Goin On My Trip, Mom

Kelsie came knocking at my bedroom door this morning. When I answered it she said, "Mom I am ready to go on my train trip I am all packed." It was so cute she had her backpack and suitcase ready to go. I asked her what she had packed in her suitcase and backpack- as I looked in she said her "George (stuff monkey) and bear" in her suit case. And then nicely folded in her backpack "Princess dress and shoes". Kyle and her were going to leave today to take the train up to his mom's house. But late last night we decided to wait until Monday to go. Kelsie didn't find out that she wasn't going until this morning and she was so sad. She is so excited to see grandma and spend time at grandma's house.

Another thing that happen today was kind of funny and sad. Karlee who is 10 1/2 months old, likes to follow me around the house she is like my little shadow and I love it. I was unloading the dishwasher and she was right there helping me. She likes to play with the place were you put the soap, you know how it has the little lid to shut. Well she was playing around with it and she was trying to close it with one hand while the other hand was in the right in the way where it would close. She would push it close harder and scream out in pain as her hand was in the way. I rushed to her aid, pick her up and gave her hugs and kisses. The funny part about this is that she did the same thing about two days ago, you think that she would of learn the first time. Okay it is not really that funny. I think now I will close that lid so I don't lose my helper and she doesn't get hurt anymore.

Three Ring Circus

The circus was in town today and we were able to go. Kyle's friend Ryan got us free tickets. This is the first time that any of us have ever been to the circus, so we were excited to see what was in store. We showed up about 15 minutes late, we found a seat where we could. Unfortunately it had a beam in the the way of the stage.

As you can see here while looking at the middle ring, here is a picture of the Tigers with the ringmaster. I think that it was cool-we couldn't see it that well.

So in order for the kids to see the show better they went up to the fence around the entrainment. They didn't get to hang out there to long until they were told to go sit down. But the kids were having fun and seeing all the cool things going on. Some of the things we saw rope dancers, jugglers, magicans, tigers, cartoon poodles and many other cool acts.

This is one of them, this guy is from Peru and he would run around in this ring making himself go in a circle. I don't think that I could do it, actually I know for a fact that I wouldn't because he had nothing holding him in and it was kind of scary to think what if he takes the wrong step. I do think that these circus performers have a lot of talent and guts.
Here are the three kids sitting on one of the 3-rings of the circus. They have intermission in the circus where they give you the opportunity to ride the elephant for $8, face painted for $8, have your picture taken with a bear $6, ride a blow up slide for $6, pony ride for $8, have your picture taken with the cartoon poodles in their pink car for $6. Oh and they remind you to stop by the concessions for a treat- I am kind of scared to know how much those cost. So the above picture is the only one I could afford-FREE. I think it is cute.

This is also another picture that I was able to get of the family (I asked someone walking past to take the picture). You can see the cartoon poodles on the right side and the picture with the bear is on the left in the background. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the circus. Thank you for the tickets Ryan we had fun.

Jaron's Funky New Dance

On Sunday morning Jaron had come up with a new funky dance and wanted to show me. I thought it was so funny the way that he made like a square as he did his dance. He was so proud of it. I thought you would get a kick out of it too. He is such a cute boy. I love him, he make me smile everyday.

Another Blog By Me

I just wanted to let those know who didn't know. I have another blog where I post a picture everyday or at least I try to get it posted everyday. But there is a picture for everyday. My best friend was doing it and so I thought that I would too. It is called Project 365, what is Project 365 you ask? It is a way to keep track of life's little things. One photo, every day, for one year. Then I can look back at my life and remember even the tiniest parts that would otherwise have been forgotten. So if you want to check our pics a day you can check it out here: http://365projectangie.blogspot.com/
Love ya.

Kallie's Basketball Game

On Saturday Kallie had her second basketball game. I was able to go this time, Kyle went last week. I got some of her game on video to share with you. It is a longer video then what I usually do. So if you don't want to watch it, it is okay. When Kallie started playing basketball she was a go getter and was making baskets. But since they started playing games she has shied away from the ball and not as enthused about it, but she is still having fun. She is number 20 in the white. Turn your volume down or off so you don't hear the yelling. Thanks for watching.

Jumping Bean

Karlee really goes to town when she get in her bumper jumper. At one point you can hear her talking and waving to you.

Basketball Star in the Making

For Kallie's New Year's resolution this year she wanted to learn to play basketball. She came home with a flyer from school the YMCA with a reasonable priced basketball class. So we sign her up and tonight she had her first practice. I think she is a natural-she was making all but one of the baskets that she was throwing. I took some video of it so I thought I would share it with ya. The funny thing about this is that her legs remind me of my legs when I was her age-sticks and knobby. But she is way better at basketball then I was, hopefully she got that from Kyle.
