4 Generations!

So I have been a major slacker lately blogging about my kids. I decided I need to do it at least once a week so I can keep track somewhat of where all my pictures are from...so I am going to get better and try to include some of the ones I skiped until I get completly caught up. With that being said I can't believe summer is almost over and football season is just around the corner. We have had a very busy summer so far, I had a girls weekend to Chicago, training for a triathlon, Kenady and I have been to 5 parades, and lots of fun grill outs with family and friends. This weekend was no different but we made the long trip to Cedar Falls to stay at a hotel with Nick's family. We were all together including his and uncle Tim and Lori from Illinois to celebrate Grammies 77th birthday and Rex and Glenda's anniversary. All the kids had a great time in the pool, but I was surprised to find out that I actually live with two fish. Klark and Kenady have no fear in the water and would have stayed in all day and night if we would have let them. It was a fun weekend and even got in a few beers with Tanya, John, Nick, and Rexy.

Klark 8 Months Old and the Kitty Saga Continues

Smile big boy!

Klark and his mama

Klark is 8 Months old already---I can't believe it! He still loves all his little people towns including his sisters doll house for little people. He has mastered the army crawl and is starting to try out his knees more every once in awhile. He has also started to really become a mama's boy...I'm not complaining. He always crawls after me and wants me to hold him. I actually love it! He continues to think his sister is a comedian and laughs at everything she does. His favorite food is probably sweet potatoes, but we have yet to find something he won't eat yet. He does really good at BEST Kids, he gets a lot of attention every morning when we come in. His sister however is very protective and let's everyone know that Klark is hers!

The kitty saga also continues. If you look back you will see super cute little black kitties. Well the kitties are getting bigger and a lot harder to catch. Kenady is finally somewhat holding them properly instead of by the neck. She still thinks they are her kitties...which is fine as long as they continue to live at the neighbors!

Busy Busy...Fun Fun

Two cool guys!
Estelle, Ava, & Kenady

Two silly girls!

Takinga little break from the pool party!

Crazy Block Lady

Look at me mom on the steps by myself!

Can you tell they are related?

We had a busy day today. The kids played in the basement an we tried to capture some pics of them together. You can def tell they are sister and brother. Then Grandma Mary called up and said that Kenady should come over for a pool party with cousin Maddie. Then we headed over to Bonzer's for some grilling and games. What a fun day!

My Little Swimmer

Kenady got to take a 6 week swim session this summer at Beaver Hills Country Club. They got to walk there from school and get lessons by the life guards that work there. I got to watch her a couple times and she is very brave. She learned how to blow bubbles and dive for ring toss. They even got her to go down the slide in the deep end. She loved it I'm not sure if it was part of her swimsuit obsession. This summer she has repeatedly had to wear a swim suit out in public or take one with her. She says My Suit My Suit...I'm not sure but I'm just glad she has more than one suit!

Party Time! Klark 7 Months old and Kenady 29 Months Old

Kenady and Lo-Dog

My two favorite boys!

Both kids have gotten so big it's hard to keep up anymore. Klark is once again just as tall as some one year olds (Lauren Muller) and Kenady is turning into such a little lady. She loves purses, high heels, getting her toes polished, and playing with mom's makeup. We got to have a fun time over at the Tagtow's playing yard games, eating, drinking, and watching the kids play together. They all seem to get along really well. It will be fun to watch them grow up together!

29 Months Old

Kenady is getting really old these days her eye sight is really starting to go. She said her eyes hurt from the sun so next thing we know she went to the bathroom and came out with band-aids on our her eyes! She continues to be so silly...it just keeps getting better with her!

6 Months Old Appt--almost 7 months old

I'm not afraid of any shots!
Okay, maybe they hurt a little

Nah...I'm tough

Well Klarky has surpassed his sisters weight when she was a year old (Kenady was 19lbs at her 1 year appt). Today he weighed in at 20.9lbs and 29.5" long. Dr. Sims said that he was even a little light for his height. I laughed...he is all boy that is for sure. The Dr. said everything looked great and we had a healthy beautiful boy (which I already knew). He did great during his shots he did one short little cry and that was it. I was more bothered by it then he was. Klark is def all over the place and will soon be perfecting his crawl. All he does right now is a backwards scoot. I was always worried when I was pregnant with Klark that I would not be able to love him as much as I loved Kenady or Nick, but I've learned that I have more love to give then I ever thought. I'm so blessed to have two beautiful healthy kids and I love them more than I ever thought I could love something.

K Buzz to the Rescue

All geared up to go to Toy Story 3!
The movie was great, but very exhausting!

Nick and I had been wanting to take Kenady to Toy Story 3 and she had to wear her Buzz LightYear pajamas to the movies and take her Buzz Lightyear Toy. She even had to wear her PJ's to day care and spent a whole two days only answering to K-Buzz and not Kenady. She puts her arms up in the air and pretends to fly around. She did a great job at the movie, except we went to the 3D one and she did not want to wear her glasses--she still enjoyed it though!

Peas please or not peas please?

Klarkys first solids were peas. He seemed like he was really enthused and excited about trying something new.

4th Of July

The rain stopped enough for the parade, but we didn't get to see any fireworks this year. We did go to Reinbeck again and watched the parade with the Metz's and Lebahn's. Kenady and Maddie are too funny together...except Maddie did not like the fire trucks loud sirens. Klark however it did not even phase him. Hopefully next year they can enjoy some fireworks!
