To Grandma's House We Go!

We were able to get away for a few days and go to Missouri to see my grandparents!  We hadn't seen them since August, and we were missing them terribly!  So, we took a couple days off work, and headed out!  I didn't know how long it would take Karsyn to get used to them again, but I was pleasantly surprised!  It took her about 5 minutes before she wouldn't leave Grandma's side!! 

She went out to help Grandma check the mail!



She saw us all in the dining room and started knocking on the window!

Then, on Friday evening, Uncle Jayson joined us and she just LOVED having him around to play with!  He is such a great uncle!  He even babysat while we went to town!

Yes, once again, I didn't think to take many pictures!  We were having so much fun and it never really crossed my mind!  We miss and love them tons and can't wait until the next time we get to see them!!  Hopefully, we can stay a little longer next visit!!!

A Couple New Things

Karsyn is growing up so fast, and it's hard to remember to get the camera out these days because we are so busy.  But, I did take a couple of pictures of new things we have accomplished!!

 After 2 years and almost 4 months, I got her hair up in a ponytail!! 

Here is the back...

She loves her hair out of her face and off her neck!  So, every morning, I ask her how she wants her hair, she responds with, "I want a BIG ponytail!!"  So, most of the time, I let her have one!!  Now, her hair is so fine, that it doesn't stay up long, but it's cute while it lasts!!!


The next one really isn't New news, but she cracked me up, so I thought I would post it anyways!!  She is potty-trained, but sometimes she doesn't like to be by herself in the bathroom.  However, she will let you know when she doesn't want you in there!!  She will say, "Be right back" and point her finger at you!!  That is your cue to get out of there until she is done!! 

So, this day, she didn't want to be by herself, so she decided she would take a piece of styrofoam that we had from a box and place it next to the toilet, and make Mr. Bear a potty seat too!!!  LOL!!  She was so proud of herself and even clapped for Mr. Bear when he was done using the potty!!  LOL!! 

I'm sure she will kill me later in life when she realizes that I am posting this pic on the internet, but it was too cute to pass up!!!  Here is Mr. Bear using his potty with her!!  

Spring Fun

The last couple of weeks have been so warm, so we have been taking advantage of it as much as we can!! 

She is becoming quite the lady!!  LOL!!

Wanna play ball??

How about let's just play in the dirt??

I think she is going to be a great soccer player!

Discovering Pinecones!

And naming them Mommy Pinecone, Daddy Pinecone, and Baby Pinecone!  (Everything these days has to have a mommy, daddy, and baby!!)

And carrying them everywhere!

Searching for the perfect rock from the driveway

Right there....that one!!

Whoa!!!  Can I throw it??

I think we are going to have a ton of fun this spring and summer!  Karsyn loves to play outside and wants to stay out there for as long as she possibly can!  She begs to please stay out longer when we tell her it's time to go in!
