Brooklyn, age 4

I feel like I have been posting a lot for Kallie and Blake lately. So I thought I would write a little something about Brooklyn, before I loose my mind and can't remember things. :)

Brooklyn is just a funny/dramatic little girl. She has to wear a dress everyday. She dances, and sings to her favorite songs. (which is a crack up to watch) Plus, she poses for the camera like a champ. (this too is fun when taking pictures) But lately, the best of all..

she has been saying the funniest things.

Like Father Like Son!

I think, I'm in Love!!

Kallie Update

I know, I know. I am the worst blogger ever.

Last you heard was Kallie had not broken anything since that awful downhill bike accident.

But actually, the Dr. Office called like 4 days later. I know, right! Yes, 4 days later, to tell us that they sent her X Ray in for a 2nd opinion at the Radiology Dept at the Hospital. She did in fact brake her arm, not once, but twice! How does a Dr. miss that in an X-ray??

But, I was kinda glad to hear it. Cuz earlier that day, she had been complaining that her arm was hurting her and she couldn't reach the gum in the cabinet. I was getting frustrated thinking she was just being silly. So when the Nurse called it did make since. (Poor Kallie)

So she broke both her Ulna and Radius bones. Luckily, they are just minor fractures but, because it was in both bones, she needed a cast. So she got a Hot Pink cast and was very brave. In fact, she was a little excited about the pink cast thing going on. :)

It has been only 2 weeks and she gets it off tomorrow morning. So not bad, but it is starting to stink. This is her complaining, not me. :)

At the end of the day.

I am tired!
Tired of...

crying
whining
changing diapers
fighting
cooking
cleaning
Doing laundry with a dryer that barely works
budgeting
clipping coupons (new thing)

But...
At the end of the day. There is nothing better than laying down on my bed, just Blake and I, and him looking into my eyes with such love and tenderness. It just melts my heart! Plus, it is so fun to tickle behind his legs!! Smile

Poor Kallie!

Our oldest Kallie(6), has gotten really good at riding her bike. Kallie and her friend Kjell were even riding down the big hill beside our house.

Or so I thought she was getting good...

She soon found out that riding down big hills are danerous!

Kallie had her first really bad CRASH and BURN, down the big hill beside our house. Concrete burns all on her face and arms. Fortunately she didn't break anything or need stitches. But did basically catch the concrete with her face. Ouch!!

POOR KALLIE!! (No more hills for Kallie just straight streets)

(These Pictures are Day 1 and Day 2. Day 2 kinda turned into a black eye)

But the good news is... She is alright and it's healing!!

Grandma and Grandpa Daly's House

Despite all the ER trips and me being sick the whole time. The kids were able to enjoy themselves, play with their cousins, and go to Mission Viejo Lake. Plus, Jim was able to capture some cute pictures of the kids enjoying the sunny warm weather.
