Gabba Gabba = Obsessed

We had never heard of Yo Gabba Gabba until Troy and Kristin came for a visit and now I hear about it every 10 minutes of the day. Kayhlen has become absolutely obsessed with the show. These videos don't do justice because i didn't get to the camera in time but she loves it and loves the instructional dance time.

Growing Up

My baby girl is so not a baby anymore. She is a hilarious 2/12 year old that keeps me on my toes every minute of the day. Kayhlen has become such a good helper with Dax...she likes to be the mom a lot. She is a great big sister. She is becoming more and more independent. She gets up in the morning and takes off her pull-up and puts her panties on and then turns on the tv and watches it until i get up (i usually don't even know when she is awake). I love her so much.

Potty Trained

I'm very late posting this. Kayhlen has been potty trained for over a month now. I can't believe how easily she picked it up. She had 2 accidents on her first day and then was perfect (with the exception of one "off" day a few weeks ago). She wears a pull up at night but it's been so nice not having to buy and change 2 sets of diapers.

Adventures

My friend, Diana came out for a visit and I thought it would be fun to take the 4 wheelers out with her and Diesel. We really enjoyed ourselves for about an hour and a half and then...lets just say...a bit of a disaster. Diana had Diesel riding with her and tackled a hill that in hindsight she probably shouldn't have :) i came around a bend, heard diesel screaming my name and saw a 4 wheeler tumbling down an enormous hill at me...i jumped off my 4 wheeler and managed to jump into a tree to get out of the way. the machines took a beating as did diana and diesel. it's a long story, but they ended up tipping backwards and it rolled over the top of them before tumbling down. everything that followed was nothing more than the hand of the Lord. we were miles away from the parking and had seen 2 people the whole day and within 2 minutes of it happening some strangers happened upon us...long story short, we were watched over and protected that day. diesel came away with stitches and diana with a TON of bruises and scrapes as well as an almost broken nose...the machines have quite a bit of minor damage, but nothing too serious. if you had seen what i saw you would wonder how they are even running. we were blessed that day...we all felt it and we are all thankful for it. all of these pics were taken before, obviously, and then we had to document the trip to the instacare :)

This was how her helmet was pretty much all day...i was dying

Princess Party

My mom threw a princess party/sleepover for the granddaughters that live locally. it was seriously, so cool. she went all out on everything from the cake to the games to the dinner set up. it was awesome. kayhlen absolutely loved dressing up and hanging out with some of her cousins. thanks, grandma.

This is grandma and kayhlen waiting for the other princesses to arrive
