Why would I want to smell your armpit?<br />Alex: Because, girls armpits smell like flowers. Like roses! See? Smell!<br />So...I smell.<br />Alex then smells her own pit.<br />Alex: MMM!

It snowed last night for the first time this year so of course we had to get out in it right away this morning. It was still dark out but we were all so excited about the first snow and wanted to play in it before the sun melted it. Brrr!! We were out for less than 5 minutes and came in to have hot chocolate!! :)<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCkaJ7uroI/AAAAAAAAAx8/p4uHQ_cP5DE/s1600-h/10-10-09+244.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390989523212480130" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCkaJ7uroI/AAAAAAAAAx8/p4uHQ_cP5DE/s320/10-10-09+244.JPG" /></a> We celebrated Ryleighs first Birthday Sept. 19th!

Last weekend she was upstairs playing when she all of a sudden started screaming. I ran up to find out she had hit her mouth on the futon. There wasn't any blood but she was crying so hard. I eventually gave her Tylenol because her teeth hurt. Her lip puffed up a tiny bit but then when we woke up the next morning this is what she looked like...<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCigIE7OuI/AAAAAAAAAxc/Izg3ID2vHmU/s1600-h/10-10-09+225.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390987426770139874" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCigIE7OuI/AAAAAAAAAxc/Izg3ID2vHmU/s320/10-10-09+225.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I ended up taking her to the dentist because her front teeth were loose and one tooth was pushed back while the other was pushed up. Luckily they'll move back and firm up on their own. It was all black under her top lip...all bruised up and really ugly looking. Poor girl!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StChxQ1ZNSI/AAAAAAAAAxU/ksT3klrdFMQ/s1600-h/10-10-09+227.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390986621667063074" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StChxQ1ZNSI/AAAAAAAAAxU/ksT3klrdFMQ/s320/10-10-09+227.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Eric got a black eye the first week of school. He got kicked in the eye and ended up with a pretty nasty shiner!<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StChWZplZeI/AAAAAAAAAxM/PNe30uO3BFo/s1600-h/10-10-09+023.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390986160176981474" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StChWZplZeI/AAAAAAAAAxM/PNe30uO3BFo/s320/10-10-09+023.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And poor Ryleigh is learning to walk and so she face plants A LOT! This owie is old and doesn't look so bad but it was ugly for a while. She face planted over and over to get this one and part of the problem was crawling faster than her hands could go!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCgrgp4MGI/AAAAAAAAAxE/4D9OmueHxpw/s1600-h/10-10-09+001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390985423322886242" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCgrgp4MGI/AAAAAAAAAxE/4D9OmueHxpw/s320/10-10-09+001.JPG" /></a><br /><br /> Silly kids!<br /><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCc8Mo2e7I/AAAAAAAAAw0/1f4HGuvAxtE/s1600-h/10-10-09+108.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390981311961136050" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCc8Mo2e7I/AAAAAAAAAw0/1f4HGuvAxtE/s320/10-10-09+108.JPG" /></a><br /><br /> <br /> Alex really is a monkey!<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCcFMByurI/AAAAAAAAAws/AhigJt9-6Ps/s1600-h/10-10-09+103.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390980366904507058" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCcFMByurI/AAAAAAAAAws/AhigJt9-6Ps/s320/10-10-09+103.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /> Pictures in the leaves...<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCbXj4mBiI/AAAAAAAAAwk/ex7NPBjodiI/s1600-h/10-10-09+064.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390979583034394146" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCbXj4mBiI/AAAAAAAAAwk/ex7NPBjodiI/s320/10-10-09+064.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCao-yK8cI/AAAAAAAAAwc/wr9Hnuz-gzI/s1600-h/10-10-09+070.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390978782801359298" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCao-yK8cI/AAAAAAAAAwc/wr9Hnuz-gzI/s320/10-10-09+070.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCZzmGeyYI/AAAAAAAAAwU/XU7EjvSBAZs/s1600-h/10-10-09+073.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390977865642592642" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCZzmGeyYI/AAAAAAAAAwU/XU7EjvSBAZs/s320/10-10-09+073.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCY_Vja3aI/AAAAAAAAAwM/HpJ67oNp6Oc/s1600-h/10-10-09+099.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390976967847370146" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCY_Vja3aI/AAAAAAAAAwM/HpJ67oNp6Oc/s320/10-10-09+099.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCYNG78WOI/AAAAAAAAAwE/86sAftsUQ-w/s1600-h/10-10-09+087.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390976104930236642" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/StCYNG78WOI/AAAAAAAAAwE/86sAftsUQ-w/s320/10-10-09+087.JPG" /></a><br />Sorry for all the pictures and little update.

He had his "first" day yesterday. He only had to go for an hour and we got to go with him. It was 30 minutes with his teacher in their classroom and then 30 minutes for bus safety. Yep, I'm one of those moms that would LOVE to go to school everyday with their child! OK...not really. I just worry about how he is doing. I'm sure it's going to get easier and I'm sure he is having a blast!

