Sisters!

Here is the most recent pic of the girls...we are still trying to figure out what is going on with Kinley's hair...haaa!

Potty Time!

I am proud to share that we are in potty training mode at the Huotari household! Please forgive my potty training words as I explain :) On Tuesday, Riley asked to go potty at day care with some of the other girls that are potty training. I spoke with her teacher and brought pull-ups yesterday. I picked her up and she went pee pee on the potty once, which is a step. Then, last night she sat on the potty and ended up shutting the door - evidently she wanted privacy. The next thing we know she is crying a little and we thought she was scared because she was locked in the bathroom. So, I go in and she pooped in the potty and was scared of the poopy - haaa! We made a huge deal about it and she put her sticker on her chart and we were so excited for her.

Happy 2nd Birthday Riley!

So, we are a little behind on posting pictures, but this is from Riley's 2nd Birthday, which was August 20th. We had her birthday party at Monkey Joe's on Saturday, the 21st. It was sooo much fun! They have bounce houses and as you can see from the pictures, the kids had a blast. We had a room to ourselves to eat pizza, cake, ice cream, and open presents. We are definitely going back there again! Enjoy the pics! :)

Riley's yummy cake from Long's Bakery! :)

Here is the room we had and of course the birthday girl had the huge inflatable chair at the head of the table!

Back to School!

Well, we are back at school and I have definitely not updated this blog in a while! We have been quite busy with Kinley's baptism, weddings, enjoying our last few days of summer vacation, and getting ready to go back to day care. Here are some pics of the girls - enjoy!

Chase & I, Kinley, and Jenny & Nolan (the awesome Godparents!)

EVERY time I took Riley's picture, her eyes were closed - hilarious!

She is soooo cute, I can't get enough of her!

Riley LOVES to hold her baby sister!

Texas!

We just got back from Texas Tuesday morning. We drove...yes, that's right, we drove to Texas with a 23 month old and a 10 week old. It took us about 14 hours and I have to admit we were expecting the worse since Kinley just got shots the day we left and Riley was starting to get a cold. Surprisingly, the ride was not bad since we left in the evening just in time for the girls to sleep! We had such a great time visiting Chase's family and our friends. We went over to Nate and Crystal's house to visit - Chase went to high school with them. They have a new baby boy named Mason - he is about 3 weeks younger than Kinley. Erik and Tiffany were also there with their new baby boy Easton, who is 1 week younger than Mason. Erik also went to high school with Chase and Tiffany went to U of I with Erik, Chase, and I. So, we got to visit some of our best friends and it was so awesome to see them and their new additions! On a side note, I can't believe Kinley is 10 weeks already and is getting cuter by the minute! Enjoy the pics!

Daddy & Kinley...how precious is that?!

Once we got back, Jessi, one of my best friends who happens to live in Texas was visiting her family here in Indiana, so she came to visit with her daughter Parker. Jenny and Avery also came over, so it was nice to catch up with all of us girls together. We all went to college together and I am so glad we all still keep in touch! I love them! :)
