I can't believe how long it has been since we have had a family picture. We take tons of pictures of our kids, but all of us together is a little bit tricky since Rob is the photographer. Well, job well done Rob these turned out great. I am so excited tomorrow, after 4 years of having nothing hanging in our front room we will finally have beautiful pictures on the wall.
Kiley is 2, and is full of so much life and joy. We have been having so much fun watching her grow and learn. She is talking in full sentences, and has alot to say about everything. She is so sweet to have around, and while I lay on the couch unable to move from pregnancy sickness I can count on her laying right with me. I am a bit nervous as how much Kiley will love the baby. She loves her brothers, and she can keep up with them. She is finally starting to gain some weight. At her 2 year appointment she weighed only 21 pounds, so this summer we have spent feeding her all the carnation instant breakfast you can. Which she loves them, and they are full of so many good vitamins and proteins, but to my surprise she eats so many new things now. YEAH!!! We have found that she loves Cinderella, I believe we have watched it 3 times today. No worries she doesn't sit down through the whole thing, but when she comes in the room she likes having Cinderella on. I gave in the other day at the store when she saw Cinderella shoes she wanted them so badly, well, I couldn't resist he sweet little desire. The other day she woke up in bed next to us, and look at Rob, and then whispered, "That's my Dad." Though it has taken some time, she is becoming a Daddy's girl.
Cutler is 5 and is in kindergarten. Which we both love, though I asked him if I could come with him, and he said, "No." Bummer. At his 5 year old doctors appt. I couldn't stop laughing, because he is just so funny. The Dr. asked him if he played pretend, Cutler looked at him confused, so the Dr. explain, "Do you ever
pretend you are superman, or batman?" Cutler said, "No." The Dr. looked at me, and of course I nodded my head yes, but what I wanted to say is you asked him the wrong question...it should have been, "Cutler are you ever Superman, Batman, or any other hero?" I can tell you the answer would've been, "Yes!" Because in his world he
is a superhero, with these powers. Once after finding him at the top of a light post...and I am not joking about where I found him, and trying to explain how dangerous this was the answer I got was, "spiderman can do that, and I was fine." Later the Dr. asked him to pee in the cup, and he handed him this tiny cup. Cutler's had a surprise look on his face, and we headed to the bathroom were he set the cup down in the middle of the room, and said, "This is awesome." Inside I was laughing so hard, for him it was target practice, no worries I stopped this attempt and all was fine. He is a funny kid, and so much more. He is already planning how he can help with taking care of the baby. I can't wait for what life is in store for him.
Cole is 6 and is in 1st Grade. He is doing amazing in school his reading, spelling, math, and writing is going so good. He is so willing to do homework, and he works so hard. He loves being at school, and with his friends. To my surprise he loves school lunch, he is such a picky eater, well at home he eats what we make him, but if anyone else made the same thing he rarely wants to try it. So, I never expected that he would even consider school lunch. I have to say it makes the mornings go so easy not having to worry about it. He loves his teachers, and friends, and the girls love him. I have a couple parents who have told me that their daughters are crazy about him...oh dear, should I be worried? He is a great big brother, he is kind, considerate, and helpful. He worries for those around him, and he is willing to help when he is needed. He loves sports, and if time or money was never an issue he would play every single sport out there. He is so fun to watch him play, during the summer he played a little basketball. I was so proud of him, because he gets really nervous when he is unsure of what he is suppose to do, but so far when it comes to sports it doesn't really matter that anyone is watching, or that he doesn't exactly know how to play yet because he is so ready to learn. He watches the coaches so closely and he loves every minute of the game. He too is so excited that we are having another baby, in fact a month or so before getting pregnant with this baby he asked us, "can we have just one more?" He loves seeing that my tummy is getting bigger, because he understands what that means. We love this guy so much, and appreciate all he does around the home for us.