It was cute reading their answers and so even though my kids are a bit younger I still thought it would be interesting to hear their answers! I'm not sure how I feel about some of their answers though! :)<br /><br />WHY DID GOD MAKE MOTHERS?<br />Eric: Because I need a mom. If I didn't have a mommy, I'd be alone. (Alex argues: You'd have a dad.)<br />Alex:Because Mommy, Jesus of the Christ make you happy.<br /><br />HOW DID GOD MAKE MOTHERS?<br />Eric: Putting blood, bones and a spirit in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mommy's</span> body so she can run, walk and be a mom. And can only die when she's old.<br />Alex: Happy<br /><br />WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE MOTHERS MADE OF?<br />Eric: Babies<br />Alex: Makeup<br /><br />WHY DID GOD GIVE YOU YOUR MOTHER AND NOT SOME OTHER MOM?<br />Eric: Because I was your baby and you did have me.<br />Alex: And not another daddy? Because Dad love you.<br /><br />WHAT KIND OF A LITTLE GIRL WAS YOUR MOM?<br />Eric: Like Lisa. (my sister) You have the same hair as Lisa.<br />Alex: A little, little girl<br /><br />WHAT DID MOM NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DAD BEFORE SHE MARRIED HIM?<br />Eric: I don't think you needed to know anything.<br />Alex: I don't know <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">dat</span>!<br /><br />WHY DID YOUR MOM MARRY YOUR DAD?<br />Eric: You <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">thinked</span> he was handsome and he <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">thinked</span> you were pretty and you <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">thinked</span> you should marry him.<br />Alex: Because daddy just married you because...I don't know. This really hard.<br /><br />WHO'S THE BOSS AT YOUR HOUSE?<br />Eric: My mom and dad. Who's the real boss? Daddy because he's big enough. You're kinda the same height but he's 12 and you're 14.<br />Alex: Mommy and Daddy.<br /><br />WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOMS AND DADS?<br />Eric: I don't know<br />Alex: When you are fighting?<br /><br />WHAT DOES YOUR MOM DO IN HER SPARE TIME?<br />Eric: Eat<br />Alex: Exercise<br /><br />WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO MAKE YOUR MOM PERFECT?<br />Eric: To be pretty or beautiful. You are beautiful and pretty all the time.<br />Alex: Exercise<br /><br />IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR MOMMY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?<br />Eric: Change your hair to be curly like <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ice cream</span>.<br />Alex: <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">umm</span>...a dress?<br /><br />Gotta love children!! :)Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-81453690309836513452009-05-04T12:29:00.000-07:002009-05-04T14:03:23.312-07:00Go Go Go...I don't know how long its been since I last posted but it feels like its been forever. We've been going nonstop lately. This last <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Saturday</span> was our first <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Saturday</span> that we've been home it a long time...and that doesn't really even count because Andy had to work half a day. Our weekdays are so full too...maybe its the warm weather?? I know <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">I've</span> thought of things I wanted to post as we did them but it's been so crazy I didn't get a chance and now I don't remember them! Oh-well I guess! The pictures I'm posting are a bit out of order but I was too impatient to get it them all straightened out!<br />A couple of Saturdays ago I went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Aitkin</span> for my soon to be sister in laws bridal shower. My sister put it on for her and did a fantastic job! Lots of work went into it and it turned out to be loads of fun!! After the shower my brother, Russ, and his wife had the missionaries over for dinner and decided to have a bonfire at my grandparents house. My brother Bryan (the one getting married) and his family came over too. I love bonfires!!<br /><br /> Me and my niece Natalie (she's so cute!!)

She has a chart she puts stickers on whenever she goes potty in the toilet and about every third square there is a reward listed. Today she landed on picnic so here she is enjoying it!!<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sf9HekpH1iI/AAAAAAAAAsM/cOoYElpIbis/s1600-h/5-4-09+137.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332059074387760674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sf9HekpH1iI/AAAAAAAAAsM/cOoYElpIbis/s320/5-4-09+137.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Saturday after Andy got off work he decided to climb the tree in the back yard to trim it. It was so funny watching him try to climb it!! Then even funnier watching him try to get out of it. He broke one of the branches (a nub) he used to get up so it wasn't there to help him get down.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sf9HEIjuE_I/AAAAAAAAAsE/bOkH-6piCXE/s1600-h/5-4-09+120.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332058620172309490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sf9HEIjuE_I/AAAAAAAAAsE/bOkH-6piCXE/s320/5-4-09+120.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Of course Eric had to get up in the tree! He didn't want to get down. I wish we had trees he could climb but this is the only one we have. Alex was having fits watching her daddy up in the tree. She was scared he was going to fall. I gotta say I was pretty scared watching Eric up there too. He kept wanting to climb higher and higher.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sf9GOrAKhdI/AAAAAAAAAr0/pNMUwn6SfNw/s1600-h/5-4-09+127.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332057701705483730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sf9GOrAKhdI/AAAAAAAAAr0/pNMUwn6SfNw/s320/5-4-09+127.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Ryleigh</span> got a pretty bad sunburn...on half of her face...<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sf9FyBFhIwI/AAAAAAAAArs/4lIPyVFom18/s1600-h/5-4-09+073.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332057209417310978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sf9FyBFhIwI/AAAAAAAAArs/4lIPyVFom18/s320/5-4-09+073.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Yep, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">that's</span> our girl!

Her husband is working in Iraq and won't be home until July(<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ish</span>) so we went to hang out with them and help with yard work. Danny, Andrea and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mya</span> came too and so we all just had a blast!! Here are a ton of pictures of our fun weekend!<br />We all got there Friday night and brought pizza's. It was a fun night of American Idol <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Wii</span> and hanging out. Danny and Andy singing and dancing is a sight to see!! So funny!<br /><br />Saturday morning Andy and Danny woke up early and went to St. Cloud to look at a car for Andy. I didn't really think they'd get it (Andy had been so back and forth on cars) but they traded his car in and came home with this.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Se8mul2w_yI/AAAAAAAAAq8/2k0ud3NS5QQ/s1600-h/4-22-09+032.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327519466080239394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Se8mul2w_yI/AAAAAAAAAq8/2k0ud3NS5QQ/s320/4-22-09+032.JPG" border="0" /></a> 2007 <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Mitsubishi</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Galant</span>. VERY nice car! We really like it!!<br /><br /><br />Then we all got busy and started doing wood. Andy and Danny chopped it and us girls loaded, unloaded and stacked it. Then we built a brush pile to be burned but it was too dry to start fires. The following pictures are from Sunday. We got up and started the yard work again. More chopping and stacking wood. Then we built another brush pile. This one was more out in the open and it had drizzled a bit that morning so it was kinda wet. So Danny and Kim got the brush pile roaring (took a bit and Danny almost started on fire ;) but it got going!!).<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Se8mCKC7NhI/AAAAAAAAAq0/D4vOKN1RJUA/s1600-h/4-22-09+008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327518702700803602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Se8mCKC7NhI/AAAAAAAAAq0/D4vOKN1RJUA/s320/4-22-09+008.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Se8lpqLuvcI/AAAAAAAAAqs/S6xW7h8S9jY/s1600-h/4-22-09+022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327518281830940098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Se8lpqLuvcI/AAAAAAAAAqs/S6xW7h8S9jY/s320/4-22-09+022.JPG" border="0" /></a> One really strong, brave, amazing woman!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Se8ky_5BGBI/AAAAAAAAAqk/ly9ZI_Iw3hM/s1600-h/4-22-09+025.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327517342765226002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Se8ky_5BGBI/AAAAAAAAAqk/ly9ZI_Iw3hM/s320/4-22-09+025.JPG" border="0" /></a> Jared is seriously the nicest kid!

