Kynna is becoming quite the little chatter box!! She is learning more and more words with her newest ones being, Uh-oh, whoa, bye-bye, and the dreaded No!! She has only said No like 3 times but it is so funny!! And she says the others ones all day long!! When she hears my mom on skype she starts saying Hi until she gets to see her as well, even if she is in bed already!! We try to make sure we let J call before bed just so Kynna will get a chance to talk as well. Kynna had her 15 month check-up a few weeks ago and she is still under 20 pounds. She is getting a little taller but she is still only in like the 10th percentile for her age!! She still has the chunky cheeks that you just want to eat!! She was doing better about not screaming as much but in the last 2 weeks she is back to her old ways so we'll have to get back to stopping that!! She still uses her pacifier when she is sleeping and on Sunday's during church when we don't want her to have a screaming outburst!!! She still calls it a nu-nu!! Kynna is getting a little more daring and has started to learn to climb on things. She mastered the stairs months ago, but only climbing up. I'm not brave enough to let her try the down thing yet!! She loves to drive her little car around the house and seems to be getting more secure with it and can finally reach the floor so she can move on her own!! She does get mad very easily when she gets stuck or when something is in her path!! But she's learning to move it and go around things!! She is almost 16 months and I do believe that she is going to LOVE Thanksgiving this year since eating is one of her favorite things to do!!! It will be fun!!!

Henicorn no more...
On Monday, we went to the Layton Park Lighting Ceremony with Nanny and Poppa. Well J has been calling a Unicorn a Henicorn forever and all of a sudden there is no more Henicorns. They had a Unicorn light display and J was still super excited to see it but when Nanny told her to look because there was a Henicorn, Jaylee very matter-of-factly informed her Nanny that it's called a Unicorn!! It was so sad to see that my little girl is growing up so fast!! I really was hoping that this Henicorn thing would last a little longer but not so much!! Oh well now we can find new things to love about our Bug!!
Jaylee is getting so grown up!! She is really smart and super sassy but we LOVE her more and more every day!! She has had another little growth-spurt and we find that her legs are really out growing the rest of her body!! I doubt she'll be very tall but it seems like she is really growing in so many ways!! She is getting better about being nice to her sister, which is the best ever!! She does still have her moments when she is kind of mean to her, but they are fewer and farther in-between!! She LOVES to sing and if she knows a song, you had better believe that she will sing her little heart out!! She also LOVES to learn and when she learns something new she will tell everyone she talks to about what she has learned!! Diego and Dora teach her all kinds of things!! And her newest LOVE, talking on the video(skype) with Grammy and Aunt Say!! She begs from the time she wakes up in the morning until she's sent to bed, to call them!! She kind of loves them!!! We typically call them almost every night to chat with them and see them!! She is so excited to spend Christmas with them this year!!
Family Pictures of my girls...
I know I'm bias but I do have some adorable girls!!! Here are a few different sets of our most recent family pictures. They were taken last month by my sister-in-law and she did a GREAT job, especially since our Kynna girl was super crabby and J just wanted to play and kept messing with her hair, Brady was hungry and just wanted to be done!! So needless to say it wasn't exactly the greatest of situations for family pictures, but there are some REALLY cute ones!!!
Some of the out-takes...
Even though these aren't perfect-they sure are some of my favorite still!! I guess it's because it's just showing more of how my girls are!! I love it and I love that my sister-in-law captured them as well!!! Thanks again Megan!!!
Family Pictures of Jaylee...
Here are a few of our favorites of our J-Bug from Family Pictures!! I can't believe how big this one is getting and that in a few months she will be 5!!
Family Pictures of MaKynna....

Hanging around...
I can't believe that it is already November!! And I can't believe how cold it got so fast!! We have having lots of fun laughing together lately!! Kynna is at such a fun stage and LOVES to get into trouble!! She is so funny to watch as she explores all of Jaylee's fun toys and tries to keep up with her big sister!! She still screams really loud when she gets frustrated but it seems to be less and less that we have to remind her that it's not okay to do that. Last night she was trying to give herself a ride in Jaylee's baby stroller. She kept sitting down and then she would use her legs to make it move a little. Jaylee and I just sat there and laughed at her!! She was laughing then with us as well thinking she is so funny!!!
And then we have Jaylee or as I'm suppose to be calling her Queen Jaylee. She has been on this kick this week that she is the queen and we are her servants. I tried to convince her that I was the queen-mum then but she wouldn't give in. The funniest thing is that her crown, is the one from her Chuck-E-Cheese Birthday party so it's the plastic one. She has a bunch of dress-up crowns that are so much cuter and look a lot nicer, but this is the one that she LOVES!! Oh well I guess when you are 4 everything is cute!! She, like her sister, thinks that she is so funny as well, and I find myself just laughing with her throughout the day because she's laughing hysterically at her own jokes or things she's done!!
