A little jealous

McKenzie has recently learned to roll. When she first started doing it I would always make a big deal about it and give her a lot of attention. When I give Kenzie the attention I think Parker is thinking in his head, big deal who doesn't know how to roll? Today I tried to get her rolling on video. Whenever I started filming Parker would roll over, showing me how easy it is to roll. Then he would get impatient that it was taking McKenzie so long, so he would just turn her over himself.

Loving the warm weather

Check out my new sweet ride. Because Earth day was last week all I keep hearing is "Go Green." I have to admit the purchase of this trailer was not exactly to go green. We bought it with the hope to save some green. Gas is getting so expensive, I feel guilty when I drive places just to get the kids out of the house. Now I not only get the kids out, but can get some exercise at the same time. Parker loves it, Kenzie could care less as long as has her binky can come she is happy.




Anthony even said he is going to start riding to school.












The weather has been pretty nice lately. Yesterday Parker's friend Ciella invited him and Weston to come swimming.











Sometimes Parker kills me, when we came home from Ciella's Parker refused to wear a shirt. I could do nothing to convince him that putting on a shirt was a good choice. I tackled him and put it on, he was so furious, he took it off(He has only taken his shirt off one time before that). As a mother I have to choose my battles, and I decided this battle wasn't worth fighting.

Best Dentist Ever

Yesterday I went to see Anthony's good friend who is in his 3rd year of dental school. He filled some cavities and did some other work on my teeth. Not only did he provide me with free childcare (he talked his wife into watching my kids), but he let Anthony assist him with the procedures. I was very happy that only Andrew was allowed to drill, while Anthony had his first experience at washing and suctioning. Andrew was a good teacher, and taught Anthony some things he wished he would have known before he started seeing patients. He gave me some good advice many of you fellow dental wives should hear. Don't let your husband do anything but clean your teeth until he is in his second semester of his 3rd year.

Great News

A speech therapist evaluated Parker yesterday and said that he qualifies for the Early Intervention Program. This program sounds amazing, it will provide Parker with at home speech therapy twice a week, and a hearing test. Our insurance for some reason won't even help pay one penny for a hearing test, so I have just been waiting to see if he qualifies for this program. One of the reasons I think this program is so amazing is they will cover every expense the insurance won't cover, so now we can get the hearing test and see if he needs tubes in his ears. I have never participated in a program offered by the state until I moved to New York, and am so grateful that there are programs like this that out there. A post isn't as fun unless there is at least one picture to look at, so here you go:
Kenzie loves to smile and laugh.
Here is Parker doing one of his favorite things: eating.
One more of Kenzie, I just love how cute she looks with her bow.

Lucky You

Anthony and I rented Lucky You last nite. I was knot such a fan, eye feel like it was a waist of my thyme. Have ewe ever been flipping threw the t.v. channels and stumble upon a poker tournament? Poker tournaments are just as boring as watching golf on t.v. Lucky Ewe is like watching a Poker Tournament. If ewe were thinking about renting it don't bother leaving the house, just turn the channel to a poker tournament and watch it for 2 minutes. It will save you thyme, gas and the buck it costs to rent a movie at Red Box.

P.S. Due ewe notice any misspellings inn my post?

McKenzie 4 months

McKenzie is 4 months old and a complete joy to this family. I took her to the doctor today and she is 13lbs, she is just a petite little thing. She is amazing. Yesterday I decided I was tired of her playing me, and that I would no longer rock her to sleep. It took 2 times of tough love and she can now put herself to sleep in about 5 minutes. What an accomplishment.

Last month my friends Rozannah and Candice did a photo shoot for McKenzie. They warned me before the photo shoot they just do it for fun and are not that good . The pictures they took were absolutely amazing. Take a look for yourself:

True Confession

I just need to get this off my chest. I was asked to bring a treat to a party Anthony and I were invited to last weekend. Do to my love of chocolate chip cookies, that is the treat I decided to make. I doubled the batch so I would have extra for my family. The recipe doubled was supposed to make 6 dozen cookies. I only took 2 dozen to the party. It is only 3 days later and all the cookies are gone. I did share the cookies with Anthony, Parker and a couple choice friends, but I am pretty sure I ate at least 2 dozen on my own. Here comes the confession I still have a good sized Tupperware full of cookie dough in the fridge hiding for only me to enjoy. Someone once told me that eating raw eggs(which happens to be in the cookie dough) can kill me. All I have to say is if it does, I am going to die a very happy women.
