Our Stairs...

Brian ripped out all of the treds and risers off of our front stairs (no worry we have another). We really would like to keep most of the house as orginal as possible so instead of buying new treds, we are going to send these in to Brian's mill down in Louisville to get sanded and fixed. I really cannot wait to get the front entry done, I am so excited!

A view from up above...

These are the treds and the risers that were removed.

Looks like fun doesn't it.....

It's my party, I'll cry if I want too!

Today was Ashlee's 3rd Birthday! I can't believe that she is actually 3 years old! We just had a family party, we have to much demo right now for a "real party". I was kind of bummed, because I wanted to throw her a big princess party!

She was actually in a HORRIBLE mood for her party. She had a melt down over the simplest things, if you looked or said anything to her it was the end of the freaking world. She cried and screamed for the majority of it. It's Brian's fault, he had her lay down for a nap (with him) and let her sleep for about 3 hours! I was gone.

She got a swim suit as one of her presents and she just had to put it on!

Happy Birthday Leelee!!!

New Haircut

Ashlee's new haircut!

I wanted the length to be at her chin, but I guess chin and ear must sound alike or something.

Get down with the sickness!

We are getting sick again! Can you guess what it is?! Not a cold, not allergies.... It's the FLU! It started last night, Ash wasn't feeling to good and ends up doing the barfing dash to the bathroom, doesn't make it. It's amazing how little kids can run and throw up at the same time. I can't wait for the rest of us to get sick! 2 down (me and Ash) 3 to go!

March for Babies

On Saturday I took Kailyn and Ashlee to walk in the March for Babies (formally known as the Walk of Dimes). The weather was absolutly wonderful! The walk started behind my house at Sunset Park and then ventured downtown and then along the river back to Sunset Park. It was a HUGE turnout and they raised lots of money for the foundation!

Ash got to ride with little Mylee Taylor!

Flashback Friday.... Gas Prices

Remember when gas prices were that low? Wasn't that great?! Today I got gas for $3.63. That really sucks, and it may even get higher. Well, I am really glad that we traded in our Expedition (only got 13 mpg) for a van...

Oops

Kailyn fell off my bed onto the hardwood floors and landed on her face.

The Bird....

Early this morning, around 3:00 am, we woke up to Reese screaming. This wasn't like her normal scream, this sounded as if someone was trying to kill her. So she runs down the hallway (screaming) into our room (still screaming) jumps on top of me (screaming) and tells me that there is a bird in her room...

So Brian gets out of bed to take a look, there was a little bird flying all around her room. Ash was sitting up in bed not really knowing what to think and Kailyn slept through the entire thing. Right now all three girls are sleeping in the same room because the other bedrooms have leaking issues. The house has five bedrooms and we can only use 2 of them.... Anyways, the bird came down the chiminy into the fireplace that is in Reese's room.

So we take the girls out of the room find the Stupid Cat, throw him in there thinking that maybe he will take care of the bird issue and then go back to bed. Well the girls ended up in our bed. It was horrible! It's a king size bed and all three girls had to sleep on top of me! Morning comes, the cat didn't do his job so Brian had to get rid of the bird.

This is my good for nothing stupid cat Fufanu
aka: Fufu, Poopoo, Forfor and Whore Face.

A Classic Kirstin....

For all of those that know me really well, know that I am actually an idiot. I get confused, will believe anything that you tell me and fall down and bump into walls alot.

The other day while I was trying to herd all of the monsters outside to leave, I left my keys on the counter and shut the locked door. I was locked out of my house and my van. I search for my phone (I'm surprised that it wasn't inside) call Brian and tell him that I locked myself out. I could hear him roll his eyes over the phone. He wasn't really surprised either. Well turns out that Brian can't come home because he was in Haubstadt for a meeting. So he tells me to find a window to break in. I find a window (all of our windows are about 5 ft off of the ground) put a slit in the screen, pop it out and push up the window. Then I have to chase after Reese to thow her in the window. During this time Reese is screaming at me at the top of her lungs saying that she is so mad at me for making her do this blah blah blah. So I grab her, arms and legs kicking, throw her into the window and tell her to open the door. She gives me a dirty look and starts walking the opposite way. So I scream at her. Then I hear someone laughing behind me.... The mail lady is laughing hysterically. She saw the entire thing and tells me that she feels for me. Well Reese FINALLY opens the freaking door, I get my keys and we leave to have a new adventure at Walmart and Sam's Club.