I feel so blessed to be the Mommy to these 2 girls!! And they make me laugh every day at their little personalities and funny things they do!! Here's hoping that winter is pretty mild though since we're all wimps about the cold weather!!!
Twins and Triplets...
I'm the crazy one that has always wanted to have twins!! So there have been a few little experiences in the last month and a half that have given me an experience of what having multiples would be like. I loved it and would be thrilled if even I am blessed in this way!!! I think it would be a huge difference having my own, but I am up for the challenge. If only it worked that way!!!
At the beginning of October, we had our nephew Gideon stay with us for a couple of days while his parents were away on an Anniversary Vacation. Gideon is a few months older then Kynna, so having 2 1 year olds was defiantly a challenge but so cute at the same time!!! It's funny to see how different it is to have a boy around!! Poor guy was surrounded by girl toys but we did manage to find a couple of balls that he loved!! And he didn't mind riding on the pink car or playing with the dolls either!!
Then last week, we decided to steal our favorite twins for the day!! We had such a great day with Adley and Brecklyn!! Jaylee asks daily if we can do it again!! Jaylee is a couple months older then them, but they all get along so well!! We played at the house for awhile, and then we decided to go out for a special lunch to McDonald's where they had a BLAST playing!! Then I had to run my car back out to the shop to have them look at something so they got to enjoy a movie there in the little cute playroom they have at the dealership, then since it was actually pretty nice outside, we went to a park and met Melissa there to give the twins back. We had so much fun with all of them though!!! We will be having this Triplet day again!!!
Halloween Festivities!!!
Without a camera, I still managed to get a few shots of things we did during the Halloween days!! My camera will sometimes take a couple pictures before it stops working again and I keep trying since I know I have to wait a little closer to my birthday or Christmas before I get a new one!!
These first pictures were taken at J&J. They have a little pumpkin ride and you get to go out to their pumpkin patch and pick a pumpkin. We actually went twice since we went with Brady's parents and the Hospital the first time. This is when we got our pumpkins, and then we went with our friends the next time. I did let J get a little pumpkin that time since she claimed that the one she got was to big!! It's a fun little tradition and we had a great time!!!
J loved these little picture ops!! We actually took these one day when we went to get Brady for lunch one day. It was nice since we didn't have anyone else over there wanting to take pictures!!
on the Hay-ride with our friends. Most of the kids all sat together and I couldn't get them to look at me so I just took it!! That is my friend, Melissa down there leaning forward. The girls all wanted to sit together and then her nephew and son were on the other side of them so we basically had almost an entire side of the ride!!
Another one of our new favorite traditions during Halloween is going to the Syracuse Pumpkin walk. It is so cool to see what other people have carved into their pumpkins!! It's just a fun little thing!! Anyways, after waiting until the last night last year, we decided to go the first night this year and it was perfect!! We didn't even have to wait to start the walk. Although I didn't like the way they set it up this year especially since they did a lot of it on the grass instead of the sidewalk, and with our little stroller it was such a pain to push it on there. I really liked the one way they did last year as well. This year it was more of a free-for-all and it just got congested even with there not being as many people. I would have rather waited a little then to have that madness!!
I had tried a couple times to get pictures but my camera finally decided to work with perfect timing since J had found her favorite pumpkin!! Of course it was a Unicorn!! She is all cowgirl I swear!! She LOVES horses and everything associated with them!!
And Halloween!! Since Brady didn't get home until after 5pm, and the girls were sooo ready to go, I let them do a little trick-or-treating to our neighbors while Brady got changed and ready to go. Kynna was hilarious to watch. She would NOT let go of her bucket and then we had one neighbor who wasn't home and she seriously threw a full on temper-tantrum in his yard. She just kept stomping her feet and looking back at his door and screamed. It was seriously the funniest thing ever!!! J basically sprinted from house to house so that she could get to as many as possible before it was time to go to Nanny and Poppa's house. We got up there a little late since everyone else had been there and already trick-or-treated to their neighbors. We had dinner(soups and of course Snake Sandwich) and then we took the kids out again for the real trick-or-treating!! We did a couple of streets and they had so much candy and the girls were ready to go back, so Brady and I took all the girls back to his Parents. J was suddenly wishing that she had stayed once she realized that she could have gotten more candy. I took her around to Nanny and Poppa's neighbors and she was good with that!! Kynna was not to happy with not being able to eat every piece of candy as it dropped into her bucket!! She has a sweet tooth and if we would have let her I think she might have eaten most of it then. But now the candy has kind of worn off and there still sits a big bowl that here pretty soon will just be thrown away. I tried to convince J into taking it to her dentist and letting him buy it from her but she wasn't having that. Kynna was a Giraffe and J was a ladybug fairy if you asked her.
