The Kilps Family: May 2015
http://kilpsfamily.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 29, 2015. Graduations, Awards, Memorial Day, and School is Out! Last Friday was Curtis's graduation from preschool. Here are some highlights from the morning. This will be a fun one to look back on thirteen years from now when they're all graduating from high school. Bella's Science Fair Project: Paper Airplane Flight Test. She made several different paper airplanes, measured the distance that her top three flew, and determined if shape affected the distance of a paper airplane. Bella was the...

The Kilps Family: Surprise Party!
http://kilpsfamily.blogspot.com/2015/07/surprise-party.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. This is a big summer for my parents. My mom turned 60 in early July and my dad is retiring at the end of August. While all of us kids were in town, we wanted to throw them a party to celebrate and decided to make it a surprise. Here is the invitation we sent out. We held it in my Grandma's backyard. It is huge and perfect for parties! The kids were so excited about the bounce house! Scott had two briskets cooking all day. They were super good! Monkey pile on Uncle Andy (Condon).

The Kilps Family: April 2015
http://kilpsfamily.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Field trips, T-Ball, and Farm Visits. Curtis's preschool class took a field trip to a local children's museum. Two boys inside a giant bubble! This huge toilet was a big hit. I flushed him down! There's a little slide that he's about to go on). They found a secret passage way. Fun morning at the museum! The boys are now playing T-Ball! They had their first practice last Wednesday. Curtis is up to bat. Looking forward to a good season! The kids fed some hay to the cattle. I wasn't...

The Kilps Family: December 2014
http://kilpsfamily.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Happy Birthday, Graydon! Graydon has been counting down the days until his birthday starting back in October. And it is finally here! Our boy is now six! It continues to be a joy watching this little boy grow up. This was kind of a big year. He finished preschool, moved to another state, started kindergarten, and is learning to read! It's almost as if he is rediscovering the world around him as he looks at the sign on the road and tells me, "That sign says STOP! He loves spe...

The Kilps Family: May 2014
http://kilpsfamily.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 22, 2014. When I flew back to Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, my dad picked me up at the airport and then brought me to his work. After all of these years of him working for this company, I had never been there before. Here he is in his office! And in less than a year now, he will pack up his stuff and RETIRE! My dad works SO hard and we are all so excited for that day. I was still in Wisconsin on the morning of Mother's Day, so I actually got to see my mom this year. Bella played 'The Gam...

The Kilps Family: October 2014
http://kilpsfamily.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 26, 2014. Autumn leaves are falling down. A couple of weeks ago now, the kids (and us) enjoyed a week-and-a-half fall break from school. Starting the school year at the beginning of August was kind of a bummer, but this break made up for that a bit. On Andy's day off, we took a day trip to Nashville, Indiana. The landscape there is beautiful and there are tons of cute shops and restaurants. Here are the kids enjoying some ice cream sundaes from that trip. The leaves on the trees are beaut...

Saturday, July 12, 2014. Wisconsin: Round Three: Verona! The day following the wedding, our travels took us to the Kilps home in Verona. Curtis enjoyed another birthday celebration. The kids played with their cousins rats - and now they want one. Graydon and Curtis shared a bed. One morning, we found them like this. Curtis totally took over Graydon's pillow. Graydon loved his snuggle time with Papa. They also took some adorable photos together at the photo booth from Mary and Andy's wedding. This blog is...

The Kilps Family: June 2014
http://kilpsfamily.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 28, 2014. Happy birthday, Curtis! Curtis Michael is FOUR today! Look at how much he has grown. . . June 28, 2010. June 28, 2011. June 28, 2012. June 28, 2013. He's also likely to come up to me and say, "Mommy, can you snuggle me? Or, "I really love you, Mommy." He has a way of using his words to make people feel special. A few days ago when we visited a friend's shore house, he walked in and said, "this house is really beautiful." And he said that her dog had "cute eyes.". I think we ended...

The Kilps Family: The County Fair
http://kilpsfamily.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-county-fair.html
Friday, August 07, 2015. I love how kids process the world sometimes! Graydon and Bella were both carefree, riding with their hands in the air most of the time while Curtis gripped the ropes with both hands for the entire ride. Bella and Graydon came off of the ride super thrilled. Curtis was quiet. . . and then started crying. The ride really scared him. I felt so sad to see him so sad. The roller coaster was a hit. Big slides are always fun. Arts in the Park! The kids painted rocks. They got balloon an...
