Kylie is a little spuny, full of like 19 month old. She doesn't not miss a beat and does her very best to keep up with Braden and Reed. I ask my mom how she is in comparison to how I was since we both have 2 older brothers. She says that Kylie is not as "passive" as I was. But in her defense, there is only 17 months between her and the boys. She has to hold her own.
We continued the boys' birthday celebrations with the girls of the family. Ryan and papa were hunting in Kentucky. I cooked lunch for everyone and we just hung out at the house. My mom, granny, nanny, Tina and Charley came to party!
Tina came through like she always does with creative gifts. She got the boys their own drill set like papa's.
Do you notice Reed's super cute glasses?!! He has a stigmatism that he has to wear glasses for 6 hours a day. We are working on those 6 hours! He totally reminds me of that cute, nerdy (I meant that in a nice way) kid that was in Jerry McGuire. Too stinkin' cute! 
Kylie and Charley couldn't be left out so they got new make-up.
Charley got a new puppy that dances. She absolutely loved it! Her expression was priceless.
The boys got more tractors...
and a bank full of Tootsie Rolls.

When Uncle Craig comes, it gets crazy. He is a big kid that instigates the kids doing stuff they usually aren't supossed to do.

And finally, Craig picking up our 86 year old nanny!!!!
Kylie's room as I will always remember it at our house. I still say that I will never make curtains again after I made these damask ones but I will say, I still love them. Who knew that I would be using them for my little girl's room one day. 
Now onto the other events that went on. The weekend that we moved, Reed started to get sick. At first, I thought it was just a cold but he kept having a reoccuring fever then began having difficulty breathing at night. I knew his pneumonia was coming back (which he had in September and never really got over). Sunday night was Trunk-or-Treat at our church so we decided to still go. Poor Reed was such a little trooper trying to walk around but he was pretty pitiful!
So Kylie was supposed to be a deer and the boys were hunters. Since the weekend was a tad bit busy, I just decided she would go as a bee. Can you hunt bees?!
Braden loved his gun that he got to carry around. I hope we didn't offend too many people letting our 2 year olds carry guns!
I even let them eat straight out of the Craisins bag so they will have something to do! 
Props to my dad for finishing my table for me. I needed a 5ft. round table and chairs and got this one on Craigslist for $100. It was a pale color glossy oak table and chairs (but of course, I forgot a before picture) before an this is the after. I think it turned out great! 
Kylie Reese being her little mischevious self!
My three little kiddos
Any of you who know Reed really well, know that he rarely is seen without some knot on his head. He has not had one in a long time but now he has 2. He busted off of a horse headfirst on the hardwoods then tripped over a rug onto the floor headfirst. That always makes for great goose eggs:-)
When we got home, the boys opened their gifts from Granny Carol and Grandpa. They got lots of cool stuff including John Deere blankets that Granny made, tractors, and even tire horse swings. They did way too much for the kids but the boys loved everything!
My mom came over later and brought their gifts. My dad was doing more important stuff...deer hunting-) This picture really needs a video to explain but Braden loves okra. My mom bought him some fried okra at Wal-Mart. When he opened it, he said "Nana, you bought me okra!!!!!" You would have thought she bought him a real tractor. 
A family tradition when I grew up was that you always got an ice cream roll cake on your birthday. They are the BEST things ever that my mom (sometimes dad) makes. They put Baskin Robins and Cold Stone to shame. She made me and the boys one for our birthdays! 
The house we bought had one previous owner and they left this skooter in the garage. The man said that his wife used to ride it to town every day. This thing is like 30 years old but wasn't tunning. So my dad and this other guy worked on it and got it running. Of course, all three kids got to ride too. Don't worry, he was driving like 5 miles an hour.
