Madi's 4!!!

Madi decided this year she wanted a Hello Kitty party. Lots of pink and purple everywhere. It was fun though. Lots of kids showed up. More then what I thought was going to come so it was a little bit crazy but I survived it. lol We ended up playing a couple games. Pin the bow on Hello Kitty and Pinata. So funny watching the kids try to break it. Even Bill gave a couple good swings at it but this pinata was invincible. lol I finally tore it open and then the kids dived into the candy mess. So funny though cause with all the smashing on the pinata some of the suckers got smashed. So when we dumped the candy out there was pieces of candy all over the place. It all worked out though. Each kid got some that is all that matters. My mom made the Hello Kitty cake for me. I think she did a awesome job. It turned out way cute. :) Apparently everyone enjoyed it cause there was nothing left of it. Thanks to those who came and made this day a special day for Madi. :)

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Well our Valentines Day ended up being pretty fun. Madi and I made all of her Valentines to hand out to friends and teachers this year. We made hershey kisses roses. I thought they turned out very well. Plus we had a lot of fun as a family decorating cookies and of course eating them. :) The next day was a big day for us because we got to find out the sex of the baby. I am sure some of you have already seen the results on facebook but I am so excited to have another baby girl. Her name will be Ava Nicole Utykanski. I feel like this pregnancy is flying by so quickly. Only about 4 and half more months until I get to meet her. I can't wait. Poor Madi was actually hoping for a baby brother but she was telling me afterwards that it would be nice to have a new sister because Kaylin is mean. lol Well I hope everything keep going well. So far so good. :)

We decided her friends got single roses

teachers got the bouquets.

Madi's Dance.

Well Madi's first performance in Lime Light Studio ended up being a great success. Her age group was so cute and I was so proud that Madi actually did most of the dance. I was worried since the practices I witnessed Madi kind of would do it but then stop. So I am happy that it went really well. I know Madi was super happy to recieve her pretty flowers from mom and her Aunt Becca.

Merry Christmas!!!

Santa came!!!

Halloween fun part 2 / Halloween!!!

We had a fun time carving pumpkins as a family. The girls of course were grossed out with the idea of taking out the pumpkins insides, but Kaylin actually was a little more willing to do it then Madi was.
Halloween turned out alright. Would of been much better if the weather would of decided to cooperate but the girls did go trick or treating the night before at Bills dads work so they weren't missing out on getting candy. They had plenty. We went to Bills sisters house and had a nice time. Lots of good food and fun games. Kaylin did not cooperate though when it came to pictures. Every time I brought out the camera she would either scowl or start crying. Really irritating but what can you do. I made the girls fairy costumes this year. I thought they turned out really cute for my first time. :)

My pumpkin was the spider one and Bills was the wolf one.

She really was being so crabby with pictures. lol

Halloween Fun!!!

So far we have been having a lot of fun doing pre-Halloween activities. We went to Cornbellys at Thanksgiving Point the girls loved it. I went with Emily and her kids and they all had a blast. There was tons of fun activities for them to do. Kaylin was scared of the cow train of course. I hope she learns to enjoy rides soon. lol Then after Cornbellys we went over to the neighbors house and did fun caramel apples. We tried to do them all fancy like the ones you can buy in the stores. Our first attempt turned out alright not as good as the ones you buy but good enough for me. :) I hope the next time I try to attempt doing apples I will be able to make them look a little more professional. Madi decorated her own which is very decorated as you can tell in the picture. Kaylin slept through all of the apple decorating she must of been worn out from all the playing at Cornbellys. Still tons of fun activities planned ahead before actual Halloween comes. I love this time of year. It is my favorite!!!

Kaylin passed out.

Kaylins 2!!!

Kaylin turned 2 on Sept 22nd. I ended up throwing her a party on the Sat after her birthday which was the 25th. Everything turned out alright even though it didn't go exactly as planned. I tried to make flower balloons that I saw on the internet but the helium wouldn't keep them floating because I couldn't blow them up too big or I couldn't tie them up around eachother. So I ended up wasting money on the helium tank cause I ended up having to tape them to the walls. Oh well. Kaylin had fun and was spoiled as always. So I guess that is all that really matters in the end. :) I love my baby Kaylie. I can't imagine life without her. Thanks again for those who came and helped make her birthday memorable. :)

Her new barbie bike.

This was my attempt at making the flowers.
