K is for Kayla....

Hard to believe, but Kayla is about to embark on a new journey that is going to last many many years. She'll be starting Kindergarten in about a month from now. We enrolled her in a kindergarten prep class, fearing the worst, as she has always been hesitant and shy in new environments. On the first day of class, she lined right up and waved good bye to us without a blink. We were both very surprised and sad at the same time. Turns out she had recognized a familiar face from Kristins ballet class, and was actually excited about school.

Ready for Liftoff!

Ready for liftoff.

Kristin is not a big fan of fireworks. This morning, she goes "Umm, I don't like fireworks. I mean, I like watching it, but it's just too loud." Kayla's all ready to go though. She doesn't mind the noise.

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy 4th of July.

Hoppy Fathers Day

All I wanted for Fathers day was to sleep in.

But instead, check out the SWEET loot I got from the K's.

First off, love this personal letter from Kayla.

Dance recital

This little lady had another dance performance on the weekend. Got all dressed up, make up done, for her 3 minutes of fame on stage.

I can't believe she doesn't have the slightest stage fright, whether it be in the classroom, or on stage. When I was her age, I'd be super nervous when doing anything in front of an audience.

I love her look of concentration on this shot, so serious, lol.

Ur doing it wrong

Ur doing it wrong.

Kristin loves to help around the house, especially now that school is almost done. She helps out at dinner and offers to do little chores here and there. Kayla is the complete opposite. She expects us to do everything for her.

It's not always sunshine and rainbows

Spent Sunday afternoon scraping noodles and bread from the back seat of my car. Someone decided to contract a stomach virus of sorts. She's feeling better now, and no fever, so that's always a good sign.

"Stomach Virus ain't got nothing on me!"

I remember when Kristin was young and had stomach viruses. Not a pretty sight either.

I'm just hoping Kristin doesn't catch whatever Kayla had.
