Slobber Face
Jersi is almost 10 months old... She's been a total slobbery mess for about 4 weeks now. But still no sign of any teeth in her mouth. None. Crazy. Howz she supposed to eat solid foods without teeth?? Oh well, her toothless grin is too cute to care.

3 Ponytails
When Kyndi was little, she had tons of hair! I could do all sorts of crazy stuff with it! (Granted it hasn't grown much since then, but still.)
Oaklee, Dayton and Jersi? Not so much.
Oaklee stayed 100 % bald until she was 2 and then suddenly her hair grew and grew and has now outgrown Kyndi's hair by a mile. Dayton stayed bald until he was two and now we can't keep it cut! It grows like crazy!
Enter Jersi, the third bald kid... She's destined to be bald until she's 2 as well... or so we thought... HOWEVER, she suddenly has enough wisps of hair that I managed to put in three ponytails!! Woot!!
Okay so they're each less than an inch long - but it really is saying something that I am able to put three separate ponytails in it! She screams at my ponytail attempts, so that probably won't be happening again for a while...

Jersi's Best Friend
Jersi's best friend??
Her dad (Sugar comes in a close second)
When he lays down on the floor she scrambles to get to him and then just spraw;s out next to him or on top of him. She likes to climb on him too.
The other day she was in her paly-pen and he was saying "Rarr" to her and she'd laugh and laugh - then she quickly stood up and he went right up to her face and said "Rarr" she screamed! It was so funny! She's so cute with him! He's her favorite. Many many times when I am holding her, she'll reach for her daddy. I love it.
(And check out her naked little bum) (and the rolls of chunkiness on her legs...)

Buh - ee
Jersi mimics. I swear when I say "Kyndi" she says "dee-dee" every time. And I swear when I say "Say Hi Dad" she says "I Daa" And the other day she was watching the bunnies and she said "Buh-ee" Two times! I think she talks, she just doesn't realize it yet!!

Co-Co Nuts
Oaklee: Mom! Why do we have all of these Co-co-nuts in the house?
Then later she tells me, Mom, I love peanuts, they taste just like butter!!

Guess What, Guess What?
I got Kamron a wedding present - two tickets to the indoor sky-diving place in OPgden. Holy crumb. This scares me and excited me all at the same time. I know he would love to do the real thing - but I think I may be able to handle this one, and he'll love it. He'll probably especially love my scaredy-cat-ness. Oh I'm way too excited!
I got an awesome deal on groupon, 2 tickets, two shirts and two dvd's of the event for $79. Couldn't pass it up!! They can be used anytime between now and September.... We'll probably go sooner rather than later, so - wish me luck!!

KyndiGarten Graduation
Kyndi has officially graduated Kyndi-garten! They did a cute little program - and as they sang "God Bless the USA" I got all teary-eyed! Sheesh! It was just so cute! And it is bittersweet to see your kids grow up. She's such a good girl. She is a reading level D and got straight E's (Excellents) on her report card.
"The Walk" around the gym
Kyndi's teacher, Mrs. Sitake:
Kyndi's BFF Elizabeth
Dayton n Sugar
Cinnamon is Kyndi's favorite (and I sorta gave her that rabbit...)
Sprinkles is Oaklee's favorite. She's pretty much terrified of all the others. No clue why - she's scared of most things in life... rabbits, dogs, ants... pretty much everything... Sprinkles cla accidentally scratched her today, so she refuses to hold her now too... we'll fix that.
I love Sugar - cuz everytime I go to the cage she gets on her hind legs and looks up at me - while all the others run away and hide. Sprinkles has fantastic eyes - I don't know, I just love them.. Cinnamon has the softeat fur, and Pepper is the smallest and oh so cute. I can't pick a favorite.
Sugar, Cinnamon, Pepper and Sprinkles
Meet Sugar.
I got her for Mother's Day.
Now meet Cinnamon, Pepper and Sprinkles...
I couldn't resist! I wanted a second one, but when I went back they only had one girl (I hafta get all girls so no breeding occurs) - so I bought Cinnamon.
Today I got a phone call from the pet store, she hand picked me two baby girls and she was gonna give me a mega deal on them. I couldn't resist! I just had to have them! No worries, the cage is plenty big enough!!
The first picture is actually Sugar and Cinnamon together. Cinnamon is apprently camera shy as she runs everytime I try to get a picture. Sugar has blue eyes, and Cinnamon has red
Pepper and Sprinkles are the smallest of the 4. Pepper is smaller than Sprinkles. (When I got Cinnamon, Oaklee said "You shoulda named her Sprinkles" - So that's why Sprinkles got her name...) (Dayton calls her "Bink-ohs")
They are so cute! Jersi LOVES them. She tries so hard to hold and pet them, and she babbles a storm at them when ever they're around..
Come and hold them! You'll fall in love with them!!

Pjs and Home Depot
Nothing in life is quite as exciting as going to Home Depot in your PJs! And no, it wasn't any of the kids, it was me! I had just gotten out of the shower, into my pajama pants and t shirt, and snuggled into bed, when Kamron came in and announced we needed to hurry and go to Home Depot to get a tool he needed for work. I was far too tired to change clothes so I just went in my PJs!! I think I was far more embarrassed than Kamron was to be seen with me!

A Thief Among Us
We recently started putting Jersi in her walker... Her toes barely barely touched the ground and she had trouble maneuvering anywhere but backwards... That's what I thought anyways, until the day Dayton apparently left his plate (covered in spagetti sauce), a little too close to the edge of the table...
In the amount of time I walked from the family room to the backyard and told something to the kids, Jersi not only found me, but stole this as well:

This is what happens...
When your kids get ahold of your camera or phone...
They'll be so embarassed when they find out I actually used these pictures!! Ha ha ha ha
(This says Morrissa + Juston Beiber = Love)

"Come to the Bride"
Dayton tells everyone that comes over, that he gets to hold a sign at the wedding that says "Come to the Bride" Oaklee corrects him because she thinks it says "Kiss the Bride"
Math Equations
Dayton has learned a few of his own math equations in the past 5 or 6 days...
Running all over on cement + no shoes = toes and feet that are split and bleeding.
No Shoes + Running over your own foot with the scooter = a very bloody toe
Riding the Skateboard on your bum + putting your hand in the way of the wheel = bloody finger, and lack of a fingernail.
I've learned an equation myself...
Brand new box of bandaids + Dayton = Need a new box of bandaids already.
