Christmas 2015

We had a wonderful December month filled with lots and lots of holiday cheer. It was a lot of fun this year with the kiddos and the ages that they are at. Manning - age 8, Reesing - age 6, Kawlins - age 3. We hope that each and every one of you had a wonderful holiday season as well! 

The girls thought decorating manning was more fun.

Cheers to 2016

2015 was not without it's challenges for the Urish family, but for the most part it was a wonderful year. However, we are looking for a fresh start for the new year. Manning - 8 (soon to be 9), Reesing 6, KU-3. It's been a full year of Legends Baseball, TKQMA racing, Gotilla Football, G Force Jet cheerleading & Kid's First Preschool. We're starting the new year with a diaper-free house.  WooHoo!!! That's a great thing!  This was a very busy year for Dad and Mom. Dad's jobs multiplied this year & kept him busy. Mom's job came with some major changes & was the most challenging personally & professionally so far. She is definitely ready to flip the calendar. We're ready for an awesome 2016 and can't wait to see what the new year brings.  We wish all of our family and friends a healthy and happy 2016!

These two

They love each other so much. Manning is a great big brother & is so patient with baby KU. She loves her big brother & he can usually help her through any situation better than others can. For KU's birthday Manning asked her what she wanted from him for her birthday. Her answer...a birthday rock. So, that is what Amani g gave her. He stayed up late & painted the rock for her. I'm sure she'll want to keep it forever!

Happy 3rd Birthday Kawlins!!!

Baby KU, you turn 3 today! Happy happy day to you. You've been a spit fire and a ball of energy ever since you've been born and we love you so much. You are getting so smart and making great strides in preschool. You can make us cry/curse and laugh within seconds of each one & we're not really sure how. You're so beautiful inside and out and we love watching you grow a little more each day. Congrats on your successful start to potty training this week, you're doing great so keep up the great work! We are so proud of you. Happy 3rd birthday!  

Halloween 2015

We had a great Halloween this year. This year Manning (8) was Toronto Bluejays player, Bautista. And for the record, the Royals did kick Toronto's butt and Manning didn't get too many rocks for being a Bluejay player. Reesing (6) was a witch and KU was Blues Clues. Lots of fun, lots of candy & lots of Royals baseball! 

Girl power!

Go Royals!!!
