Trying to Finish Well!

I've been taking pictures of the interesting places Daniel falls asleep at. I'm pretty sure I have one for every month. Here is March April May June Well we are heading off Friday to SD, well see and talk to you all when we get back. Enjoy these for now, and review past post for fun! ;-)

Well 5 work days before Vacation! Wahoo Other than that just standard operation. Dakota is rolling like a pro, Daniel is a distructor, and Kelli is asking questions and has opinions on everything. Which I know in the long run is a good thing. We've now had 13 days since the first day of Spring with Sunshine. Mowed yard, pulled weeds, and am trying to sell the Suburban on Craigslist. Happy Campers Happy Girl

So to tell the story, Kelli has been helping Dakota learn to roll. As a result Saturday the 9th I had Dakota on the Butterfly and she started fussing. When I went to check out the reason she was on her belly. Of course trying to recreate this first independent roll she would not do. That night I had her with me over to Neva's house and had some Girlfriends come over for a Encourager Class activity. And Dakota started wanting to roll over. She finally did and we all cheered her on. She is now rolling quite well but one direction. She is talking and cooing a bunch laughing at siblings and dogs. Big Smiles too!! Trying to recreate, have lots of movies of her first attempts at home Different clothes, but this was Saturday evening complete roll.

Here are pictures of the kids in the swim classes, me included. Daniel & Me Alana, Kelli, Caylee Have a great weekend

Hello, well we are almost done with Swim lessons for the kids. When I get Daniels class picture tomorrow night I will post both his and Kelli's. Of course once that is done we start dog lessons for Sherman. NO I'm not taking on too much! HAHAHAHa We are all looking forward to July in South Dakota! Busy weekends til then. Starting Early! What is this stuff Mom

Hi All, Shanes company family night was last night and as the title eludes we got are family picture taken.

Doesn't seem possible that Dakota turned 4 months Wednesday. Then again I can't possibly have an little girl almost 4 years old and a 2 year old. Been a busy yet good week, Monday really threw off the schedule. I'm proud to remember the Vetrans who fought and are fighting for our freedom. Beautiful weather this week, hopefully will continue throughout the weekend. Kids have been playing in their pool . 13 lbs 6 ounces, 25 1/2 inches Sherman wants to swim too. Neat Trick, lots of biscuits! Have a great weekend, Love, SKKDD

Found a great way to exercise Sherman. Chasing bubbles, great way to exercise dog and kids. Ivan dog just looks at us like were silly. My brother in-law Wade says that Shermans mama Sassy also loves this form of exercise. Great too know!! Ready to strike! And leap! How long before his arms get tired?

My folks were over last week for Daniels birthday. He had his yearly checkup, He weights 31 lbs and 37 1/2 inches long. We had lots of fun with my sisters, brother in-laws, and parents, all the grandkids. We are diffently looking forward to July when we get to see Shanes family for two weeks. Plus Dakota is trying to roll over, she really likes rolling side to side and turn 180 degrees. Kelli & Daniel looking at the new truck Grammie gave Daniel. Grammie Ann and Dakota Bryn sitting up all by herself, and playing with Grandpa's legs Giving and recieving hugs. They do actually get along with eachother. Have a great week!

Wanted to wish all the Mothers out there reading this Happy Mothers Day. Thank you for all you do. Also it is Daniels birthday weekend, we had a party Yesterday with friends from Church and some relatives, & friends. It was a fun time and the weather held out till late evening. My folks are coming in tomorrow to celebrated Daniels 2nd Birthday. Katie Bartlett, Kathy Carter, Alana Carter, enjoying Smores. Daniel & Kelli starting on cupcakes! Kelli helping Daniel with gifts Once again Happy Mothers Day

Happy Birthday Aunt Carrie! Here are some pictures of Kelli at swim lessons. I would have some of Daniel but I'm in the pool with him at the same time. Maybe next week! Kelli with her friends Caylee, and Alana. ( Caylee is next to Kelli, Alana on the end) Kelli showing off her new swimsuit. Happy Dakota, getting ready for clothes. Daniel crashing were he stood.

Hello Everyone. I forgot to mention with the kids being sick last week, that I had trimmed up the ends on Kelli's hair the week before.! I saved the cuttings only about a small handful. Daniel is adding more words to vocabulary, him and Kelli start swim lesson next Tuesday for a four week period. Dakota is laughing, cooing, and smiling more frequently. Found out why she likes her cloths changed it's because her collar bone is ticklish. Yeah I'm styling! Just getting in trouble Get them again Mom!

I know it's been a while, but with Gary Pursel (my sister's father in-law) passing away, & kids getting sick it's been a crazy couple of weeks! The weather is getting nicer, wish we could go outside and enjoy more. What!!! See I fit in the box Mom! I'm ready to start fussing how about you?

Here are some pictures of Easter Sunday with the kids. Anticapating the Easter Egg hunt at some fellow Encouragers house.

Why aren't they this sweet to eachother always. Awe yes, know I remember because they are so young and even though they know better still do. I know I was that way.

Weighing in at 11 lbs. 24 inches, Dakota is two months today!! With all that hair! Daniel out weighs Kelli by a lb., and Sherman chews on everything when not in lock up. God Bless SKKDD

Here is some more pictures of the kids. My gosh my camera never rest :-) Joking slightly. Here is Neva tickling the kids As Shane would say "He's so boring that he can put anyone to sleep" Great ability for a Dad! Enjoy the week Love, SKKDD

Bryn, Dakota, Kelli & Daniel Aunt Neva enjoying Bryn & Dakota

Hello everyone! Here is a silly pictures of Kelli having fun in the mirror! Dawna you will recognize & remember when a certain little sister would practice sad & happy faces in the mirror! Dakota is smiling know without it being gas! And Daniel is more of a Dennis the Menace than before if possible! Lots of Love, SKKDD

Taken this morning, of course Dakota has that look of what's going on? Kelli has the fake smile, but Daniels is original!
