Its almost depressing watching your kids grow up so fast right before your eyes. I was looking through baby pictures of Kalee and Lily and just cant believe what they have changed into. Joel and I are excited for our future and having wonderful experiences with the kids as they grow up, but jease, why does it happen so fast?About a week ago Joel took the Girls to the Jelly Belly Factory here in Fairfield to see the tour. The girls had an awesome time! They loved all the colors and the elaborate decorations all made out of Jelly Beans. Lily gave herself exclusive access when she decided that she did not need to heed the roped off areas and climed into the Jelly Belly motorcycle. The girls were in awe of how they made the beans and several other forms of gummy candy, as well as their favorite choclate treats. Joel was surprised that they kept on their required headgear for the length of the tour. At the end of the tour there was a tasting station where they got to taste ever flavor of Jelly Belly. Of course the girls did not like some of them, but they sure thought that some of the flavors were hilarious. Joel also let them go to the wall of Jelly's and pick which flavors they wanted to buy and take home. We still have left over Jelly Beans.
Last sunday we went down to Grandma Bragg's house for dinner and decided to celebrate Clark's 1st birthday a little early. It was so cute how Grandma got little games ready for the kids to play, like fishing and clothspin drop. The Girls absolutely love going over there. We had a great dinner and after had cake and icecream. Clark had his own cupcake and liked it quite a bit.
Life here is still going good. We just bought new couches to fill the empty family room and are piecing the rest of the decorations together as we go. My days go bye to fast as most of it seems to be taking and picking up Kalee from school. She loves her new class and is doing much better here then in Del Rio. I am taking Lily this week to do a trial run on a dance class for her. We'll see how that goes. They are so different that I am sure Lily wont freeze on stage like her sister. Lily also has been asking for a haircut but apparently did'nt like the answer I gave her of "maybe later." So, one day after school, she snooped through Kalee's backpack and found her safety scissors and gave herself a new doo. I of course after getting over my frustration and dissapointment fixed it that night. She will still need to get it done professionally somtime soon.
