Lovin' those cheeks!

Business as usual at the McClelland home. :)

Cousin Zoo Trip

We had a cousin trip to the zoo yesterday.  It was fabulous weather which made for a fabulous zoo trip.

Pictured below - Sadie Draper, Hudson Torsell, Bridger Bateman, Jaxon Torsell, Easton Torsell, Lilee Draper, Camrie Draper, and Blake Bateman - with amazing grandma Sandee.

A few months from the Kynaston's

I'll apologize for the scattered format and rambling nature of the following post. Just a quick update so I can start posting more current events. :)

Brother/Sister gift exchange.

Did you know that I love poinsettas?

Taylor's BIG 14...he wanted banana cream pie, which was a great idea, except that I made it gross with yucky GREEN bananas.

Christmas.

Did I mention we have puppies again? Probably not. It has been interesting to see the psychological damage that occurred to me during our last puppy experience! I haven't done one thing with these cute little buggers and it's been great!

"Kelcie's" puppy has the CUTEST face!

One thing that makes Kansas beautiful...the sunsets.

More Christmas. Lexi got a little fish tank. She had five fish that lasted 5 days. I think something was wrong with the water :). I just emptied the tank yesterday. We'll try again.

Taylors b-day gift from Kelcie. She colored him a cute "card".

Cotton candy anyone? Lexi is pretty good at custom colors and flavors.

Jessie needed a new ipod screen protector, for the professionally fixed ipod she got from grandpa. :)

Tay's favorite Christmas present were these headphones. When you put them on, you can't help but bust a move. Beats, by Dr. Dre'.

Kelcie has enjoyed this easel, to help her share her creative talents.

Jessie has had fun with her dessert maker with interchangeable plates...she has made brownies, cookies, mini bundt cakes.

SLIPPERS :)

Indoor soccer game---wichita wings----family fun.

Well, there's the "catch-up" post. I will try to do better. :)

Happy Birthday Sadie

My youngest cutie patutie is growing up.  She turned 5 yesterday.  How do the years fly by when often the days go so slow?

Happy birthday Paige!!

We are so lucky to have you in our family! Paige is 3 years old. I would add a picture but can't get it to work from my iPad. Have a fabulous day Pagers!!!

Tips about cankers

FYI
Use a toothpaste that doesn't have sodium lauryl sulfate. Rinse daily with hydrogen peroxide(says on the bottle how to use). Do not swallow it.

These are tips from Jeff who said they have really helped him avoid cankers.
He especially thinks the toothpaste is a BIG help in avoiding as he read somewhere that that ingredient was a big contributor to causing cankers.
