Mackenzie is really enjoying school. At Open House the teacher sent home a doll pattern, and the children were to decorate it making sure to include something from their heritage. I had my ideas of how it should be decorated and she had her own ideas. Well, her ideas were much better than mine! Just another lesson for mommy to learn about stepping back! She did a great job.





Ethan has had a tricycle and bicycle in our garage that have gone untouched for a very long time. Why? Because he never wanted to ride them. (It didn't help that he didn't know how to pedal.) Hey! It wasn't for lack of me trying to teach him! He just wasn't ready. Well, the time has come and he is now riding his tricycle. Soon we'll graduate to the bicycle.

Matt and Kim here


M:So what's shakin', Kim?
K:Nothin' much Matt. Couple cheeks, couple chins.
M:What's with the weird blog post?
K:Don't know. I didn't have anything better to post. But the vinyl toys are super cool!
M:Yeah! Thanks Leah! What happened to mini Kim's hands?
K:Don't ask me. Ask terremoto (english translation-earthquake; Cates translation-Ethan) UNKL toys rock.
M:You about done now, bizarro?
K:Yep.

Daddy's Home!




As soon as Matt got home from work one night last week, the kids attacked him. I couldn't resist taking some pics of their smack down. Don't worry LeeAnn! Matt didn't end up with a scary monster eye like Brent...not yet.

I Want a Pink Sock Monkey!




My li'l Livi visited a few weeks ago and I forgot to post the pictures of her and Mackenzie. My parents gave her a pink sock monkey, and she LOVED sucking on it's legs. She is so cute!!!
