Here we are at 5 years old and it is crazy! I have memories from when I was 5. 5 is definitely not a toddler anymore. 5 is when you start kindergarten...elementary school! Julianna is still so little yet she seems so big to me. She is incredibly smart, and funny, and silly, and sensitive, and beautiful, and such a love. She loves her sister (sometimes a little too much). She loves princess anything, barbies, dressing up, click clack shoes as she likes to call them, painting her nails, dessert. This girl is a GIRLY girl!<br />
I am so thankful for my little beauty that God has blessed us with. Happy birthday Julianna!<br />

So much fun, but I am thankful to be coming into fall with a little routine:) Yes, I will miss the sunny weather, and summer activities within a few months, but I love this time of year. Julianna just started pre-kindergarten and will be five in a couple of months, and Everly is as active and cute as ever. I just love these girls that God has blessed us with. (so much so that I would really like another:) ).<br />

I cannot believe that she is one and that I don't have a baby anymore. It is definitely bitter sweet because she is just so darn cute right now, but I L-O-V-E-D the baby stage with her. Maybe it is because she has been the easiest baby, like sleeping 7 hours at a time by the time she was 3 weeks old kind of easy (sorry if I am bragging). OR maybe it is because I don't know that we are going to have any more kids so it is hard to imagine that my "baby" is no longer a baby. Everly is the sweetest little thing. I always say that she has a sensitive soul because you can practically just look at her the wrong way and she gets sad...bless her little heart. She is not walking yet, but manages to get around just fine. This girl could beat anyone in a crawling race I am sure:) I sometimes feel like I just chase her around all day. Everly loves her sister so much and already wants to do everything she does. It melts my heart to see them together.<div>Happy birthday to my sweet Everly. Man I love that girl!</div><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsefDEv3Zgv_T6rG7UySxi8wUV2z9uKzuHkIbGLqlV8PONL4Rc14j-EXm1lMzE65eZ2JhYeH8oh7Iy5KbmCwoIVT5EU21nZPR2UTOql0pCKSx2F5QDlTISdLmRaIUS3muxLfbErF4ll9A/s320/P1020684.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikjPXvWV7VQQmuZGNbEMxbukqIKxqcn88t89spl0a4K3keyiMKYFb0eMjoa_ClPxVWOJpQZlZNdVJ2RZ2w4gkJYt93pM99sshgjKoRl-ST4ue0c4E9IbsKXwJYLjq_LJfwk5E-4m3fR9Y/s1600/P1020691.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikjPXvWV7VQQmuZGNbEMxbukqIKxqcn88t89spl0a4K3keyiMKYFb0eMjoa_ClPxVWOJpQZlZNdVJ2RZ2w4gkJYt93pM99sshgjKoRl-ST4ue0c4E9IbsKXwJYLjq_LJfwk5E-4m3fR9Y/s320/P1020691.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5710253446297271122" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Birthday dinner at Claim Jumper</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2AEdxE1QwvS3xO_wQqalPQl_5Ul8UeVZHjMtdl5s3nJd7GVzMP8XWOjh_JuXhdPDySCioZ1vDGsvXsY08UYTt_D2YI7bGGGC5vmZJJQt7kgRscv2pEEMKGm_7fWroDNezjnaC6grIcjs/s320/P1020667.JPG" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Not so sure about the cake</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6zvdaxV_jcmeOqgetfaOm-ZXVSRMPAga8LCwpRW0vmv-WsaGh3DzHKhE6SiUumNE2VS7Ym5zIB6vRbEEO1mz0G4lw_B81aK8dk4L_5QJgrBQ6MOH2rGhQazkm5aj3m8s0kILLaBcAMLo/s1600/P1020675.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6zvdaxV_jcmeOqgetfaOm-ZXVSRMPAga8LCwpRW0vmv-WsaGh3DzHKhE6SiUumNE2VS7Ym5zIB6vRbEEO1mz0G4lw_B81aK8dk4L_5QJgrBQ6MOH2rGhQazkm5aj3m8s0kILLaBcAMLo/s320/P1020675.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5710250176880758482" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This cake thing is serious business!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div>kyla_ruckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317026490475220447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903627200819654281.post-4875540147891989852012-01-10T10:18:00.000-08:002012-01-10T10:33:00.172-08:00Oh Canada<div>We made a trip to Jeremy's parent's house this past weekend.

