Where has the time gone?

The last time I posted it was Aug!
We have been a very busy family the last few month.
Kailee is taking dance and baton. She loves it!
School it going great for her, she loves it! She has been in a few parades and has decided that at some time she would like to ride a float!
She is in First grade and gets along really well with her classmates.
We also had or China Reunion the girls had so much fun! They getting so big! They arfe in first grade and 6 years old!

Boys moving back home???

Ryan's lease was up this weekend and he didn't want to live in the same apartment this next year. He has been working in Nebraska so it's not been to easy to get things in order for him.
We moved his things in the basement and garage. Some of his things went right into the dumpster. I could tell other college students did the same thing every dumpster was over flowing. You name it they were throwing it away.
Ryan is thinking that a one bedroom apartment would be best for him. His roommate experience didn't go so well.
Jamie moves out at the end of the month so we will be doing this all again.
fun fun :)

Good bye long hair!

Kailee was so excited to get her hair cut! She had to wait till the wedding and pageant was over with then I said she could get it cut up to her shoulders. The gal cut it a little longer then we thought it would be but she layered it up in the back about 2 inches. Kailee loves it she was so happy with the cut that she said she didn't want it any shorter. It was close to 6 inches I don't think we will be letting it get that long again for a while. This is so cute and easier to manage.

Kailee has enjoyed her Uncle Rusty being home on Vacation. She even has taught him her baton routine that she has learned this summer. Good thing he learns pretty quick she doesn't have a lot of patience. Nick and Austin wouldn't even put the baton in their hands. Must be a boy thing! LOL

My Birthday

Had a great great birthday going out to eat with the family and ending it with an Ice Cream Cake from Dairy Queen that Kailee picked out!

Wedding picture

Casey and Courtney's wedding was beautiful and was a great time.

Wow its been sooo long since I posted last!

Just where does the time go?
The last few months have just flown right by.
At work we have been really busy the College enrollment is way up.
Getting ready for Kailee's Pageant has been challeging since we really didn't know what we were doing. But we were lucky enough to find a few people that have been doing it for a few years so we did get some good ideas from them. Kailee practiced her walk and talk for many weeks. It paid off because she recieved 2nd runner up in the princess division. She was given a large trophy and roses. She loved it I was a nervous wreck the whole day. But she had a smile when we walked in and a smil when we walked out. I would call that a great day. She was invited to CA to compete for the National American Miss Court in November but I think we will wait another year before we go to the next level. This was a great learning year for us. Who knows maybe next year she will be crowned Iowa's N.A.M. Princess!!!
