New Look!

Kristi is awesome!!

She did such a great job designing a blog for me... I am sooo not artsy like that and she knew just what to do for our family.

Thank you! Thank you!

Sunday Swimming

Sunday afternoon Daniel's family came and we all spent some time at the pool after a great lunch. It was fun to see all of the "kids" play together.
JD wanted to play with all the older boys.
Luke had never been in the pool before and was not sure what to think about the "big, cold bath." He stayed in the water for a little while, but then decided he needed a nap.

Kenna was quite the little fish (again) and decided to share her turtle with JD. He took her on a ride around the pool.
We use a towel to help prop up Miss K, but she keeps trying to eat it.


After the babies got tired and went down for a nap in the stroller, the guys (as in my husband and his brothers) decided to entertain everyone else at the pool. They started playing "water soccer" - you try to get the ball to the goal, but you are not allowed to touch the ball with your hands - only your head and your feet. I wish I had taken a picture of that!

4 months old

Miss K is four months old today...wow! Everyone always talks about how quickly time goes, but now I am officially a believer!

We took her for her four month well check yesterday and the doctor said she was looking great. She is still a little on the small side. She was 12 pounds 14 ounces (35%) and 23 inches long (12%). I think she is just going to be a petite princess (my sister said she was going to call her 'the runt'). I am just impressed that she has grown almost six inches and gained over 6 pounds in four short months.

Daniel dressed Kenna in her A&M onesie yesterday (whoop!) and then she really got into the rolling over business. I think she just wanted to be a little aggie before she showed off her new skills. She has always loved being on her tummy. Now that she knows how to get there, she doesn't want to roll over to her back anymore. I think that was a new trick that was just good for a little while. I almost couldn't get the camera turned on in time to get her rolling over (don't pay any attention to my voice - does everybody hate the way they sound when they are recorded?).

Enjoy!

Roll overs and Raspberries

Kenna now has two new tricks. She rolled from her front to her back multiple times yesterday and today. She has been trying to do this for a while, but always seemed to get stuck on one of her arms. She is working on getting from her back to her tummy, but she usually stops to rest when she gets to laying on her side. She is so much fun to watch right now!

Her other new trick made its appearance yesterday while we were practicing the rolling over. Apparently, my little Miss K loves to blow 'raspberries.' I think her daddy has been doing this to her tummy a little too often :)

When we tried to video the rolling over, all she would do is blow bubbles - I guess that is much more fun - so you will have to wait for the rolling video!

I went ahead and put both of these videos up because we just love her little noises. I think she has been playing with all of the different sounds she can make. She is starting to like a few of the high pitched, loud ones!

More weekend pics

Okay, I have stolen a few more pictures from my cousins, Courtney and Leslye. Thanks girls!!


Here is GranGran and Kenna at lunch on Friday. They were having a great time!

Kenna got to take her first trip to Sam Moon...you gotta start early!!
Cousin time at the pool...all of the girl cousins were present and accounted for.

When Kenna is playing on her playmat, Daniel just has to jump right on in.
We put both of the baby girls on the mat and then, all of a sudden, they would be surrounded.

I have a video of Kenna's fun new trick that I will try to post tomorrow...having video posting difficulties!!

New House Rule

I came home today to find that a new house rule has been put into effect. Apparently, if you have two 'blowouts' in one day, you officially lose your clothing privileges. I guess whatever Daddy says, goes!

Miss K has gotten to where she really likes to play with her pacifier. She holds on to the little ring all of the time and has decided she likes to pull it out and then try to put it back in. She tries really hard and gets it right about 25% of the time. The rest of the time, it is either upside down, sideways, or she is biting on the plastic.

My sister posted some fun pictures of some of the activities this weekend. Abbye and Kenna are really starting to enjoy each other. Up until now, they have mostly just stared at each other - if they even noticed someone next to them at all. Yesterday at church, they just sat and stared and tried to grab each other's hands. It was too cute. I stole these pictures off of my sister's blog. Hopefully I can steal some more from the rest of my family once they update their blogs!!

Too much fun

Apparently we just had too much fun this weekend. This picture is from the third time today that Kenna has fallen asleep while she was playing. She didn't even let go of the duck that she was playing with!

We had a blast this weekend with all of the family. Unfortunately, I was too busy being the 'hostess' to take any pictures. What you see above is what you get...sorry! All of the family that were here took tons of pictures so as soon as they get home and e-mail/post their pics I will upload them for you guys to see.

We are calling this our annual shopping and tanning extravaganza. The weather definitely cooperated this weekend as far as sunshine goes. Everyone got here about noon on Friday and we spent the afternoon at the Allen outlet mall and then had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory (are you seeing a pattern here?). Saturday morning we hit Sam Moon and Kenna got to have her first experience with the craziness that goes along with that trip. We spent the afternoon at the pool and then had a cookout here at our house (once again, recall last weekend :). We all got to worship together this morning before everyone headed home.

At A&M, once you have done something twice, it is officially a tradition. I think I am definitely going to enjoy this tradition!!
