after effects.

just a few more pics. I took Kristys hair down and it looked so good. Her makeup was still on and I thought I would share these very grown up pictures.

Katy got to bowl!

After a long 20 months of growing and developing and waiting.... Katy final got to bowl. She only manages about half a game before she is spent (lack of a nap helps that one out). She even got a strike. It was great to watch and help her experience something new. She even insisted on using a 10 lb ball at one point. She carried it about half way to the ramp before I had to help.

Bowling Halloween Party

We did a trial run for Halloween today. The girls are going as Barbies from the Diamond Castle story. Thanks Aunt Becky for the perfect necklace to finish off Kristys outfit... the story the barbies find shiny rocks shaped like hearts and wear them as necklaces. The necklace Kristy is wearing I made with the help of Becky, oh... a few years ago..lol. A few pics in the desert before the big bash.


Who says shoes make the dress?
Just too pretty
Katy's ritual for bowling day!
Most all of the bowlers dressed up for the party...
Kristy won the best halloween costume of all the Peewee Bowlers! Yeah!

School Photo

Kristy got her first school picture delivered on Friday. I will be mailing copies to most people, but need to update addresses and everyone knows how good I am about getting things in the mail. Anyway. Here is her pic with the pink (Kristy's and the photographers choice of background) and the blue (my choice). I know it is a school picture (not the best picture) but it is her getting a picture taken by someone other than me. Enjoy! and send me your address if you want a copy.

Background

Kristy was a little bored so I let her choose our new look for the blog. She LOVES PINK! So naturally here we are.

Girl Scouts

Kristy is in girl scouts and today was the trip to the pumpkin patch. We couldn't very well let Kristy go and not take Katy. Pictures are in backwards order, but you get the point.

Lots to say

Kristy got her first quarter report card. She is in the top of her class. She excells at most everything. She is at if not above all targets for the first quarter. The teachers comments were "Kristy is doing a fine job in kindergarten. She is a very concerned student who can often become emotional at times. She is very fearful of getting color cards and is sensitive if she is not getting turns in class. She was able to count to 100 and recognizes all numbers 0-31." She has perfect attendance for the 39 days that she has been in school and was rated good on everything. WE are very proud of her.

Katy has been getting more vocal and will now say (still unrecognizable to the untrained ear) Hello, DAD!, MOM!, down, cup and cheese. She is getting more and more expressive and is possibly more stubborn than Kristy. I know this first pic is not up to par (slightly blurred) but the expression!!!!


I am sure there is more to say but at this point I am exhausted so I will try to post again soon with updates on Brian and I. Night!

Mr. 300

Brian did it! Tonight during league bowling he threw his first sanctioned 300. A perfect game (he would tell you it was a sloppy perfect) but it doesn't matter it was perfect. After adding in his hadicap it gave him a 324 game! Next week we will let the league secretary know what his ring size is so she can order his 300 ring! Gonna get some bling! I will definately post a pic as soon as he gets it. He's only been bowling for about 28 years so this was big. It was nice, a few of the other guys who have thrown 300's in the last year or so hung around to see him do it. It was very exciting. And Brian, don't forget "its not How, its how many!"

Kristy, doing math?

During dinner the other night we started quizing Kristy on sight words. After we had done them numerous times each she took it to math. She wrote down 2+2= and waited for my answer. She stated that I was right and put a check next to the = to say that it was right. We then turned it on her. After a few questions we decided to throw her a curve, add three numbers. And as you can see she did it. We did not o the math for her she counted on her fingers and came up with correct answers!

I've been busy!!!

I had 2 sessions over the last weekend. I am only posting images from one, because I don't know the other family well enough and did not ask if I could publish them. So for now here are the images from Hayden's first birthday session.
