Kay - 4 years 4 months

Since I do a monthly update for LB I wanted to start one for Kay. She is growing so much I want to get this stuff written down so I don't forget it.

Some funny things she is saying right now.

Very serious 'Mama, Let me tell you a question.'

'Mama, just One more time, and one more time and one more time and one more time...' This goes on until say 'OK, only one more time.'

She is sooooo in love with Dinosaurs. She is convinced that we are going to go and get one in the jungle some day. She said that we will go and get a Long Neck and he will come and live in the back yard with Kobe and eat food with Kobe and live by the tree. She said we will get a green one and a pink one. I made the mistake once of telling her all Dino's were dead and she freaked out and said "No Mama, they are in the jungle, we are going to get one."

Everyone she meets is her new best friend. THe boys at soccer, the girls at school, the lady a the check out who is nice to her. She is friendly.



The best part of her right now is she still thinks her Dad is Prince Charming and I'm princess. What could be better than that.

Laney - 21 months

Wearing 3T and size 6 shoes. Basically Kay's clothes from 6 months ago. She is sooooo going to lap Kay soon.

Her personlity is really coming through lately. She is very head strong but also laid back if that makes any sense. She isn't scared to do anything but is very shy around people. She is a TOTAL Mama's girl sometimes too much so. You can spank her and she will just look at you like 'Is that all you got?'. I think she already has us totally figured out. We are definatly in trouble.

Bugs!!!! We love you, you big stinker





B doesn't understand it but this is my favorite part of her. I don't care how dirty she is I can't help but want to eat her chubby feet and legs.

Finally - Fall!!!!

We have finally gotten some cool weather. Kay has been wanting to play hopscotch so out we went.





Slug bug tried to steal all the chalk.












I love how her chubby feet turn in.

Game 2

This game was much cooler. Grandmaw and Grandpa M came to watch again. I didn't take as many pictures as I spent most of my time chasing LB around. That girl is not going to be fun during Basketbal Season.

I though I had made a big mistake putting two braids in Kay's hair as she was quite facinated with it.




Coach was making sure we had our shin guards in the right spot.




She is becoming more comfortable and playing alot more with the boys. Not that she was ever shy.






Because she is so small, she spends alot of her time in the back of the pack. She is also not very aggressive. But she has lots of fun.




Throwing the ball in again...

Parent Teacher Conference

Tonight we had our first Parent Teacher conference. It went pretty well. There are definately some areas where she can improve. She is very young in her class so her focus isn't so great. She is easily distracted. We also have been lax on writing her name and recognizing all of her letters. It was a nice wake up call to us to spend more time studying.

Earlier in the week we had received a naughty report that lots of kids were having trouble following direction after lunch. Kay was one of those kids. So we have also been working on her 'Buckle & Bubble' at home.





And the say having an infant is hard. I'm reminded everyday the great responsibility that God has placed in my hands and the work I must do to make sure I do everything I can to prepare her for the world.

Quiet=Trouble

LB has been loving her some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Tonight we ate some spaghetti which requires a mandatory strip down of the clothes. I don't normally have the girls in their skives because crazieness happens if they are in their panties. Kay is fine but LB is another story.

After letting her out of her chair, I began cleaning up. I basically have to hose down the whole room which meant she was left alone watching TV. When I finished I came upon this scene.







Reminding myself again why I always have to have pants on her.

Game 1

Game 1

The plus about Under 6 is they do not keep score. Of course, I'm sure some parents keep score but it is mostly just for kids to have fun and learn soccer.

Poor K is so tiny, her t-shirt swallowed her up.






We also found when searching for her soccer gear that it is hard to find shoes smaller than a size 9.5-10. Kay wears a 7. So. We put on two pair of socks.



Today was a doublely special day. It was Gaga & Papa's 40th wedding anniversary. Everyone came to eat lunch and watch Kay's first game.

It was VERY hot.




The Referee came by to check the kids shoes.


She then calls over the coach to tell him that Kay's mother, who knows nothing about soccer, put the shin guards on the outside of the socks.


Once the shin guards were placed in the right spot - the game could begin.




This is how focused she was on the game. She is waving to everyone.


I think throwing the ball in is the equivillent to playing Right Field in baseball. The star players don't throw the ball in. Kay throws the ball in alot.
