First Place!!!

Finally, the pictures from the Mud Run race that the guys from station 8 ran. They started out clean and white and ended with brown shirts and were nasty from running in the mud and getting sprayed with water from a tanker. I have to say that they did really well they ran six miles in 1hour and 4 minutes and won first place in their division. Here are the before and after pictures from the race. This is a number 8 on the back of their shirt not a fat man.

Loving the pool.

We bought a small pool to put in our backyard so the kids could have something to do during the day. It is so hot here in the summer time you can't just go outside to ride your bike and play on the playset for very long without getting really hot really fast. They love it. Maybe sometime in the future we will get a in ground pool. We have to watch Kadence really closely b/c she has figured out that she loves getting in the pool and bouncing around with the boys. Of course Greyson spoils her and carries her around. Here are just a couple of pics.

Tooth Number 2/ Potty Training

Kymbell first tooth starting poking through and here came number 2. She is such a happy baby that it didn't even bother her. We have been so busy with my aunt and mom being here that we didn't update for awhile. All the kids are sad to see Grammy go home b/c we had a lot of fun while she was here. Kymbell and Kadence were so spoiled during that time b/c my aunt and mom held them all the time.

Kadence has started to show interest in potty training:) Thank goodness!!!! I am tired of buying diapers for 2 children all the time. She has told us when she had need to go number 2 a few times and the pee a few times. I think it is really time to start working really hard with her now that she is interested and wants to learn.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAEDEN!!!!!!!!!

My nephew Braeden is having his birthday party today:( We are very sad that we can't be there for it. So we wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY form here. I sent you a birthday gift with Grammy. I couldn't find what I was looking for so I sent you money to buy something you want. We love you and miss you very much.

Love,

Laney, Kyle, Greyson, Konner, Kadence, and Kymbell

Naptime or was it/ We have a tooth

Kymbell is so darn funny. I laid her down after she went to sleep for her nap and this is how I found 15 minutes after that. She sat in her crib talking to her toys and climbing around. When I went in there she was standing up. She looks pretty darn happy. She also has a tooth coming in, but you really can't see it unless you look really close.

OH NO!!!

Kymbell Rhys found the stairs a couple of days ago and made her way up 3 of them. I really didn't worry to much about it b/c she never goes over there by them. Well that's not the case anymore. Last night I went up the stairs to put the boys to bed and left Kymbell on the floor in the living room. It didn't last long until I heard her little voice saying HI and it sounded alittle to close for me. I ran to the stairs and she had made it to the next to last stair at the top. Now she loves to climb up them and is very proud of herself for doing so.

Our Trip to Disneyland

These are some of the pictures from our trip to California and Disneyland. We had such and great time and the kids did AWESOME. The first day we went to the beach for about an hour. It was a little cool b/c we got there later than expected. The boys didn't mind they jumped right in that cold ocean. The girls got cold and wanted to be covered up as you can see in the pics. We still had fun no matter how cool it was. The next day Kyle had his race and left us early early that morning so we went and played at the pool for 2 hours and then took naps. Later that evening we meet up with a couple that also ran in the race ate dinner in Downtown Disney and then walk around. Downtown Disney was a neat big shopping area with lots of stuff to do. Sunday Happy Father's Day To Kyle went got up and walked to Disneyland at 7:50 bought our tickets and stayed until 10:30 that night. Yes my kids did so good that we did have to leave the park early. The girls took a small nap sometime during the day and the boys went strong all day long. We are so proud of them. The boys rode every ride no problem even space mountain and splash mountain. Kadence rode every ride that she was tall enough to ride. Kymbell rode Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I thought it was just a little boat ride since she could ride. Well I was wrong it has some steep drop off points where I really had to hand on tight to her. We had so much fun that we stayed an extra day and came home Monday. We already have another trip planned for the end of July or first of August. We can't wait to go back. When the girls are old enough we will definitely be getting a year pass for all of us b/c we live so darn close.

Breech!!

Sunny had her dr's appt on Tuesday and found out the baby had just turned breech in the past couple of days. They decided to do a external cephalic version to try and turn the baby. They did that this morning and it worked. Yeah. I was so happy to find out that it worked b/c she did not want to have a c-section. So this means that Tonette and I will be an AUNT again sometime tomorrow. They plan on inducing her sometime in the morning. I can't wait!!!!

Not to far away:(

These are pics of Kadence when she was first born. This top picture you can see Konner is not happy about the new baby. My mom brought the boys to the hospital just to see me and arrived right after I had her. Konner took a few days to warm up to her now they are pretty much best buddies. Anyway I am not looking forward to my little girls second B-day. It will be here before I know it. We have something pretty much going on from now until a week after her B-day July 27th. She was a tiny liitle tot when she was born, but we all know she grew out of that.

Mommy's little girl!!!!

This girl is such a crazy nut. She is always doing something to make Kyle and I smile or just bust out laughing. She is always trying to get out of going to bed at night so she pokes us with her finger to get is to laugh and play with her instead of put her to bed. She is always making faces that Kyle says she gets from me. I think her favorite words are eat, boothbrush, hairbow, and hairplane. She can say anything you ask her to say. She is definitely my child and loves to talk.

The dynamic duo here. Kadence steals the baby food to eat it and ends up sharing with Kymbell to keep her quite while they eat their yogurt melts and peach puffs.

When is Baby Pretty going to be here????

My sister is pregnant with her 3rd child. It is a girl! Yeah for us that puts our 5 boy/4 girl count to an almost even number. Well she is due today and still nothing going on as far as I know. She had a DR appt. on the 28th and they said she wouldn't make it to her next appt.(What Ever) They shouldn't be able to tell a pregnant girl that. All it does it get her hopes up then crush it. So now it's the 8th her due date. Baby Pretty still has no definitive name yet either. The only times I miss really being in Arkansas is not being there to see a new baby and the big birthday parties. I do expect a certain AUNT (TONETTE) to be wonderful a post pictures on her blogspot for me to see.

Just can't make it..

Kymbell just can't seem to make it through dinner anymore. She hasn't been sleeping well at night or during nap time. After her two jars are almost gone she is out. Even with all the noise from the other 3 kids. She always rubs here nose in her sleep then it goes straight to her eyes. She gets really dirty after she falls asleep. The top picture is last night and the bottom is from tonight.
