8 months old!

I am the worst mom ever. I was going to remember to take a picture of Kinlee on her 8 month birthday and I totally forgot. I always swore I would take just as many pictures of my last baby as my first, but I am struggling with remembering because we are so busy these days. She is growing like a weed! She crawls backwards, rolls everywhere, talks and yells nonstop, and weighs almost 20 lbs. We all love to hold her and spoil her. Connor and Kadence fight over who gets to "babysit" while I'm in the shower. Yesterday we went to Pioneer park and Kinlee experienced her first Easter Egg Hunt. I had her picture taken with the Easter Bunny, but he was kind of creepy and not friendly at all. Connor wouldn't come with us, he thinks he's too big for that kind of stuff now, so we went with grandma Debbie. The girls really enjoyed themselves and can't wait for our family easter egg hunt next week.

Kadence had one of her last preschool field trips. We went to the Dinosaur Museum and had a really good time. Her favorite part was digging in the sand for shark teeth and she has been begging me to go back to see the alligator eat its dinner. She drives me crazy sometimes because she thinks she is the teacher, but I am going to miss her so much next year. It is going to be really weird not having her or Connor in either of my classes. She was so excited to take her last preschool snack, oreo's and capri sun's, and is really looking forward to our field trip at the end of the month to a farm. I bought her a bed-wetting alarm and she is doing well with it. She doesn't like the alarm, so I only have the vibration part turned on, but it is waking her up. A couple of nights ago we had our first dry night- woo hoo!


Connor's first baseball game of the season is tomorrow night. He is quite the sports fanatic. He tells us on a regular basis that he wants to play in the NBA, hopefully he gets a little bit taller though! He is doing so well in school. Mrs. Pyper has what is called an accelerated reader program in her class. She sends different books home in folders and the kids read them, take a test, and send them back. Connor has read 105 books so far! There are only 1 or 2 other kids in his whole class that are that advanced. He is on leve D of the baggie books (He started on AA) so I can't wait to see how he grows in first grade. Mrs. Pyper is so impressed with his math skills, she has him helping other kids in the class. I don't mean to brag but we are so proud of our little man and what a great student he is. I hope he continues to love learning!