My BABY is 4. She clearly is not a baby anymore but, as you moms know, they will always be your baby. Julianna woke up this morning and the first thing I told her was that I was so excited that she wears big girl underwear to bed now (which was just recently accomplished), and she responded "well I am so excited that I am 4". It is ALL that we have been talking about lately so she knew that today was the day. She <i>obviously</i> wanted to wear her sleeping beauty dress and crown for her birthday outfit so we put that on and made blueberry pancakes with whipped cream for breakfast. Her and her daddy went to the library to get some new books so that I could have some time to get ready for her little birthday party with her friends. Julianna was full of energy today, and barely took time to breath. We ate cupcakes and ice cream sundaes, played pin the tail on the donkey, and opened presents. From all of the excitement/chaos :) by the time her party was almost over, she was in tears, completely exhausted and sooo ready for a nap. THANK YOU JESUS that she still naps:) After her nap she said that she wants to go to Azteca for her birthday dinner....a girl after my own heart. Then we will skype with grandma and grandpa in Canada and I imagine after that, she will be SO ready for bed! My little princess is 4, and I can hardly believe it.</div>

Julianna is well into preschool and having a blast. She is quite a social little thing and I so enjoy watching her interact with other kids....as long as she is not crying or bossing them around which tends to happen here and there:). If she is in a new place with children she doesn't know, I have seen her walk up to someone, introduce herself and ask them if they would like to play with her. She is very independent now, wanting to do everything herself. She really is changing from a toddler, to a little girl, and I have to admit that as great as it is to see her be a little more independent, it also makes me sad. Especially when I look back at pictures and see that not so long ago, she still looked so little. She is very impressionable and wants to copy EVERYTHING that Jeremy and I do. We are realizing that now we really have to watch everything we say and do around her, because even if she doesn't look like she is listening or observing, SHE IS:)</div>

Sweet little Everly is just that. S-W-E-E-T. She loves to cuddle, and laughs at anything her sister does. She sucks her thumb, usually when she is tired, which is adorable, but I keep thinking that 3 or 4 years from now it won't be so cute:) She just cut her first tooth and is working on the second one, and even through that, her fussiness only includes an occasional grunt here and there. She is seriously such a joy, and dare I say it, easy baby:) I know things can change, but so far, so good which is making me want a 3rd...Jeremy?????</div>

Goodbye summer. Fall is creeping up on us and I have to admit, I am looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong....I LOVE the sun and warmth, but I also love the changing of seasons with the cool mornings, changing of all of the leaves, and lattes! Julianna started preschool yesterday and I am pretty sure that I was more excited than her, and she was pretty excited:) She marched into her school, and as we walked past her old classroom I did get a little teary eyed. I can't believe my baby is in her second year of preschool already. She looked so big next to the little 2 year olds. It does go FAST!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here's to a little more routine, those pumpkin spice lattes everyone talks about, and for everything that these fall months have to offer:) </div>

