ChickenFest 2011!!!

Hey! It's Kelsey! Okay, so last night (Saturday) I had the best night of my life. My dad took me and my cousin out to Chicken Fest and we saw an amazing concert featuring iSquare, Laze and Royal, and CODY SIMPSON!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, if you have never heard of him, you need to look him up on YouTube or iTunes. Anyways, I'll show you some pictures of the concert that I was absolutely in love with. 

 (sorry they are kind of blurry. I was jumping around the whole time!!!)

Cody even sang some songs that aren't produced yet to the public. They were all so good!!! I had so much fun!

I would like to thank my dad for taking me and giving me the best night of my life!!

Breakfast On the Farm and Graduation!!!

-Kelsey

Sorry for our lack of posting lately. We have been so busy lately we couldn't even think of blogging. Our most recent big family outing was Breakfast On the Farm. Breakfast On the Farm is a big gathering where tons of people come to eat breakfast and tour the farm on which its held. 

 Above we are enjoying our breakfast. In the background you can kind of see how many people were there for this big event. Tons more too.

 You can also see in the above photo some other activities that you could do there. There was a petting zoo, tractor pull, tours of the milking house, ice cream, etc.

 Ellie enjoyed all of the cows. All she kept saying was "Moo!! Moo!!" 

 Above you can see the other events from a distance.

Another huge happening lately was Emily's graduation. It was very stunning to see her in a cap and gown because its hard to believe that she is already going away. 

We have also started our summer vacation. It hasn't felt like summer though. Our weather has been so dull and cold compared to our earlier weeks. Hmmm, what else has happened since our last post? Not much actually. Swimming has started, soccer, more soccer and of course, playing barbies with Ellie. 

Have a great rest of the week!!!!

Memorial Day... And the Latest News

This year, Memorial Day was very busy. 

With sports, fireworks, parades, family and fun... I didn't have time to blog! :D

So this post will catch you up on all the latest action with our family. 

 Every year our town has a parade with a bunch of local businesses, bands, sports teams and clubs. This year, Connor was in the parade with his hockey team. Emily and Ryan were also in it for marching band.  

Ellie enjoyed seeing her siblings in the parade and handing her candy.

 The weather has been hot, hot, hot, lately. School is almost over for my family. 

Emily is a senior and had her very last day yesterday (Thursday). She was very excited, but sad that her high school years are done and time for college.

Oh how Ellie enjoys her sweets! Snow cones and Popsicles are her favorite. 

Anyways, that's all for today. Have a fun weekend!!!!!

Froggin!!

Hi, Kelsey here again. My mom knows how to show us a good time...FROG HUNTING! We went out to the swamp, brought our nets and headlights, and caught some frogs.

 Our cousins came along with us. They made this even more fun than it already was.

 We caught many frogs, got soaking wet from the swamp, found a couple of ticks on us when we got home, but best of all.... we had a ton of fun!

Ever held a bullfrog this big? I bet you haven't!

First Post!!

Hello, I'm Kelsey. I'm so excited for this new blog where people can see our chaotic everyday lives. I am 13 years old and I started this blog for my mom. The reason I started it was because of how fun and enjoyable my life is with my family. This blog will be a fun way to show my family of 7 and our busy life.

Three years ago we started our adoption journey. Since then, my family has been blessed with a baby sister. Ellie was adopted domestically and is now two years old. She has really shown me and my other siblings how fun a new sister can truly be when you are old enough to understand, and experience everyday life with a toddler.

Ellie provides me and my siblings true joy. She really completes our family.
