Catch up?? Nope.

I was going to try to catch up from the last few months.. but the thought just overwhelmed me. So... we are going to start from here. {smile} Hopefully I will be able to keep up this time.. we will see!!

Turning 5

Our Cole (aka Awesome) turned five on the 18th. It is hard to believe he can be that old already! Wow! He wanted a party at Chuck E Cheese... we agreed. (SO silly of us!) {grin}
He had a blast! It was a fun time but definitely the last party at Chuck E Cheese! {smile}

The whole crew.. 14 kids!

The birthday boy!

How old am I?? Five!!

Haircuts

The whole crew piled in to Lil' Whipper Snippers and all got haircuts!
Some much more needed than others.. {grin} I only got pics of Maddie and Cole. Kai and Kaden were already sleeping and Ethan was in the shower washing out the awesome green paint. (He was NOT happy about doing that!) Hopefully I will have some pics of the other boys soon!


Cole's hair was a drastic change.. I was changing a major Kaden blow out and he told the stylist to cut it short! AHH! It was already started when I came out... sad. He looks very handsome though and LOVES that he can spike his hair just like his brothers!

As promised....

The Tornado part 2...

The proud artist...

The weapons of choice...

The results...

The lessons learned...
Do NOT allow your two year to "play" in the bathroom while you try to sneak in a quick shower. {smile}

"The Tornado"

Well.. It seems to me that "the Tornado" (as we affectionately call our two year old) has struck again. A couple weeks ago I had been working on some new posts for the blog. I was doing it during the day.. which I don't normally do since Kai is so intrigued by everything I do and wants to help. I had pictures set to upload and then got busy doing something else... laundry I am sure. {smile} When I came back the computer windows were all closed and he had somehow changed the wallpaper picture. Seriously, this kid is amazing! {smile} I redirected our attention and moved on to something far away from the computer... and never thought twice about it. Until I got an email from a friend asking to be able to still read the blog. What?? I was floored. "The Tornado" strikes again!
Hopefully I will be able to finish the posts I was working on and get something new up to share soon. So sorry that it was blocked. But it is great to know someone actually reads our blog! {smile}
Watch for "The Tornado strikes again.." It includes lipstick, mascara and the bathroom door! {smile}

Without Internet...

Being in the rental.. we had to do a little adjusting to LOTS of things. Not having internet right away was one of them. It took us awhile to find which box had the cable modem in it. You wouldn't think it would be an issue... except it was in the 20x20 storage garage that has EVERYTHING from our house in it. HA! Oh.. and it was in one of the 20 boxes that said Ryan's Office. Yep... next time we are going to have to be much more specific in our labeling. smile.


Anyways.. enjoy some older posts that never got up. Hopefully I will get to more soon. The house is changing like crazy.. and so are the kiddos. Wow. Enjoy!

Kaden - 2 months

Two months? Can my baby really be two months old already? Where did the time go? NO.. seriously.. where did the time go?

At two months old..
I still don't sleep much at night.
I sleep like a rock during the day.. especially if my brothers and sister are being really loud.
I love to look around.
I am really strong and love to kick.
I love tummy time.
I am cooing and smiling a lot.
I still only smile for my daddy and big sister.
I am definitely going to have blue eyes.
I am really easy going.
I love to suck my thumb... and am the first kid ever to do that!
I am growing like crazy.. 16 lbs. 4 oz. and 25 inches long. Wow!
I am a wonderful blessing and I fill my family with lots of joy!

Look how long I am!

So serious...

The best smile I was willing to give mom and her camera.
Seriously.. how do I get her to stop with all the pictures?!?

I have had enough with the pictures mom.. 120 is enough! I am going to sleep!

(OK.. seriously love this little man!!)
