Bath Time!!!

I had dinner with a friend last night and Tony (and the kids) took it upon themselves to bath Kozmo...in their tub.  Wasn't that so thoughtful!!!!  Who wants to take a bath now?  :)

Today Carter had a check up with the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor to check his tubes.  The right tube is great, but the left tube is out of place and there is fluid in there.  They are going to recheck him in 6 weeks.  Hopefully the tube will fall out and/or the fluid will go away.  If it becomes infected then we will have to do tubes again.  :(  Right now he has a cold and hasn't complained about his ears at all so lets hope that continues.  He got a Woody sticker that made him very happy and Kennedy got a Justin Beiber sticker.  She was very embarrased and said, "Daddy is going to scream!"  We then went to Tony's office to show him and he wasn't happy (only joking) which made Kennedy's day!!  The girls at Tony's office gave them a sucker and on the way home we ate our suckers and listened to the our Kids Bop 19 CD(google it). 

Quote of the day: "I have a Justin Beiber sticker, eating a sucker and listening to a Justin Beiber song.  Aren't I just the luckiest little girl in the whole wide world, Mom?"

SPRING TIME!!!!

We decided to do a little planting today.  Carter is planting tomatoes and Kennedy is planting flowers.  They will grow in these nice little containers until we kill them...I mean until we have delicious tomatoes and beautiful flowers.  I think Kennedy just wanted to do it so she could get new gardening gloves!

Posing with planters...

...dropping in the seeds...

...over the whole project!  Oh and Carter needed to blow his nose.  :)

As if the big boy bed isn't bad enough (I mean we are through with the baby stage) the Binky Fairy came today and took Carter's binky.  He got a Kazoo in its place which Carter loves but I would like to punch the Binky Fairy for that one.  Needless to say he works it perfectly.  Anyway, no more binkys, no more cribs.  Just Tony and I and our BIG kids.  (Insert heavy sigh here.)  :)

The bed has a trundle bed so that is his little step.



Big sis is so proud!!!



Sleeping...

I know it has been a very long time since my last post however something wonderful yet sad(for mama) happened this weekend.  We took out Carter's crib and moved his big boy bed in his room.  He did great!  Yesterday at nap was the first try and he went right to sleep!  Bedtime took a little encouragement from Dad, but he slept all night.  Today at nap was the same thing.  No problem and slept for 2 hours.  He is doing great and thinks he is pretty cool.  I'm a little sad that we no longer have a crib in the house.  Not sad enough to have another baby, but still sad.  :)  They grow up so fast!!!!

My mom brought the kids gingerbread cookies and read the kids the Gingerbread Man story.  The kids loved the story and the cookies!!

Papa reading the newspaper ads to Carter while he sneaks something out of Nona's purse.  :)

 

Christmas 2010



Kennedy got Carter this magna-doodle and I think it was his favorite gift!!

A little love for sissy!



More Christmas....

Carter got Kennedy a Ken doll.  She was very happy.  Now her Barbies had someone to get married to.  Even though she sometimes says it is their brother...  :)

Thank you Aunty Jill and Uncle Chris for the peanuts characters!!!

Thanks Porter for the Buzz!  Carter loves it!

Nona and Papa enjoying the crazy show!!

Christmas Morning!!

Santa brought Kennedy a Barbie house and Carter (with the help of Papa) got a toolbench.

Kennedy was so excited.  Of course through my tired eyes, I took a very blurry reaction shot, but here is a very happy little girl!

Carter was very happy with the toolbench.

Papa got a hard hat from the construction company that he is working with on the new high school in GC.  He thinks he is very official now! Surprisingly, jk, it fits his large melon head!

Busy, busy!

Tony got a new razor and Carter had to try it out!

Uncle Matt probably trying to get some quiet time was interrupted by 2 very curious elves.

Papa set up his trains and the kids loved it!

Katie made Kennedy up and she was still letting her nails dry when they snuggled with Papa.

Merry Christmas from Garden City!!!

Last week Kennedy went to the dentist for the first time.  She didn't have any cavities, but the dentist said she had a broken molar.  They are going to seal it just so there isn't a concern for a cavity, but no other problems.  Here is a picture of Kennedy in the dentist chair(notice the feet crossed!).  She didn't cry or complain once.  She did so good.  She had told several people about her experience and every time she tells them about the tooth she says, "Don't panic.  It is just a broken tooth.  No cavities!"  Too much!

Kennedy and Carter had their 4 and 2 year-old check ups today. Everything went well. Here are their staats.
Kennedy-
41 inches tall-74%
38.8 pounds-75%

The doctor asked her if we had a Christmas tree up yet and this was Kennedy's response, "We have everything under control and we're all ready to go." The doctor obviously has no concern with her speech.  :)
Carter-
36 inches tall-80%
29.6 pounds-63%
Head-51.4 cm-97% (not that anyone is surprised!)

We had a party at our moms group last week and Santa came!!!

Santa read a story to the kids.  Kennedy loved it.

Carter loved the candy cane!

Happy Birthday, Kennedy!!!
