Kyra's Hula Party

I just realized that I never posted pics from Kyra's 6th birthday in early May! So...here they are!

Kyra turning 6! I can't believe our baby girl is 6! She has grown up so much this year. We are so proud of her. She is an excellent helper with Sophy and Hayley, loves playing pirates, tigers, and cheetahs with Myles, has loved gymnastics and has learned to do cartwheels and handstands well. She loves pretending with unicorns and ponies, loves doing crafts, and swims like a fish. We are most excited about the questions she asks about God, and her new eagerness to pray for others. We love you Kyra!
The hula girls

Kyra wanted a hula party so we made leis, wore grass skirts, and had a tropical scavenger hunt, and water balloon fight!

There were 4 in the bed...

A Day in the Life of Sophy~3 months old

~Wake up between 6:30 and 7:30(after sleeping 11-12 hours!!)

~Have a little milk:) and smile at everyone, let Myles smother me with kisses, play in my bouncy seat

~Snooze for 1-1.5 hours

~Eat about 4 more times, smile lots, scream while I'm practicing tummy time, hang out in the sling with Mommy at the store, park, zoo, children's museum or where ever else we go:), and take several naps

~Bath, jammies, milk and bed about 7:30

What can I say? It's a tough life!!

(These pictures were taken by a good friend of ours-aren't they cute!)

Hayley Update...

For those who are wondering(probably only grandparents:))...Hayley is doing great at taking care of business in the bathroom!! She has had very few accidents in the last couple weeks (except when she pooped all over my arm at the dentist, while the baby was crying and Myles had the flu...but, we'll save that story for another time:)). I think the stickers and M & M's have been very motivating:)! We have been out and about a lot, and she's getting better and better! Yay!!

Mylesisms

~(After eating a banana, cup of milk, bowl of yogurt, and some dry Life cereal between 6:30 and 7:00am) At 7:15 Myles asks me, "Mommy, when's breakfast?" (What?????)

~"Mommy, what are you going to be when you're all growed up?"

~"Mommy, what's chicken from? A cow or a lamb?"

~"Mommy, mmm...mmm...G starts with tiger!" (wow, have we got our work cut out for us:))

~Myles: "Mommy, why can't I dig for treasure?"
Mommy: "Because you're digging up all of our flowers."
Myles: "No, I'm not digging up flowers, I'm just digging for roots."

Potty Training Hayley-Day #3

Pray for me!!:)

Kyra's First Medal

Yesterday Scott's middle school track team put on a race for elementary kids. They targeted 4th and 5th graders, but anyone could come. It was 800 meters(2 laps around the track) and the top 15 girls and top 15 boys got medals. Everyone got a race number. Kyra really wanted to run(Myles did too, but he backed out at the last second:)). Here they are with their race numbers.
Little stinkers:)

Kyra ended up getting 13th and beating a bunch of "big girls." We were so pround of her because all the girls took off really fast and then ended up walking in, while Kyra was behind at first but ran the entire way and passed a bunch of people. We all had fun!

Awards ceremony...notice the height difference:)