Being a mommy, the blessing that it is, is not always glamorous(to say the least:) ) Some days I am exhausted, don't feel well, low in the patience department, etc. I love my sweet babies to death, but they take ALOT of energy! The other day I was exhausted for some reason, and Everly was napping and Julianna wanted me to play with her outside. She wanted to race me. It's her newest thing. I told her I would and begged the Lord to give me strength to play with Julianna, because I did not know where that energy would come from if it wasn't from Him! In the back of my mind I am always aware that these precious days that my daughter wants to race me, or play with me outside will go quickly so I don't want to pass up on the opportunities to do so. Right after I asked the Lord for energy to do this race:), across the yard, unprovoked, Julianna looks up at me and spreads her arms wide and says "mommy, I love you so much". It melted my heart and definitely made playing with my daughter in that moment, exhaustion and all, worth it. So, we raced and Julianna (of course) beat me, and though I was still tired at least I was able to race with a smile on my face.kyla_ruckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317026490475220447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903627200819654281.post-16870077166914431452011-08-16T15:44:00.000-07:002011-08-16T15:55:38.869-07:00One proud mamaThe other night as we were tucking Julianna in for bed I told her that we were going to go to the gym in the morning and she asked if she could bring some money from her piggy bank to give to kids who don't have any money. I of course said yes. In the morning the first thing that she said to me was that she wanted to get money from her piggy bank so she could bring it with her to the gym. I pulled down her piggy bank and she took three dollars from it, although she wanted to take all of the money from it, and put it in her little box to take to the gym. We belong to the YMCA and there are kids who need scholarships for camps and other things, so they do accept donations. Julianna marched in and told the lady that she wanted to give some money to kids who didn't have any. The lady looked to me to make sure that it was ok to take her money, and I assured her that I wasn't going to say no to her, if she had chosen on her own, to do something like this. They were very impressed and took her picture and said that they were going to put it up to show that she was a donor. I know that I am bragging, but this is a proud moment in a mama's life that her 3 year old would think of others and their needs without me prompting her to. Love this girl:)kyla_ruckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317026490475220447noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903627200819654281.post-66068042686546524302011-08-10T14:20:00.000-07:002011-08-10T14:30:38.102-07:0030<div>I am 30. 30 is a big milestone. In contemplating my life and where I am at at 30, I have realized how incredibly blessed and happy I am. At 30 I am married to an AMAZING man who seriously thinks about mine and the girls' needs before his own. I have 2 stunning little ladies that I get to call mine...thank you Jesus. I get to spend everyday raising these beautiful girls. I am so blessed to be there through their tears, diaper changes, laughter, discoveries, and all of their firsts. I am exactly where I have always desired to be in life at this moment. 30 definitely isn't so bad:)</div><div>

I of course love my children so much no matter what, but lately I am overwhelmed by the love that I have for these little gals. Julianna is at such a fun age and understands so much. We are able to go have a Starbucks together (I know it seems a little young to get her started), we paint our nails, we cook together, we dance together, and we laugh so much together. She is my best little bud and I enjoy her so much. Everly is seriously the SWEETEST baby you could ever get your hands on. She just hangs out most of the time with big smiles. I often times will turn on our video monitor just to see her sleep.

I stopped the other day and just watched her as she was doing something silly and thought to myself, I love having a little girl who loves puddles, dirt, and toy cars, as much as she loves wearing a "fancy" dress (as she puts it) everyday, nail polish, lipgloss, and being a little drama queen. I am not kidding when I say that she can make herself cry on the spot. She is so nurturing and loving, and always tells me that she loves me and I am so grateful for the relationship that we have already. When I found out that we were having Everly, I was so excited to have more of the dirt, dresses, and drama that we already have in our household and looked forward to the relationship that Julianna and