Red Crayon

I had a nice surprise when I opened my clothes dryer today. My sweet daughter, Zaylia, left a red crayon in her shorts and most of the clothes now are speckled with red crayon! I have them soaking, but I'm afraid they will be ruined. So if you have any tips, I am all ears.

Amazing

Amazing, I'm actually posting on my blog!

We've had a busy couple of months and I finally downloaded all our pictures from the past 2 months. A few of the highlights from the past two months, starting from the most recent include:

Jazilyn's first birthday. She wasn't quite sure what to do with her cake.

Then she decided to just go for it!

Yum, I think she likes it!

Kylianne and Zaylia started dance lessons. This is Kylianne's third year and Zaylia's first year. They were both very excited!

On Labor day, our extended family went fishing at Pass Lake in the Unitas. We ate a very delicious trout dinner that night!

The girls pet a possum at the zoo.

Our visit to the zoo wasn't complete until the girls rode the carousel.

We saw this strange van on the road on the way to the zoo. I never knew there was someone who liked stuffed animals this much... hmmm, except maybe Toby. For any of you that don't already know, we have a HUGE beanie baby collection, and they are NOT mine.... (Except for the one that Toby proposed to me with, I suppose.)

Kylianne started Kindergarten!!! I still have mixed emotions about her and Kindergarten, but she absolutely loves it.

We went to Idaho for a family reunion and my sister-in-law Danae snapped these adorable pics of Jazilyn.

Kylianne had her Suzuki book one piano recital with her teacher, Grandma Shari while we were in Idaho.

Aunt Carlene playing around with some of the cousins in Idaho. We had a slip'n slide out and none of the kids knew what to do, so Carlene got to demonstrate :)

The girls had lots of fun with their grandparents, cousins and aunts and uncles in Idaho. I wish we could see them all more often.

Uh-oh, Grandma Shari locked her keys in the trailer. Kylianne came to the rescue!

Last, but certainly not least, we went camping in the Unitas for a week. We had a few sleepless nights, but it was a fun trip with lots of yummy fish!

And if anyone is actually still reading this, here's hoping my next blog post will be sooner!
