Hoofprints in the sand ... love it!
Last weekend at Hunting Island...love it here!

Our little digger...

Kendall's first trip to the beach...she loved it!

Kendie and her dad!

There were horses at the beach...it was so pretty!

Casey's first trip to Chuck E Cheese last Friday!

Deciding what to do next!?

Check out Ms. Crazy Hair??!

LOVES to eat!

And it's a good thing we did the beach and Chuck E Cheese last week...

Because Miss Casey broke her right tibia on Tuesday night...

She was jumping on the neighbors trampoline -- with just one other girl, and must have landed wrong...

She'll be in the cast for 4-6 weeks...our poor girl. She seems in good spirits today (now that pain has subsided) and next week she can start trying to walk on it using a walking shoe.

Hope all is well with the rest of you~~the weather here has been beautiful and we are enjoying as much time outside as we can. You can see above what Casey's been up to. Kendall is now rolling over both ways (tummy to back and reverse). She is eating almost all her veggies now...she LOVES to eat! She fits right in! Ha ha ha!

More soon~~~
Love to all~~
Katie, Kyle, Casey, Kendall and Jim

Enjoying being on her tummy more and more!

Big sister!

Little sister!

Casey at Island Playground for Jake's birthday. Funny thing--we got there and all she wanted to do was play dress up and "cook" in the kitchen...we could've stayed home for that!?! Ha ha!

Jake and Elise played in the kitchen, too!

Casey enjoying the Dinosaur Bouncer!

Cole checks out the slide!

Hi all,

Hope everyone is doing well. Not too much new and exciting to report down here. We had a few really beautiful days of weather down here and enjoyed the outdoor time. Now, as I type this, it is raining and about 45 degrees. Ugh!

Girls are great. Kendall learned to roll from her back to her belly this past week. We think she is also working hard on cutting a tooth, fun! Casey is having fun at school learning about modes of transportation and shapes. She really looks forward to going to school and loves her "school friends"!

I have been busy keeping up with the girls and home, started doing Zumba (on video)--Casey loves to join in, and trying hard to get caught up on organizing and printing all of our photos since Casey was born--I finally got prints of her first birthday made!

Kyle is always busy with work, but he has begun the winter improvements of our boat. He is working on replacing some hardware, has ordered a new biminy cover, and will work on some more paint this spring. Pictures to follow!

Hope you are all doing well and hope to see you soon~~~

XOXO~
Katie, Kyle, Casey, Kendall and Jim

MOVE THAT BUS!!!

For those of you who didn't know, I volunteered last night from 6pm-12am with Extreme Home Makeover!! A lucky Marine and his family were chosen, read more about their story at:

http://www.extrememakeoverbeaufortcounty.com/

It was A LOT of work, very wet, but very fun and rewarding. We didn't have any production cameras on set while we were there...and I spent about five hours out in the rain doing very "un-glamorous" things--like hauling trash, extra supplies, etc into trailers and dumpsters...but I did get to do some landscaping (planting plants and flowers) and I carried in a footboard to one of the bedrooms!!!

Below you'll find a few pictures (taken from my phone) so not so great quality...ENJOY!!!

Front of the house
Some of the landscaping/mulching that we did!

Busy, busy, busy!


Lovely--I had about 5 layers on!!

I forgot to mention...I LOVED the house from the exterior...interior was not really my favorite, but VERY nice!

Casey dressed herself like "Sally" from the Cat in the Hat movie (Dakota Fanning)...

Easy Baking =)

There are no words for this one...and yes, he was totally stuck like this...

And here is Casey singing "I'm a Little Snowman"...

Once she starts singing it, the words are:

I'm a little snowman, short and fat.

Here are my buttons, here is my hat.

When the sun comes out I can not stay.

Slowly, slowly I melt away!
