Georgia Trip

We got to take another fun family trip to Georgia to visit Kyle's family. We definitely kept ourselves busy with 3 football games, a trip to Kentucky and a trip to Florida. Grandma and Grandpa K were excited to see their girls and we were excited for Kyle's siblings to finally meet Ellouise. First game at Grandpa K's school.
Headed to Kentucky to see uncle Klay's team play. Uncle Klay and aunt Angie got the girls cute outfits to wear for the game.



We then headed down to the Florida coast. It was so nice and fun, I just love the beach anywhere anytime. Evelyn was having fun burying dad in the sand.
Ellouise was sure enjoying herself as well.


Kyle introduced us to Whataburger. I certainly enjoyed the chocolate shake.
I think Evelyn's favorite part of the trip was when Grandma and Grandpa took us to the county fair. She was having so much fun on the rides. It was so cute to see her so happy and having such a great time.






Ellouise having a good time with Grandpa.
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa K for a fun trip!
Evelyn's been working on a behavior star chart and she has been doing really well, but she was in her room by herself and thought it would be fun to decorate herself with the stars.
Ellouise taking it all in.
This girl loves to pose whenever there's a camera around. Such a character.
Now this is what being completely whiped out looks like.

Fun Photo Time

I am finally catching up on my blogging for all of my journal purposes. I love having all of this to look back on and see the fun times our family has had together. I still have one more post to do of our fun trip to Georgia, but I still need a few more pictures, so here are a bunch of new posts for the meantime. Evelyn posing showing off her minus one tooth and new haircut. After a couple tries she finally got the courage to sit in the chair at the salon and let the lady fix her haircut that mommy tried to do. I think she looks so cute.

Hmmm, what else can I do?
Emily's dog was just sitting so nicely so I had to capture that moment.
Dance party outside.
Daddy and Ellouise. About 99% of people always tell me how much they look alike. She does love her daddy.

Bye Bye Tooth, Hello School!

About a year ago Evelyn ran and fell in the kitchen breaking her front tooth. She was able to hold on to it for a while, but when we went to the dentist this last time they informed us it was getting infected and would need to come out. I was really nervous for her cause I know her temperment and how she does not like people getting in her face and well that's all they do at a dentist office. For the last check up before the tooth extraction we were able to get her to lie on my lap while they did a cleaning. She did enjoy wearing the sunglasses.

So on the day of the tooth extraction we went in early to have her drink a little medicine that is suppose to make the child more compliant and relaxed well Kyle and I both knew that would not have any affect on her, and we were right. Then they said well don't worry once we add the laughing gas to it she will calm down and be even more relaxed, well once again Kyle and I knew if there was any chance that a child would not have those side affects it would be ours. Evelyn was stronger than ever and there was no way she was going to lie still while they put the mask on and pulled her tooth. So unfortunately she had to be strapped down to the chair. We were so sad for her because you could tell she was scared and did not want to be there. Thankfully it only took about 2 minutes to pull the tooth out and she was all done. It was quite the event for her, but I am glad it is all over.
On the brighter side Evelyn started a little preschool and is loving it. She has so much fun with the other kids, loves getting on her backpack and coming home to show me all her projects she has made. It is so nice for her to get out of the house and be with her friends. She is just growing up so fast and I can't believe I have a kid old enough to go to school, even if it is just preschool.

Chloe and Evelyn anxiously waiting to go to school.
The other night the clouds and the colors in the sky were so cool that we just had to get some pictures.

Birthday Time

Celebrating yet another birthday for Kyle in August. Evelyn loves to help blow out the candles.
She was so excited to give daddy the card she made for him and "share" one of her favorite treats with him.
Ellouise is getting so big and just loves to be standing up at all times.
Ellouise and her great uncle Marty having a spiritual connection.
Ellouise loves to spit with her lips and seems to think it's really fun at eating time.

More Weddings!

Over the summer there was another wedding, my brother Cody and his now wife, Jessica. It was such a lovely ceremony and so beautiful in San Diego.

One Sunday aunt Madeline did Evelyn and Chloe's hair so afterwards we of course had to go outside and do a photoshoot.



Theses girls love the trampoline.
