February Fun (this is long... sorry)

Avery's latest obsession is finding hidden picture books. She started with some Highlight magazines which prooved to be way too easy for her and has now finished all the I Spy books and 2 Where's Waldo's. I love this picture because she fell asleep doing her favorite thing and she happens to be wearing her favorite color.

This one is of Kenyon doing one of his favorite things... oh the joy of being a boy! I thought it would be easy to remove his hand after the picture but I was wrong. I'll save this for future blackmail.

This is what happens when you don't come the first time your son says "mom, I need your help". I guess Adison was really jealous of Kenyon's bath and she just couldn't wait to get her clothes off.

Getting ready for Valentine's Day. Anything with paint is always a hit!

Adison enjoying the park. She is way too cute huh?

Waiting for dad to get out of the shower so they can open the Valentine's Day gift from us.

Leaving for our V.day Party at the park.

We had a wonderful candle lit family dinner made with love for Daddy on Vday! We all had to go around the table and say one thing we love about each person it was tons of fun and really cute to hear what the kids had to say. The kids enjoyed having sparkling cider (or "spicy" as Avery calls it) and homemade lava cakes for dessert.

Here is our newest toy (a late b.day gift for Adia made for ages 8 and up). It looks innocent but this thing goes 10mph and is an accident waiting to happen. The funniest thing is that Kenyon is way too young for this and his hand isn't even big enough to reach the brake. He is also too light and everytime he takes off the thing does a wheelie. I haven't decided if it is funnier watching Kenyon on it or watching Kyle trying to catch him and keep him safe.

Family Fun

We enjoyed a quick visit with my wonderful cousin (more like a brother) OJ and his son Kolton/Trouble. Thanks for stopping by OJ and we look forward to seeing you in July. For those of you wondering where I am in the picture... somehow I was forced to take it instead of being in it. I'm so bummed.

Something New:
This is a picture of Monavie and all the fruits that are in it. Monavie is a juice that OJ's family spends mucho money on for all the amazing health benefits. Kyle already is in love with acai berry and that is the main ingredient. He left Kyle and I a bottle and we will report later if one month of 4oz a day has any noticable benefits for Kyle (I'm letting him have the whole bottle... aren't I nice?).

More Medical Issues!

Our family is turning into a medical joke and I just thought you all might find it interesting. I hate posts with no picture so I added some from a few weeks ago. Just to get your attention.

Here is the latest... Adison has her 7th ear infection in her 16 months of life. The Dr.'s want to put in tubes but I need to do some more research before we make any decisions on this. Kenyon is still trying to recover from pneumonia. Kenyon did recover from some hip virus that caused him to limp for a few days. I'm still struggling to accomplish anything in a day due to pregnancy, gal stones and a recent sinus infection. Kyle mentally has had it with all of us who can't seem to stay healthy. Adia and Avery are great and thank the Lord because I can't deal with any more appointments, co pays or sickness.

May the New Year bring you all better health than us!

Happy Birthday Jesus

Every Christmas Eve after we go to a a special church service our family loves to come home and have a birthday party for Jesus...

Let the Party begin!

(mom won't start until everyone has Christmas jammies on)

Kenyon broke the pinata (the donkey fit the theme and Kenyon said "we needed" a pinata for the party)

Everyone had fun playing pass the present and lucky little Avery won the prize!

Happy Birthday dear Jesus... Happy Birthday to you!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well!

Dad's Are Fun

What would a weekend with dad be without someone getting hurt... I mean without having tons of fun!

Kyle must be thinking "Well I haven't hurt him yet so let's see if this will do it" at this point mom starts getting mad and all the bikes get put away. Mom sure knows how to ruin a good/unsafe time!

Dad stole Adia's bike so she had to borrow Avery's.

CRAZY Camera Moments

I love that every year we send out a picture of our kids all smiling and looking happy and nobody gets to hear what I'm saying to get such big smiles. Things like "Kenyon if you don't look at me you are going to get a spanking" or "Adia quit trying to help and just stay looking at me" or "Avery no you can not have a snack right now" or best of all "Hold Adison down. I don't care if she cries."

Here are a couple of our failed attempts this year:

Here are some cute shots that don't take so many threats since my kids LOVE to pose... if you are wondering how my kids turned out to be so in love with modeling that would have to come from Stacey and Kyle's sister's influence. So not something I passed on to them!

KAAAKAK

Well, we had our ultrasound today and the title of this should tell you all you need to know. I will post proof when I can figure out our new scanner. If you need help here you go... Kyle, Amy, Adia, Avery, Kenyon, Adison and Kaden.

We are all very happy and can't wait to meet the little guy!
