Kaylie's First Swim

 On the way to Green Canyon

Matt got some passes to Green Canyon from someone at school.  So we went there on Saturday.  Rylee and Ashlyn were so excited, of course.  They LOVE to swim!  And Kaylie also went in the warm pool.  She was pretty good unless she got her head wet- face or hair!  She stayed in for quite a while.  I was surprised at how many babies there were- some even younger than Kaylie!  It was my first time there.  Ashlyn pretty much just floated in her life jacket.  Rylee threw the locker key in the water and dived for it most of the time.  It was fun!

 Matt and the big girls were so excited to swim with Kaylie!

And I had Matt take my picture to show that I was there and swam too!

Most of the pictures I took didn't turn out.  But at least I got a few!

Ashlyn was supposed to get a CD of her picture too, but I didn't get it.  

I emailed them about it, so hopefully I get it.  

I will put hers on if I get it. 

 They both turned out pretty good.  

Rylee looks so old though!

3 Months

 Kaylie is 3 months old today!

 Ashlyn (and Rylee too) can always make her smile!

Kaylie is a very good baby.

She used to cry ALL the time she was in her carseat.  She still doesn't like it too much, but she won't cry the whole time anymore.  And she will actually finally sleep in the carseat!  Both Rylee and Ashlyn were the same way.  The car never put them to sleep either.  Crazy kids!

She is starting to grab toys and anything else she can get in her mouth- usually her fists. 

She drools like crazy! 

She still wakes up 2-3 times a night.  But last night she slept a whole five hours in a row!  It was nice.  But then it was two hours after that!  She doesn't want me to get used to sleep, I guess!  But she is actually my best sleeper.  Well, Rylee was pretty good after a while.  Ashlyn was the worst- and still will fight sleep until the bitter end.  She's a night owl like her daddy.  Kaylie will go to bed between 8:30-9:30 so I can't complain about that!  I remember being up until 11 or 12 with the others.

She's such a morning person- she is so happy in the morning (which is more like me).

We all love her like crazy!

The Past Couple of Weeks

 Kaylie has started to grab things!  

I noticed it for the first time when we were in line at the pharmacy at Albertsons two Mondays ago.  She had grabbed the toy hanging from her carseat and was sucking on it.  All three girls had just gone to the doctor.  Rylee and Ashlyn had strep and he thought Kaylie might get it, so he put them all on antibiotics.  Three sick girls is not very fun!  But I guess it's better to get it all over with at once. 

 All ready for Halloween!

 I just had to get a picture of Kaylie in her cute shoes from Aunt Lindsay.  

They looked cute and they even stayed on the whole time at church!  

 I caught Ashlyn in her room playing the piano and singing songs.

Of course she stopped when she saw me though!

 And more pictures of Kaylie- I tried to get some smiles!

 Kaylie has some long hairs at the top of her head 

and then a bunch of fuzz growing by it.  I don't know if you can see it, but I love it!  

 Even though she was sick, she was still smiling!

She is such a good baby!

Dad's Birthday

 My dad's birthday was yesterday.

He had to work until 4 and the priesthood session was at 6, so we didn't have much time.  But it was enough for him to open a few presents and for us to eat cake.  We've  sure been birthday busy this week!  But we love birthdays and it's fun to have so many so close together.

 My siblings and I bought him a shop vac.  

Matt picked it out- so it's a good one. 

 Matt was more excited about it than my Dad!

It came with lots of cool accessories and features

 and Matt made sure to point them all out!

 Kaylie was sleeping in my arms, but she had to be in the picture too.

 Helping Grandpa open presents.

 My mom and I did it again- the exact same card!

We got Rylee the same one too!

I blame it on the fact that cards never change- 

someone needs to come up with new ones! 

We don't have a lot of options!

 Grandma made Grandpa's favorite cake- German chocolate.

I don't usually care for it, but this one was delicious!

And the girls loved it too.

Hope you had a great birthday, Dad!

Sisterly Love

Kaylie's new favorite thing to do is sit on the couch 

and watch TV with her sisters.

And I'm pretty sure they love it too!

I'm the luckiest mom in the whole world!!!

These three girls make me so, so happy!