Everly would have some day. I didn't think that there would be much in the way of relationship so early on but Julianna LOVES, LOVES, LOVES Everly. She wants to wake her up every morning, help me put her down for naps, and kiss and hug her every night before bed. She often will hold her hand while watching a show or sitting on my bed and talks to her all of the time. And it is not completely one sided. Everly's face lights up when she sees Julianna. She smiles at her, and follows her with her eyes. I cannot wait to see their relationship unfold as they get older and pray that they will be the best of friends as they grow up...with maybe a few years of bickering in between:) Boy am I blessed!</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Girls</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDoEiX258llgLo5vwPCucJ6Z8wp6GxWW2vi2_6JFL2wUox2XtLXygytKFfWtdLggY9PCIHXLUv0n5piQpFVD9N-3_Fl4s2piZdkN3gSP6I1Dts7v6Ho597h2d-kfwTuFsVOAJLCyZAP0s/s1600/DSCF3322.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDoEiX258llgLo5vwPCucJ6Z8wp6GxWW2vi2_6JFL2wUox2XtLXygytKFfWtdLggY9PCIHXLUv0n5piQpFVD9N-3_Fl4s2piZdkN3gSP6I1Dts7v6Ho597h2d-kfwTuFsVOAJLCyZAP0s/s400/DSCF3322.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588149933786455602" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Holding hands while Julianna watches her morning show</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0-X0cTT3PmhScLV16SRgPg8NbL8ECCAEXf9nI31M-z9K8Svdrc9RuwMv0Tj3rqQGTlPk-WgyKRyAte-uicMoPH1tFTV64hoqDVm1-HUGD5uCJmRHgyMscIPFKQGLi31xJ8ZgzXOtR4dg/s1600/DSCF3340.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0-X0cTT3PmhScLV16SRgPg8NbL8ECCAEXf9nI31M-z9K8Svdrc9RuwMv0Tj3rqQGTlPk-WgyKRyAte-uicMoPH1tFTV64hoqDVm1-HUGD5uCJmRHgyMscIPFKQGLi31xJ8ZgzXOtR4dg/s400/DSCF3340.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588149926988688946" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This is how Julianna really feels about Everly</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_z5VjDiu_N_PEeY0x046_WHe7CX0xX3IOOiZ3F4cL5DG7WprVr0AgHKnQU376xJVjpjg0JKDrHRFZg9ZCmrBIkRg_v3bkTf1BlTDfyg7c5yZbWpAOb7Pv-s_fs3ikDaDJWDlRwJTu8FY/s1600/DSCF3320.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_z5VjDiu_N_PEeY0x046_WHe7CX0xX3IOOiZ3F4cL5DG7WprVr0AgHKnQU376xJVjpjg0JKDrHRFZg9ZCmrBIkRg_v3bkTf1BlTDfyg7c5yZbWpAOb7Pv-s_fs3ikDaDJWDlRwJTu8FY/s400/DSCF3320.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588149423084709634" /></a>kyla_ruckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317026490475220447noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903627200819654281.post-13511942405664527512011-02-18T08:03:00.001-08:002011-02-20T08:44:01.301-08:00My Valentines<div>If you know me, you know that I LOVE Valentine's day. I love everything about it. The cheesy cards, flowers, candy, dinner, dessert. The excuse to decorate the dinner table with hearts and candles. I love it even more now that I have my two girls. Jeremy and I were able to go out to dinner this year because a lovely friend offered to babysit which was such a treat seeing as how I thought it would be quite awhile to be able to go on a date WITHOUT kids now that we have two. Growing up, my mom always made Valentine's day a special occasion for our whole family. She would block off the dining room so we couldn't see it until dinner time and would decorate the table with candy, candles, hearts, special plates and napkins, and usually a little gift at each of our plates. She would make a special dinner which usually included crab legs and I would get soooo excited anticipating our Valentine's dinner all day. Because of all of this excitement of Valentine's day growing up I still get excited for this day that so many consider silly. Each year since we have had kids we have done a special dinner with the table decorated. The last couple of years we have done it with the rest of the family and kids as well. I look forward to continuing this tradition with our girls as they get older ( since usually no one wants to babysit on Valentine's day anyways:)). I am so thankful for my 3 Valentines!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfUwFKIsIbDG3vWar9j5bySeciBY2Hm6kBFSMWGMfTP-vs_qh-IHg-7j12_6FhdXDF4Ow4cGzrldPml2MQWb6bpfq13vmo7KD5Hr1fTwgdDVFisOctVY8xfCNwB04HMBcG8A4Y9g_o2P4/s1600/DSCF3249-vdayeverly.