The entire group at the Clinic... This was the most Lil Red Spikers they have had. There were about 350 girls there... yikes!!

Madelyn watching the psych up video "One Heartbeat" in the Huskers "Ready Room" which is where they hang out prior to a match, they can do homework, watch TV or sleep.. it is pretty cool area which is right outside of their locker room. Yah we got to see that too.. :)

Serving at the clinic.

Playing Down by the Banks of the Hanky Panky with Syd...she was so sweet since the girls had a slight meltdown at the clinic to keep them entertained and having fun.

Bumping with Tara at her station - prior to having our meltdown...

Go Huskers!!

All Ready for the Lil Red Spikers Clinic! Here we come!!

Madelyn and Kayleigh participated in the Lil Red Spikers Clinic on Saturday Morning with the Huskers... Other then the overwhelming feeling the girls got because of there being so many people and the tears... I think they had fun.

First Day of School

This is Madelyn and her BFF Alexa.. they are two peas in a pod and ride the bus together.. so cute! I Love that both of them are missing their two front teeth! :)

Madelyn's first Day of school for FIRST GRADE! Eek. I can't hardly believe she is a first grader!! She is getting so big!

wow.. it has been awhile...

Sorry gang.. It has been awhile since I have posted on here. I am lacking on keeping up with this blog.

Here is a funny story for you. The other day were sitting at the table and having supper. We were all talking about our days and Madelyn had said that she saw Mrs. Kvasnicka at school (this was her Kindergarten teacher). Kyle piped up and said I heard her on the radio this morning - (as she is on a Sutton Linder and Sutton eye advertisement for lasik surgery), I pipe up and say I saw her on television for the Sutton Linder commercial she is in. Madelyn laughs and looks at Kayleigh and says "Did you have anything to share with us about seeing or hearing Mrs. Kvasnicka today?" Hilarious!

Don't stick your finger up your nose!!

So I bring the girls home today and they are trying to decide what to do. I remarked that they could go and "pick their noses". So as they are building a fort in the living room I hear Madelyn sing this song... " Don't stick your finger up your nose, cuz your nose knows it is not the place that it goes... you can sniffle you can sneeze but I am asking you.. PAHLEEZE, don't stick your finger up your nose! " I about snorted my drink laughing!!

Kayleigh as she is helping build the fort is singing "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit"...

These girls crack me up!! Enjoy the laughs! we are sure doing that!! :)

Happy Fourth of July!!

On the night of the 3rd of July I noticed that Madelyn's top tooth was really loose. She has been working on this for the last several weeks and the gap between her teeth was getting bigger and bigger. So we decided we could probably pull it quick if she would let us. Well Kyle did the honors and it took 1/2 sec as it was hanging by a thread I think. She talks a little funny now which will make us laugh especially when she tries saying her s's.. :) She left her tooth in a bag for the tooth fairy and got $4 - she was so excited. I guess those top front teeth were in high demand this time of year... Or at least that is what we are guessing. Hope everyone had a great fourth of July!! It was kind of weird having it rain and be awfully chilly... I was out in pants and sweatshirt since it was so cool... weird this year!

Slip-n-Sliding

Kyle came home tonight with a slip and slide for the girls. They had so much fun and we had a lot of laughs watching them this evening.

Dad has to give Kayleigh a little help since she can't get enough umph to get all the way to the other end.

North Platte visit to Grandma's and Cody Park

We just spent this past weekend in North Platte visiting Kyle's Mom. The girls always have loads of fun at Grandma Kim's and we are able to come out and help with some projects around the house. Grandma Kim also uses our visit to make sure that we make a trip to Cody Park for the girls to ride the rides. So Saturday night we spent at the park watching the girls ride the rides and enjoy the yummy ice cream cones.

The girls showing their loot of tickets to ride the Cody Park rides! Oh Boy what fun!!

Kayleigh was a bit apprehensive about this ride the first time and we got the biggest kick out of her when she would try to put her hands up. She was so scared and then finally got the hang of it and was having fun! We got loads of laughs watching her though!!
