Family Pictures 2015

 We were able to squeeze in Family Pictures this year on Halloween morning. I think they turned out great, our photographer was excellent and the girls did great too.

 Our precious gems

 Lily's face cracks me up

 My Favorite

September and October

 The past few months have flown by for our family! Kate and Lily played soccer again this fall. It has been great watching them and seeing their skills improve.

 Also, Rachel turned 1!

 It was so fun to celebrate this little girl and the joy she has brought to our family. She loves her sisters and Daddy (she loves her Mommy most of all;)) and finds the most joy in getting into everything. I had forgotten how much fun having a one year old in the house is; she makes every day an adventure.

Lily's Baptism

In August Lily was baptized, and it was so sweet. Kate played the piano and Elise sang a song. Lily was so happy and excited.

August events

 August held many excitements this year as always! Before school started, Mom and I took the girls to Indy for the temple open house. It was so beautiful!

 August 10th brought the first day of school! Rachel, Elise and I were sad to see Kate and Lily leave!

 To top off the first week of school, Lily turned 8! What fun it was to celebrate her and all the joy she brings to out family. Lily is so enthusiastic, loving, and adventurous.

 For her 8th birthday, she had a party at SkyZone.

Rachel has also learned to crawl, 

I can't believe she is 10 months old and mobile! 

There is nothing like having a baby in the home, she brings joy to us all.

St. Louis June 2015

 For Edward Jones's summer meeting we were able to go to St. Louis this year! We had a great time taking the kids to a Cardinals game.

 And to the Zoo

 This, in case you are wondering, is a polar bear that has been rolling around in the dirt. Kate was so excited to see him.

One of my favorite animals to see at Zoos is the gorilla. I am amazed at their size. St. Louis had quite a few male and female gorillas, it was very cool.

Tybee island GA

 At the end of May the Kuhlenhoelter clan took one of the best vacations ever to Tybee Island GA. I was amazing, there was so much to do and see and the cousins played so well.

 After church on Sunday we found a beautiful park in downtown Savannah GA with huge trees all covered in Spanish moss. 

 We spend most of our time enjoying the beach, The weather was awesome!

 We visited an old Fort on the island.

 Took family pictures

 And went Kayaking. The three oldest kids went with us and we had a blast. It was overcast and cool, perfect for being out on the ocean.

 We stopped on a couple of beaches and hiked around.

The Kuhlenhoetler girls. What fun!