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfUwFKIsIbDG3vWar9j5bySeciBY2Hm6kBFSMWGMfTP-vs_qh-IHg-7j12_6FhdXDF4Ow4cGzrldPml2MQWb6bpfq13vmo7KD5Hr1fTwgdDVFisOctVY8xfCNwB04HMBcG8A4Y9g_o2P4/s320/DSCF3249-vdayeverly.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575065426375639170" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLVntHVBDyZp4vRm6bjcRnzoyBk-rLoya2imTpzEz6Z_OL9XJYPmrXzdKNbdEtlsYQl1KpJz-Ip-Yga8JOjAYxn-zl-2OiZYiO_2M_gBSSfWqNgD5OVh703RDxWyF0zw6waSc52nSyOio/s1600/DSCF3248-+v-day+jules.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLVntHVBDyZp4vRm6bjcRnzoyBk-rLoya2imTpzEz6Z_OL9XJYPmrXzdKNbdEtlsYQl1KpJz-Ip-Yga8JOjAYxn-zl-2OiZYiO_2M_gBSSfWqNgD5OVh703RDxWyF0zw6waSc52nSyOio/s320/DSCF3248-+v-day+jules.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575065419554673266" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifSIKymRUuwUL0KQ7y_zuxePL9Raseb39D7cHxRee-L45I18wJ2lfAb2yKrVFq8mmdQBjKlMeuSe532F2Bnwj3qUIZ9Tvwn9dcvf-0AWh6H0TCLYP0GNgj_HfDHdFc9V9ZlfiqFIvR8mE/s1600/DSCF3253.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifSIKymRUuwUL0KQ7y_zuxePL9Raseb39D7cHxRee-L45I18wJ2lfAb2yKrVFq8mmdQBjKlMeuSe532F2Bnwj3qUIZ9Tvwn9dcvf-0AWh6H0TCLYP0GNgj_HfDHdFc9V9ZlfiqFIvR8mE/s320/DSCF3253.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575061921658057122" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifqTcwh-fP5T88SqFoxmvhs_AmoNaOSM66jaiR9LTlM6PbClJf9-Y27dI7ny07By1-OH5dNW3Qpe-aBpl8CClnO8uJluIL6Mi8PubhJytRzg6isbnfmw0vdjAuuyLEIJRfZPpbvENoNLA/s1600/DSCF3278.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifqTcwh-fP5T88SqFoxmvhs_AmoNaOSM66jaiR9LTlM6PbClJf9-Y27dI7ny07By1-OH5dNW3Qpe-aBpl8CClnO8uJluIL6Mi8PubhJytRzg6isbnfmw0vdjAuuyLEIJRfZPpbvENoNLA/s320/DSCF3278.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575061917944205266" /></a><span><span><br /></span></span>kyla_ruckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317026490475220447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903627200819654281.post-45475706706151507712011-01-21T08:13:00.000-08:002011-01-21T08:38:59.337-08:00She's Here!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJNUoh_O05MEdtrQxMOWS7Cr5sDqegT8Om5_R3DjStMXKYzrL8U0M0DFnoVswOaTtkGUECFVZijlw2H-QlnLfhJZENU2Ma5SGVEDoLrAuNpMiZ6zWv4CaAFbh_Vt-HNnmpPUNLlTTy6ZU/s1600/SAM_1464.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJNUoh_O05MEdtrQxMOWS7Cr5sDqegT8Om5_R3DjStMXKYzrL8U0M0DFnoVswOaTtkGUECFVZijlw2H-QlnLfhJZENU2Ma5SGVEDoLrAuNpMiZ6zWv4CaAFbh_Vt-HNnmpPUNLlTTy6ZU/s320/SAM_1464.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564679308788436418" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwOMIYEjT1yk-PVtWxnTTuKhqLm8B0DFrNjXUxW2_n14WCiF3hL5tOGlbVXgv-GYyYusRQQq0mMepCXjLij_B3hfVn3MdRd8XoADa13r06A3rMbtd-92jPHw3qbEO_otouy1_koRCcDxg/s1600/SAM_1464.JPG"></a><span><span></span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9txAb53PCkjfnm-i49Yv7Vsuau1CRYnrgWqAHQOMqioerJFWurfYx836MO03C-79kCY9rPrxMXue6jPk6kIwn_T6ka1qsWAu1sFlqg-h3y-Be85bGMjXkOqR38B5tjMTChMhyphenhyphen4eUUC2E/s1600/SAM_1462.JPG"></a><span><span></span></span><br />Sweet little Everly has arrived and we are all so in love. She (so far) is an easy baby as she pretty much just sleeps, and wakes up to eat and look around for a little while, and then goes back to sleep. She was born on January 16th at 7:10 pm after checking into the hospital at noon on that day, so it was a relatively short labor. Her birth was an amazingly calm, and joy filled experience (after the epidural of course:) ). She came into this world very alert with her big eyes not shutting for at least 6 hours. She has her sister's eyes, which makes mama happy because of course, I think Julianna has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. <div>Julianna has done a wonderful job being a big sister, giving Everly kisses, and hugs. It is so heartwarming to seeing our TWO little girls together, and more fulfilling than I thought I would feel at this point. </div><div>I feel beyond blessed to have two healthy and perfect little girls, and a husband that I could not imagine life without. The first morning at home, I woke up to a sleeping baby on my chest, and hearing the most adorable three year old voice belting out "Jesus Loves Me" from her bedroom. Does it get any better than that?!