Ky turns 5!

 I woke her up early on her bday because Derek was on the radio. So she had breakfast in bed and listened to her dad wish her a "happy birthday" on the radio! I'd say shes one lucky girl. She totally got a shout out.

 Opening her presents. We decorated her room and the house while she was sleeping.

 Party time!

Cant believe my baby is 5! It was a really fun day. Now we are ready for this baby to come!!!

Birthday festivities

 Ky's been in a play group this past year every tuesday. Well we celebrated her birthday at playgroup at the beginning of the week. She sure got to drag out her bday this year! Here she is making cotton candy.

We were sooo soo proud of kylee jo. She had one of the biggest parts of the play and did an awesome job! I seriously was looking up there when it first started thinking, I cant believe how brave she is. She started off the play by singing a song. After the play was over she gave Derek a hug and said "dad I was a little nervous". Those are one of the moments in life where you sit back and think, she is OUR joy and happiness. We know that each and everyday, but it makes you really think that nothing else in this world matters more than family. She is truly amazing!

Getting ready for baby!

 Surprise! I had a few friends throw me a surprise baby shower. We have this brunch group we do once a month and my friend Jen threw me a shower! I am so grateful for such great friends! Thank you to all who came! You ladies are awesome.

 Fara and Jen...I didnt get the whole group on my camera :(

 Kylee jo getting ready for her brother. She found baby shampoo and insisted she practiced giving her babies a bath. So cute!

This is my little pedicurest! lol We have had so much fun these last couple of weeks doing nails. We pretend we are in a salon and she tells me all these stories! Its so funny....she is normally a different name and has a daughter named kylee. She is 25 and does hair and nails. Its the cutest thing. Love this little girl.

One proud wife!

We found out last week that Derek got into Graduate School!!!!!!!! I am soo soo proud of him. I admire his dedication and determination. We will be attending The Marriot School of Buisness this fall. We feel so blessed and are looking forward to a new adventure.

 Well this little girl went to the dentist and got a cavity filled, she was so excited to go. She did awesome! Not one tear...who gets excited about the dentist? lol

This poor dog gets put through alot! She is so good though, here she is at the "doctor". The blanket is taped around her, Im guessing so she doesnt move.