AGAIN. I start it, get 2-3 minutes into it, and shut it off. I used to LOVE to workout...mostly I loved not being soft...but I loved the workout. I decided today is the day to get started on getting skinny! I started warming up but Andy was here and I cannot work out with him watching so I decided to wait until he left. He left and I started again. But then Ryleigh had to have a nap. So I put her down and started the video. Then I remembered I had to put a load of laundry in the dryer and start another one. I ran down and did that but then the load I pulled out of the dryer to put the other one in had to be folded. I HATE wrinkles so it couldn't wait. I folded them and started again with the video. But then I had ZERO desire to workout with Denise Austin. I can't breathe, it hurts, and I can hear the kids upstairs destroying their rooms. I cannot concentrate and therefore...the video has been shut off again. Maybe I'll try the treadmill...I wish I had a workout partner. Maybe that would make it easier?!?!? Or maybe I just need to get up really early before the kids are up and my mind can be only on working out. Why does losing weight have to be so hard?!?!??! Why did I even let myself get to this point?!?!?!? <br />SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-11535027860306841672009-04-15T16:04:00.000-07:002009-04-15T17:09:59.055-07:00Eric's Birthday!We cannot believe it!! We have a 5 year old!!! How crazy is that?? Eric turned 5 yesterday! He keeps saying that he's not 5 because he isn't bigger. I really think he thought he was going to be all grown up when he turned 5!! He is so funny. We started the day by having his birthday breakfast request...french toast. (Andrea, I've been so hungry for that since church on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Sunday</span>! Smelled so yummy!) Then we just kinda hung out at home. Had his birthday lunch request...Mac and Cheese and baked beans! Then we got ready and went to buy balloons. He HAD to have balloons! He really wanted to have a party with friends and family but didn't tell me that until the day of so...maybe next year! He wanted to go to the playground and play and then out to eat so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">that's</span> how we celebrated. We came back and had cake and opened presents. I think we all had fun and he was so excited with his Lincoln Logs he got and water balloons! He also loves his <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Frisbee</span> but that needs to be a park thing I think! I had to run all the way down the block to retrieve it today. He threw it and then it rolled and rolled and rolled and kept on rolling down the street! WHEW! Gave mommy a good workout!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZwPDIJ5GI/AAAAAAAAApk/f1gWuQ_TR0Y/s1600-h/4-14-09+155.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325067013252047970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZwPDIJ5GI/AAAAAAAAApk/f1gWuQ_TR0Y/s320/4-14-09+155.JPG" border="0" /></a> Castle Playground<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZv1gSSyGI/AAAAAAAAApc/6M8Jll44UC8/s1600-h/4-14-09+163.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325066574402603106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZv1gSSyGI/AAAAAAAAApc/6M8Jll44UC8/s320/4-14-09+163.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Ryleigh</span> watching everyone else play<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZva4DoZzI/AAAAAAAAApU/BbwktIwMNVg/s1600-h/4-14-09+184.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325066116927088434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZva4DoZzI/AAAAAAAAApU/BbwktIwMNVg/s320/4-14-09+184.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZvDs7AwuI/AAAAAAAAApM/FVEnhYGEAWg/s1600-h/4-14-09+183.JPG"></a> <br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZupO7PCTI/AAAAAAAAApE/lmfBUsXGq5M/s1600-h/4-14-09+182.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325065264072427826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZupO7PCTI/AAAAAAAAApE/lmfBUsXGq5M/s320/4-14-09+182.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZuLsPiHyI/AAAAAAAAAo8/NnDDeKtAKTY/s1600-h/4-14-09+181.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325064756546117410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZuLsPiHyI/AAAAAAAAAo8/NnDDeKtAKTY/s320/4-14-09+181.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Lovin</span> it up for the camera!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZtzO3klWI/AAAAAAAAAo0/6bVRuZjxRL4/s1600-h/4-14-09+180.JPG"></a> <br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZs-NL58VI/AAAAAAAAAos/bXGVLUawuvs/s1600-h/4-14-09+134.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325063425359475026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SeZs-NL58VI/AAAAAAAAAos/bXGVLUawuvs/s320/4-14-09+134.JPG" border="0" /></a> Such a fun playground.

We went to Danny and Andrea's for a nice long weekend! I'm bummed I didn't take more pictures of our weekend. The kids had so much fun roaming Danny and Andrea's LARGE house, their LARGE backyard and playing at the playground right across the street from their house! We spent a lot of time at Andrea's parents house and had a blast there!! They also have LARGE everything!! So the kids had so much fun!! Andrea's parents were so kind and good to us and our kids! Made us feel right at home. Alex just fell in love with her Dad, Doug. He was so super to her! She is usually so so so shy but made best friends with him instantly. These pictures are mostly of Easter morning.

