We are so proud of Riley. Last night He had his 8th grade promotion ceremony. He was on the Honor Roll. Riley is a good kid. He has been blessed with the gift of seeing good in anyone. He is a lot of help to his Dad and I. Last night I told him to go tell his teachers thanks, instead he went over and gave them all a big hug. He had the best cheerleading section of course, well three of the cutest anyway. We want Riley to know how much we love him.

Baylee's kindergarten teacher was the best!!! She made a video for each of the kids. We love all the staff that works with Baylee at the school!!!!

The Love of Family

I love this picture that Shy sent me. I know how much these little ones are loved by our family. You can tell by Baylee Rae's face that she loves Shy so much. This is the look that melts your heart. The "I LOVE YOU" look. (Or, Maybe it's the how about a pinch or a bite look) I am so amazed at the changes this little angel has made in our family. I know we all cherish the little things because that is what helps us through the tougher times. Shy, thank you for this. It came at a time when I needed it most. I love you so much. If there is on thing I love most about my family is they are always there for a shoulder to cry on, or to give you the laughter you so desperatley need. All I can say is THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU!!!!

Tribute to my Mother

Mother I love you. Mother I do. Father in Heaven has sent me to you. When I am near you I love to hear you singing so softly that you love me to. Mother I love you. I love you. I do!!! Mom, Happy Mothers Day! There are no words to express the love I have for my Mother. She is and has always been the kind of mother every child wishes for. Thank you so much for the love and support you have given me. You and Dad have taught us kids how important it is to stay close as a family. I think this is something you both learned from your mothers. I am glad you passed this along. I love my brothers and my sister and I know we will always have a bond that a lot of other families may never get to experience. Mom, you are such a beautiful person inside and out. I hope you have an awesome day. (and that Dad and Greg wait on you!) I love you and miss you. Love Always Kris

GOOOOOOO GRIZZZZZZZ!!!! What a cutie pie. Gracee makes me laugh all the time. She has inherited the Olsen sense of humor. Today the girls went to the dentist and Cierra would be so proud of them and their mother too. The dentist said that their teeth were so clean and looked amazing. Baylee and Kynslee both recieved no cavity awards!YEA! I have made a goal to brush and floss their teeth at least twice a day and it has paid off. Kynslee told the dentist that she even uses mouth wash at night. She swishes it around and spits those sugar bugs right out.

We are all missing Blakester. It is going to be hard on Riley to come home and not have anyone to shadow. Look out Lori! Maybe Shy Shy will let him tag along. We are so proud of Blake. Blake is one of the words Baylee can say, so for they next two years it is my goal to keep her saying this. She loves Blake too. By the way Blake, Riley says thanks for the clothes, guns, bed, etc.

Could Gracee be any cuter? She is so fun and full of Attitude. She loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse, talking to Walker(grandma cow), on the phone, and singing songs. Her favorite are Bringing home a baby bumble bee, monkeys jumping on the bed, and itsy bitsy spidee. She says Greggo, Bampa, Bubba bite finger, KY Ky spank crying, Mommy stop, yea pee pee in potty good girl, Baylee Bae, among a bunch of other words in her bossy tone. My favorite is when she slaps me in the face or gives me a pinch and just before I start to fake cry she says sorry Mama sorry and gives me a love around the neck. I can't help but play the game.

We love love love our neighbors Uncle Al, Grandma Janice, and their family. They are our family away from home. Today Al(who is also one of Riley best friends) took Riley's helmet out to him and told him the Sheriff called and said anyone under sixteen had to where a helmet while mowing the lawn. So Riley put it on. We laughed so hard. I had to get the camera out. I am sure Riley knew Al was giving him a bad time, but he played along for a minute. He is such a good kid he watched the girls for us so we could go to dinner. Not very often does he complain and he either has the girls changed and asleep or they are playing all together. I couldn't ask for a better son.

Baylee had her Kindergarten program Tuesday. They were monkeys. How fitting for her. This is one of her Paras Brooke. In the morning she has a different Para, Trish. They are so awesome with her. I love all the people who work with Baylee. I could never thank them enough for all the love and support they give Ba and I. There is a new song by Collin Raye called She's with me. I'm not sure I love the tune, but the message is good. If you get a chance listen to it.

Kynslee is definatley 4 going on 14. She was named after her Aunt Lori. Kyns loves fashion and shopping. Yesterday she told me that at Shopko they had swimming suits for 5 dollars that made them practically free. Aunt Lori I hope she has made you proud. She also told Riley he needed to do his seat belt up when they went to Bronc's or her would get a saftey violation from the cops. I love her so much she keeps me on my toes!

Kynslee had her gymnastic show this week. She can do cartwheels like no other!!! She loves her teacher Princess Erin on Tuesdays, And Deana on Wednesdays for tumble and dance. Kyns definitly has the personality and facials to make it as a star. If you don't believe me ask her.
