Halloween gift

Thanks for the spooky bowl Grandmas! We love it! Can't wait to hand out some candy tonight!

Boomerang

Denis brought back some boomerangs from Australia. Mckinley and Daddy had fun yesterday playing with one! They tried to lose one in the tree and you can watch and find out if they got it out! Mckinley has been talking about it since! So fun!

Thanks for your patience! We have been busy little girls while Grandma Karen has been here! Yesterday we got to play at the park! Mckinley loves the swings and the slide! Kyndle loved swinging too!

Kyndle - 5 months

Our little Kyndle is now a rolling machine - she doesn't stay on her back for long! She hasn't figured out how to flip over once she gets on her tummy yet! She is 5 months old today and we are just so blessed to have her in our lives! She is an amazing baby and we are so grateful for that! Enjoy her sweetness in the video! Love you all!

Baby, oh!

The Airman's Medal

Denis was honored with The Airman's medal today. In November 2007, he saved a women's life and possible more when we were in Omaha. Denis and I were driving back to Altus, OK and Denis noticed an out of control truck. The driver had a stroke or a seizure - became unconscious - and Denis ran to her truck opened the door through the window and drove the car across on coming traffic to the opposite side of the road before it went over a cliff. A pretty crazy story! It was pretty awesome today to watch him be honored and hear the story again! Way to go babe! We love you and are so proud of you!

Mckinley and her Wee Sing books

Mckinley has been LOVING her Wee Sing books! She has 2 copies from Gr. Grandma Martin and so we can sing upstairs or downstairs! The other day we heard her singing and reading to herself in the chair downstairs! So cute!




Mckinley and "baby Kiwi"

Mckinley turns 2

On Mckinley's birthday, we started the day with her favorite breakfast: waffles, strawberries, whipped cream and SYRUP! Next, we went to the park with one of her favorite people, Emmett Parkison and his mom and dad! We also had a fabulous lunch with them! After Mckinley's nap we opened presents and had some birthday cake! A wonderful day for a wonderful girl! We love you so much Mckinley! You amaze us more and more everyday! There is no way we could tell you how much we love you or how proud of you were are! Love you so much!

Happy Birthday to Mckinley

Our sweet Mckinley turned 2 on Saturday, May 29th! She had a wonderful weekend celebrating! The theme of the weekend was butterflies!

We had a birthday party for her at a park on Friday with many of her little friends! She had fun playing and eating cupcakes!

A beautiful May day

We had fun playing outside today! The last few days have been nice and warm! It is only like 60 degrees but that is WARM here! When the sun is out, it is hot and nice! Mckinley loves to be outside and never wants to come in! She gets so dirty and loves to play in the dirt and rocks. She has really been having fun "going walking" in the woods with Daddy! She gets to see alot of moose too! She usually comes home with lots of mementos from her travels - rocks, dandelions, spruce tree leaves etc. She is so excited to show me what she found when she gets home. Usually after a couple days and I am finding rocks all around the house, we "set them free" to be outside! :) Enjoy the pictures and videos!

She loves bubbles too!

Tuesday

We had doctor appointments for both the girls today! They are both healthy and strong and doing wonderful!
Kyndle is 2 months today - she weighs 13.5 lbs and is 23.5 in. long. She is such a good baby and doing everything she is supposed to! Thank God for healthy children! Here are some pictures of Kyndle from today! There is also a video of Mckinley playing with her car outside tonight!

These are the days of our lives!

Monday -
We went to Bouncing Bears today! Yah - so much fun! Mckinley loves to bounce on all the inflatable toys! She had fun with Daddy, Mommy and Auntie Leah!

Playing outside

We got to play outside yesterday! It was fun to play with side walk chalk and bubbles! Mckinley has been saying the cutest things. She pretty much "tries" to repeat anything we say! Lately she has been saying "puppy dog" and it is really cute how she says it. I was trying to capture it here!

Kyndle is one month old!

It is hard to believe that our little Kyndle is one month already! She is such an amazing baby! I don't even think we know how lucky we are! She is so peaceful and laid back! Thank goodness - because her sister is ALOT of work! Mckinley is getting into everything and quite the "scientist" trying to figure out how everything works and what is inside the salt shaker and things like that! I am a very busy mommy and I am sure Denis feels like he never gets a break either! So are the days of our lives...blessed beyond measure!

Mckinley on Monday

Just updating our blog with a little Mckinley movie! It is short and sweet because the battery died on the camera. But it is better than nothing!

Random

Kyndle and Mckinley are doing great! We have been staying busy and starting to figure out a routine around here! I try to take alot of pictures to document our life for all our friends and family away from us but also for the girls when they are older. Here are some pictures from this week. This video is short and sweet but Aunt Alyssa likes to see the girls "in action"! Love you all!

Tuesday - Mommy went to the bow shop!


Wednesday - Nap with Daddy - after his check ride

Cute thanks to Mom and Dad and my new hair bow

Hi!!

Hoppy Easter!

He has risen indeed! We had a great Easter this year! Happy 1st Easter to our little Kyndle! We had a relaxing day and it was fun to give Mckinley her Easter basket and to see her look for some eggs! We had a yummy Easter dinner of ham, Grandma Martin's mustard sauce, corn casserole, and peas! We had some peanut butter eggs for dessert! We hope everyone had a fabulous Easter!
We are now onto real life as Grandma Karen is back in MN, Denis is back at work, and I am here with two kiddos! Please say prayers for our family as we all transition to this new life! Love you all!

Kyndle Anne is here!!

Our precious baby girl is here! Kyndle Anne Paquette was born on Thursday, March 18, 2010! She was 8 lbs 3 oz and 21 in long. We are so excited she is here! I will write more later! We have a lot less time now with two girls! :)
