We took Kennedy to the circus, again. We must be crazy, but it is what she prays for every night. Really, "Jesus, thank you for the circus." C'mon you would take her too! :)
A very excited Daddy that was suckered into a bunch of snacks! :)
A cotton candy cutie!

A very happy momma and a boy who thinks he is going to eat! :)

The wonderful circus!


A very happy little girl!




Carter is really enjoying his food these days. Since moving past the texture issue, I am happy to report that he has liked everything I have put in front of him.

Here are some very scary monster. I don't know why but Kennedy always wants to make scary faces when she takes pictures. Although judging by my face, you would think I like it just as much!

Finally!!!
It has been awhile since the last post, but here are a few to get you by. Hopefully I will have Easter's pictures up soon.
This was taken a week ago, but Carter has become quite vocal. He likes to wait until Kennedy goes down for her nap and then he just talks and talks. Probably because that is when he can get a word in!
Carter still hasn't taken to baby food. He will probably go from milk to cheeseburgers like Kennedy did. Nonetheless, he likes to hangout with Kennedy and I when we have breakfast. I can't believe he can still fit in the bumbo.
We had a few days when we were sure that there was an ark coming soon. It rained everyday. kennedy learned and new song. Hopefully you can understand what song it is.



We went to the park at our church. Kennedy had a great time and was fearless. We are in big trouble!

Kennedy has been going to gymnastics. She just started at the beginning of February and really likes it. Here are a few pictures of her.

Kennedy can stand on her head and balance by herself! Unfortunately the camera person was too slow to catch it without the teacher's help.


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.
