Our famous Miss Brooklyn

Kynadi's Preschool had an open house to make the community aware of the needs of the CDC, so we attended to show support. Anyway, while we were there the local newspaper was there as well. They snapped some pictures of the kids playing and apparently Brooklyn was soo cute they had to put her on the FRONT page of the Rocket Miner. Here she is in all her glory. Poor Kynadi though didn't understand why she didn't get to be in it too. Made me feel bad for her. Maybe she'll have her turn someday too. This is why living in a small town is so nice.

The caption says, "PLAYTIME -- Two-year-old Brooklyn Fairchild practices her hand-eye coordination during a Child Developmental Center open house Monday night. Center workers say space and budget constraints may prevent them from growing and limit existing services."

Pics of the Kids

Jen Wiberg took these great pics of the kids back in the beginning of September and I'm just getting around to posting them. She did a great job. I LOVE them. Of course they are my kids, but they're all so cute!

Who couldn't love this kid??

Linken is growing up fast. Today I probably had 4 people tell me how big he has gotten in the past two weeks. He didn't have his helmet on at church today, so that may have made him look different, but he's sure changing a lot. He's getting two more teeth on the bottom, bringing the total to 6 teeth now. He likes using these teeth to bite my shoulder any chance he gets, which is unpleasant in every way. He has just started, in the last two weeks or so, pulling himself up to stand against whatever he can. Tonight I had to go rescue him three different times as he pulled himself up to stand in the crib but then hasn't quite figured out how to sit back down. It cracks me up, even if he was supposed to be sleeping. I mean look at the face in these pictures, how could you get mad at that?!?!?

C is for Cookie

I'm doing a little preschool with Brooklyn and three other little kids. The moms and I take turns once a week for an hour and a half teaching what you can to a group of 2 year olds. I was worried Brooklyn wouldn't go without me, but so far she has loved it. I think she likes that she gets to go to preschool just like Kynadi, little does she know how vastly different they are.
Well, this week preschool was at our house. We had the letter C, and of course that stands for cookie. So for one of our activities we made sugar cookies into the letter C. I think the kids had fun, and they are all so cute and such a great group. Here's some pics our our cookie adventures.

First Snow

My girls love when it snows and a couple weeks ago we had our first good snow storm. We woke up to snow covering everything. It wasn't the snow to make a snowman out of but still good for playing in. I love the white covered streets and one of my favorite things is to drink hot chocolate on a cold winter's night.

Scripture Case

This one if for Mindy. Here is the scripture case I made for my little neighbor Caitlin. If you want one for Kels let me know Mindy.

Swim Swim

I can't believe I'm wasting my time posting about Brynn's 10 cent fish that has lived far too long, but here he/she? is. If it wasn't for Corbyn and Landen, Brynn you'd be out of luck. I don't know if you can tell in the pic but the fish has definitely grown. Maybe some day the blasted fish will die, but for now it lives on.
