Andie

One of Andie's favorite shows is Dancing With The Stars. She has a new favorite dance from this week's episode. We watch it a dozen times a day with the same ending response ''AGAIN!"" ENJOY!! She's sooo darn cute!

Kacie's 1yr check up

Kacie went for her 1 yr check up. She is as healthy as can be. She has slowed down on the growth spurts and is evening out. She's now 21lbs 11oz and 31 in long. That puts her in the 56% for weight and 87% for height. She's tall and really skinny!! Here's a picture of her before bath time with all of her band aids from her shots :( poor little thing. Andie also got her flu shot while we were at the doctor and she was a trooper, no tears!! She's so brave!

Andie Reading...

...more like memorization, but hey, its a start!!

Halloween 2008

We had a fun Halloween this year. We spent Halloween night at ''Go Wacky Night'' through our church. It was held at a big sports complex in Lakeville. They had games and blow up bouncers and slides. It was fun to see all of the little kids running around all dressed up. Andie spent most of the time bouncing on the huge inflatable Twister board while Kacie ran around the whole place. She was so funny because while she was meandering she'd go up to random men and want them to pick her up! What a goof! She knew that they weren't Mike :) She befriended one man who was happy to play with her as he has 4 boys, all of his sons had fun playing with her too. This was cute now, but won't be acceptable behavior in 15 years!! As you can see by the pictures Kacie was not very cooperative with picture taking, she wouldn't keep her hat on or hold still for a cute shot. Andie was a trooper and was easily bribed with candy. On Saturday Mike and I went to a costume party. It was nice to get out of the house and spend time with adults for a change.

''Nick or Treat''

We took the girls to ''Nick or Treat'' at MOA over the weekend. We got them dressed up in there Halloween costumes and brought them on rides and went trick or treating around the park. We met up with the Shull family (each their kids are just a couple months older than our girls) and Nixon and Andie had so much fun going on rides together. Looking back at my pictures I realized I didn't take any of Kacie. I guess all of you will have to wait until next week to see what she is.

Kacie's 1st Birthday

Kacie's birthday was filled with family and friends and when I say filled I mean FILLED with people, 15 adults and 10 kids all packed into our little house. It's so wonderful to know that my family and my children are loved and supported by so many amazing people. I just wish we had a bigger house so I could have invited even more family and friends! Kacie made out like a rock star and received lots of wonderful presents. Thank you to everyone who came. A shout out to Angel (my sister in law) who came out with her 4 kids plus a friend all by herself from an hour away, you are an inspiration, truly! It was so nice to see you even if it was only for a little while. To everyone who couldn't make it, we missed you but know you would have been here if you could. We are absolutely blessed and couldn't ask for anything more...besides a bigger house for parties! :)

Apple Orchard

While Mike's parents and sister were here we took the girls to Emma Crumbies Apple Orchard. It was VERY cold outside that day, BRR! We had fun getting apples and picking out pumpkins.
