I Love the FlyLady Program!!

Are you living in CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome)? Do you have too much clutter? Or are you just looking for a way to keep your house looking presentable for those unexpected visitors? I found out about FlyLady a few years ago, but I have recently re-joined my efforts to follow her "flying" program with her daily "missions" to help me stay on top of housework/to get ahead on housework. For those of you interested in joining the FlyLady program, just click on the link in my blog. If you're interested in learning more about how it works, go to www.FlyLady.net. It only requires 15 minutes a day/at a time to get your house de-cluttered, clean, and organized. I don't know how I'd survive 2 kids & 2 cats without it!

Yummy Woobie!





Ally loves her stuffed bear dressed in a bunny costume. It is so soft. She is getting better at holding her own toys, as you can see in the pictures and the video.

No Accidents!!


We are working on potty training Kyrie (notice the panties she's wearing in the picture). Yesterday she had no accidents!! Yeah!

Memories Game

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Ally's Getting Bigger...

Ally rolled over for the first time on June 27, 2008. She also starting cutting her 2 front teeth yesterday afternoon. I can't believe how fast she is growing. I feel bad for the poor thing. Kyrie didn't start teething until she was around 7 months old.

Going to the Zoo: Part 2

Hanging out with the Big Kitties.
I thought it was interesting seeing a baby giraffe reaching down to eat, rather than up.

Going to the Zoo 7/3/08

Staring at the monkeys.
Kyrie liked the elephants.
The fun part of the group.
Yeah for the carousel!!
Poor Ally and Aaron during the Carousel ride...

A Successful Trail 6/30/08

Kyrie and LilyWe walked a trail up close to where Grandma Cindy lives. It was a great trail for walking with little ones in strollers.

Our Attempt at a Trail


We attempted to hike/walk a trail in Centerville on 6/27. We discovered that the trails that are marked as allowing motorized vehicles have dangerously fast moving motor bikes on them, and are NOT appropriate for small children. But we did get a nice picture.

Pretty Little Ally


I love this little outfit that my mom gave me for Kyrie when Kyrie was Ally's size. Ally looks so cute in the outfit, too.

Play Date 6/25/08



Kyrie made friends with a girl named Kaylee in our neighborhood/ward. She got to go play in Kaylee's blow-up pool. Kyrie had so much fun that she keeps asking to go play in the "wa wa" again every time she sees a blow up pool in our neighborhood.
