My Girl's new Haircut!

Why I love being a Mom...

Lately I have been feeling VERY overwhelmed with being a single mom to my 3 amazing girls...Like I am in sooo deep over my head..But then I found this picture that Karlee drew for Kassidy and I think I'm not doing too bad...I love this picture. I hid it so I'll be able to cherish it forever... Yet, another reason why I love being a Mom...

Kassidy's Story-Which I love...

The Two Princesses
By Kassidy Collins

There were once 2 princesses named Kassidy and Gabby. They were out for their Princes.Then came along an evil witch.She seemed nice at first. She gave us an apple. We ate it then passed out for 20 minutes.She put us in prison. We met a very nice prisoner. Then we were thinking of ways to get out of prison. Eventually, we did get out. So, we ran and found our princes,went to a cottage and found a good witch. She was a good witch because she gave us some cookies and asked if we wanted to buy her cottage.We said, Are you sure? and she said Absolutely! We said yes,we would love to.And, she said, I'm going to have to pay you. How much? I'll be easy on you. $100 dollars ok? Here you go and let me get some paperwork for you. You bring it back to me tomorrow and then you will be on your own. Thank you, we said. Your welcome, she said. And let me tell you, lightening will strike through here very easy. If that happens, go to the tower they will tell you what to do. You are in a forest, so it will happen,Just to give you a heads up. The two princesses lived happily ever after in their cottage...

Karlee's Soccer

Karlee's First Game

Karlee had her first game in her soccer career today. It was so fun and she was SO excited. It was so nice to watch and just have fun especially since Kait and Kassidy's games are so competitive and all about winning. Karlee packed her soccer bag this morning and made sure not to forget her blanket. It was such a great reminder how young she is still. It makes me so sad thinking how fast my girls are growing up. Karlee had a great game, she scored 3 goals. She can't wait till next week and neither can I!

Haircut

I took Kassidy to get her hair cut over the weekend.. She had this idea to cut her hair a certain way and I was very nervous because her hair is so thin. I asked the stylist at Cool Cutz for Kidz and she thought it would look good. I got very nervous when she pulled out the clippers. I am so glad we cut it the way she wanted. It looks absolutely adorable. In fact, these pictures do not do it justice. I just love it.

Happy 12th Birthday, Kaitlyn!

I cannot believe my first girl is 12 today. Seems like just yesterday I was a nervous wreck to be a mom for the first time! Kaitlyn is a wonderful daughter! She is always so kind and a great big sister. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body and would do anything for anyone! She is turning into a beautiful young lady and is so much fun! Kait is a gifted athlete who is very competitive.( hmmm who does she get that from?) She has a great sense of humor and is also a great artist! Kaitlyn, Happy Birthday! I am so proud to be your mom and I can't wait for the great memories we will make as you grow up! I love you!

Happy 9th Birthday, Kassidy!

Today is my Kassidy's 9th Birthday! I cannot believe it. Seems like just yesterday I was trying to balance having a newborn with a very feisty 3 yr old. Kassidy is such a sweet, special girl. She reminds me everyday of my mom and I truly believe that she was a gift to me from her. Kassidy is a wonderful little girl. She is one who always has her "cup full" and everything in the world good. She is always kind, sweet, and willing to help. She always tries her hardest and is well liked by all her friends.She also has a great sense of humor and cracks me up on a daily basis. I can tell you this girl will grow up to be a teacher. This is what she loves to play most its very endearing to see her run a class of dolls. Kassidy, I love you more than all the shoes in the shoe store and I am so proud to be your mom. I can't wait to see the beautiful young woman your already turning into.

Kassidy's Special Day

We're doing something different for Kaitlyn and Kassidy's birthday this year. We decided that since we're saving our money for Disneyland that each of the girls would get a special day to go our and do whatever they want. We had Kassidy's special day last night and had a wonderful time. We brought along Kassidy's BFF Gabby and headed out to Build a Bear to make a bear. The girls had a great time.From there went to Red Robin for dinner and then to the movie Hotel for Dogs. Kass has being dying to see it since she saw the previews a few months back and it was really cute. We had a great day and Kassidy was as happy as can be...I can't believe she will be 9 tomorrow.
