Kline Family: October 2008

Uncle Mike comes to visit!

Uncle Mike came to visit for a nice long weekend....

Uncle Mike and Evie meet for the first time!!

Ali and Uncle Mike did a LOT of cuddling :)

Evie wanted to try some of his coffee!

Mommy and her baby

Ali playing piano with Mike

And doing some reading together!

While Mike was here, Evelyn tried cereal for the first time!

Ali thought that was pretty neat!

We also went swimming and Ali had a blast!

She went down the water slide over and over and over again, and had SO much fun!

We also had fun teaching Ali how to go under water

After working up an appetite swimming and watching football, we went out for fajitas! :) yummy...

We had a fantastic time with Mike :) Ali sure loves her uncles!

... more of October!!

Daddy was home with the girls one lunch time, and these two pics of the girls resulted... Ali sure loves yogurt lately!!

One night, while daddy was at work, mommy attempted to give Ali a bath, here is what she saw while she sat beside the tub:

Ali playing in the tub

Maggie wanting in on the action

Evie, watching from outside the bathroom

And the girls relaxing on the bed afterwards:)

Evie graduated up to the big bath seat so Ali and Evie got to have their first bath together!!

Evie thinks her sister is hilarious!

Our girls
(Even in the bath Evelyn can't leave her toes alone!)

She's growing up!!

Finally, we would like to introduce the newest addition to the Kline home:

No, it's not another kid, nor another pet (2 kids, a cat, and a dog are enough for us at the moment) it's our pellet stove! We are excited to be warm this winter!!

Ali's first hair cut!

I know, I know, she was 25 1/2 months, but Ali did have her first haircut and that was pretty crazy for mommy! I am glad we did it, as she looks beautiful (it's funny how much thicker her hair looks once the wispy baby ends are gone) but she seems so much older now! Ali was fantastic - sat still and just watched what was going on.

Here's the proof:

The 'bad mom' blog

So, this is my "Bad Mom" post... a few shots of things that I'm not too proud of, but are just too cute/funny not to share :)

I was working at the kitchen table while Ali was sitting beside me making a picture with stickers... I look over to see that she has made her own eye patch out of heart stickers! I guess I wasn't paying enough attention to her....

This day I was cooking dinner and I looked over to find Ali ON the kitchen table trying to feed her little sister a bottle... a glass bottle...

I was in the kitchen doing the dishes (sounds like I'm ALWAYS in the kitchen!) and I hear a thud and then "C'you help me?" and I go in to find this - Ali's chair tipped over and she did nothing about it, just waited for me to come pull her up by the hand... this was too cute to not take a picture before helping her up :)

Ha! She will hate me for this one day, but how cute is that! My poor girl is too skinny for all the pants that are the right length, so we got a great bum shot!

* no children were injured during any of these 'bad mom' moment*

a couple weeks ago

This post is dedicated to Emily and Patti, who faithfully check our blog even though I don't faithfully blog :)

So, I haven't posted much lately, as things have been busy, but here's some new pictures!!

Shopping at Kent's... Ali loves this shopping cart, and was so excited to have Evie join her!

My girls just love to cuddle!

Ali, teaching Evie how to play with this toy

She got it! (And loves it!)

While Evie was busy with that, Ali decided to take her letters from her puzzle and put one in each square of the quilt... I wonder what makes kids think of these things?
