Preschool Tree Trimming party

At Hailey's preschool they had a tree trimming party, which Hailey was so excited to go to. The kids made ornaments to put on the Christmas trees that are at the school. Hailey was so scared of Santa last year that we told her that he was coming to the party weeks before, so she could get used to the idea. When he walked in the room she was so excited and couldn't stand still waiting in line to sit on his lap. When Santa asked her what she wanted she said without even thinking Barbie and the Diamond Castle. After the kids saw Santa they sang Christmas songs for us and it was so cute.

My baby is one!

Cara looked so cute in her outfit for her party! Except she didn't want to cooperate and pose for me. This is the best picture I could get.

Cara eating her cake, which she didn't really want to. I had to give her a few bites from a fork, that was the only way she ate it.

The cupcakes that I made that shocked everyone (including me)! I am not a very good at baking or cooking. They turned out cute! Thank you to my two helpers for staying up with me until 2 in the morning.

Cara loved playing with the insides of the pumpkin,
we had to keep her pacifier in so she wouldn't eat it.

It is tricyle rodeo time!

Hailey's preschool had a tricycle rodeo for a fundraiser. The kids got donations by getting people to pledge money for every lap that they did. They had 12 minutes to do as many laps as they could on their tricycles. Hailey was so excited, she was riding her bike around the house before we left. When it was her turn she was smiling from ear to ear. She rode so fast I could not even believe it. She never stopped, kids were falling and stopping and Hailey would just go around them. Every lap that she passed us she would wave and it was so cute. When the whistle went off and it was over I had to go and stop her because she wanted to keep going. Well the pep talk her Dad had with her paid off, Hailey did the most laps in her class (and out of all the 3 year olds). In 12 minutes Hailey did 34 laps. She even got a prize! It was so fun, when we got home she asked me when she got to do it again. I can't wait till next year.

Preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch

Hailey's preschool had a field trip and they went to the pumpkin patch. Since I am a room mom I got to go too. On the way to the pumpkin patch I told her that I was coming with her and she wasn't too happy with that. I told her that some other kids mom's were coming too. She was okay with the idea after that, but she did tell me to stay back and let her be by herself with her friends. I tried to not take that personally and stayed back and talked to the other moms. She paid a little attention to me so I was happy. It was a lot of fun. Hailey loves her teacher, she was always wanting to hold her hand when they walked around. They had baby chicks, goats and pigs that they could pet. They had a hay ride and of course she sat next to her teacher. Right before it was time to go everyone got to pick out a pumpkin to take home. It was a great field trip and fun day.

One day I found Cara like this just relaxing on a chair drinking her milk. She climbed up there all by herself and just looked so dang cute.

Cara loves to get into everything!! I was doing something for a few minutes and I came back and saw this. I just had to take a picture. Notice that she is on her tip toes so she can see in the top drawer. (I had just cleaned up the kitchen during her nap, then she woke up and destroyed it)

sea world

We went to Sea World again and had a great time. It was the perfect time to go it was perfect weather and they had Halloween decorations up and trick or treating.

I love this picture of two of them, they just look so cute and happy!







Waiting for the Shamu show

Do you want to play with me?

I thought that these pictures were so cute. (Daddy actually took them) Looking at that picture I really do think that is what Cara was thinking when she crawled up to that little girl.

Hailey's new Preschool

"Someone once said that labor and delivery was the hardest thing about being a mother. That person obviously never had to say good-bye to their "BABY" at the door at preschool."

That's it I am going private

Well I have decided to make my blog private. I have heard too many people telling me about comments left by sickos on their blog. Hello I searched Kyli McKell and my blog email address popped up. let me know your email if you want to be on the Kyli McKell preferred viewing list.

On Great Papa's Farm

While we were in Utah we went to Bryce's Grandpa's farm. He is 90 years old and still goes everyday to feed the cows. Hailey was so excited to go and see all of the animals and she even helpedfeed the horses and cows. He had a huge tractor which she thought was the coolest thing, they took a picture in front of it and she had the biggest smile on her face. When we were leaving he picked Hailey a sunflower, it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. Hailey asked him if she could go back to his house in his car. He said yes and then looked at me and said I will go slow . I just laughed and thought how fast could someone that is 90 really go?

Great Papa is 90???

We went up to Utah for Bryce's Grandpa's 90th birthday party. He was so excited for his party, like a little kid, he couldn't stop smiling the entire time. He picked the food that was going to be served for lunch, and wanted his grandkids to sing a song and his great grand kids to sing I am a child of God. He had the biggest smile on his face during that song, it was so sweet. After the song was over I told Hailey to go and give him a hug, she walked over to him hugged him and said I love you Great Papa. He was so happy, he told everyone what she did.

Pool Fun

The girls love going in the pool and would stay in all day if they could. Cara gets so excited when she gets in and she kicks her legs and screams. Hailey's uncle gave her some goggles and she was so excited to wear them, she didn't want to take them off all day. (even when she was out of the pool)

San Diego here we come

Hailey had such a fun time at Sea World with all of her cousins. We went to all of the shows (they haven't changed in 15 years) and Hailey wouldn't sit in the seats where she would get wet. The next day we went to the zoo and we had a great time. We took a lot of silly pictures and got a lot of stares from people walking by.

Those are some cute kids!

I love taking pictures of my girls. Hailey is three years old and Cara just turned nine months.Of course I think that they are just so cute. They are young and they already know how to pose, I am in trouble.