Danny, Andrea and Mya</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>So funny story: We went to Andrea's church on Sunday. In our church they pass around bread and water in what we call Sacrament, each of us partaking of it. So we are sitting in her church and they have a collection plate type of thing going around. It passes across Eric to me and I pass it off...Eric calls out (not super loudly but loud enough that me and anyone close by could hear) "Hey! I didn't get some of that!!" What was the plan Eric?? Help ourselves to money?!? Wouldn't that be nice?!?!?! :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-26173266584592762602009-04-09T21:06:00.000-07:002009-04-09T22:36:51.647-07:00One CLASSY Family!!I'm sure our neighbors think we are rednecks as my children feel the need to escape outside without my knowledge every once in a while now that its getting nicer outside. Nicer, not WARM...just a bit nicer than it has been. Alex can be found outside coatless, pantless and shoeless all at the same time and I just caught Eric yesterday taking his shirt off as if it were 90 degrees outside! We still have snow on the ground!!<br /> So here are some pictures to show how truly classy we are!!<br /><br /> What on earth happened?? Was he burping Ryleigh and she got him good??<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sd7N-XapgTI/AAAAAAAAAlw/BK4mBU5E21o/s1600-h/4-9-09+007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322918280919875890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sd7N-XapgTI/AAAAAAAAAlw/BK4mBU5E21o/s320/4-9-09+007.JPG" border="0" /></a> Haha no, that's not what happened at all! I was being very immature...getting lots of laughs from the kids... copying everything he said one night while I was feeding Ryleigh her cereal. I was sitting on our exercise ball (the only action that thing sees!!) feeding her and Andy was sitting on the floor. He thought a good retaliation would be to kick the ball out from under me. I went flying to the floor, landed on my butt and HE ENDED UP WEARING THE CEREAL!! haha Joke is on HIM!! I got a tiny little bit on me but as you can see it mostly landed on him! Funniest thing ever!!<br /> Poor ball! That's about how much landed on me too!!<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sd7NjwEDFHI/AAAAAAAAAlo/8oLhwDltrkk/s1600-h/4-9-09+004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322917823679501426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sd7NjwEDFHI/AAAAAAAAAlo/8oLhwDltrkk/s320/4-9-09+004.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /> Maybe it's time to take 'em to dat der dentist??<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sd7MESa-KvI/AAAAAAAAAlc/ICcyixTWkKI/s1600-h/4-9-09+009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322916183635012338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sd7MESa-KvI/AAAAAAAAAlc/ICcyixTWkKI/s320/4-9-09+009.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><div>THIS NEXT ONE IS FOR MY SISTER LISA!!

