Bowling for Kylie's Birthday

We decided to take Kylie bowling for her birthday and she had a blast. When she first started she was just pushing the ball down the lane, then after watching Kelly and I, she started to try it the other way. She did pretty good. There were a couple of times when the ball came backwards instead of going forward. So we had a good laugh and she would pick it up and bowl again.

Zach was just fascinated with everything around him. During the second round of games we let
him play too and he loved going up and helping mom and dad push the ball down the lane.
There were a couple of times that we wondered if the ball would make it all the way to the end, but it was a lot of fun.

8 Years Old

Kylie turned 8 this week, and she has been super excited because she gets to be baptised. The big
day is just one week away. For her birthday she actually got up and got dressed for school in a very timely matter. (I wonder if it had anything to do with opening presents.) She never gets ready without arguing about something. Zach gave her a Barbie doll that she just loved. She said it was a Green River barbie cause it had a thing of cotton candy in its hand. She also got a new DS game, some clothes for her doll, and her first set of scriptures.

Visiting Family

During Presidents weekend we went to Green River for a couple of days to visit with mom and dad, then we went to Monroe to visit with Grandpa and Grandma Brian and also see Mom and Dads new house. While we were at Grandma and Grandpa's Zach was being his usual shy self to start out with and then he warmed right up. He is a little tease and kept playing with and teasing grandma out of her seat. It was really cute to watch.

Watching TV

The other day I walked into my bedroom and saw
the kids sitting together like this watching cartoons.
It was too cute not to catch with the camera.
Sometimes they get along so great, other times
Kylie just likes to pester him like crazy.

Should I be Worried

My little guy likes to go around the house and put everyone else's shoes on. The other day he walked out of my closet wearing these. One brown dress shoe and one black one. He went everywhere before they finally fell off.
He is such a little character!

Doll Clothes

A couple of weeks ago, my mom and dad came up for a visit. They got to watch one of Kylie's games and we shopped for Kylie's baptism dress.
On Sunday afternoon my mom sat down with a new pattern that she had a whipped out this cute dress for Kylie's doll to wear. It turned out really cute.






Just two days later we found out that Kylie was invited to a friends birthday party and the theme was American girl dolls. So we called grandma up and she hurried and made another one for her friend. My mom is great at doing things like that. She had it in the mail within a day and a half. Your the best mom!

LICORICE

My little man loves his licorice.













I love the little mustache look!

Jr. Jazz

Kylie is playing Jr. Jazz again this year. She seems to be having a lot of fun, and not being as afraid of the ball as she was last year. She will at least go after the shot a little more than she did last year.
