Hurry RUN fast

Kooper is potty trained and has been for about 2 months. It took him a full month to be completely potty trained (morning and night). Anyway, every time that he comes and tells me that he has to go potty I say, "ok, hurry run fast!" Well, he just takes off running...anywhere as fast as he can. His little arms get to pumping and his legs go as fast as they can possibly can go. He doesn't even know where he is running to but he just runs. We seriously laugh so hard over this. I guess I need to be more specific and say, "ok hurry run fast to the bathroom." Since he has been doing this for so long he now thinks that he is so funny and makes me chase him down every time.

Half a year

I can't believe that our little Jett is 6 months old!

Time passes so quickly.

She is just the sweetest little girl.

She never makes a peep unless it is necessary.

I so deserve her after having Kooper:)

The kids love to sit around and watch her.

She gets more snuggles and kisses than anyone.

She makes our life just that much better!

Kali loves to sleep and play.

She loves her little saucer.

She loves attention from all her siblings.

She lights up when she sees them.

She rolls all over the place.

She sits up with help.

She loves books.

I love her hair.

Kali Jett at 6 months

24 in. (7th percentile)

11.2 lbs (3rd percentile)

I seriously love that she is staying so little for so long.

She is my baby and I love it!

Playing catch up

I am playing catch up because I have just been totally slacking lately. I don't know what it is but I can not get myself to do a post. We haven't really had anything exciting happen but I do have lots of pictures.

For New Years we all decided to take the kids sledding. It ended up being quiet memorable. We took my Dad's Artic Cat out with us to pull the kids in sleds behind it. The kids were loving it until the Artic Cat got stuck. Then to top it off, Luke's Dad, Roger got his car Montero stuck trying to pull the Artci Cat out. It was really funny and we had a good laugh. Kooper was the most excited about it. He didn't even know what sledding was. He just knew that he got to wear his winter clothes, boots, hat and gloves. He was ready to go. He was just happy! He was standing in the backseat of the truck looking out the window just waiting to get there. I turned around to check on him and he was asleep standing up! I couldn't wake him up for anything. I took him out of the truck and walked him around and everything. He was out cold! When he did wake up he was on the couch and he never even knew he had missed a thing.

This picture is of Kooper sleeping, standing up in the backseat with his head against the door.

We moved him next to Kyron and he just snuggled right up.

I think this is my favorite picture of the day!

I love Kason's smile.

It is so real!

He was so happy to be sledding.
Kooper likes to lay on my parents bed and watch t.v.

He really wanted Kali to join him.

So here is the 2 of them hanging out in their pj's.

Another one of Kooper sleeping.

It is funny how I find him in such random sleeping positions.

Amanda and Kevin (and Kevin's Dad, Dennis) came to visit last weekend. Kevin is such a good sport. Kenzi bugs him to death. She loves to play with him.

Kali is growing so fast.

She is still so tiny!

Here she is eating carrots.

She didn't really know what to think.My boys in their Sunday best.

I love to see little boys in white shirts and ties.

I think they look so handsome.

Kooper loves to wear a tie like the boys too!

I've been busy

This post is a little old, but I am going to post it anyway.

My computer was down for the last week and it is so sad that I feel so disconnected to the outside world. Luke finally got it up and running (thank you). This time of year is always busy crazy and so much fun. A little news some of you already know, we are moving. Yes, again. We are heading back to Eagar. This has really been a blessing to us in so many ways. We weren't too sure about it at first but the more the idea was talked about the more we knew it was what we were suppose to do. I won't go into much detail but things just work out the way they are suppose to. My kids are thrilled to be living close to their grandparents. The older my kids get, the more great influences in their lives they need. I am truly grateful for this chance. We will be building a house and that is super exciting to us. Luke's job remains exactly the same and so does mine:) So this Christmas has been crazy! We are moving the day after Christmas so you can imagine how busy we have been. We have pretty much everything packed up except Christmas.

Since this post lots has happened. We have moved and are trying to get situated. Finding a place for everything just takes time. We had a wonderful Christmas. The older 3 all got Nintendo DS'. Santa must have thought they were pretty good this year. They have all been such great helpers in this move. I haven't yet down loaded Christmas pictures, that will have to wait. But I had a few on here from before.

Lately Kooper has been giving Kali alot of extra attention.

He loves to hold her and she doesn't mind at all.

Kenzi continues playing in the snow.

She loves her new beanie that I made for her.

I just thought this picture was funny. Kali loves Luke and lights up whenever he walks in the room. She is totally chilled out on him. (Kenzi snapped this picture)I know I've said this before but Kyron is an amazing big brother. He will play and entertain Kooper anytime. Kooper was exhausted this day and had snuggled up to Kyron. They both fell fast asleep. Kyron is so great with little kids and is just a natural. It is fun to see him take care of Kooper and Kali. He just knows what to do with them. He is really sweet and gives up anything for Koop. Since I have totally been slacking I will finish with an entertaining story. Of course it is about Kooper. Since my last post about him sticking objects up his nose, he has managed to stick a few more up there. I have somehow gotten everything out. He even put a button up his nose Christmas morning but the day after Christmas he wasn't so lucky. He found a red button somewhere and stuck it waaaaay up his nose. We tried everything, and I mean everything to get it out. During his nap he snored SO loud. His nose was pretty stuffy anyway but he was having to walk around with his tongue stuck out just so he could breath. He didn't complain about it much. He told me right after he did it and was in the process of sticking another one up the other side. He obviously didn't learn from the other 5 times I had to fight to get the other objects out. After 9 hours of waiting and trying I finally had to take him to the Emergency Room. It was the saddest thing. It was so far up there that the Doctor couldn't see it. He said, "are you sure he stuck something up there"? I said, "yes, it is a big red button." They had to find a long awkward tool to fish out the HUGE red button. They wrapped him his a sheet and it took 3 of them to hold him down. It was really sad. They finally got it. It was so big! I don't know how he could even get it up there. The Dr. said, "it is as big as his nose!" It literally was. I am not sure what I am going to do with this little monster. He is such a bad boy! He had everyone in the ER just thinking he was the cutest thing. They all loved him. He was so friendly to everyone and told them Thank you! One nurse just kissed him and gave him 2 baggies full of toys! What in the world? Now he is going to think he gets a treat for sticking things up his nose. Well, lets hope not. It has been 5 days and he hasn't stuck anything up his nose, yet!

Even if he is a bad boy, he is a lovable one at that. We are constantly laughing at this child. He also loves his new hat that I made him. He would play outside in the snow all day if he could.

Snow days

This is what we woke up to yesterday!
It snowed all day and all night.
The kids haven't had school the last two days because of it!
We are suppose to get even more tonight.
If we do then school will be canceled again tomorrow.
The sun hasn't been out at all, so it just keeps getting deeper and deeper!
The kids are loving it!

What better way to end the last few days of school before Christmas break but to not have any school at all! When I was little I remember listning to the radio in the mornings to see if school was going to be canceled after a big snow storm. It didn't happen to often, but when it did we loved it!

What in the world??

Seriously. I can't catch a break with him! What was he thinking?

Random

This last week Kyron and Kason both got Character Counts Awards during an assembly. I am very proud of both of them. It is so funny to me that they both got one on the same day. What are the chances? Their teachers both had great things to say about them. Makes me proud:)

Kali looks way too little to be in her bumbo, but she rather enjoys it...ALOT!All I have to say about this picture of Kooper's hair is WOW!

This is what it looks like every morning and after naps.
