Fun day but no camera

Today was fun! At first I didnt think we'd do much at all since yesterday I took Kayli to D.W. But after Laney's nap we headed to see Pappy Cappie and Grandma Joan at their brand new house! They just moved from Phoenixville, PA to Lancaster, PA. Now they are only 10-15 mins away as opposed to 90mins. Kayli and Laney always love seeing them! Pappy Cappie is so funny to them. And they adore grandma Joan. Laney refers to them as, Cap-cappy and Jo. It's so funny to hear her say that the whole way to their house and back.

After we left 'Cap-Cappy and Jo's' we headed to Long's Park. I packed a picnic lunch for them since I knew we would most likely end up at a park. They ate their lunch, well at this point it was dinner... and then played for a while on the different playgrounds there. Kayli is so outgoing and walks around asking random little girls to play w/ her. She is also an awesome big sister because several times I asked her to come help Laney find her way through the big wooden playset and she did every time w/ no fuss. She even wanted to leave her little friends to come play w/ Laney on the smaller playground. She is very protective of her little sister. I am so proud of her for that. What I also love is that no matter where we are or what we are doing, when Kayli meets someone for the first time, she says, "this is my baby sister Laney, my mommy and my daddy, right over there." It is so sweet! She has such a big heart and I am proud to be her (and Laney's) mommma!!!

I wish I would have remembered my camera today! I could have taken tons of good pictures. I am sure we will end up back at that park again soon. The girls loved it!

Tooth Fairy

This morning when I went to get Kayli out of bed she was so excited to tell me this..."mom, look my tooth came out lastnight when I was sleeping. I put it under my pillow and I have been waiting for the tooth fairy to bring me my gold coin but she never came...oh pickles!" I then told her that she has to tell mom and dad first so they can get a hold of T. Fairy and let her know her (Kayli's) sleep schedule. And, get this...Matt and I found a gold dollar in her piggy bank and that is what we are putting under her pillow tonight. How ghetto is that?! Anyway, my sweet little 5 year old lost her first tooth. Therefore, Laney thought she lost a tooth too! :)

Dutch Wonderland

Today, Michelle and I took our big girls, Andrea and Kayli, to Dutch Wonderland. We had a blast! The weather even coperated with us! I am pretty sure we were able to ride all the rides, except the ones that they just didnt want to get on. Michelle had to ride a few of the rides w/ Kayli and Andrea because I can not tolerate 'circle rides'. So, thank you Michelle!!! We didnt make it to Dukes Lagoon. At first we thought it may have been too cool for the water. By the end it was hot and sticky but at that point we just didnt have the time. Either way, it was a great day. I was able to get some pictures. Not all of them turned out too well. Here are the ones I salvaged!

I have a Bible!

Today, Jerusha, my cousins wife. Sent me a Bible for myself. Along with The Jesus Storybook Bible for my girls and a wonderful CD. Since I have never really known what my 'Faith' is or if I completely believe in God...Jerusha thought that starting, simply by reading the Bible, may help. She made up some note cards to stick inside to guide me on where the best place for me to begin would be. I did read some of it today. I will admit, I did not get very far. I had too many disturbances from my children. Not complaining...just stating a fact:) However, my girls really wanted me to read them the Bible they recieved. I was more than willing to do so. I was thinking it wouldnt last very long but to my suprise, both of them loved it. We read a little before Laney's nap. And then, before the girls went to bed, we read a good bit of it (for us). Kayli was really into it. She had questions, comments and I even heard her gasping at some parts. I would go back and ask her questions about some of the things I read to her and she answered all of them correctly. I am overjoyed that my kids like this. Laney usually doesnt want anything to do w/ any book. Except if she gets to rip it up! But this time she sat and listened. She loved all the colorful pages and illustrations.

Jerusha asked me,"what can it hurt to put your Faith in God?" I do think we should all believe in something. I mean really, what can it hurt?

Pool

Today was not a very exciting day but it was sunny outside. So after a visit to the gym and some lunch, Kayli and I headed outside for some swimmin' and sunnin'. Laney was taking a nap but when she woke up she joined us too. As did Matt. He was shooting paintballs at our shed door. That's when it hit me that I really do live in Wrightsville! haha. Anyhow, I was able to take a few pics. of our day. A few of them I am not going to post...as they are of Kayli putting water balloons in her bikini top. It is innocent and she did it purely to be funny. I have to say, Matt and I laughed pretty hard. But I just feel weird putting pics of my 5y/o with big jugz!! :)

The Park

Today, my friend Michelle and I took our girls to the park. I like this park beacuse it isnt so big that you have to worry about your kids wondering off , it is shady and there is a creek near by. The kids really enjoyed themselves. I also enjoyed spending time w/ Michelle and her children. Andrea and Ahleah are Kayli's BFFs :) They are so cute together and you can tell they adore each other! Laney also really loves being w/ them. She calls them "Ansea and Lea." Both of my girls get upset when we have to say goodbye to them...and overly excited when they get to spend time w/ them! I am so grateful that my girls and I have such wonderful friends that live 2 houses away! I am sure there will be many more posts and pics of these kids together. But for now, here are tons of pics from our beautiful day at the park.
