My Beautiful Flower!

Since all the OTHER children are is school ALL DAY now, Kaylin can now have some MUCH needed one on one time with mommy!!!!!

We enjoyed the Como Zoo last week, and next week will be heading to the MN Zoo..... POOR girl, all this attention.... what is a girl to do??????

THAT'S THE SIZE OF MY UPPER ARM....

For real... this carrot was as round as my bicep!!!!

200th POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it.... I came here to share a great photo and realized it was my 200th post!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, here is the great Photo!!!!

2 weeks ago I went and saw Barlowgirls and CASTING CROWNS at our state fair.... it was the BESTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They both rocked the house! I have never been so energized than that night! If you ever have a chance to see either of those groups, DO IT!!!!!!! You won't regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!

I don't EVER remember being that flexible... I mean, I am sure I WAS at some point... but certainly NOT ANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOOO OUCH, that is ALL I HAVE TO SAY!!!!!!!!!!!

BIG DAY YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Not ONLY was it Shayla's 6th BIRTHDAY!!! (happy birthday baby girl!!!!!!!!!!!) But it was also the first day of school!!!!! Shayla entered Kindergarden, Lucas entered 2nd grade, and Trevor (gosh where did the years go?) entered 4th grade..... UGH, is that middle school knocking at my door...??? TELL IT TO GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, I just love taking picture of the kids the first day of school, standing at the front door, to see how much they have grown!!!!!!!

It is AMAZING to look back and see... When you live with them and see them daily, it is hard to notice... until they stand right by you and all of the sudden, your oldest child is taller than your shoulder..... STOP GROWN ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(not that much growth over last year.... You can tell because he is wearing the SAME SHORTS.....)

(From Eyes to mouth!)

(is it me, or did she grown a 1/2 of a foot????)

WELL, here is wishing my children a wonderful school year, as they begin another new adventure!!!!!!!!
