Aislyn's Piano Recital

Aislyn's Solo

BBQ Baby!

Aislyn had her piano recital on Sat. June 6th. She did do the opening prayer but she was so quiet you couldn't hear her. She played "Chimes" for her solo and did fairly well. She is a pro at home but gets a little shy in front of a crowd. We are still proud of her none the less:o) The last couple weeks is seems she is growing up so much! Kynsal too! She walks around the house chattering up a storm and swinging her shoulders for emphasis. And it is official... Kynsal loves BBQ sauce. I craved it like crazy being pregnant with her and she had it for the first time this week and loves it! Well, with a little over two weeks left Aislyn is very excited for the baby to arrive. Kynsal just lifts my shirt, pats my belly and laughs. Our world is about to change again drastically here very soon. We covet your prayers! I am sure Jason will post the news of our newest edition so stay tuned...

Preschool Graduation

Aislyn and Mrs. Marcy

Our Graduate!

Aislyn graduated from preschool yesterday! I had no idea it was such a big event and that they would wear caps and gowns. But, it is sad to think that she will start kindergarten in the fall. My baby girl is growing up to quickly! Before the ceremony I wanted to take pictures of her but Aislyn wanted to talk to her friends and not be bothered. She is our social butterfly! Her class sang "I am a Promise", and "Thank you for our Country". Afterwards we took her to her favorite restaurant, Cracker Barrel. It was a good day! At her parent/teacher conference a few weeks ago Mrs. Marcy talked about how advanced Aislyn is and that she is definitely ready for kindergarten. Every parent thinks their kid is smart but it makes you proud when a teacher confirms it. Now hopefully the graduation of the class of 2022 won't come to quickly!

May Days

Happy Kynsal!

Cruzin the 'hood

I think I am finally current with updates! Let's see... we have made a couple more trips to the zoo before the membership ran out:o( But we have a new baby elephant at the zoo that we were able to finally see. Very cute! And I think that was the inspiration behind Aislyn's mask. The girls love the zoo. Aislyn's favorite animals are the penguins and giraffes while Kynsal's are the flamingos and fish. Probably because she can see them the best. Kynsal barks at all the animals to talk to them. It is very cute! Kynsal has also discovered how to walk backwards. She has to concentrate very hard but then giggles at her accomplishment. She also gives lots of kisses, says "Hi" to everyone and will blow kisses bye-bye. The video below shows her dancing to "itsy-bitsy spider".

We went camping over Memorial Day weekend and had a good time. The girls loved being outside, swimming, the campfire and s'mores. We took them to a couple waterfalls and caves but I think the highlight of our trip was the caterpillar races! Aislyn found "crawly" and "leafy" and several times a day had races with them. She spent hours playing with them and they didn't crawl away the whole weekend! Kynsal didn't sleep very well in the camper but did very good for being sleep deprived. Her favorite part was saying "Hi" to everyone that walked by and all the wagon rides. Hope you all have a great start to your summer! Love you!

Spring Activities

Daddy's golfing Buddy!

Kynsal's crazy hair!

We have made the most of the cooler weather by going to the zoo several times, playing outside, going to the park, etc. Jason has been teaching Aislyn how to play golf in the backyard and she can't wait to go with him this summer to play "real" golf. Aislyn loves games and sports. She can hit a softball pitched to her about 80% of the time. Below you will see a video of her "real" bowling (not Wii) and the outcome. My dad would be proud:o) As for Kynsal, she continues to learn something new everyday. She is saying Mommy, Daddy, baby, Aisey, "Hi kitty-kitty", dog, uh-oh, aaa-que (thank-you), tickle-tickle and eat. She has a mouth full of teeth now and she no longer walking but is running. She loves to go outside and every time we walk past the back door she throws a fit if we aren't going outside. Both the girls love scaring each other and tickling feet. So beware if you come to my house with no shoes on!
