Playing catch up....

I know, I have been such a slacker blogger lately. For some reason I just haven't been in the right "mood" to blog. So now it's time to catch up.
We haven't been up to too much lately. Brylee still isn't walking but she sure can crawl fast. She did, however, learn how to pull her self up. I consider that to be a pretty big accomplishment considering all that weight she has to pull up. ;) I've been teaching her her body parts. So far, she knows her tummy, tongue, teeth and her "pretty" hair. After learning wear her tongue was, she wouldn't keep it in her mouth.
We have also had another GREAT accomplishment....I was finally able to put Brylee's hair in little piggies. Most of you know how long I have waited for this day. Finally, she can look more like a little girl! =) I know, it's not much hair, but it's getting there!






Kayston had his 5 year appointment the other day. They did a thing called "K-Days" at his doctor. It was pretty lame if you ask me. All they did was let him take a picture with his doc. and give him milk and cookies after. I was thinking it was gonna be this big ordeal. NOPE! Just a normal checkup. He did pretty good. I didn't tell him about it until we had to leave. They told me I needed to bring a urine sample....yeah right! I told Kayston he needed to pee in a cup and of course he wouldn't. After we got to the Doctors office and he saw other kids coming out of the bathroom with their pee, he decided it would be ok. I wasn't sure how he would do with the shots cause he's pretty brave about most stuff. But as soon as those nurses came in, he wasn't going to have it. Luckily Preston got off early and met us there cause it took all 4 of us to hold him down. Poor kid! (sorry about the pic...it's a picture of a polaroid.)

We also got a trampoline...FINALLY! I told Kayston that if he was SUPER good, he could earn one for his Birthday. I had even made him a "trampoline chart." Well, his birthday came and he wasn't able to earn one. I know what you're thinking...we must be the meanest parents EVER!!! Well, if you know Kayston then you why!! Anyway, ever since he switched pre-schools, he has been a totally different kid. So, we decided that since he has been so good that we would finally get him a trampoline. He loves it! I still get nervous since we don't have an enclosure yet but he does really well on it. Mommy and Daddy have fun jumping on it too!Well, that's pretty much it. We can't wait for summer time. We've got a few camping trips planned and LOTS of Seven Peaks trips headed our way.
