It's 2014 After all

I've been admiring my sister's blog for awhile now and decided it was probably time to begin my own.  After all, it's 2014 and only Kyle's baby book is almost finished.  Maybe this will help me keep my thoughts organized until I find the "time" to complete Kianna and Natalie's baby book.

In the meantime, January 2014 is going well.  We rang in the New Year with just our immediate family and discussed vacation, or "baycation" options with the family.  Normally, we ring in the New Year with the Willis', Ranes' and Brendle clan, but they had a few sickies.  So, we rang in the New Year last weekend with them and the children had a great time!

Kyle has started playing basketball through Upward sports.  It's a Christian organization which teaches the fundamentals and basic bible verses through basketball play.  It's been fun watching him learn the sport-but I must say, I/We have a lot of teaching to do-he's too excited on the court and focusing is NOT his strong suit.

We've also enjoyed a few outings with my Mom's group and as a family.  Below are some pictures of our adventures.

And of course, many of our days are spent playing with all of our toys.  All the kids were spoiled at Christmas this year, so we have many new toys to play with.  Natalie is 8 months old, almost 9 months and loves to see the cute little baby in the mirror.  Below she is learning to pick up puffs and put them in her mouth.  She may be chunky, but she looks super short in her high chair.

Until next time……..
