Our nephew Kade moved in with us to go to school and work. He is a great kid and Ryan has enjoyed having another male around the house - but I have to admit I have a new appreciation for his 5 sisters!!! A few of which occasionally read this so my hat goes off to you girls, I love you even more!!!
Our house is slowly but surely moving forward. We currently have 1 bathroom for the 6 of us so our neighbors occasionally have a little girl doing the potty dance on their front porch so thankfully they are very nice!!
The first day of school. (I do drive to the same school every morning, but there is something better about the school bus I guess) It has been very sweet watching Morgan take care of Ashlyn at school and making sure she is okay. I love having both of the girls there and can't wait until next year when all three will be with me. Ashlyn is in all day kindergarten so it makes it a lot easier for me, Morgan still loves school and Ashlyn loves it as well.
Backpacking to White Pine Lake at Tony Grove. I have to admit that this was my first experience on peeing in the woods. I was very strategic about it and dehydrated myself so I only had to go once in the 24 hour period! It was a beautiful hike, it was about 8 miles and our girls did awesome. Ashlyn and Morgan walked the entire way, and we only had to carry Maddie when she would fall (she was listening to the Ipod and singing and kept falling because she wasn't paying attention to where she was walking.) Kade and the Smith's came with us and we had a great time!
Our one finished room in the house and I love it - I haven't put anything on the walls (waiting for the rest of the basement to get finished) and we need to get the headboard finished! I am thinking that this will end up being Maddie Sue's room because the other bedroom has to have two girls in the room and nobody wants to share with Maddie. 
Ashlyn and Maddie did Future Rockettes over at the high school with the drill team. This is just before there performance. Cute girls that I learned quickly love to perform - I don' t know why that surprised me!!
Spent a long weekend in San Diego and had a great time, Ryan was working on some cabinets for my aunt and uncle so the girls and I spent the day on the beach. A great day!!

I can never expect anything but the best from you! I love the room and want to know where you got the bedspread. You probably made it with all those things you're making. I can't believe how much you can do. Love that you have the girls ride the bus and are you saying that Kade is a handful? We already know that. ;)
I agree with Laura-you are so crafty and I love the room. Also thanks for the sympathy about growing up with Kade. however he may be the way he is because he only has 5 sisters. oh wait no, I am not taking any of the blame.
1.) your girls are adorable, as always!
2.) I love the new room.... you can come decorate my house when i actually have one. More realistic..... you can just make my wedding look cute.
3.) I'm glad some people are appreciating all we went through with Kade!!(Crysti, we had nothing to do with the way he is!)
Looks like you are having a great time and staying very busy. You have such a cute family. I love the room. Good luck on all your projects. I guess I didn't realize what a seamstress you were.
