catching up...

...since i wrote last.

kye, lia and i got strep throat the week after sofie had it.

pretty sure it has been the only time i've ever had it and i pray i never get it again.

my throat burned!

we continued on with school after we were healthy.

kye is doing really well in speech therapy.

he loves to go visit joyce--his teacher.

we re-seeded our entire yard.

the family that owned our home before us, had a big dog.

the dog was tied up on a chain in the back yard and the area where the chain reached was completely dirt.  no grass was left.

our front yard had a lot of landscape throughout.  we tore it all out to make more yard.

so it just made sense to re-do the whole thing.

it was a very long saturday!



kye planted himself in the girls lawn chair and didn't move.

he loved the whole thing!

we moved the playhouse to a better spot and made it level.

i was super excited about that!



lia got her hair chopped!

about 7 inches---it's soo much easier for her to care for.

kye is still all-boy!

think this must be his kung-fu pose.

he continues to be his daddies mini-me

and this beauty loves, loves, loves to style her hair.

and she is actually pretty good at it!



can't believe she is almost 9!

we took a week off from school during grandpa bub's funeral.

we spent everyday that week celebrating his life with family members--it was such a special time.



the girls and i had a shopping day with my gram.

lia will be starting her riding lessons soon and my grandparents wanted to buy her first pair of boots.  lia had a ball trying on every pair of boots they had before deciding on a pink pair.

sofie needed a new swimsuit so we headed to old navy afterwards.

both girls had $10 to spend that day--i wasn't sure we were ever going to get out of claire's!

body glitter and hair color--i love my girly-girls!!!
