Finally some pictures

The last week in August, the girls and I went to visit Grandma Allred. We had a blast! The girls got to ride the carousel until I got sick (Kaylee can't ride by herself, so I have to sit with her) and Grandma loves to spoil them rotten! They loved it! I didn't take too many pictures but here's a cute one that I needed to share. One night Grandma made some popcorn. Emma was able to reach the bowl with her stool but Kaylee needed help. So, Emma would feed her little sister individual kernels. It was pretty cute. She loves to take care of her!

When we got back from Grandma's, we discovered that our internet was down. I did everything that I know how to to fix the problem. I finally had to call Qwest at 8pm on a Saturday. They told me to do everything that I had just done. (Really helpful guys, thanks.) Nothing was working. So finally, the guy says, "How old is your modem?" I replied, "Just over two years". "Oh, well, they usually only last two years." Then he explained that the wiring starts to go on them and blah, blah, blah. I was like, seriously? I have never heard that before. It would have sounded more credible had he said that modems were only good for 2-3 years before he asked me how old ours was. He said we needed to buy a new modem from them. I pretty much hung up on him. Long story short, we have very, very strong feelings towards a certain communications company. Their customer service is awful! We would not recommend them to our enemies. We have been unhappy with them for a while and looked at this as a great opportunity to switch companies! Yeah! But we had to wait two weeks for installation. So, now we're up and running. Anyway, that was kind of a side note. Here are some more pictures of my beautiful girls.

So, I've fallen in love with homemade bread. I like to make it, I like to eat it. We've been making it a lot lately. I have also discovered instant yeast. But that's another post. Here's Emma after a good 'kneading'. She likes my bread too.

Kaylee, doing laundry. I like to sort my laundry on the floor in the living room. Then, I put it in baskets and take it downstairs. Well, Kaylee got to it and resorted before I could get it down. Oh well. She had a great time.

Isn't she cute? On the other hand, everyone is getting big, fancy cameras. I'm a point and shooter. But I think you can really see the difference in quality can't you?
Also, my big girl has finally learned how to come down the stairs by herself! I feel so relieved! I got so nervous whenever Kaylee would get near stairs because she thought she could just walk right off. AHHHH! Here she is, revelling in her achievement! (OK, I'll be honest, I'm still nervous if I see her on the stairs. But if I don't have to watch, she does great!)

Sorry, this post has been really random and I'm sure most of you gave up reading a long time ago. That's fine with me.
