Kaylee's Birthday

On this day three years ago we welcomed Kaylee Jolene in to the world. She was just so cute!!

This was the most scared moment in Mommy's life. The first time we all left the hospital to go home.

Then she was One!!

Then Two!!

Now Three WOW where does the time go! Daddy surprised all of us by taking the day off and he made us pancakes and eggs. Then we made me some cupcakes. I was so excited to eat the batter.

I then helped mommy sprinkle them.

We then went to a place with a lot of jungle gym's and I went down a big slide and you went really fast.

There were so many things to play on.

Kendall even got to play on the toys with me. She had so much fun just crawling around.

She got to go down a big slide all by herself. At the end of the day Kaylee had a pretty good birthday. We went to Chuck e Cheese for dinner and games with Korey and Maggie. Let's just say that she was pretty worn out tonight!!

Weekend up with Grammar's and Papa Roethler!

We went home to Iowa this past weekend. Mommy and Daddy went to the Iowa State Football game on Saturday. So Grammar's and Papa Roether watched Kendall & I on Saturday afternoon. We played outside for most of the afternoon. I thought it was really fun to pick up all the pinecones and put them into my bucket. Then I laid them all out on the dock.

Papa and Kendall were checking out papa's mum garden. He has lots of pretty colored mums in it.

Here we are in front of Papa's mums with Grammar's, they are so pretty.

I had such a fun day with Grammar's and Papa that I fell a sleep in the toy box.

Papa thought it would be a good idea to share his popsicle with Kendall. She loved it and kept going back for more.

Pumpkin Patch

Friday night we got to go to an open gym. I got to do a lot of things. Climbing this rock wall was just one of the things I got to do. I also got to run down a long trampoline and then jump in to a foam pit.

We got to go to the pumpkin patch yesterday. I was running all over the field trying to find the perfect pumpkin. As you can see I was having a lot of fun.

Kendall was guarding our pumpkins with daddy.

We got them home and Mommy gave this one to Kendall to hold it for her.

Here is a picture with all my pumpkins.

Kaylee the Pirate!!

Kaylee was being a pirate. She walks around with a head band on and say Ahoy Matey.

Kendall is growing so fast. She kept pulling herself up on the door of this car. So I put her in it and she was loving it.

Crazy start to our weekend!

This is how our weekend started on Friday. We had a very unusual weekend as there was a man on our street that was served eviction papers and when the Sheriff went to the door the man threatened the sheriff with a weapon and told them to get of his property. That is when it all began. We then had the SWAT team show up. We were stuck in the house and couldn't leave. This was a member of SWAT just outside our front door.

Here is the SWAT in the armored truck in front of the man's house.

They shot about 100 rounds of pepper gas into his house. They were really loud. Kaylee just kept telling me it was okay Mommy. They really scared my every time they went off.

Finally it ended on Saturday after 29 hours. The man walked out alive.

Here is the command center and some of the guys that helped get a good ending to the story.

Daddy's Racing Experience!

Here's all of us decked out in our ISU gear. It didn't help us to win the game though.

Kendall wearing her cheerleading outfit.

Today we went to the Kansas Speedway to watch daddy drive a race car around the track. Mommy got him this gift for their Anniversary.

Here is daddy driving around the track.

Daddy coming in after his 8 laps. Daddy said that the cars were not very comfortable to sit in. The paper's that daddy got said that his top speeds were 150.

Playing Outside

Yesterday we got to play outside.

Kendall really like's my swing. I have become a big girl and swing in the big swings now.

Mommy bought me this new hat, so now I have a hat just like daddy's.

I always want to hold Kendall. Mommy tells me to be really careful all the time. I sometimes think that I am a big person and can just carry my sister around. Kendall is getting so big, she can sit all by herself and she army crawls as daddy calls it. She has crawled normal too, but she prefers to army crawl.
