A Rockin' Fun Day...

Today has been full of celebrations.

Kyla is 5 months old today!

Kyla continues to be such a happy and content baby. Lights up a room with her wide open mouth smile. She has begun to giggle (so far only at her brothers, even though mom and dad try real hard). She loves playing with toys. Is trying to sit up on her own. Is liking rice cereal...better. Still sleeps...horrible. She is 14.5 lbs and 26 inches long. Not a big fan of being licked by the dog. Has only worn the same outfit...twice. Loves to stand (with assistance). Loves people. Loves music. My heart bursts with love everytime I look at her...

Brayden started Preschool today....and loved it! He's been waiting to go to school for months and today finally arrived. Today was a short day so the parents hung out upstairs during the class. Right before I went to the room, I wanted to catch one more glance of my baby starting his new adventure of learning. Yep...the class was gathered around the teacher listening to her read a book while I found Brayden off to the side in his own little world playing with his fingers. Classic! Then tonight as I was asking him all sorts of questions about school I ask..."So Brayden, did you read any books at school?" He looked up at me and said..."Um, No. They don't have books at school." Sounds about right:) Later he did remember they read a book around colors...whew, close call!

So to celebrate our awesome day...and the fact that we paid off our van today (yep, we offically own our rockin', running out of seats - becoming one large trash can - grocery getter - tan turd mini-van. What will you do with the extra cash a month you ask? Well, to start, fix everything that is going wrong with it...ahhh, the smell of car ownership is expensive)...anyhoo, we went down and had lunch with Daddy. He of course wanted to take a few pictures of the kids in the airplane. Yep, the airplane that if two rowdy boys broke anything would take us until we retired to pay back, airplane. Not stressful at all!

First Officer, Kyla, at your service.

My beautiful, precious, incredible family!

I am blessed!

(I think Kyla is praying..."Dear Lord, please don't let my brothers break anything, I really want to go to college some day:)"