See the scared look on the pink ones face? I was eyeing him next!! Eric even tried eating one!! He feels pretty left out that he never gets to eat eggs so I let him try some. His eyes didn't swell shut!! He didn't have a reaction at all!! (He didn't have the yolks though. So...hard to tell...maybe they were just cooked long enough??)<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sd7J97npx8I/AAAAAAAAAks/AXL1xWC9Ox0/s1600-h/4-9-09+086.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322913875411716034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sd7J97npx8I/AAAAAAAAAks/AXL1xWC9Ox0/s320/4-9-09+086.JPG" border="0" /></a> Watch out little pink one...breakfast is coming soon!</div><div> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-73105266440864135292009-04-07T08:33:00.000-07:002009-04-07T09:04:03.708-07:00The Journey To The Ocean Has begun...<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sdt5VB-oHeI/AAAAAAAAAkk/hKvkF2Hm3oY/s1600-h/3-30-09+014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321980786883698146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sdt5VB-oHeI/AAAAAAAAAkk/hKvkF2Hm3oY/s320/3-30-09+014.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Well...the dreaded day came sooner than we expected...</div><br /><div>We had to send Tank Marlin (Eric's fish) down the toilet so he can swim in the river and eventually ~hopefully~ he'll find the ocean. Eric was pretty bummed but he said his goodbye and wanted to flush him himself. He was very brave... but then got pretty sad that he flushed his fish down the toilet. ...Then he went back to watching his movie! He got over it pretty quickly!! I'm glad its a pet he wasn't able to hold and love so he didn't get too attached. He wants a new one so we'll get probably keep up with this fish thing. Hopefully they don't all die that fast though! That could get to be a real waste of money! His fish was always funny acting so I don't know if it had something wrong with it to begin with?? I would put the food in there and it wouldn't eat...the other one gobbles his up no problem and is a fun active fish. Eric's was mellow and I don't know...just kinda funny acting??? How are fish supposed to act though?!?!?!? His was just different than Alex's. I'm kinda glad it happened to Eric's first...that way if (when) it happens to Alex's she knows that its ok. I think she would have been a lot more sad had hers died first. Now she saw that Eric didn't cry and that fish like to swim to the ocean! I don't think I could handle it if they started crying. That would break my heart!! I remember my mom crying with us when our pets died. We would get so attached to animals and then cry and cry and cry when they died. I don't think my mom would've ever cried because a calf or chicken or especially a stray cat died but I always knew she was crying because we were so sad!!...she was such a good mom! (still is!!)</div><br /><div>Have a good swim Tank Marlin!!</div><br /><div></div>Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-81827207726453564332009-04-06T15:33:00.000-07:002009-04-06T16:16:23.098-07:00I need a break from cleaning house. I've been working on this house ALL day and am exhausted. I'm just going to blog about nothing interesting to anyone reading this. This is just me wasting time!<br /> With watching General Conference in the comfort of our home yesterday I didn't feel the need to get all prettied up...<em>I didn't shower</em>. And last week I tore the bedrooms apart switching them all around but never completely finished the project so that's what I've spent all day today doing. I didn't take the time to get all prettied up just to get all sweaty and gross...<em>I didn't shower</em>. Now I'm still going through puberty so if I don't shower EVERY day I look like I haven't showered in a month. LOVE PUBERTY!! So I'm lookin real HOT right now!! With my big project today of finishing the switching of 3 bedrooms (clothes, books, toys, beds etc...) and rearranging the living room our house looks like it got hit by a tornado. The first tornado (me) hit the house pretty hard doing lots of damage. But then 2 more little tornado's (Eric and Alex) followed behind the first one and hit over and over again the damage made by the first one. Seriously, it's like they've never seen their toys before! I'm so frustrated at making ZERO progress with these little angels following behind me making mess after mess. So I asked Andy to take them out. He's taking them shopping and out to eat. (I'm fine that they are being rewarded for being so naughty...as long as they are out of my hair for a little bit!) And so here I sit on the computer while I could be using this time to finish up. I should shower...I feel so gross. But I have way too much left to do. Showering now would be pointless. I have a feeling this project might take all week. We'll just call it spring cleaning. I'll definitely have to shower before tomorrow... someone is bound to come knocking on my door and I wouldn't want to start rumors of me being on my death bed. (Yes, I look that awful!) And I'm sure I'll end up having to go out of this house at some point! Some days I just don't love being a girl... Guys can put on a hat and it's all good.<br />Eric said the funniest thing to me before they left. Maybe I just thought it was funny because I'm so tired??<br />He was getting ready to go and kept asking where they were going and Andy wouldn't tell him. He was guessing with me and I wouldn't tell him so then we were upstairs and I noticed he was wearing this ugly blue necklace he got at a parade last summer.<br /><br />Me: Eric take that necklace off. You can't go out in public wearing that thing.<br /><br />Eric: OH!! THAT'S where we're going! - IN PUBLIC!! DADDY! I KNOW WHERE WE ARE GOING!!! -IN PUBLIC!!!!<br /><br />Smart little guy! I wish I were 5 again! Life is so simple!<br /><br />....BLAH....BACK TO WORK....Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-23238024257276788812009-04-02T09:19:00.000-07:002009-04-02T10:20:48.623-07:00The Attack of Ryleigh Girl!!I've always known Ryleigh is a long baby (maybe because they tell us at each of her checkups that she is off the charts) but I REALLY noticed it the other morning when the kids wanted to hold her. I'm kinda sad at how big she is already. She's moving all over the place, eating cereal and holding her own bottle. She just seems so much bigger than the other kids did at 6 months. Seeing how big she is while the kids were holding her made me want to compare them all. So they all got down next to each other on the floor and I measured them. Eric is 3 ft 8 inches (44 lbs), Alex is 3 ft 1 inch (30 lbs), and Ryleigh is 2 ft 4 inches (14 lbs 12 oz). Then I put their info into this chart on the computer to see where they are compared to other kids. Percentile- Eric is 72nd for weight and 71st for height. Alex is 49th in weight and 59th in height. And Ryleigh is 9th for weight and greater than 97th for height. HOLY CRUD! She IS long!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTqX-_VXxI/AAAAAAAAAkU/69WH-6B1xSI/s1600-h/3-31-09+004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320134757597929234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTqX-_VXxI/AAAAAAAAAkU/69WH-6B1xSI/s320/3-31-09+004.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTqIMoI3DI/AAAAAAAAAkM/9Iog6ABdi7Q/s1600-h/3-31-09+007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320134486380829746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTqIMoI3DI/AAAAAAAAAkM/9Iog6ABdi7Q/s320/3-31-09+007.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTp5R3200I/AAAAAAAAAkE/lUEJQzo7lsE/s1600-h/3-31-09+009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320134230090896194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTp5R3200I/AAAAAAAAAkE/lUEJQzo7lsE/s320/3-31-09+009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTpiyumXDI/AAAAAAAAAj8/ZmrkPytEV5Q/s1600-h/3-31-09+011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320133843773447218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTpiyumXDI/AAAAAAAAAj8/ZmrkPytEV5Q/s320/3-31-09+011.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Ryleigh can't be next to the kids without attacking them! If they are on the floor she is doing everything in her power to get them. She especially loves picking on Eric...I think because he is so sweet and easy going with her. Alex tends to get mad. :) If he is sitting next us on the couch she reaches trying to get him...usually his ears or hair! We went to a movie last night and with the theatre being so dark I don't think she even knew he was there. But then Andy handed her to me and Eric was sitting next to me. Once she spotted him I knew she had! She got all excited kicking her legs and then practically lunges her body towards him reaching for his hair. It was so funny! She just adores him! I couldn't get her to leave Eric alone so I could measure him... I ended up measuring him standing up!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTpTqvwROI/AAAAAAAAAj0/lVjstOGOE20/s1600-h/3-31-09+024.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320133583932769506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTpTqvwROI/AAAAAAAAAj0/lVjstOGOE20/s320/3-31-09+024.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTpA6oB2nI/AAAAAAAAAjs/SPnyZ0L7HNQ/s1600-h/3-31-09+027.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320133261777820274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTpA6oB2nI/AAAAAAAAAjs/SPnyZ0L7HNQ/s320/3-31-09+027.JPG" border="0" /></a> See how she uses her legs to attack him?!?!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTop29q3xI/AAAAAAAAAjk/9wfGKZHoW1g/s1600-h/3-31-09+028.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320132865657855762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTop29q3xI/AAAAAAAAAjk/9wfGKZHoW1g/s320/3-31-09+028.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdToVhtKPzI/AAAAAAAAAjc/mfue4UArwIY/s1600-h/3-31-09+030.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320132516354080562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdToVhtKPzI/AAAAAAAAAjc/mfue4UArwIY/s320/3-31-09+030.JPG" border="0" /></a> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> "Lets see how Alex will react if I attack her!!!"<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTn1KVCJgI/AAAAAAAAAjU/WaHp6HrTo3A/s1600-h/3-31-09+036.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320131960323057154" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdTn1KVCJgI/AAAAAAAAAjU/WaHp6HrTo3A/s320/3-31-09+036.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-2801174370635663372009-03-30T08:40:00.000-07:002009-03-30T11:38:11.827-07:00Two Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDukCMrFpI/AAAAAAAAAjM/BIfrVJBBZiY/s1600-h/3-27-09+043.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319013462757283474" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDukCMrFpI/AAAAAAAAAjM/BIfrVJBBZiY/s320/3-27-09+043.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDuLqNUkyI/AAAAAAAAAjE/8GogDXWTVko/s1600-h/3-27-09+042.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319013044000690978" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDuLqNUkyI/AAAAAAAAAjE/8GogDXWTVko/s320/3-27-09+042.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDtwPthepI/AAAAAAAAAi8/iS2zu9DmjRE/s1600-h/3-27-09+040.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319012573031529106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDtwPthepI/AAAAAAAAAi8/iS2zu9DmjRE/s320/3-27-09+040.JPG" border="0" /></a> The above pictures are from the other day. Yes, the "dress" Alex is wearing is my tank top. She insisted that it was her dress. The look on Eric's face when he is laying on the bed shows what I miss about being a kid. Its just so much fun jumping and being wild and free. When is the last time I jumped on a bed?? Way too long ago! (I'd probably break the bed!-Maybe that's why we grow out of jumping on beds!?!?!)</div><div>*UPDATES ON THE KIDS!!*</div><div></div><div>Ryleigh girl is getting so big! She is a very serious girl and doesn't smile as much as the other kids did. I thought it was because she was sick for so long with her cold but I think she is just serious! She does her fair share of smiling though and we take what we can get! The kids love to make her smile and giggle! There is nothing better than all of them giggling together! Everything goes into her mouth and she drools ALL THE TIME but so far no teeth. She loves her cereal and is not a big fan of applesauce (the only fruit we've introduced to her so far). We are slowly starting her on the fruits and vegetables. She rolls from back to belly and belly to back. Can get herself across the room if there is something she wants bad enough! She is still an awesome sleeper!! I love putting her to bed, having time with Andy before we go to bed, and waking up before she wakes up in the morning! It's pretty nice! She is also at the shy...reaching for us when someone else has her...stage. She is so much fun and her personality is really coming out!!