Kinlee's 5th Birthday!

So, my baby girl is finally 5!! I can't believe it. Where has time went? Kinlee was soooo excited to turn 5...don't know why but she was. She wanted an Ariel birthday party, so that is what she had!

Kinlee posing with her cake!

My dad had all the girls sitting down telling them stories while we waited for the pizza. His story was all about possum soup that my mom fixes all the time! WOW! The girls were actually believing him.

The girls listening to the stories.

Kinlee finally got the baby she wants!!

Waiting on food...

Baseball anyone?

Kinlee's favorite new thing...

Kinlee received a karaoke machine from my parents for Christmas...thanks mom and dad by the way!! That thing plays 24/7 around this house! She loves singing, so this was right up Kinlee's ally!

Her and Journee singing at Christmas!

Kinlee after she opened it!! "Wow, my own microphone!!"

Help mom...I'm stuck!!

So, this is how I found Kyler...yes that is Kinlee's kitchen!!! He could not figure out how to get out, which was the funny part. Kinlee said Kyler was in his highchair and she was feeding him. OH how Kinlee wants a baby!!!

Chairs are not for sitting...

I am sure this is not what KC's mom intended to be done with these chairs, but this is the new game at our house! They flip back in forth for hours giggling the whole time! So entertaining!!! :)

Pumpkin Patch

Kinlee's class took a field trip to the pumpkin patch. I was able to take 1/2 day off and take Kyler. It was really windy, but overall a great trip. Here are some pictures from the day!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Kyler!

On October 17th, we celebrated Kyler's 2nd birthday. I can't believe it has already been 2 years since our little guy came into this world. We had a wonderful day with family. The weather was awesome, so we were able to spend most of the day outside. Kyler you are such a blessing to us. I love your funny personality that is already coming out. You love to watch any kind of sporting event that requires a ball. I love to hear you yell at Taylor games, as you cheer for whichever team scores! I am so excited about what God has in store for in the future! We love you so much buddy!

Testing out the new golf set...look at that swing.

Eating cake...

All Kyler wanted for his birthday was a bike! He can't ride it, but by spring I'm sure he'll be cruising around.

Kyler was soooo slow opening his presents, it took forever!

more presents...

Cincinnati Reds cake!

One Month Vacation...

Things have been so crazy in our house lately...I've had no time to blog. Really no time to do anything fun! SO I'm going to attempt to get you all caught up on the last month in the Hackman house!

Octoberfest Parade

My dad, my sister, and Jayden took part in the Octoberfest parade this year. My dad and my sister work for a chain of grocery stores in southern Indiana. Their company put on a shopping chart routine, which was great!! Here are a few pics from the parade. Note: Kyler was not a fan AT ALL of the parade.

A Special Visit

The first of October my sister and her daughter Grace were able to visit with us from Seattle. It not very often that we get to see them. The kids and I headed down to Seymour to visit with them. We were able to get some much needed updated photos of them all together. So thankful that they were able to come and visit. We love and miss you guys!

Nana with all the grandkids!

Nana and Poppy with the grandkids...so thankful that everyone is looking!! :)

COUSINS!!!

Grandparent's Day

My mom and KC's mom come up to go with Kinlee to Kiddie Kampus grandparents day. Although I didn't get any pictures of them that day, here is Kinlee singing one of their songs they sung that day. I think this is the cutest song ever!! Thanks so much guys for making the drive!!

Soccer is over!

Kinlee loved playing soccer this year! She was so sad to see it end. All she wanted to do was score a goal when it first started, and she did that. At the last game everyone got a medal, and she wore it for days. What a great experience.

We have our days...

where these two get along so GREAT!! I know it may not always be that way, but I can hope right? I love the way they play together, and how Kinlee is so mothering of Kyler. Yesterday though, he was carrying a purse, and KC about died!! I am one blessed momma!!!

They both ran so fast out the the bathroom the other night, and I found them waiting for me in Kyler's room. I couldn't resist a picture!



Can we both fit in the chair?? Sure we can!

Are you ready for some Football???

We all got dressed in our Colts gear for church yesterday, so we would be ready for the game. Here are some pictures I snapped before church. I am loving Kyler's cheese face that we get in every picture.:)

Can they have a bigger cheese!

KINLEE: Really DUDE?

Is it me or does she look sooooo big!

Such a sweet smile.

MY LOVE!

Labor Day Parade

Yesterday was the BIG Upland Labor Day Parade. This year Kinlee's preschool rode in the parade. She thought it was the greatest thing ever. She has been asking all weekend when it was time for the parade. By the end she was all out of candy, and she had a blast. Kyler, on the other hand, could of cared less about the parade. He simply sat in a seat, and didn't bother to go after any candy. I think that may change in years to come.:)

Some of Kinlee's classmates before the parade started.

Kinlee and Sam...

And they are off...

She is SOOOO happy to be throwing candy!
