Kylie is 8 !

Kylie is 8, I cannot believe she is 8.  Our sweet 1st born Granddaughter turned 8.  She asked me for an American Girl doll, because Leah has one and they want to play dolls together.  So we got her an American Girl doll for her birthday and she was very excited about it.  Where have those 8 years gone.  I can't believe my girls will be 8 this year.  Kylie will be in 2nd grade this year at Fox.  She is a caring, thoughtful, bright, beautiful 8 year old.  I love her soooooo much.

Vacation to New Orleans, June 2011

1st day - After driving about 30 minutes Charlie announces to Mom and Dad, I see New Orleans, he was only about 7 hours and 30 minutes early.

1st Rest stop - Charlie calls his private a "trunk", like on a elephant. Charlie went to the potty and then told his dad, I am going to watch you daddy, as Brian is peeing in the urinal. Charlie looks up and says, Daddy why is your trunk so big? Brian laughs and then the urinal flushes and Charlie is upset that he didn't get to flush it, it was an automatic flusher, Brian tells Charlie that there is a monkey in the wall behind the toilet and always flushes it when you are done so now we hear all the time the monkey flushes the toilet. Too funny.

In New Orleans we had connecting rooms with Brian and Mary and the kids, since each room has 2 double beds, I volunteered to have one of the three sleep with me and they would take turns. Everything was good the first night. The 2nd night, Bob's snoring was so loud I couldn't sleep and there was nowhere for me to go, so in desperation I took 3 pillows and some beach towels and slept in the bathroom, finally some peace and quiet.

Dylan's 5th Birthday

Our Dylan boy has turned 5 on November 30th.  Dylan is the best snuggler, he still needs to be held and cuddled, which makes me extremely happy.  He has started calling me his Gammaw.  He is all boy.  He never stops and always wants to be the boss.  He and Sissy are best friends, though Charlie is starting to become a third partner.  Dylan went to the Whittle Train station for his party, he loved it.  Then at his house later that day there was another party for his cousins, his mom and dad got him a pinata for that one.  The kids loved it.  Dylan is precious.  His cuteness and personality will get him far in life. 

The week before his birthday, he was running into our bedroom without the light on and we heard a scream, Dylan came out holding his eye.  He ran into the corner of our dresser and had a good shiner for his birthday.

Funnies from the angels

Kylie was talking to me about where the money that she and Leah made during their kool aid stand at the garage sale should go, I had said maybe the red cross or American Cancer Society and then Kylie says well I think it should go to Japan because they had a salami! I couldn't help myself, I let out a belly laugh. Too precious.

I was taking Sissy to the dentist and Charlie also went with us, I took some fruit snacks along for Charlie to eat when we got to the dentist. Charlie was holding the fruit snack in his seat as we are driving to the dentist. As soon as I was driving along, Charlie announces to me to not to look at him, immediately I am trying to figure out why? He sits right behind me so I can't see him very well but I am hearing paper rattling. When I pull into the dentist Charlie announces the fruit snacks are all gone. I said to him, I told you not to eat the fruit snacks until you got to the dentist. Charlie just says "Oh". Too cute.

5-19-2011 Charlie went to pee on the potty when all of sudden a poop came out, he was so excited we had to take a picture. He was very proud.

Leah loses first tooth

Leah excitedly runs over to me on my birthday and smiled so big I thought her lips would split and proudly announced her first loss. She was so excited she lost her first tooth on March 21st, 2011. This was a big deal since Kylie already had lost so many teeth. My girls are getting so big, it is time for their teeth to be gone because their baby teeth are starting to look to small for their mouth but the second teeth are still looking too big for their mouths, we are starting to go thru that awkward stage. But they are still staying beautiful thru that stage, in and out. Love you bunches.

Brian's Birthday Gift to Kylie and Leah

Brian and Mary came over on March 5th, Saturday to celebrate their birthdays. We were watching Kylie and Dylan that night and went to 4:30pm mass and then ordered food for dinner. Mary brought a birthday cake for Brian. We were singing to Brian when I went to get a picture, he immediately grabbed Kylie and Leah's heads and pushed their faces in his cake. They had icing all over their faces. We all had a good laugh about it. You never know what to expect from Brian but the girls loved it. I love that boy. He is still my baby boy.

Funnies from the boys

The other day Brian and Mary took all the kids to see a movie, lst time for Charlie, in the middle of the movie, Charlie screams out "Hellllllooooooo Graham Cracker!", they don't know why he did it, it wasn't in the movie but ever since, he says it all the time. I hollered out the other day, Hellloooo Seabiscuit and I was immediately told that was not the word. He is funny.

Last week PawPaw was helping Dylan brush his teeth and asked Dylan about school and what was he learning? Dylan said he was learning about "Jesus" and that Jesus loves us. PawPaw says that is right, Jesus does love us. Dylan proceeded to tell PawPaw, that Jesus died on the cross and that his teacher Mrs. Trah was there. Bob almost spit out his toothpaste in Dylan's face he was laughing so hard. Out of the mouths of babes.
