The last 3 months

So, its been about 3 months since I last posted anything. A lot has happened. After we returned home from Colorado, Kylee started Kindergarten. She loves it! It is nice to have a break during the day, but Will definitely gets excited when its time to pick her up from school. Curt has been busy at work and with school. He is on the craziest schedule and is working or on call during the holidays, but someone has to do it, so no big deal (it could be worse, like him being in Korea, right Carrie) no complaints from me :)

Kylee has made new friends since being in school, and she also played fall soccer with the base. It just finished up last week. She loved it! When I think of Kindergarten, I think of naps and finger painting, but Kylee is reading and adding numbers, its nuts. She wants to read everything around her and spells any time she can.

Will is also getting big, and says a bunch of new words. He is still peeing and occasionally pooping on the potty. He loves to be outside, and wants to do any and everything Kylee does.

For Halloween Kylee was a mummy, and Will was a giraffe. We went to the base library a few days before Halloween, to hear scary stories and play games, both kids loved that. We went trick or treating around the base with our neighbors. After just a couple houses Will retreated to the wagon to eat his candy while I pulled him around.

I have decided that I am really liking the whole crafting thing, and started an Etsy account (http://www.simplycouture.etsy.com) , and I also have been a vendor at local craft shows. It is a ton of fun!

I promise to not be such a blog slacker :) Love you Carrie, sorry for the blog vacation!

Another Busy Week

So, it has been another very busy week, like always. Curt came home on Saturday, and Kylee started school on Tuesday. She got a little bit scared right before they walked to the classroom, but when she came home from school, she had nothing but good stuff to say. Will and I are trying to get in a routine now that we have to get up at 6:30 am to get Kylee to school. I am trying to go to the gym, get the house stuff done, and run all the errands before we have to pick up Kylee from school at 2 pm. It always seems like I have plenty of time, but I never do. Hopefully this next week will get easier.

I took Kylee and her friend to the Paint Your Own Pottery place. The girls had so much fun, when I pick the pieces up I will post pics. Other than that we have been going to the park a lot, going on a bunch of walks, and kinda just hanging out around the house. On Saturday, we went bowling with the neighbors, and afterward we watched their 3 kids so they could go out to eat (it was their anniversary). All the kids were great. We baked cupcakes, while Curt and his friend worked out. Here are some pics from the last week....

The Ladies

So, me and the kids made it home safe yesterday. My friend, Allison, picked us up from the airport. Other than the rain, its good to be home. Today the kids and I went over to Des's house to hang out with her, Danielle and Allison. It's been a while since we have all gotten together, and it was nice to see everyone (well minus the MIA people )

Spectacular Saturday

First off, I finally uploaded the tractor video of Will...its super cute...it's under the blog "Our Terrific Tuesday...Will's 1st Bday"...so check it out.

Anyway, today we had Will's birthday party at my sisters house. It was a sports theme, and I had so much fun decorating the cakes with my sister. My family that lives in Colorado came, my Opa, aunt and uncle, a bunch of cousins, and our neighbors from when I lived here, and my brother in laws mom, so I guess thats my mother in law in law?? Anyway, it was a ton of fun, and it was great to see all my family.

After the party my parents, me and the kids, and Danielle and her family went to the park and let the kids play. Then we came home to make a fire on the back patio and make smores. Super fun way to end the night!! What a busy day, but well worth it!!
