Surprise, Surprise, I'm behind again!
Things have continued to be as busy as ever and I don't anticipate anything slowing down in the next few years!
Since I missed the months of August, September and October I'll do a little recap
August we did a couple more kids rodeos, the girls both love it. Kynlie and Locklyn both started riding JJ on their own and do great. It helps that he is about the best horse in the whole world! We couldn't have gotten any luckier getting him!
Neil won Baker's Demolition derby and as always, put on a great show, I LOVE watching him derby! He went to Miles City the next weekend and took second.
Labor day Kynlie went down to the cabin with Lee and Linda so Neil and I took advantage of only having 1.5 kids and fixed some of the things on the house that got damaged in the hail storm.
We also snuck in a kid free trip to Bismarck to their parade of homes to get some ideas for when we build next spring. It was a great weekend and we ended up finding quite a few things we will do in the new house.
Kynlie had her 4 year checkup the beginning of October in Bismarck, my mom went along to help with the girls as I had an ultrasound and dr appt in the morning. Baby is still doing well, a little on the big side. Kynlie weighed 37 lbs and was 42" long. Both above the 75th percentile.
Kynlie did the recreation department's sports sampler and now is doing their crafts. She is still loving preschool and asks almost every day if she gets to go to preschool today.
Her and Neil shared a birthday party again at Grandpa Lee's game room and Grandpa was so awesome about it, he even cooked supper for all our guests! He's the best!
Locklyn has developed a dislike for clothes and spends most of her time running around naked, which prompted me to start potty training her a little early. She does pretty good most days. We still have to get he pooping in the potty down but it will come. She was staying dry in panties all day for a few weeks then decided to stop going on the potty at all, but we just keep plugging away and she'll get back to it again!
October 14, my brother called and said they were going to be having their baby that day. Dad couldn't get off work early so mom, the girls and I loaded up and headed down to Sheridan, WY to see the new baby. Dad and Neil came down after work. The girls both said the baby was going to be a boy and they were right. We welcomed Raymond Patrick to the family that evening.He is perfect in every way and sweet as can be.
Kids couldn't go into the birthing center so we had to try and keep them entertained while everyone was in snuggling Raymond. My cousin came and got them one night and took them to her house, which was a lifesaver.
They did get to see him through the nursery window and were pretty excited about that
Last week we carved and painted pumpkins before daddy left to go elk hunting. The girls loved it and made a mess out of themselves with the paint.
Since daddy left for hunting, we went back down to Sheridan to snuggle the sweet new baby again. Kynlie and Locklyn loved him and had a hard time taking turns holding him. Kynlie couldn't walk by him without stopping to look at him and smile and say "He's so cute" or "He's so tiny."
Locklyn held on to him tight and smiled the whole time she held him but still tells me "NO!" when I ask if we should have a baby like that!
