What we do when we're not schooling or swimming or taekwondoing...

The kids are pretty busy these days, but they do have some down time. James likes to play ball (any kind of ball, base/basket/foot/golf).

Kellen likes to watch the worst movie in the world...Space Buddies, over and over again:(

And Skylar likes to set up a "scene" and let her imagination go.

A lot of love for a little baby!

Everyday after school, Skylar's first question is, "where's Brennen?" She just adores this baby and she takes really good care of him. She is the perfect little mama!

She is not the only one who takes care of Brennen though. Kellen loves to give Brennen a ride on the Kellen express!

Brennen loves it just as much as Kellen!

Finally, we had friends over at Marilyn's house for dinner. The kids were all there, but they stayed out of sight down in the toy room. So us adults actually got the chance to have a nice dinner and conversation.

Sorry Everyone!

I am so sorry that I have not posted in over a week! I have been really sick and am finally feeling good again. I still have a lot of congestion, but I don't feel like I am in a fog anymore. The swine flu is going around, so maybe I had that! Anyway, now that I am back in gear, Kellen and I have a lot of fun together in the mornings. The older two are at school and Brennen is still taking a morning nap, so Kellen and I have some alone time together. I think we both really cherish this time together!

Kellen's first day of Preschool

Kellen started preschool today and he was so excited to go until we got into the room. As soon as we walked in, he got really clingy and didn't want to let me go. Then he cried and cried when I left. It always takes Kellen a while to get use to something new, but I hope this doesn't go on too long. The older two could have cared less if I was there or not, so this is something new for me. I think I like the not caring about me more (a little sad, huh?).

JT's Birthday!!

Ross and Allison came up for the Labor Day weekend so they were there to celebrate JT's birthday. Ross and Kellen had bonded in the morning and Kellen came out with a new do. I really think that it fits his personality!

We started the day at Marilyn and Jim's house for a little birthday lunch.

After JT blew out the candles, the vultures attacked the candles to get the frosting off (33candles cleared in about a minute). It was like a feeding frenzy. Brennen's in the background going, "Hey, what about me?"

Then we headed over to the lake for some boating, swimming and dinner at Gapetto's (a nice Italian restaurant).


The kids love their Shirley Temples. Then Brennen decided to put on a cuteness show and had everyone smiling:)

Nothing is better than a sand (rock) box!

James and Kellen don't often play together (James is usually connected to Skylar's hip), so when I looked out the window and saw this site, my heart melted. They played the whole afternoon together and had a lot of fun!

What do we do all day without Skylar and James?

These two laugh a lot together without their older siblings. Today, the tupperware cabinet was the best!


I just really like this picture of Brenne!