<br /><br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDszug6pWI/AAAAAAAAAi0/ReqLDISlEsI/s1600-h/3-27-09+090.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319011533328131426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDszug6pWI/AAAAAAAAAi0/ReqLDISlEsI/s320/3-27-09+090.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDr8J3iF_I/AAAAAAAAAis/ta1zpVoDhe0/s1600-h/3-20-09+029.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319010578598074354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDr8J3iF_I/AAAAAAAAAis/ta1zpVoDhe0/s320/3-20-09+029.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Princess Alex! What a doll! I cannot believe how big she is getting!! She is always telling Eric that she loves him which makes him a little squeamish but she usually doesn't care! Sometimes she insists that he tell her that he loves her too!(When he thinks its just the two of them he doesn't hesitate to say it back. SUCH A BOY!) The two of them have so much fun together!! She knows how to get her way...especially with her daddy! She flashes those baby blue eyes and pouts her lips...NO JOKE!...he falls for it every time! (I am also guilty of giving in but I am better at standing my ground!) She still loves her dresses and makeup and jewelery. There are days you MUST call her Princess Alex or she'll just keep saying, "NO, I'm PRINCESS Alex"! But she is our princess and she is very much adored by all of us!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDp9f7jE7I/AAAAAAAAAik/lYyUwUNy23k/s1600-h/3-27-09+054.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319008402677109682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDp9f7jE7I/AAAAAAAAAik/lYyUwUNy23k/s320/3-27-09+054.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDprD4xboI/AAAAAAAAAic/ON4MNHs_w0k/s1600-h/3-27-09+055.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319008085911629442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDprD4xboI/AAAAAAAAAic/ON4MNHs_w0k/s320/3-27-09+055.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here is our Tom Cruise! Eric was trying on his new church outfit but the pants didn't fit so he just had the shirt on. It was pretty cute with his little legs!! We've been going through a "fun" little something with him. I don't know if you'd call it a stage or just "itstimeforsummersowecanplayoutside-itis"...I'm ready for summer so I can send them outside! He is still sweet and my big helper but the arguing...begging...jumping from EVERYTHING HE CAN CLIMB...making his sister yell...stuff is getting frustrating! But I'm SO not ready to send him off to Kindergarten and push the thought of it to the back of my mind as quickly as possible! It's not fun to think about! I'll miss him so much! I think its a bum deal that he has to go all day everyday. What happened to every other day like when we were kids?? (tears!!)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDouGfZCgI/AAAAAAAAAiU/ZxT1W4oDJHQ/s1600-h/3-30-09+024.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319007038638459394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDouGfZCgI/AAAAAAAAAiU/ZxT1W4oDJHQ/s320/3-30-09+024.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDoQvBEawI/AAAAAAAAAiM/5H-05VeoMdY/s1600-h/tom-cruise-risky-business-guitar-hero-bob-seger-underwear-a-rod-kobe-hawk-phelps.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319006534121057026" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 242px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDoQvBEawI/AAAAAAAAAiM/5H-05VeoMdY/s320/tom-cruise-risky-business-guitar-hero-bob-seger-underwear-a-rod-kobe-hawk-phelps.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SdDoFM6CqQI/AAAAAAAAAiE/DpkdUyPcM-Q/s1600-h/tom-cruise-risky-business-guitar-hero-bob-seger-underwear-a-rod-kobe-hawk-phelps.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We are looking for a new car...not fun! I'm so tired of looking at cars and mileage and years and all that stuff. BLAH! We both REALLY REALLY love one that we drove though! It might not be the BEST buy but we love it! It's an 04 Mitsubishi Galant (sp??). It has 60,000 miles on it and they want $11,xxx but went down a bit. Its pricey for the year and mileage and there isn't a garage here that can fix them that we know of but if we can get them to go down more we might buy it! It has lots of power and is super fun to drive! Plus it would fit all of the kids in the back if we needed and its <em>pretty</em>! We'll see...<br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-10728859115110923332009-03-27T12:31:00.001-07:002009-03-27T14:42:50.996-07:00Newest Additions To Our Family!There is one thing that me and Andy completely and entirely agree on...we ARE NOT pet people. We both like animals and would love to someday have a dog but right now living in town we don't feel its fair to the dog. That and its not another responsibility either one of us want. Neither of us like rodents (rats, mice, gerbils etc...) and we are allergic to and strongly dislike cats. But we've felt like its not fair to the kids to not have pets. When I was growing up we always had some sort of pet...dogs, wounded pigeons, stray cats and kittens, chickens, calves, cows that were once bottle fed calves...whatever you can find out in the country. So since every kid needs some sort of pet we are trying FISH. I explained to the kids that fish are sensitive little creatures and that some day we might have to flush them down the toilet so they can go to the river which will bring them back to the ocean (THANK YOU FINDING NEMO FOR THE EASY WAY TO SAY GOODBYE!). So meet Eric's fish, Tank Marlin (Tank is the first name, Marlin the last name) and Alex's fish, Nemo.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sc0qyccrKPI/AAAAAAAAAh0/Jqcg3aacb1w/s1600-h/3-27-09+127.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317953781112711410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sc0qyccrKPI/AAAAAAAAAh0/Jqcg3aacb1w/s320/3-27-09+127.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sc0qViMBvbI/AAAAAAAAAhs/NlTpNAbM-jc/s1600-h/3-27-09+133.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317953284437294514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/Sc0qViMBvbI/AAAAAAAAAhs/NlTpNAbM-jc/s320/3-27-09+133.JPG" border="0" /></a> Yes, we are very creative in picking out names! How do you change the minds of a 2 and 4 year old after they are already made up?? They love watching their fish and are very excited when its time to feed them! I think we made a wise decision going with fish for pets. They are pretty easy to take care of! I just hope neither of them go belly up any time soon!<br /><br /><div></div></div>Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-52267210460971239122009-03-26T11:40:00.000-07:002009-03-26T12:04:03.408-07:00All grown up...The kids were practicing their ABC's and counting today while I was fixing lunch. Alex isn't so great at the ABC's so Eric was helping her. He'd say the letter and she'd repeat it.<br /><br />My conversation with Eric after they got done with the alphabet:<br /><br />Me: You guys are so smart! That's so nice of you to help Alex. You can teach her all the things that you learn.<br /><br />Eric: Yeah, I have lots of people who teach me things. My teachers at church Sister Strege and Sister Jensen, my speech teacher, you and daddy, and my teacher at school.<br /><br />Me: Eric you don't have a teacher at school because you haven't started Kindergarten yet.<br /><br />Eric: Yeah, but when I get all grown up and turn 5 I will!<br /><br />TOO CUTE!! Its SO funny to me that he thinks 5 is all grown up! I'm 26 and there are days <em>I</em> don't feel "all grown up"!! I love being a mommy and hearing the things my kids say and learning the way their little minds think!!Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-81183463129302669792009-03-19T09:14:00.001-07:002009-03-19T09:40:25.821-07:00GETTING SO BIG!!It's been a while so just wanted to post some pictures of the kids. They are growing up way too fast. Tuesday night we took Eric to Kindergarten Round-Up...can't believe he will be starting school this fall. :( We think he really enjoyed it and will love school! He especially loved riding on the school bus! ...Still has the same smell as when we were kids!<br />Both Eric and Ryleigh have a pretty bad cold so they look extra cute in these pictures! You can see around Eric's nose and cheeks that he has a cold! And Ryleigh just snots everywhere! She is always blowing bubbles out of her nose! She drools A LOT too! We don't know if she's teething or if its part of the cold??? She sure is cranky...but she's had this cold for well over a month now and we are considering taking her in for the 3rd time. They just keep telling us it takes babies a while to get rid of colds but this is a nasty one and she is miserable. (The original cold was going away but is back and really nasty.)<br />Anyway...Enjoy the many many pics.!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJyLNH7aRI/AAAAAAAAAhk/v6F5GJpJbYs/s1600-h/3-19-09+008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314936047077648658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJyLNH7aRI/AAAAAAAAAhk/v6F5GJpJbYs/s320/3-19-09+008.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJx89qTBpI/AAAAAAAAAhc/JOE9gJZwryo/s1600-h/3-19-09+011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314935802408666770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJx89qTBpI/AAAAAAAAAhc/JOE9gJZwryo/s320/3-19-09+011.JPG" border="0" /></a> She really loves Eric and Alex!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJxtSzVwTI/AAAAAAAAAhU/0dUaLIL0OwA/s1600-h/3-19-09+013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314935533205831986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJxtSzVwTI/AAAAAAAAAhU/0dUaLIL0OwA/s320/3-19-09+013.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJxXR-qiSI/AAAAAAAAAhM/pXKVhupzH7k/s1600-h/3-19-09+016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314935155027773730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJxXR-qiSI/AAAAAAAAAhM/pXKVhupzH7k/s320/3-19-09+016.JPG" border="0" /></a> I can't believe she is getting so big!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJxHQWBN1I/AAAAAAAAAhE/XIJm6SGZvLg/s1600-h/3-19-09+018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314934879710951250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJxHQWBN1I/AAAAAAAAAhE/XIJm6SGZvLg/s320/3-19-09+018.JPG" border="0" /></a> She wears these cute little outfits almost everyday!<br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJw2HMX1WI/AAAAAAAAAg8/c2S3I8Xu6TM/s1600-h/3-19-09+021.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314934585196795234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJw2HMX1WI/AAAAAAAAAg8/c2S3I8Xu6TM/s320/3-19-09+021.JPG" border="0" /></a> He posed this way...guess its his "stud" look??<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJwoHushWI/AAAAAAAAAg0/6xkAO-S2pdc/s1600-h/3-19-09+039.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314934344822588770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJwoHushWI/AAAAAAAAAg0/6xkAO-S2pdc/s320/3-19-09+039.JPG" border="0" /></a> SO BIG!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJwYxkwkPI/AAAAAAAAAgs/sOw1iuIf5xM/s1600-h/3-19-09+043.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314934081177293042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJwYxkwkPI/AAAAAAAAAgs/sOw1iuIf5xM/s320/3-19-09+043.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJwGgP9ilI/AAAAAAAAAgk/Xe6qzs3N9mc/s1600-h/3-19-09+044.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314933767289014866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/ScJwGgP9ilI/AAAAAAAAAgk/Xe6qzs3N9mc/s320/3-19-09+044.JPG" border="0" /></a> Loves her "chew toys"!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-81779460748739446532009-02-03T19:36:00.001-08:002009-02-03T20:40:33.885-08:00Happy Birthday Andy!!So here are a million pictures of Andy's big day!!

