Not much going on
Kinley turned 4 months old, I can't believe how time flies. She is at one of my favorite stages right now. She laughs and smiles and gets really excited but she can't go anywhere.
I cut Taylins hair again a couple of days ago it makes me kind of sad to see all of her curls gone but she hates getting it combed so this is how it has to be.

This is us playing silly tag (like freeze tag but your silly instead) I bet you can't guess who made up this game
.
The Salem triathlon has come and gone. It was a very eventful day. It rained and rained and rained. They finally cancelled the bike, which was kind of a bummer. About half of the participants went home, but not me. I stayed and waited it out. It actually turned out to be rather beautiful swim and run. The water was a little chilly but not bad.
Yes, I am eating a yummy boiled egg!

Big weekend
On Friday Jaxon graduated from preschool. I can't believe how big he is getting and kindergarten is only a couple of months away. I must be getting old.
On Saturday was my 4th triathlon (Women of Steel), although it felt like my first. I guess that is the price you pay when you have a baby. Kinley is definetly well worth it. I did however feel like wearing a sign that said, just had a baby 3 months ago to make me feel better about my self, but I didn't. The race was awesome and I was so glad I did it. Nikki had an awesome race she shaved tons of time off of her last race and beat me, I am so proud of her! Less then 3 weeks till our next much longer race, I hope I survive.

Happy Mothers Day!
I had a fabulous Mother's Day! I only wished for one thing and that was a full nights rest. Kinley slept from 10:30
pm to 6:50 am, her longest yet. After I got her fed Dave got up with the kids. I didn't get out of bed until 9:30. I felt like I could have slept all day and into the next but then I would have missed my most favorite holiday.

More improvements
I hope Kinley likes pink. Here is Kinley's room before and after. Dave thought that maybe I was deprived of a girly room when I was little, that may have been the case I'm not sure. Anyway thanks to Nikki for helping me paint.

I thought I would show everyone some of the improvements we are making on the new house. Here are some of our half bath, it has come a long way. You can't imagine how many hours I
spent scraping off wallpaper. We finally ended up renting a professional wallpaper remover from Home Depot, it took the full four hours that we rented it for. What a disaster.


Here are the after photos, it's looking a lot better. Do I look nice in the picture? I had to reach my arm in to take the picture.

FIRST POST!
Well this is pretty exciting my first post. Hopefully there will be more to come. I am not so sure about all this talking about my self and such, but I hear it is the cool thing to do so with that being said we will see how it goes.
