3 guesses..

I gated off the living room.
I'm 1-8 so far.
My alarm is set for every half hour.
I have marshmallows as rewards.

You guessed it.  Potty training.

Future Defenders!

Since I haven't gotten a new card for my regular camera, you get the convex lens from the video camera :)  Kayla is 6 mo old and can almost sit up by herself.  She loves her sisters, the dog, daddy and mommy.  She is a huge people person and will be content and happy when she can see everyone and everything that's going on.  She likes peas, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, bananas, pears, and yogurt.  But will pass on green beans.  She takes 1 good nap a day and then a cat nap here or there (usually in the car).  She goes down anywhere b/t 6:30-8pm and then wakes around 4/5am to eat and goes back down until 6-7:30am.  She's a rock star!  We go to the dr. Monday for her 6 mo check up.  I'll update stats then.

We are modeling our Dordt Defender shirts!  They each got one from Dordt College at birth.

Kayla 6 mo

No kids this time...

This was a great read!  Yes, it's late.  Yes, I should be sleeping because I know my precious children are going to wake me up at some point turning the night.  But, tonight, I can't wait for morning to get here!

Sometimes it's the little things.

I will return...

Sorry for the break in blog posts.  My camera card died and I haven't figured out how to upload the videos from my new video camera to the blog yet...
As of now, Khloe loves to 'count' and say her ABC's or t...u's...and lots of randomness.  She also loves to chat with an Abe Lincoln statue in our basement.  He's just as tall as she is and I came down the steps one night to her babbling away right in his face.  Kenzie continues to love basketball.  She knows where every hoop is on our walk loop and says buh-bye to each one.  They are both starting to put buh-bye (name).  It's so cute, I feel like one morning they are going to come out of their cribs talking!  Kayla is doing alright, we've had a little of a rough week and I'm starting to transition her to bottles and baby food.  I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

A little laugh for Tuesday!

I was taking the girls and dog on a walk this morning.  There was a lady coming towards us and she must have been watching for a bit.  When she got close enough, I smiled and said, "Good morning"  she replies with "You have your hands full!"  Still smiling, I replied (with a bunch of extra cheer since I'm working with 3+ hours of sleep last night)  Yes I do!  She is almost past us, turns and says, It's a fun job though.
This is how I chose to take her statement.  I'm the baby sitter.  Which means, I don't look old enough to be the mom and my body doesn't look like it could have possibly just had 3 children in the last 22 months.  Molli: 1 Lady: 0

Responses I could have said:
It's a great job, you should see the paycheck...hahahaha
365 days a year lady!
You should see how fun it is when they're all crying.  Thankfully that rarely happens!

As for the girls:
Kayla is now 5 months old!

She is well on her way to reading...just kidding, this was a present from Kenzie

She loves to sing with daddy, watch her sisters, and ride in the back pack carrier.

She has found her feet, hasn't really taken to cereal yet (although this morning she did pretty well), loves to play peek a boo with her sisters over her crib railings, laughs, likes to ride/sit in the stroller and loves to chew her hands.  

The twins are a few days shy of 22 months.  They love to sing and dance, play outside, and jump (we bought a kiddy tramp, but they jump on anything their feet can touch).  They love to play babies!  I am amazed at how quickly they pick things up.  Khloe put her baby in the grocery cart and then went and got a blankie and put it over the babies lap :)  They put them in high chairs and feed them, yesterday they gave them drinks.  Yes, real cups, no lids with water.  Whoops.  Kenzie would live outside if I'd let her and would take every single ball home with her.  On our walks she always says buh-bye as we pass each one.  Khloe can sing parts of Twinkle, twinkle and Old McDonald.  I'm just waiting for the moment they all of the sudden wake up and just talk in english.  Time to fold more laundry.  Once my camera card is working again, I'll get new pictures up.

Loving time with grandmas'!

My girls are SO blessed to have 2 wonderful grandmas and a great-grandma to play with!

Gma VJ with her girls

seriously the cutest picture ever!

Singing with daddy

Chilling out with a present from her sisters

I can...I will...I did.

I think my grandpa Groelsma would be proud.  I built a screen door today while my girls slept.  I wanted to be able to keep my front door open and keep the bugs (and children) from entering and exiting at will.

Yes, she has a blanket in her crib.  Yes, she can breath and it isn't covering her nose.

Planted seeds for my garden...

I also baked tomato basil bread...

 Go me.  Enough bragging.  Get outside and enjoy this weather!
