Lauryn Says

Lauryn: "Mom, (sniff.... sniff....sniff....) Kamryn smells like a baby. Like Milk.

My thoughts: I think I'll go give Kamryn a bath now. I don't know how long it's been!

Kamryn's First Photo Shoot

Lori Lynn Photography has been at it again. Here's what she had to say about it:

"I had the joy of meeting this adorable little angel yesterday and couldn't resist a few photos.
This was an impromptu shoot with bedspread courtesy of Robin, the lace and ribbon and fresh cosmos courtesy of Kari and the tutu courtesy of yours truly!!! She is such a sweetheart!!!"

Cleaning Tip #2: Best Vinyl Floor Cleaner

This is the best Vinyl floor cleaner. I have tried just about every other brand and this is my favorite. It cleans, shines, and protects your floor. I find that in about a two week span I only have to sweep periodically and spot mop with my swiffer wet jet. Also be sure to follow the directions on the back of the product. You need to squirt the product directly on your floor in sections. Then you mop it with warm water and let it dry completely before walking or putting furniture back on the floor.

(sorry about the low quality photos)

Quick Kitchen Tip: Before I go grocery shopping I always clean out my pantry and quickly organize it. Same with my refrigerator. I find that I only have to do my freezer monthly. If you can get in the habit of doing this, you'll come home with groceries to find that it's much easier to put them all away!

Enjoy! love, Katelyn

It's my 24th Birthday!

Reasons why you need to tell me you read my blog. (My friend did this for her birthday and I just have to do it too!)

1. I have never done this before. (asking for comments)

 
2. I really want to know who reads my blog and what they like about it.

 
3. It's my birthday!

 
4. Just leave a comment simply because I am sharing this sweet photo of me on my 8th birthday. Gotta love the hair.

 
So please leave a comment, or two!

Lauryn Says

Bryan: "Lauryn, do you have issues?"

Lauryn: "No, I have white shoes."

Day Two in McCall 8-21-09

One of the many family traditions we have while at the cabin it to build a puzzle! Grandpa is always ready for us. Grandpa, we have so many fond memories of doing puzzles together! We love you!

The girls couldn't get enough of Uncle Kurt. (I'm not kidding)

Here's Lauryn and Emily reading Ripley's Believe or Not book with Uncle Kurt. Lauryn loved this book so much, we picked one up at Costco for her birthday. Shhhh! It's a Surprise!

Kira and I got in some Tubing! Gotta love being on the Lake! I miss it already!

Bryan tried slalom skiing this year! Go Bryan!

Here's my beautiful Grandma holding her third great grandchild Kamryn.

Happy 5 Anniversary Babe!

We were very lucky to spend our anniversary in McCall. Our family watched all three of our girls while we went to dinner. We had a great time except the first restaurant ended up having to turn us away because the kitchen was so far behind and we locked our keys in the car! It was defiantly a night to remember! Here's a photo of the restaurant we ate at. Our waiter was amazing and let us use his AAA card to get our car unlocked. We were so happy and left him a very good tip!