</div>kyla_ruckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317026490475220447noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903627200819654281.post-65098785421327043312011-01-14T07:31:00.000-08:002011-02-20T08:42:34.949-08:00The things she saysI wanted to write about a few of the things that my sweet, innocent, beautiful daughter has figured out in the whole 3 years she has been on this earth, so that I won't forget. I love this little girl with all of my heart and she continually makes me laugh....especially when I am not supposed to. Quite awhile ago we were trying to get out the door and I wanted her to put a jacket on. She clearly did not want to and proceeded to run into the bathroom, slam the door and scream "I am never coming out of here!" Seriously, I have no idea where she learned that from. I haven't done that in years:) <div>Another thing we have been having some trouble with are words that aren't necessarily bad words, but words you don't want your child repeating over and over. "Poop" has been one of those words and we have explained to her that the only time we say that word is when we are in the bathroom. The other night she started saying "poo" so we reminded her that we can talk about that when we are in the bathroom. She explained to us that she was actually talking about winnie the pooh, (while giggling). She knew full well what she was doing...she was working the system! Jer and I tried to turn our heads and laugh so she wouldn't see us.</div><div>Last night Jer asked Julianna to help him clean up her toys so she could go and take a bath. I was upstairs getting the bath ready. She then said to her dad "oh I think I heard mommy call me" (which she did not). She then yelled up the stairs, "What mom? What's that mom!" She was fully trying to get out of cleaning up her toys. Oh my....</div><div>This little stinker is only 3 and already she is figuring so many things out, like how to manipulate the system. She knows she is funny as when she says these things she giggles at herself. I am a little worried at what we have in store for us as she gets older since she is clearly one smart cookie!</div><div><br /></div>kyla_ruckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317026490475220447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903627200819654281.post-69678650516950620152010-11-25T08:22:00.000-08:002010-11-25T09:02:33.383-08:00SNOW!!!<div>All I have to say is I-LOVE-THE-SNOW! I am a bit surprised it came so early this year, but if this is a sign of what our winter has in store for us, I am looking forward to it. The other day Julianna and I were stranded at home, which I must admit, I thought I would go stir crazy, but we had such a great snow day together. We read books, played with her dolls, played with stickers, played in the snow, drank hot chocolate, and made dinner together. I asked her that morning what she wanted to do for the day and jokingly suggested that maybe we should shave our legs and paint our nails to which she promptly replied "mommy, I am not old enough to do that". Of course <b>I</b> know she is not old enough to shave her legs, but the fact that she knows that made me laugh.

I cannot believe that my baby girl is three already. She seems so grown up, and is a smart, funny, silly, beautiful, sweet little girl and believe me, I am proud to be her mama! On her actual birthday, before we came downstairs to eat her heart birthday pancake with whipped cream, she had to put on her crown, clip on earrings, and cinderella necklace. She is very much into to dressing up and princesses. We celebrated Thursday with two of her friends that have birthdays the same week, then again on Friday for her actual birthday, and yet again on Saturday for her little party. Needless to say, she woke up Sunday morning asking if it was her birthday again. She dressed like a princess all three of the days that we celebrated, and even now is wearing a crown:) I love this little princess with all of my heart and I am beginning to understand now when everyone says it goes so fast so I had better enjoy every second. I am enjoying Julianna (and her "princess" ways) so much and I am so proud of who she is becoming. Happy birthday baby girl!