HIllers 2, Ashland 0

Fall is a very busy time of year for us Yanka-Flynn's! Both Mum and Mommy coach high school soccer teams after work and this year Caelin has become the official team mascot for both the Clocker's and the hiller's. This past week, the two teams played eachother. It turned out to be a cool fall night so Caelin got bundled up in her bright pink puffalump outift and hung out with her buddy Alex while the teams played. Caelin had so much fun she hardly fell asleep- the game started at about her bedtime!

Not so sure about that hat, but the rest of the outfit is super cozy!

What more can we say....this is fitting for both Caelin and Mommy!

Yeah we are!!

Just hanging out...

Food...Food...EVERYWHERE!

Caelin is all about trying new foods these days! Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Flynn for the new food processor and fresh vegi's from the farm- Caelin has a definite preference for the fresh stuff over the jarred stuff! This is what she currently is eating and of course her critique!
Sweet potatoes: "yes please give me some more!!!"
Green beans: "Out of a can, no thank-you. But when made them fresh...I love 'em!"
Carrots: "Not sure what I think about these...I would like to try the fresh kind please."
Pears: "Mixed with a little oatmeal, pears make for a lovely dinner!"
Squash: "LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE!"
Avacado: "At first, hated it...but second time around, I housed it!"
Rice and Oatmeal: "Eaten alone I find these two are gross...but combined with some of my favorites they aren't so bad!"
Cheerios: "When squashed into bitty little crumbs, I really like the multigrain cheerios!"
Gerber Puffs: "The strawberry banana are my favorite, but don't worry I will eat the apple cinnamon too!"

Bring on the cheerios!

Second's please!

Carrots...Everywhere!

Happy 6 months Bug!

Caelin is officially 1/2 a year old! Times is truly flying by! Weighing in at 15 lbs, 13 oz and measuring at 27 inches, Caelin had her 6 month appointment today. Along with the regular well visit checks, she also got her first flu shot~ ouch! Having had her first cold during the first week at daycare, we are hoping that the flu shot keeps her better protected from getting anything more than the everyday cold.....that was nasty enough for us!!! So- what else is new with the bug....well she is sitting up on her own and loving life in this new position. She happily looks around and scans the room and thinks its hysterical when people walk in and out of the room! She smiles so big when you walk in and say hi and then giggles if you stop to play with her. She has tried out sweet potatoes and is happy to eat those! Grandma and Grandpa Flynn sent down some fresh veggies this weekend so we are going to try and make some homeade squash and bean later this week to try out. Daycare continues to go well. Caelin certainly has the routine down...now if C and I could keep straight who is dropping off and picking up (and at what time) the daycare folks would probably appreciate us too!!!

That's right...I'm 6 months old!!

What- no cake for my 6 months celebration?

Happy 32nd Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa Flynn!

Wow- 32 years!!! Today we got to see 1/2 the Flynn fam up at Uncle Conan's house. Caelin was so happy to see her cousins Aiden and Kiera but also to see her Uncles Conan & Brett and Aunts Alvine, Anna and Erin...and of course Grandma and Grandpa too! We had a great bbq lunch with some fresh vegi's from Granpa's garden then had to jump back in the car to get home so that Auntie Kell could babysit while Mum and Mommy went to see U2! Here are a few pic's from seeing the Flynn fam!

Happy Anniversay Grandma & Grandpa!

The Material Girl and her cuz Kiera!

Birthday Party Fun!

Caelin went to her buddy Colby's 2nd birthday party on Saturday. It was a great day for birthday fun...we played with lawnmowers in the yard, tried puffs (like cheerios) and ate cake...well at least Mommy did! Caelin got to play with her friends Colby and McKenna and there puppy Wyatt too! Happy Birthday Colby!

Party Pooper...ready for bed!

Happy Birthday Colby...the big 2!

Birthday hat- got it

Party pants- wearin' 'them

Cake and Ice Cream- Can't hardly wait!

Let's Eat!

Caelin had her first bowl of cereal this past weekend! She wasn't quite sure what to do with it- at first she seemed super into it, but we realized shortly after that she was just interested in the spoon! Pretty soon after the spoon went in her mouth she stuck her hand in and swiped out the cereal! Got to love the look on her face as she tries to figure out what is in her mouth!!

Cookies? Cake? Ice Cream? Enough of that cereal stuff!

Hmm...still not sure!

Not so sure about this stuff....

Give me that!!

Bring it!!
