Short Stuff Can be a Pirate Too

Lately, a topic of discussion around our house concerns Kaitlin and whether or not she is going to be a tomboy or a princess like Jaeda. She adores both her brother and sister, but she truly thrives on Brice's play. She likes being knocked around, and the "boy" games that he tries teaching her. It is really cute. Her very favorite thing lately is swordfighting...Brice has six swords and they love hitting each others swords (and Brice is very careful). She is our little pirate pea. Oh and you can also see from the picture that she is a sword swallower as well. True talent runs in this family. :)

This week was the first of 7 music classes that Jaeda and Kaitlin are taking...they love it! I am so excited that we have found something that Jaeda loves as much as playing mommy to her babies. She was a terrific student and participated in all of the songs, dancing, and instruments. Kaitlin loved climbing and sitting on top of the drums and playing with her friends. Our Wed. playgroup is taking the class together, so that makes it even more fun! For more pics, click on this link

So Proud of Our Ringbearer

This past weekend, Brice and I drove down to Riverside for Brad's cousin, Amanda's wedding. We stayed in West Covina with Great Grandma and Papa Joe and had a wonderfully relaxing time with them, then joined in the wedding festivities on the weekend. Brice had no idea what a wedding was, and definitely thought it was a "princess" thing. When Amanda got out of the limo in her dress, he told her that she looked so pretty, and his face was totally honest. He thought she looked GORGEOUS! And she did. He did a great job walking down the aisle, may have been a little TOO helpful with his cousin Kaileigh by trying to take her hand and walk her down (she didnt like this very much), but they were all so cute and it was great. We relaxed and spent time with Grandma and Papa Joe the rest of the time, went swimming, bike riding, and shopping, and by Sunday, we were VERY ready to get home to Daddy and the girls.

Sleepless on the Sofa

KJ konked out on Mamaw

Kaitlin LOVES Mamaw's spaghetti
My first time making Granny's cheesebraids...quite the pastry chef, I am.
Lots of love before school.

I am up at 12:15 because I cannot for the life of me, sleep...I know that my friend Abby is having a baby as we speak, across the country, and I am DYING to know how things are going...and it is way too late to call. But, since I am up, I will go ahead and post pictures from my mom's visit. She was here for 2 weeks and left this past Saturday. We had a great time hanging out with the kids (who adore her), and my friends had a great time with her too. It was very fun for me to have the people who mean the most to me (my best friends), meet and get to know my mom and to have her get to know them. Brice keeps asking to see his "Kentucky Mamaw." :) The kiddos sure do love her.
Oh, I would also like to add that I won a FREE ONE YEAR MEMBERSHIP to my gym!!! My friend Rebecca joined under me 2 weeks ago, so both of our names went into a raffle...there were 3 names picked before me, but none of those people were represented at the drawing, then my name was called!!! I am so excited, thank you Lord for this gift!
(I guess that He knew I would need extra motivation when it comes time to renew my membership in 2008)
