Last month McKartny turned 3! Kylan had school that day so we just hung out together & played with toys until everyone got home that night & we had her favorite: chicken & green beans then had a few friends over for "Tangled" cake & ice cream! I know she had a great day because she kept telling me so! We love our little monkey, she is such a cuddle bug & loves to give hugs & kisses, which helps her get away with alot!
Showing me she's 3
I hear it alot but I truly can't believe Kylan is in Kindergarten! I was a bit nervous for her because she had only been to preschool for a couples hours a few days a week & kindergarten here is all day everyday, so I thought she'd be a little exhausted after day 1 but she ran off the bus yelling "I LOVE SCHOOL!" That made my day knowing she loved it so much.
The night before she couldn't go to sleep she was so excited. She said it was like Christmas!
She was also very excited to ride the bus, I don't remember having that excitement, I remember severly disliking the bus but she said "It's so fun, it goes really fast!" It also helps that she's only on the bus with kids her age so that eases my fears a little.
Well we moved to Lima in June & have been enjoying the beautiful weather & great neighbors ever since. Kurt stays pretty busy so the girls & I have had to be creative to help pass the time.
Our attempt at a pic with the 3 of us, not so successful!
Kylan & McKartny now share a bedroom & at first we thought we were gonna go crazy because they would not go to sleep at night, they would just stay up talking, laughing, even fighting sometimes but now they are loving it & its really cute to sit at the door sometimes & listen to their little conversations.
A couple of weeks ago Kylan said her foot hurt & stopped walking on it completely, luckily we know a podiatrist :) but she wouldn't let Kurt touch it so we took her to one of his attendings & they never could pinpoint exactly what her deal was but this little cast made it feel all better!
Kurt has been building me all sorts of tables & frames for the new house & Kylan wanted to join in on the fun so they made a cute little wagon for her horses to pull. She put the pencil in her ear & tape measure on her belt all by herself! She wants to be just like Dad, she is even asking for a pink bow for Christmas (& not the kind that goes in her hair :))
Since we were moving the day before Father's Day it kind of got looked over sad to say but we made up for in the next Sunday & the girls made Kurt funfetti cupcakes (his favorite) & homemade cards & we had a big dinner. We love Kurt & are amazed at all the hard work he puts in to provide for his family.
While we were in Boise at Bill's Kurt worked on his antelope that he shot 2 years ago in Idaho. After alot of tedious work & some taxidermy in the hotel room it is being hung in our basement as we speak!
We had the opportunity to go to Idaho to visit for 3 weeks after Kurt graduated so a plethora of pics is to follow! Above is the end of our trip, we wore 'em out good!
Cousins: Kensey, Briley, Presley, McKartny, & Kylan at my sister Jesse's house
My sister Liza had a baby boy, Max, so here he is surrounded by 5 of his girl cousins. This must be what my younger brother J.W. felt like(+1) :)
Riding horses at Jesse & Brians; Kylan had been talking about riding a horse weeks before we left for our trip so this made the trip worth it for her!
3 of my sisters, Jesse, Liza, & Emma & I decided to run our 1st 5K together in Rexburg. We all surprised ourselves & did pretty decent, I think we're all now looking for the next 1 to do!
More cousins: Logan, Presley, Kylan, McKartny, Jett, & Dagan at Grandpa & Grandma Kinghorns
With their silly aunts Brenda & Kristy
Cousins with Grandma & Grandpa Kinghorn
We had a surprise birthday party for Grandpa Dave, it was fun to see him with all his siblings, Kristy had a Viagra cake made for him, pretty clever!
Grandpa Dave had to win McKartny's hugs with "Moneys" & candy but it worked!
We had to go to the much talked about Chuck E Cheese for lunch 1 day, Kylan talks about the "Horse Ride" nonstop
My 1st motorcycle ride, as well as the girls on Bill's sweet bike
Kylan made herself right at home
Chillin' by the fire with Kurt's brother Bill & his wife Kellie
McKartny became pretty good buds with Kellie while we were there
Good times, 'til next trip!
We will definitely miss these friends, they have been great neighbors & the girls spent countless days running around outside getting into trouble with them
Kylan with Mrs. Gorman, she was absolutely an amazing teacher & Kylan always talked about her & how much she loved her
