A week of firsts......

Kennedy gets her hair cut.

This is the after picture. She just got a trim. :)

Carter eats cereal.....

...not sure if he likes it....

......and didn't like it. :) Surprising because he doesn't usually refuse food.

Although he is not sitting up, it looks like he can because of the big belly.

Shots day!

Carter had his 4 month check-up today. Here are his stats.

Height: 24 1/2 inches

Weight: 18 pounds 4 ounces

Head: 17 inches

Clearly he is in the 90th percental for everything. The doctor asked if I was making cream instead of just milk...hmm..I won't take offense to that. :)

This past Saturday we went to the Shriner's circus. We had a great time. Katie Compton..I mean Koester, went with us. Kennedy was mesmerized!

A clown face.

She really like the trapeze people...the flying somethings. :)

Lions and tigers!

Kennedy rode the elepant. She loved it and wasn't afraid at all.

I am so embarassed to say that Carter was baptized a week ago Sunday and I am just now getting the pictures on the blog. Sorry! Judging by the smile on Carter's face he had a good time! My brother Matt and Tony's sister Katie are the godparents. Thanks!

Kennedy was fearless. She went right up to the animals and fed them. It was really cool.

Our cousin Porter had is first birthday party on Valentine's day-his birthday at the zoo in Salina. It was very cool and the kids were able to go through the petting zoo. Kennedy loved it!

Kennedy is petting some kind of flying squirrel. I didn't get her petting the giant cockroach. It was from Madagascar which she was very excited about, but I think we can do without a picture of it. :)

Playing the bean bag game. It will surprise no one that Kennedy kept collecting all of the bean bag frogs and then was "in charge" of handing them out to the other kids. She, of course, put herself in charge.

Having a pink cupcake.

Kennedy and I made cookies for Tony to take to work for Valentien's Day. We had such a good time. Kennedy loves to help in the kitchen! The pictures were taken over 2 days. The first one she had pants on, but they got flour on them and she took them off. I promise, we typically cook with clothes on! :) The second picture is Kennedy being Vanna White. The bottom picture of the finished project illustrates that the lid to the sprinkles might have fallen off on the pink heart with ALOT of sprinkles. It was still pretty!

The kids and I went to Garden City to give Tony a little quiet time. I think he missed the craziness! :) Here are a few of the trip. Thanks for the fun times Nona and Papa!

Carter really liked Nona and Papa's bed. Don't get any ideas, buddy. Back to the crib for you!

Kennedy is a great helper. She even fed Carter a bottle the other day! What a big sis!

It has been very nice the last couple of days. Kennedy and I have enjoyed being outside. As you can see below, Carter didn't like it so much. :)

Look at this little model!

We celebrated Christmas with Tony's family. Here are a few pictures of the fun!

Kennedy riding on the tractor with Grandpa and Jenna.

Kennedy got a suitcase from Grandpa and Ruth. She thinks she is very important now that she has a suitcase.

Poor Carter! This is only the beginning, friend! I love how innocent Kennedy looks as she has him in a headlock.

Kennedy got a new purse from Nana. She even got jewelery. HOT STUFF!

Carter taking a break. On December 29th, Carter had a doctor appt (2 month) and he weighed 14 pounds 5 ounces. Yes, that is the size of a 4 month old. What? My babies like to eat!

Our family. :)


Kennedy helping Katie open a present. She loved that part!

Thank you Papa Jon for the awesome cradle! Kennedy's baby sleep very well. If they don't they go to time out. :)

Tony's brother, Chad, and Carter.

The weather was pretty nice the day after Christmas. Here is Kennedy with the boys. :)

Christmas Morning!

Cousin Porter and Kennedy. Porter is licking the spoon after Kennedy made breakfast.
Daddy and Kennedy opening her stocking. Santa brought her big girl underwear...what a treat!

Santa brought Kennedy a new kitchen to Nona ana Papa's house so they brought it with them :). to Topeka. Kennedy loves it. She got an apron and makes breakfast all the time.

My family came to our house for Christmas. Everyone was able to come so we had 13 people, including kids. It was so much fun having everyone here.

We spent some time with Tony's grandmother before Christmas. Here are a few pictures.
