Hangin in my highchair...

Kennedy is just hangin out while mom gets everything ready for valentines. We had to get the house cleaned and decorated for daddy's surprise. She just hung out in her highchair playing with her toys (she is such a good girl).

Happy Valentines Day Matty Mo...

Matthew,
We just wanted to tell you Happy Valentines Day. I sure hope you had a fun day at school, with all your "Valentines" because I know you have plenty. The girls and I wanted to say thank you for our cards and Sorry yours is late....It's coming so keep an eye open for it. Reagan was so excited to get mail. We love you tons.

Peekaboo...

We were all getting ready for bed. Kennedy's door was cracked so I guess she could hear us. I peeked in at her and she was trying so hard to look over her bumper. It was the cutest thing so I grabbed the camera. I started taking pictures then I kissed her good night and said "ni-night." I guess it wasn't what she wanted to hear and she started puckering her lips. She needed to be loved for a little bit longer needless to say. She's getting 4 top teeth all at once. Not fun for our little cuddlebug. She's had a hard time going to sleep lately.

Best Buds...

I came downstairs to Reagan playing with Kennedy. It was the cutest thing, she just loves her little sister. I am so happy that they get along so well. Whenever Kenner's is sad or fussy, Reg's comes along then all of a sudden she is happier than a peach. I can do everything in my power to get Kennedy to giggle and she doesn't (she will smile from ear to ear, but no giggles). Reagan can walk into the room and this girl is crackin up. It is hilarious to watch.

Our sick girl.....

Our little one hasn't been feeling so well. She woke up yesterday with a fever and slept all day long. She woke up today and said "Mommy Reggy's hot. I no feel good." She has just been talking away while laying her little head down. It is amazing when kids are sick how they try so hard to do there daily things. She would lift her little head up and tell me "Mommy head heby"(heavy). She finally fell asleep. She is such a little trooper! Always has to have those "stinky fingies" (as she would say) in her mouth. We hope to see her getting better here soon. Her little sister Kennedy has been sick for a week and a half now. Mom's ready for everyone to get better.

Reg's Pre-School sign up.....

Today we went over and met "Miss Julie" as Regs says. She runs Watch Me Grow Pre-School. I have heard nothing but great things about her and her mother "Gramma Smith". Nate and I are so excited, but yet kind of sad to think she is old enough for "Pre-School". Where did the years go. When Regs and I walked up, Miss Julie was outside. She greeted us then walked us in to show us around. It is really neat. Reagan flocked right over to a big doll house she has and just started playing. Miss Julie asked her "Are you going to come and play with me Reagan?" Regs response was "Uh-Huh!" I think she will just love it. Pre-school won't start until August, but we are excited for the big mile stone. Mom and Dad love you Sis!!!

Flushin the Panties...

Tonight we were at Gram and Papa's house. Reagan has been potty training and doing pretty well. When it comes to poopin, not so good! Well, she had a little accident and daddy was helping her clean up. He dicided to rinse the "puppy panties" in the toilet. For some reason he flushed thinking he had a good hold of the "puppy panties". Well, he didn't and "slurp"! There they went. Reagan said "Oh heck Dad you flushin the Puppy Panties!" It was the cutest thing.

Reagan's Art.....

This is easy and mess free entertainment. I am one of those mean moms that doesn't like mess. (I am getting better). We bought the color wonder paint brushes and paper, Reagan absolutely loves to color and make stuff. It keeps her entertained for an hour or so LOL! We have tons of her beautiful art scattered all over the house and walls. As you can see she doesn't like to be interupted when she is "cudder me" as she would say. (coloring) She gets really serious and tells me "Mom go away, I cudder me." Regs your mommy's little bugabug.....I love you!

Reg's in Kenner's Bed...

Reagan thinks she needs to be in Kennedy's bed all the time so I put her in one day to see what she would do. I started talking to her like a baby and she got mad at me, "Mommy I not a baby!" She had a good time laying by her "sisser" in her bed. My 2 little stinky girls...Where is our brother when we need him?

Kenners eating prunes.....

These pictures were taken January of this year when "Kenners" started solids. It was actually kind of funny watching her eat prunes. She didn't like them very much the first couple of bites, but after a minute she ate them right up. She is such a joy, now that we have figured her out. The first 4 1/2 months were hard trying to figure out the "Acid Reflux" and the right dose of meds. Now like I said she is such a joy. I think she might be even more laid back then her Papa! Kenners we love you sis!

Tired Baby...

Kennedy decided to take a nap on Matty's blankets. I was cleaning and Matt was reading his book. Kennedy was laying next to him playing. Next thing we knew she was sleeping.

Matty's book report......

Our Matty Mo came to visit us for christmas break. He didn't tell us he was supposed to be reading a book for a book report. I found out 4 days before he had to go home and the book had 431 pages. We decided to buckle down and get the book read. It took him about 4 hours one night, all day Saturday and a couple of hours each day between, but he got it read and had to write 3 sentences for each chapter. I hope he got a good grade because he really worked hard. It surprised me how determined he was to get it read and get his book report done. I am so thankful for how much he loves to read. Matty I love you tons bud.

Christmas Morning 07......

The "Ebay Queens" hard at work.....

Our husbands call us the ebay queens here in this picture. Andy and Lauren want to sell a bunch of stuff on ebay and I have an account so we thought we would get together, take pictures and list some stuff (I was going to show "Lou Lou" how to do it). The furthest we got was we took pictures of everything. What a pain in the butt it is to list stuff. It takes forever. If anyone knows a shortcut....let us know PLEASE!!!

One of our Family Traditions.....

One of our family traditions at Christmas time are to go to eachother's homes to see how we have all decorated. In the past we would do a pergresive dinner (where we would eat and appitizer at the first persons house, a salad or whatever the theme is for the year at the next persons house, the main course at the next persons house and then dessert at the next persons house). This year was "Hermy" and "Lou Lou's" first Christmas married and their first year to contribute. So my Mother in law figured since there was 5 Sundays in December we would each host a Sunday. I was first and I just made a dinner and dessert and we watched some football of course. Meggy was second and she made dinner and had donuts for dessert and we talked about the family we were going to help out this year for Christmas. Before we left the Beecher's home "Hermy" gave all the kids these little papers. He told them to read them and then give them to their parents. When we read them they basically said "get ready for tons of fun and bring some mittens." We were all kind of like what do they have up there sleeves. Mind you all of the kids just love them because they are just the funnest to be with. So their Sunday they had all kinds of finger foods and desserts. They had planned all kinds of games it was so much fun. The reason the kids needed mittens was they had wrapped little gifts in tons of boxes and they had to race to open them with the mittens on. It was so fun. The kids just loved it. Regs just loves her little babies. The 4th Sunday was Carrie's and she served some really yummy cinnamon rolls. Then the last Sunday my in-laws served prime rib dinner. It is really a great family tradition I hope we do for many more years.

Reagan was so patient. She just said "Daddy hep me." It was so much fun to watch the kids.

It's finally over. She looked over at me and said "Look Mommy, I got babies. I got babies Mom!"

Thank you "Hermy" and "Lou-Lou"!!!!
