Introducing Kiersten: The Singing Princess

Kiersten was playing out front and I hear her voice singing a way.  I let her sing for a long time and then decided...wow I should have this on video.  Once I videoed her, she decided I didn't need to listen anymore and came and shut the front door... and then proceeded to go back and sing for the neighborhood!

The house’s “New Skin”

As Kiersten has grown her personality is in everything, which I love.  I’m not sure where all our time or what we thought was funny back before having kids.  Anyhow, that’s how this title came about.  Our house had old siding on it that was starting to fall off and rotting in places and it needed redone.  Therefore we decided to replace and paint the new siding, in which Kiersten has been calling it skin for the month we have been working on the remodel.  Thanks to all of our friends that helped with the “new skin.” We love it!

Soccer 2012

This year we have gotten Kiersten involved in city league Soccer.  The 4 year old team is all about having fun and just teaching them basic skills.  She has a blast however says she gets tired and needs water a lot.  We were at the dinner table the other night and George and her were talking about her soccer games.  She asked if her team won, and he said No.  She was not happy that she didn’t win so she said well next time we need to win.  I reminded her that it was about having fun.  She agreed but then George was joking around with her and said winning is more fun than losing and that winners get put on TV, sportscenter.  So then the next question he asked her, “So who’s going to get on sports center this week?”  She replied without hesitation, “The other team.”  I couldn’t control my laughter, and then she asked if dad was going to be there this week to bring him water out on the field!  Love this kid and her personality!  So here are some pics from the first soccer game!

Shopping and First Day of School

Kiersten, Grandma Kate, and I went school clothes shopping.  It was an official “lets go school shopping” trip, which we had never done before!  Kiersten loved it for the first few stores.  Although her smart mouth was rough to handle a few times.  She was super excited and took some calming down.  One dress I brought her, she informed me that I needed to “bring something else back that was cuter”  I was embarrassed of my own daughters attitude in public, however, That’s Kiersten. She just hasn’t figured out what is rude yet!  Kate couldn’t believe that our Kiersten is ALL GIRL; GLITTER and FRILL.  

With that said the First day of school was Sept 4th, 2012 and she picked her own outfit out… and here it is!
