Kenzie's 5

We spent the day spoiling her rotten, she loved it.

Trophy Ceremony

Parker had another great soccer season.

Parker is the AR Star

Parker was the AR(Accelerated Reader) Star of the month for his classroom.  This won him a trophy, a special ceremony with delicious desserts, and most important a picture with his principal.

Longest Soccer Season Ever

Kaitlynn begged me and Anthony to put her in soccer.  She went to one practice and decided she hated it.  Anthony and I made her follow through with her commitment and took her to every game and practice, it was torturous.  Kaitlynn stood on the field with her saddest grumpy face and rarely kicked the ball.  I tried to bribe her with the world, but she wouldn't have it.  No snack, tv show, movie, game, play date or present was worth it to her to play.

At the 2nd to last game a miracle happened, she played the whole game.

She didn't make one goal but she ran with the pack of kids (not caring too much about the ball):

She may be trouble, but she couldn't have been any cuter all geared up for her soccer game:

As for Parker, he rocked it.  He is getting good and likes to play.  December is the perfect soccer weather in Florida.

McKenzie's Picture

McKenzie is obsessed with belly buttons, she puts one on every person she draws.

Mason's Birthday

 Mason is 1

Here are his stats:

Height:  29 inches

Weight: 21lbs 6 oz

Head:  18.18 inches

My favorite things about Mason is he randomly rests his head on things.  He often walks up to Anthony or me and, if we are sitting he rests his head on our lap, if we are standing he gives our leg a hug and keeps his head rested on our leg.  He will randomly rest his head on a couch or another person.  Occasionally when he falls he will be about to get up then decide to rest his head on the ground for like 20 seconds, when he is done he jumps right up and plays.

He knows how to:

Clap

Wave

Give 5

Drink from a straw

He can't hold still for more than 2 seconds unless he is eating or sleeping.

His favorite foods are: banana, warm bowl of oatmeal & chicken nuggets.

He is full of smiles and is a very content kid.

His favorite past times are throwing things down the stairs, shutting doors(and by so doing he locks himself in rooms) then screaming until someone opens it, throwing things in the toilet

It is crazy how many changes can happen just because he is one:
No more bottles

Face forward in the car seat.

He can eat peanut butter, eggs, honey

He hand feeds himself and no more baby food.

Last but certainly not least isn't his sweater adorable?  Anthony's mom hand made it, she is amazing.

Stop man

Parker had the whole week off for Thanksgiving.  One day all his siblings were napping, so this is how he kept himself busy.  He made a stop sign with a matching stop hat, then walked back and forth across the road stopping traffic.  Thank goodness we live in a cul-de-sac so not too many people had to stop while he crossed.
