New toy and Under the weather

Kyndal got some money for her birthday and it burns a hole in her pocket, so we had to go to the store for her to pick out something.  She had seen some flying fairy on TV that she wanted and some texting toys for her and Abby.  Once she got the fairy charged up, it was a huge hit!

Watching the action...

A couple of days this week Anna Claire has been under the weather with cold like symptoms.  Seems like it's going around here a lot.  She was pretty pitiful one night asking to go to bed before 7 pm after a 2 hour nap late that afternoon.

Wordless Wednesday

We had to break out the long sleeves and pants.

Wii Dancing (Kyndal asked her Daddy when he got home from work to play Wii Dance with her and of course he did)  What a sweet Daddy!

Happy Wednesday!!!

We have company arriving at 11:30 tonight that we are sooooooo excited about:):):)

The Birthday Bash

The girls wanted to have another spend the night party for their birthdays.  So Friday night, they had 4 friends come over.  One couldn't make it, and another got sick.  The girls had a really great time.  They made lots of noise and lots of memories.

Time for pizza

Time for presents

O this was so funny:  They got candy as part of one of their gifts and Anna Claire very quickly said "I can share with you".  Meaning she wants them to share with her.  That kid loves some sweets!

Cupcake and ice cream time

Friday Photos

While I was mopping the kitchen the other day, I said Anna Claire don't come in here, so she made herself a spot right on the edge of the kitchen floor:)  Silly kid!

Abby and Kyndal's first day of co-op this year!

Before church last Sunday!

Where we had lunch Sunday, they gave the girls some stringy things to play with, and they made glasses with them.  Ha:)

 This was their second day of gymnastics/dance class, because I forgot to take their picture at the first class.  They are loving it:)

Friends from Alabama

When we left AL last year, some very special friends told us they were going to come visit us next year.  Annndddd, they did:)  The William's and Smoot's arrived here last Thursday late afternoon and went back home yesterday morning.  We had an absolutely wonderful time with them.  We are very blessed to have such special people in our life to come so far to come see us.  We are very grateful.  We did lots of eating:)  We went to a couple of places Craig and I had never gone to.  We went for a drive down the East Coast one day.  It was raining though.  We went to Boston one day and drove around looking at different sights and enjoyed some good lunch too.  Thank ya'll so much for making a Big trip to come visit us.  Wonderful memories were made for sure:)