Sorry for the big gaps between each picture. </div><div>I hope Andy had a good Birthday?!?!? We had fun blowing up the balloons and wrapping presents. It was fun to surprise Daddy! I don't know what happened with his surprise dinner. He said the Gyros were good but was he just trying to make me feel better?? I got really sick (head between my knees sick to my stomach) while cooking the meat. It just didn't agree with me I guess...so I didn't get to eat it. We've had so much fun tonight playing the American Idol Wii game. Andy has a very good voice!! Me...not so much!! But its a blast!!</div><div>HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-74594933111461561982009-01-13T09:26:00.000-08:002009-01-13T11:50:35.849-08:00Holy long post!So here is another long post since I don't blog very often.<br />These first pictures are from my parents house Christmas Eve. They started a tradition of a pie eating contest each year. Since Andy isn't a fan of chocolate pie I was the one who did it for our family. I USED to love chocolate pie...not so much anymore!!<br /><br />My oldest brother started off by shoving my face into the pie! I had chocolate pudding up my nose...GROSS!!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWzbJltwTlI/AAAAAAAAAec/7nZy_2On4cs/s1600-h/dec+24,2008+066.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290844620042817106" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWzbJltwTlI/AAAAAAAAAec/7nZy_2On4cs/s320/dec+24,2008+066.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWzaxGdZNyI/AAAAAAAAAeU/oCM2rkDBw7E/s1600-h/dec+24,2008+067.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290844199335835426" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWzaxGdZNyI/AAAAAAAAAeU/oCM2rkDBw7E/s320/dec+24,2008+067.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This brother thought he was going to win.

