First Day, Horay!!!

I can't believe it, our Karolina is starting Kindergarten this morning! She had her assessment with Ms. Rigby on Monday and both Karolina and I really like her teacher. She seems so excited and has a lot of fun ideas for the children. Amalia was excited to start "Mommy Pre-school" We learned the letter "a " today and did her worksheet. She was so serious and cute about it . She put it in her bag to show Karolina. So many fun days ahead:)

New and Improved!!

Karolina asked for eggs yesterday and I was very suprised. I made her some and she loves them! Another healthy food item to add to our menu of likable foods! Yeah!!! Maybe time and patience do pay off:)

Amalia was excited about earning a toy at Toys R Us, she chose the little pony that walks and talks! She named her pony "Breezy Blossom!"

Kerksiek Cousin Retreat

A few weekends ago we had the first Kerksiek Cousin Retreat. We stayed at my Aunt's cabin, ate yummy food, made things, played games, shopped in Park City and had manicures and pedicures at a local spa.Most of all we enjoyed one anothers company. We decided that at our big reunions we never get the chance to talk with one another as we are always chasing our kids! And we never get the chance to get to know the new "cousin -in - laws!"So the rule was only nursing babies were allowed! So the kids stayed home with their daddies. My kids had a blast with Felipe. They went to the dinosuar museum and out to eat. Plus they got him all to themselves for two days. It was fun for everyone!!! We are hoping to making it an annual event, so everyone can plan on it and fly in if needed!

Fun with the Clayton cousins!

Karolina and Amalia had fun playing with the "second generation" Clayton cousins. They were so friendly and great hosts and hostesses! Not to mention the fun playroom!

Silly girls!

I had to take a pic of Amalia's hair. This is a result of too much car seat time and a night of tossing and turning! We definitely buy a lot of detangler with her curley locks!! The bottom picture was taken by request per Karolina! She made the lion mask for herself and the princess mask for Amalia ( complete with eyelashes of course!!!)

Fun weekend visits with Out of Towners!!

We had a fun weekend with Hannah, Axel, Hannah, Hester, ! We hung out, went swimming and had a yummy dinner. We were also able to visit with Grandma and Barbara, also very fun!!!

Alligator, Alligator, what time is it?

Felipe's brother has been visiting the past few weeks. The cousins have all enjoying being with each other. They love to play alligator, alligator-- especially my girls! The older cousins have been so good to humor the younger ones and they played over and over! Amalia especially loved playing with Alex, he was so sweet to her, they both have the same color auburn red, curley hair!
