…and we’re back!

Hello to anyone who still might be listening.  Sorry for the long break…we have been a bit busy trying to manage this crazy 3-ring circus we call life.

As Kylie previously mentioned, I (the fortunate husband/father of this motley crew of little women) hope to post in the next few days additional details of the many things that have been keeping us busy over the past several months.  Here is a small sample of our recent distractions

 Selling the only place our family has ever called home

 And finding a place to live until our new home is ready

2 yr old Potty Training

Fun with Horses...did I mention we are moving to the country? 

Moving to a "Big Girl" Bed

Trips to the Zoo

Getting her hair did

Turning the big Five (yep, that's right, it is a horse cake #obsession)

Hayden's first trip to the ER...an unfortunate family tradition

Swim Lessons

 5 yr old Tee-Ball

and plenty of dancing, singing, and showing out from the girls.

Stay tuned for more on these subject as well as few others...

2013: Our Year in Pictures

HELLO Bloggy World! I would like to introduce myself to you....My name is Kylie and I have totally neglected this blog for the majority of 2013.  My goal is to not be a stranger in 2014.  I have a special treat for you this year...my husband is promising a post per month in 2014!  That is 12 posts that are guaranteed to make you either super uncomfortable or roll with laughter.

Speaking of husbands I have a pretty darn good one that probably doesn't get the credit he deserves most of the time.  I am going to brag on him just this ONE time...lol!  Trey loves putting together videos especially of the girls.  I love what he did this year, they are not all the best pictures taken in 2013...some are even blurry...most are iPhone pics...but they ALL tell the story of our year.  So here it is our 2013 year in review.  ENJOY....

Our Week at the Beach

If there is one thing my family all agrees on it's that we LOVE the beach.  We missed the beach last summer since we had 3 infants in the family...thank goodness we made that decision.  We decided this time since we had 5 little ones we would rent a house that was beachfront.  The Bahama Mama & Banana Cabana in Carillon Beach did not disappoint. Carillon Beach is a little gated community just east of Rosemary Beach (where we typically vacation). This was our first time staying there, it's far less crowded then Rosemary or Seaside areas. The weather was perfect all week, we couldn't ask for better temperatures. 

Hayden is almost 20 months now and loved everything about the beach. She was not nearly as concerned as her sister was about being messy or dirty so the sand was not an issue for her.  She is going to be a little fish just like her big sister.  Hayden slept in a pack n play in our room so she was our little alarm clock, I have never seen so much sun at 5:30 am in my life.  She was up with the majority of the house by 6 am every morning.  This was fine because the average bedtime for the adults was around 9:45 pm.  We were all exhausted.  

Landry is our big 4 year old.  She loved the fact that she was the oldest cousin on the trip.  She really played great with her cousin Stella, they are really cute together.  She is getting more and more mature by the day.  I love them being little but I sure love the ease of this age. It never seems like a week is long enough.  I told Trey one year we need to go for 2 weeks...he laughed.  I figure since we both work from home we can just work from FL. :)  

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the week.  Enjoy!

Landry's friend Caroline was also vacationing in Carillon with her family, they shared a little pool time together.
