Tulip Farms 2010

We had so much fun going up to Skagit Valley on Saturday. The weather was gorgeous and the fields were in full bloom. We headed up there with four of my internet friends aka: some of the best girlfriends you could ever ask for! Hailey loved the puddles! I guess I have never let her have a free for all in a puddle of muddy water. It made her day! After looking back at these pictures is showed me how fast my girls are growing up. Kiah has turned from a beautiful little girl into a gorgeous young lady! I am so blessed to call these two girls my daughters! Love you both more than you will ever know.

How stinking Cute is she?????

Regional Swim Championship 2010 Boise Idaho!

 

March 5,6, and 7th we were in Boise Id for Kiah’s regional swim championship! We picked up Jaedyn in Walla Walla on the way! It was SO great to have her for a weekend! Kiah did extremely well! She got 1st in two of her heats even. She ended up taking 3rd place in her 25 butterfly, 6th in her 25 freestyle, 6th in her 25 breast, 6th in her 50 butterfly, 7th in her 50 freestyle. She got DQ in her last race of the championship on her 25 yard backstroke. :( She would have placed 2nd if she would not have made a VERY minor mistake. We all learn the hard way!!! I am so proud of her she took for 3-4 seconds on everyone of her events! She even qualified in time for 10 year old events for next year. (Pray that regional's are in Federal Way!) Here are a few pictures of her from her event. Pictures are really hard to take in there due to the flags being in the way!

There were 497 kids there from WA, OR, ID, MT and Alaska even! We had to be up at 5:30 (4:30 are time) exhausting! Ask Jaedyn! Great work all year Kiah!

I said we were going to be healthy this year :(

Hailey has been one sick baby for the last few months. She had a cold and it got worse and worse and turned in to RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) . There was not any meds they could give her to make it better since she still has her heart murmur from birth. So she waited it out. They did give her steroids to strengthen her lungs so that she would not get pneumonia. They also treated her for her 9th ear infection. We thought she was getting better and it took a turn for the worst! I took her in right away and they admitted us into Children’s hospital with pneumonia! That was so scary. I did remind myself that I needed to be thankful that it was not something worse like some of the other kids that were there for cancer and things. So sad!  Here is a picture of the poor Boo!

Cont. BUSY!

We celebrated Kiah’s birthday late since we have had NO time! She had  “Taylor Swift  back stage party”. Not really but we like to pretend.  We rented a hotel room (Thanks to Miss. Amy)! Had 9 girls over for a sleep over, ate pizza, LOTS OF PIZZA! Man I never knew how much 8 year olds can eat!  They got to swim, make “Love Story Lip Gloss or Lotion, they made Taylor Swift book marks. They even rocked out to Taylor Swift on the karaoke machine! They walked down the red carpet and had interviews and pictures taking like the starts! It was a ton of fun for the girls but man was I tired! Thank You Heidi soooo much for helping me manage 9 little hormonal girls!

Note to self: DO NOT HAVE SLEEP OVERS WHEN THEY ARE 14!!!!!

Wow we have been busy!

I was able to help take care of my twin niece and nephew at the beginning of March. Mom and Dad got to go on a relaxing cruise! Ok Justin got to go on a relaxing cruise. Dawn was motion sick, home sick, missing her baby sick oh and I think she missed me SICK!  It was so nice to be able to spend some time with the babes. That does not happen to often since they live in Oregon. I got to do the fun stuff like take them to the park, children’s museum lots and lots and lots of walks!
