New Writer! Jaelle's Daughter

Hello! This Is Marlee! If you have read this blog before you may have heard of me. I am Jaelle's Middle daughter. as of now I am 15 turning 16 this July. I have been looking through the two old blogs and realized we have not kept up.

So I will start Catching up to now. in hopes to be caught up by summer. I am so excited to start this. With Mom's permission of course. I am now an Author and I love to write so this will be perfect for me. Things like this are important.

A LOT has changed. for one thing we are a lot older. it has been 5 WHOLE years! that's insanity. We are still pretty fun. It will be a change for me. and new perspective. and since it is still Mom's blog she may post one day. No clue. but to make things simple I will make sure to say it's me at the beginning. makes more sense that way. This will be fun.

So join me for this crazy project if you have been wondering how things have been going. My Mom has a newer blog that she writes on : ldsparenting.blogspot.com

I Hope you guys will enjoy these posts and hopefully I can do almost as good as My Mom has done. Love that woman to death. So here goes nothing. I will start from Where we left off. well after this post. just wanted to update you guys if we still have an audience.

No clue honestly. that's all for now! - Marlee <3 p="">

April 2013 bbq at friends farm!

Wow... so behind as usual... going to try and go thru some pics and upload them here so that I can keep memories of my babies alive!!!!!

This is Dylan's butt ... hahaha.... We had a bbq at our friends Kristen and Kyle's farm... Dylan was fascinated by the tiny little serama chickens they have! So he climbed right into the chicken tractor with them!

Marlee getting ready to eat at the bbq! woot woot!!!!

Our friend Kristen with the yummy food for the bbq!!!!

Our friend Kyle taking Dylan and Keith for a ride on the ranger around the farm!!

Girls turn on the ranger!!!!

We really enjoyed our time at the farm... it is relaxing and the kids love to play and explore. They have a big pond and Dylan and Keith and Kyle found a big turtle!

Fishing at Mark Twain Lake

Fall 2012

We went to see the beautiful new riverboat that's on the mississippi.. the American Queen.. look how tiny the kids look against this big beautiful boat!!!

My beautiful babies at Riverview Park, we were having a playdate with our friends Rachel and Ellie :)

We were blessed to be able to have Keith's sister Krista and brother in law Justin and our beautiful niece Kenlee come visit for awhile... The kids wanted to swim.. but it was freezing! You can tell in their faces how cold they are!!

My mother in law Linda and Keith's sister Krista decided to do some baking together at Grandma Ulry's house... I loved that!!!

All of the cousins and family on Keith's mom's side came for a bbq while Krista and her family were here. The kids played in the creek and found a big turtle and a couple of frogs... they had a blast.. Dylan obviously had fun in the creek lol!

June 2012 SUMMER FUN!!!

June was awesome... again, we were outside constantly! And in the pool constantly!!!!

 

 

I got to spend a couple of hours with my bestie from when I was a teen, she brought her little adorable daughter Allison to play for a bit! She lives in Arizona now, so she's far away :(

 

 

We spent some time out at Mark Twain Lake as a family.. Dylan and Sydney caught their first fish!

 

 

Easter 2012

We had a beautiful Easter this year..... we spent time in Palmyra at Grandma Ulry's with Keith's side of the family and then also in Barry at my Grandma Odie's. Such a good Easter!
