~ DiSnEyLaNd 2009 ~

Matt and I took the girls to Disneyland the end of September! We were able to go to Disneyland and California Adventure for 4 days!!! The girls had a ball!!! We was so neat to see them be so excited, and how they would react to each ride! We will for sure being going back soon!

~ Trick-or-Treat ~

~ The House on Halloween Night ~

~ Carving Pumpkins at the Kelly's ~

We have this new awesome tradition where we go over to Mimi's and Bapa's and carve the pumpkins from Bapa's garden, then night before Halloween. It is so much fun, and the girls love it!!! It is for sure something that we look forward to every year.

~ Fun at the Punkinaze ~

Tylin had a field trip with her school to go to the Punkinaze in West Haven. We went through the corn maze, had hot chocolate and donuts, and went down the HUGE slide they had there. Matt took the day off from work so we could go as a family! :) The had a blast!!! Tylin is having so much at her new school, with all of the "totally awesome" activities and fieldtrips! And yes, Tylin was the one to say "totaly awesome"!

~ Tylin's Pumpkin ~

~ Tylin's Autumn Tree ~

Tylin made this at school by tracing her hand and cutting out the "brenches", and using paint for the falling "leabs".

~ Missing You ~

We went to the Hunstville Cemetary to visit Wesley. I can't believe that it has been 25 years! Even though I was only 6 months old when he passed away, I feel like I knew him. My mom always made sure to answer any questions I had about him, and it just always felt like I was able to be close to him through his memories.
As we were leaving, the girls said 'bye....love you Wes', and Addi blew him a kiss and said, "Bye Wes.....I'll see you in the morning."
We love and miss you Wesley!

~ Field Trip To The Dinosaur Park ~

For the month of October Tylin is learning about Dinosaurs, so her teacher arranged a fieldtrip to the Dinosaur Park. Tylin had so much fun hanging out with her class. Addi and I were able to tag along, and enjoy the fun!

~ Tylin's First Day Of Preschool ~

Tylin started her second year of Preschool Sept. 9th! She goes four days a week. She loves it so much!!! On her first day she wanted to wear my heart necklace so she wouldn't be scared starting her new preschool. I just can't believe how fast she is growing up!!! Next year she will start kindergarten. We are so lucky to be able to have the opportunity to enroll her in preschool.
Tylin has been bringing home art work and assignments everyday, so I will be posting some of those as time goes on.

This picture says it all!

~ A Little Put Put Fun ~

Mimi and Bapas took the whole family to Toad's and played some Put Put (Mini Golf), so we all could spend time together as a family before Scott, Jenna, and Olivia moved to Denver. The kids had a blast!! I can't believe that Olivia is walking already!!!
We sure are going to miss Scott, Jenna, and Olivia!!!
~ WE LOVE YOU ~

~ BiG sHoEs 2 FILL ~

Addison LOVES to wear our shoes and walk around the house! So cute!

And of course she found a binki!!!

~ A Camping Update ~

I was over at Paul and Monica's the other night having a family dinner, and Andrea told the BEST story from their camping trip.

She took Tylin to the outhouse to go potty, and when Tylin saw that it was just a big hole she was really worried! She told Annie that she was scared that she would fall in, but Annie assured her that wouldn't happen because she was going to hold on to Ty's arms. Then she said, "I need a bigger bum like you and Mommy, and Daddy."

I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard that! It is SO Tylin!!!!

~ A New Discovery ~

Today we couldn't hear Addison making her usual noise, so Matt called for her. All I heard was, "I goin potty." in her cute little voice. So I ran to the bathroom and sure enough.....there she was on the potty trying to go. She had even put her Dora potty seat up all by herself! Also, do you notice something different about her? She doesn't have a BINKI!!!!!! She finally lost her last one two whole days ago!!!! YAY!!!! We are so excited!!! She is just growing up so fast.

***CAMPING***

Matt took the girls camping to Bridge Lake with his family. They had a blast!!! What an awesome opportunity......Grandpa and Grandma Kelly, Bapas (Paul), Auntie Annie, Uncle Pete, Aunt Jenna and Uncle Scott, were all there to share this with Matt and the girls. They went Thursday Aug 28, and came home on Saturday the 30th.

Another New Member Of The Kelly Family

We just adopted Bijou, an 18 year old Blue and Gold Macaw. She is so much fun!!! She laughes, dances, and talks all the time. She calls all food a cracker, and feels left out if you don't share your "crackers" with her. She loves to be around the family!! Whenever we leave the room she tells us "Bye-Bye", and when we come back she says "Hello".