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Family picture at her little party</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-CnbBkMso8GIe2Q2b8nMQq7irFGIy45DyDwlHTAcBVMpMD2tKsJKeqTvZWrkTg8GOGUPsTYOENN6PhhGre3KoT78diZxlOLXPizdnzg4Uu_-hDpMB91yHF08QgVkM_sIrilWMRkm1jWU/s1600/DSCF3110.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-CnbBkMso8GIe2Q2b8nMQq7irFGIy45DyDwlHTAcBVMpMD2tKsJKeqTvZWrkTg8GOGUPsTYOENN6PhhGre3KoT78diZxlOLXPizdnzg4Uu_-hDpMB91yHF08QgVkM_sIrilWMRkm1jWU/s320/DSCF3110.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539583985807817810" /></a><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">At a princess party with her friends Kaya and Lily and the "real" princess</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi11Wt4wj1C2MykpNe6pR81rU2ZOK-TM8eOV33f2gw2ZTcrthn9Sk2SWVML2daPAD8HzqWQfsI_Upr3ohWJuleRr4FYmJ8tPAq79iiAW4-Vg7hNdIaha517DdKpzEoSsPweMwi5MgMdlVI/s1600/DSCF3064.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi11Wt4wj1C2MykpNe6pR81rU2ZOK-TM8eOV33f2gw2ZTcrthn9Sk2SWVML2daPAD8HzqWQfsI_Upr3ohWJuleRr4FYmJ8tPAq79iiAW4-Vg7hNdIaha517DdKpzEoSsPweMwi5MgMdlVI/s320/DSCF3064.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539583547094500370" /></a><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Eating her birthday breakfast</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJp8U1M3bmNAtGMkcVTOWmXLSnoyJ9qA8GV3McJJaJaKTV5inBvkiPBp2PMi-n9_qNnvxeU1l-B3aA8zi7bcH0qGoGzshncKKvfsr0tKXACozLjdC90euP-PrHtKEOYBOxwp20SBdHaFs/s1600/DSCF3084.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJp8U1M3bmNAtGMkcVTOWmXLSnoyJ9qA8GV3McJJaJaKTV5inBvkiPBp2PMi-n9_qNnvxeU1l-B3aA8zi7bcH0qGoGzshncKKvfsr0tKXACozLjdC90euP-PrHtKEOYBOxwp20SBdHaFs/s320/DSCF3084.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539580614704711618" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Singing happy birthday to her</div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dySAlFoCZl-s6lbuzonFL7A3lzxGfgeRSE77u-_28L2CBfcEmJxpPEXK--m9xMl_5uWZ32TV9k7tUQcqRMF5A' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>kyla_ruckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317026490475220447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903627200819654281.post-73151748320167407552010-11-03T18:06:00.000-07:002010-11-03T18:21:42.545-07:00Trick or Treat!<div>This was not the first year that Julianna dressed up for halloween, but it was the first year that she was able to go trick-or-treating. She got to go with some of her little friends, and let me tell you...she LOVED the idea of going house to house yelling "trick or treat!" and getting candy in return. In fact, she is enjoying some nerds as we speak. Jeremy decided that he was going to dress up as well, which doesn't surprise me, but was a little embarrassing as he was the only adult dressed up:) Here are a few pictures from the night:</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Justus (tiger), Alaina (princess), Julianna (Sleeping Beauty), Ben (Spiderman)</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXC00cvKOLkwC6SZGX85ssQRo6PGNmoQhnqI6qijdVYi8drENNzLm7_yTpkEAbqAenz-pzkDnk6qG4DrDCAnoTPVlR_WhFYPixXXPboUMS-jDKjjVhMFfIcC2I-9Nqgm7OAwt0dKlvmn8/s1600/DSCF3028.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXC00cvKOLkwC6SZGX85ssQRo6PGNmoQhnqI6qijdVYi8drENNzLm7_yTpkEAbqAenz-pzkDnk6qG4DrDCAnoTPVlR_WhFYPixXXPboUMS-jDKjjVhMFfIcC2I-9Nqgm7OAwt0dKlvmn8/s320/DSCF3028.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535497673881980626" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Sleeping Beauty and Creepy the Clown</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2BIef33XnR1cPZTeHuL5suwbXncz7j3XWFMs-BNz-pu4KF-xCypVtuC6skoR01EKM5b4sd_Su49tA9RBCr1QUkcaftvvWq8eXBdK-PiGr_b2ZEZnZhwROCubf5NgK4yU7LF75eOUN8U/s1600/DSCF3015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2BIef33XnR1cPZTeHuL5suwbXncz7j3XWFMs-BNz-pu4KF-xCypVtuC6skoR01EKM5b4sd_Su49tA9RBCr1QUkcaftvvWq8eXBdK-PiGr_b2ZEZnZhwROCubf5NgK4yU7LF75eOUN8U/s320/DSCF3015.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535497667829412706" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>kyla_ruckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07317026490475220447noreply@blogger.com0
