How cute are they!!

I must admit, I'm a little prejudice...my kids are the cutest in the world! (At least in my book) These are the pictures that I made for Halloween. I think they turned out so well.


These pictures are some from Kensley's 1 year pics.

A bunch of loons

My boys are crazy. They are constantly making up stuff...noises, faces, acting silly, laughing... ya know, being kids. Kensley is taking right after them. She cracks us up all of the time. She is very vocal and gets her point across even though she's only 13 months old. I've told you about her eating habits before... how much she likes to eat. Her new thing the past couple of days is when she's ready to eat, she puts her hand to her open mouth and makes the "ah-bah" sound over and over until you acknowledge what she wants. It's so funny! It's almost like she's saying give me some food to put into my mouth... NOW!

She's getting a little better with standing, but on her terms only. I've tried over and over to coax her into it so I can get a picture, but it doesn't work out very well. Here's one picture I got, but the quality is bad. It's good enough to see her expression which is so cute. She's so proud of herself when she does it.

On a different subject, Corby is home... YAY! We are all so glad he returned safely.

Happy Birthday to You!

Today is my honey's birthday. He's in Jacksonville, FL at a conference, so babe if you are reading my blog today... here's a shout out for you... uh-hmm
Happy birthday to you

hee, hee! (birthday song from the movie Madagascar.... it fits him well... JK)

Standing up

Well, Kensley turned 13 months old today. I want to hold on to the line "she just turned 1" but I'm a month out now, so I guess I'll revert back to the month age system again. She hit another milestone today... she's stood up on her own. We were laying on the air mattress in the floor at my parents house & she was off & on for a while until she decided she wanted to stand up. She would stand up, keep her balance for a few seconds, then drop to her butt. Once we clapped and "yayed" a few times, she would try to do it even faster and fall even faster but laughed every time. The longest she stood was probably 20 to 30 seconds. I know that's not much, but she's that much closer to walking now... and I'm not looking forward to that. It's so cute when they do walk, but then the baby is gone... they are officially toddlers then. I'm trying to hold on to my "baby" as long as I can since she's my last. Of course as soon as I left to go get the camera, she quit doing it.

All the kids have the "crud". We had a jinx last year that every time we went to my parents house one of them would get sick. I know it's just bad timing, but it all came out Saturday morning when Chandler woke up with the barking cough, Kensley had a green crusted nose and red, runny eyes and Carter sneezed all day. I really hope we don't start that again this year. It's really not my parents house, because I know they've picked up whatever bug they have before we get there, it just always seems to hit them after we get there.

We are waiting for Corby to come home. He's been in Jacksonville, FL since Thursday (that's why we went away for the weekend) at a First Tee conference. The boys ask everyday, "how many more days til Daddy gets home?" We will all be very happy to see him on Tuesday.
