For those of you who know my eldest child, you also know that she only has 2 speeds: Super FF and Dead Asleep. Well low and behold we found something that kept her entertained for over 20 minutes...and quiet. She made a mess but it was worth the quiet time.



Yep, she pealed all the paper off her crayons. We tried to talk to her but she was concentrating so hard that we were blocked out. So I guess what I need to do is buy a new box of crayons when ever I need her to sit still and be quiet. Could be expensive but just might be worth it.

Now how cute are these two! Makynna was in a good mood the other day so I had a few minutes to capture the fun she was having with Oryn. In the one black and white I can't get over how many similarities my girls have. Its crazy!




This is Makynna "Farting" Oryn. She watches Scott and me do so often that she has decided that she needs to help too. All she does is hold Oryn's legs and says "Fart Oryn, I help you." Quite entertaining.

After church on Sunday I was trying to think of an activity that would keep Makynna happy and entertained until it was time for supper. I decided that we should make home made buns. We had a blast! It took the better part of 2 1/2 hours (Me not being talented in the bread making area). The buns turned out okay but it was the fun we had that was the best. I gave Makynna her own dough. That poor piece of dough. It got work! We never put it in the oven...even though I told her we did...I couldn't even imagine how hard it would have been. When Dad got home from work he got attacked. It was not the day for Scott to wear all black. Scott was a good sport...but quickly turned the tables on Makynna and tickled her to death...well, I am pretty sure she peed.








Tonight we went over to visit Makynna and Oryn's Great-Grandma Ully. Makynna was her usual hyperactive self, and Oryn was content the whole time. Grandma and Grandpa Ully were there as well. It was the first time Great-Grandma had seen Oryn.
Grandpa entertained Makynna with the wheelchair. It was amusing to watch. And Grandma loved on Oryn.

Now that I have some time...

Okay, I have been slowly getting myself organized. I am venturing out on my own more. Kynna, Oryn, and I have a good system going. I am quite suprised at how well Makynna behaves while we are out...but you through another adult into the mix and she seems not to want to cooperate. Funny, you would think it would be the other way around.
I have also had the chance to brave the single parent at bed time. Chrissy I don't know how you did it...or still do it. I have survived and come out with not so bad resaults.
It is quite cute to watch Makynna with her baby sister. She loves to walk up to Oryn...while she is asleep in her chair give a BIG squeeze, pat her head or face and say "Oryn, you're my best friend! I love you!" Which Oryn replies with a good scream on some occasions. But on most she just watches and listens to her big sister with pure content. I love it...I know it won't last forever so I must take it when I can get it.
Now for the picture update....

Makynna and I spend a lot of time at the Cheese Cake...with Oryn who sleeps. This is where we take most of our pictures. So this is a peek at our silly time together.








Now for an assault of pictures of Oryn.











Okay, I will not bore anyone with anymore pictures...on this post at least.

Holly Cow!!! Has it been that long?

Talk about lacking in the update area. Lots has gone on since last post...I won't go that far back. Just an update on the new little one...and Makynna.
The new edition to our family arrived Thursday, Dec. 27, 2007 at 05:30 am. Oryn R.H. Ully weighed in at 8 lb. 1 oz and was 20 inches long. As like Makynna, Oryn came fast. I started contractions at 03:40am, my water broke at 03:50am, when we got registered at the hospital I was too far along to take any drugs, labour was an intense hour and a half, and after 15 minutes of pushing she joined the outside world.



Oryn has just as much hair as Makynna did...and they could be considered twins two year apart.

On the left is Makynna at about 3 weeks. And on the right is Oryn at the same age.

I do have to say we make good looking kids...but I'm biased.

How much fun can you have in one month!?!?

Its been a good month. Busy, hectic, kinda crazy but good! I am now at the 8 week count down. This kid is coming sooner then I expected. We are frantically trying to get the house organized...by that I mean I have been cleaning, donating, and throwing away. I cannot believe how much junk can be accumulated in such a short amount of time. We finally finished cleaning out our storage room so that we can transform it into our bedroom. By doing this we have discovered that there is never enough room to put stuff. Oh well!


Kynna's little mind is growing by the day. Her imagination is running away with her. Her vocabulary is extraordinary. And she is growing faster then we can buy cloths and shoes. But she is still my little angel!




I have decided that I have become not so bad at cutting my child's hair. This is the second time I have done it myself and people keep asking where I take her...so it can't be that bad.


Kynna has a new favorite food group...Blue Jello! She has been stained blue a couple times but as long as she enjoys it...




Kynna loves to wait for her dad to come home from work...looking out the window telling me which cars and trucks do not belong to Scott.










And her favorite past time with her father is getting a ride in any container she can fit into...yes, even an empty garbage can!

We even had the chance to have a friend over for a play date. Kynna and Jackson had a blast making a mess, jumping on the couch, and tickling each other.

And then there was Halloween!
