Sand, more Sand and Mommy's birthday

Well we put the finishing touches on the playground. We put railroad ties all the way around it and then we filled it with sand. Ok let's be honest Al and Adam did most of the work, Syd and I helped when we could:) As you can see the dump truck was able to fit through the gates in the back fence, thank goodness, otherwise that would have been a lot of sand to move from the front yard to the back! We had one huge pile and Syd loved it, she had so much fun that first night that she cried when it was time to come in:) She loves playing out there, so thanks to Uncle Adam and Daddy for all the hard work!

We put Gillian in the Johnny Jump this week and she hasn't really gotten the idea to jump but she likes it, something new:) We also fed her rice cereal last week, so cute, she wasn't too sure about it, but is doing better this week.

It was my birthday, 33, wow, crazy, so we celebrated at home and Al picked up an ice cream cake which was great especially with this hot hot weather we have been having!

Enjoy the photos.

Father's Day and Gilly is 4 months Old

June 19th was a big day here in OK, it was Father's day and Gillian's 4 Month Birthday! We had a good day, just stayed home and tried to stay cool, it has been very hot here in OK! We had Gilly's 4 month check up today and here are her stats:

16lbs 15 oz - 100% for weight

25 1/2 inches - 98% for height

Needless to say she is a big girl and we love it. She had to get shots today and of course didn't like them but she took them like a champ and big Sister Syd was right there and was very concerned for her too, I think inside she was just glad it wasn't her getting them:)

Gilly is still just a happy and great baby for us, she loves to watch what her big sister is doing and really likes to grab toys and puts everything in her mouth. We will be starting rice cereal tomorrow, I think she is going to love it!!

Syd wore this same outfit at 4 months but on Gilly it is a bit tight in the arms and legs, too funny. We hope you enjoy the pictures!

Visit to see OK City Kerkmans and Other fun pics

Here are a few pictures of the girls in the brown hats my parents got them. It was hard to get them both to look at us at the same time! The other pic is from when the girls got all dressed up to go to a work party for Daddy's work.

We drove down to Oklahoma City to see Sarah, Adam, Sam and Al's mom and Charlie were in town as well. As you can see we had a great time. The kids loved swinging in the back and we took Syd over to the pool and she had a blast, it was 105 or something so who wouldn't love the pool! It was kinda hard to get a picture of all of them together, but we did our best!

Growing Girls

Well we have been enjoying what time we can outside, it is hot here in OK!! First off we got two new trees to plant and as you can see Syd is "helping" Dad, she even had to get her own shovel and was trying to use her foot on it like Dad was on his, too funny.

We celebrated Al's 33rd birthday over Memorial Day weekend!

Gillian now likes to sit in the high chair while we eat!