(I was cheating but he was winning!! I had no other choice!) He almost puked when I did that!!<br /><br />Compared to my face I don't think Lisa tried very hard to win!!<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWzZkfELv4I/AAAAAAAAAd8/TPlDxadtnlY/s1600-h/dec+24,2008+079.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290842883091054466" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWzZkfELv4I/AAAAAAAAAd8/TPlDxadtnlY/s320/dec+24,2008+079.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I took 3rd place! I was giggling so hard I had no chance of winning! My brother in law that I shared my pie with won 1st place and my cousin took 2nd...neither one of them laughed throughout the whole thing! Took winning very seriously I guess! :)<br /><br /><br />My BEAUTIFUL Lisa!!

While the kids were eating breakfast I put her on the floor for a few minutes and noticed she kept laying on her side. So I thought I should snap a picture for Andy because it's a first for her and its exciting!! Then this is what she did!! I was so glad I had the camera in my hand so Andy can see it happen too!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIxRiBML2I/AAAAAAAAAc0/8_ug3lAJN30/s1600-h/1-5-09+047.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287843089745719138" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIxRiBML2I/AAAAAAAAAc0/8_ug3lAJN30/s320/1-5-09+047.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIxDb2yp_I/AAAAAAAAAcs/NbI-PFVFZC0/s1600-h/1-5-09+048.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287842847573321714" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIxDb2yp_I/AAAAAAAAAcs/NbI-PFVFZC0/s320/1-5-09+048.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIwX1Gd2SI/AAAAAAAAAck/735yc1ffbxU/s1600-h/1-5-09+049.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287842098435709218" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIwX1Gd2SI/AAAAAAAAAck/735yc1ffbxU/s320/1-5-09+049.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIv8hXk77I/AAAAAAAAAcc/vEZ5Ek8pO2M/s1600-h/1-5-09+050.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287841629282299826" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIv8hXk77I/AAAAAAAAAcc/vEZ5Ek8pO2M/s320/1-5-09+050.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIvkKjm4NI/AAAAAAAAAcU/MVyrpHigHE4/s1600-h/1-5-09+051.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287841210841882834" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIvkKjm4NI/AAAAAAAAAcU/MVyrpHigHE4/s320/1-5-09+051.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIvGepCSeI/AAAAAAAAAcM/iYSn4m5nst8/s1600-h/1-5-09+054.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287840700837284322" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SWIvGepCSeI/AAAAAAAAAcM/iYSn4m5nst8/s320/1-5-09+054.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I think she was pretty surprised that she ROLLED OVER but then was pretty pleased with herself!!

I can share the "Christmas picture" ones with you because Andy didn't like their outfits so we aren't using them for our Christmas cards. I thought the kids looked adorable but he said Alex's dress looked like something his sisters would have worn when they were little and I don't think he liked Ryleigh's either! OH-WELL!! We redid the pictures this morning and he is right, they do look better in matching jeans and shirts he went out and bought them last night! I'm just glad for his help in it this year!!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SUF9mbk0x9I/AAAAAAAAAcE/w8mGLyQbaxs/s1600-h/12-8-08+190.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278638337445644242" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SUF9mbk0x9I/AAAAAAAAAcE/w8mGLyQbaxs/s320/12-8-08+190.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SUF9cn5JvaI/AAAAAAAAAb8/JU1QbQA1w10/s1600-h/12-8-08+161.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278638168953437602" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3qrqICCdiEM/SUF9cn5JvaI/AAAAAAAAAb8/JU1QbQA1w10/s320/12-8-08+161.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Looks like Eric has a little surprise in his nose!

Myspace just isn't for me anymore and I'm not really into doing Facebook. This blogging is pretty fun so here we go again! I'll just ignore any comments I don't care for!! :)<br />Hey if you want a card from us I need your address PLEASE!!! Thanks!!<br />I will post pictures in a while...Andy should be home for lunch soon so I'll post them when he goes back to work!! ...As long as the kids cooperate!! :)Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-81823683798962630142008-11-20T12:48:00.001-08:002008-11-20T12:57:11.276-08:00Farewell...for now...This is my last post for a while. Andy may choose to post something...who knows...but I will not be doing this anymore. At least for a while. I think I take things the wrong way when people comment on my posts. And maybe people misunderstand the things I say in them?? I just think this will help me to not have hurt feelings anymore. I am not upset with anyone who has commented on my posts...this is just what is for the best for now. :)Klous Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07120270298368573687noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1099475828005307516.post-8393842490252775282008-11-20T09:02:00.000-08:002008-11-20T09:09:06.503-08:00OH MY GOOD HECK!!!HOW ON EARTH AM I GOING TO GET THIS WEIGHT OFF???<br />I so badly HATE working out!!!!!!!!!! I just tried to do TAE BO...GRRROOOSSS!!! It KICKED MY BUTT!! I couldn't even finish the video!!!<br />I know I know...it will get better if I keep at it. It just sucks!! Me and Andy have decided to hang up posters in the basement of HUNKS and BABES for motivation. We both feel like puking by the time we get off the treadmill and neither of us do much more than a mile!<br />One more thing...my elbows hurt really bad now that I did that TAE BO video.
