Cocoon/Caterpillar

 Back in October we found a caterpillar, so we found a home to keep it in. It even made a trip back to Iowa with us. Then one day in October it started to make a cocoon. So we fast forward several months, and this cocoon has just become a part of the family. We moved it to the apartment and this whole time Kyle keeps telling me that the cocoon/caterpillar is dead. Then late last night Kyle heard this strange noise and come to find out the cocoon/caterpillar is alive and now a moth!! 

 So this morning Kaylee woke up and I told her that there was something downstairs to see. So we ran downstairs and she was so happy to see the moth.

She was pretty sad to let it go, but I told her that it needed to go and see its mommy & daddy and that made it a little better. This was such a fun thing to do with her, but now she wants me to find a caterpillar that turns into a rainbow butterfly!

Kendall's Sense of Fashion

 Kendall decided to dress herself the other day. Her onsie had to be snapped on the outside of her leggin's. She also wanted red socks with pink squeaker shoes.

 Finished up roofing on Saturday with minimal weather affecting the house during the framing process. Kyle was very happy as it didn't rain or snow to get all the flooring wet. All the furnace duct material is delivered and waiting to be installed. Electrical and plumbing should also begin very shortly.

 They have also installed all the windows, except the block windows that go in the master bath.

Back covered patio.

Progressing Nicely

 Framing started last Tuesday, so within one week they are already sheeting the roof. Shingles should start tomorrow if the weather holds out.

 Starting to look like a house. The garage doors are framed in and the front entry is being built.

Happy 2nd Birthday Kendall

 Blowing out the candles!!

We found out that Kendall really loves carrots.  I think Kendall turned into one!

 All the cousins! Don't get many changes to get a good photo like this.

 Blaine Kyle and Kaylee playing with Kendall's new tool bench. Which was a big hit with Kendall and Kaylee.

 Opening some more presents!

Kendall just loves this squirter bottle that came with her baby alive. Thank you too all the family for driving down to Kansas City to help us celebrate Kendall's Birthday! We really enjoyed spending the time with all of you.

Walls are going up!

Finally We are making some progress!!

First snow fall!

 They girls were being silly as usual. Playing with my hat!

We woke up this morning to our first snow fall. The girls were so excited to get outside and play in it. We were out before 9:00 this morning playing in the snow.

This is Kendall first real snow that she could go out and play in . She had a blast. 

Big sister was eating snow so Kendall thought she had to join in. 

Play date with Preston!

We have finally sold our house!! So now the packing begins. The girls found this big box and think it's their toy house. Never thought a box could bring so much joy to two little girls!

A little snack time in their box!

 Last week at school we made a bagel bird feeder. So we hung it out over the weekend and a pretty cardinal came to eat off it!

We had a play date with Preston from across the street. Kaylee & Kendall just love Preston. We got to play on the Wii. Both of them were so cute dancing, even Kendall was joining in the fun!
