Lee, Amy, Lilia and Kaiser












Pictures!












The kids and I got these pictures taken when we went to visit Mandy in Alabama.  I just love them!  The kids look so adorable to me.
Second grade is going great so far!  Lilia has the nicest teacher ever this year.  She seems to really love school.  She loves to read, and is getting better with her handwriting.  She is still doing gymnastics and is going to be starting up Brownies next month.
Kaiser is chatting all the time.  Kaiser wants a fruit snack, Kaiser wants to go bye-bye, Kaiser wants to go to Gomma's.  He keeps us so busy.
Football is in full swing!  The boys are doing great and I am proud of them!

2nd Grade!

Wow!  I can't believe summer is over already.  I was so sad to send Lilia to school yesterday and I cried, in fact.  I just want her to stay little forever.  I keep telling her she can't grow up and she responds with, "Mama I have to grop up because there are a lot of kids without mama's and I need to grow up so I can be their Mama."  I guess that is an ok reason to grow up!
She had a great first day of school and loves her teacher.  I am going to have to get in the swing of things and get used to her being gone again!

They both recently had their bdays.  Lilia turned 7 and Kaiser turned 2.  And he is 2!!!  He threw a total fit in Joann Fabric today because we left and he had to put the cart back.  It pretty much was the end of the world.  I am trying to learn how to deal with it without sticking my tongue out at him or screaming back.  Calm, calm, calm.  Most of the time he is sweet, busy and cute.  It is only a few times a week that the monster comes out and he turns into a different person.  I still think he is the best baby ever!!  He is really into airplanes.  He carries his metal navy airplane around with him.  And the last couple of days he has started talking in the 3rd person.  Kaiser wants a popsicle.  Kaiser wants to go bye bye.  Kaisey wanna hold you.  It is so cute!!

Lilia is still loving her gymnastics.  She is getting ready to take an art class at school.  She is busy, too but still loving life! 

Football has begun so our lives are getting busy!  We joined a community group at church and went for the first time last night.  I loved it!!  And am so happy we got this group of people to hang out with!!

What a complete slacker I am in updating this blog.  I read other people's blogs on a daily basis but can't seem to get myself together!!  Well, gotta start trying harder.

We have all been great.  Adjusting to life with 2 busy kids has been challenging, but super fun.  The two of them are pretty much night and day.  The one similarity is that they both LOVE life.  They are super happy kids.

For spring break we went with my sister and the kids to Glenwood Springs again and had a great time.  Kaiser just floats around in his water wings and really loves it.  Of course Lilia is a fish swimming around in the deep end, going off the diving board. 

She is going to be on the mini barracudas swim team this summer and hopefully they can teach her some good swimming techniques.  2 days a week with one swim meet at the end.  She is still in gymnastics, which she really enjoys.  She finally did her own pullover all by herself last week.  It was awesome to see her progress.  She is going to stay in gymnastics, and is still doing girl scouts.  She wants to do piano lessons, too, but we are going to wait until swimming is over.  We would like our lives to be a little less busy!  She is almost done with 1st grade!  We all are ready for the school year to be over.  She is reading like a champ. 3rd grade level.  Not that I am bragging.  I am so proud of her.  Now if she could catch up with her handwriting.  At this rate, she will be a doctor in no time, the nurses mad at her because she can't write legibly :)

Kaiser is so busy.  He is curious, into everything. He loves dirt, sand, sticky stuff, and anything messy.  He is messy all the time.  Food doesn't stay put.  He throws food on the floor, etc.  He is fun, but you have to watch him all the time so he is not a danger to himself or others!  He is pretty sweet most of the time, but has his brief moments of "no!" but usually you can say "Kaiser, say no thank you," and he will say "no thank you mama."  He has seen time out a few times, and knows what it is.  He is pretty good about staying there when he has to.  I am not sure Lilia ever saw time out.  Compliant kid she was and still is.  Kaiser is talking up a storm.  He likes to repeat everything you say, and he is into trying to make us laugh.

Lee is busy with work and the Rangers, and football season is right around the corner.  I am working and taking care of kids!  We will be off to Florida in June for a much needed vacation.  Disney for a few days and a week at the beach.  We can't wait!  The kids and I are going in July to visit my very best friend Mandy and her family.  Alabama in July will be hot, but I can't wait to see my friend!
