Miss K, what can I say...she is a hoot! I just love having her around. She makes my days so fun and is blossoming into such a sweet and thoughtful little girl. I love that she has such a kind heart and is always thinking of others. She has such enthusiasm for the smallest of things and has a new loving for learning which is exciting for us as she will be entering into pre-school this fall. I will have more updates as her real 3rd birthday comes next month!

My One Year Old
To say this year has gone by fast is a major understatement. I can't get over that just one year ago we were just coming home from the hospital with this little newborn boy and wondering what life was going to be like as a family of 4. This little man keeps his mommy very busy all day and doesnt miss a beat. To also say that he is a momma's boy would be an understatement...if he is not around me, he is lookin around trying to find me. While I always thought this would be such a wonderful thing, it has started to bring on some frustration as one can imagine. Regardless, he is a great child and fills our lives with joy and excitement each day...we are blessed to have him!
His new favorite words are "Uh-Oh", "ball", "mama" (of course) & "dada". He is officially on all whole milk as we gave up nursing on his first birthday, and eats pretty much everything else in sight. He pulls up on everything and walks pretty well with his grocery cart walker. I am sure it will be another month or two before this little one masters walking.

Results of the circus photo booth! I don't know how so many managed to escape this...hmmm
Guess these were the only brave souls..
Under the Big Top Circus Party: Part 1
This past weekend we threw a CIRCUS party for Kennedy & Tate's birthdays. It was SO fun to plan and the party was a blast...I think all the kids had such a fun time! It is so hard to believe I now have a one year old & an almost 3 year old (April 22nd). Thanks to all our amazing family who came and for all the wonderful presents. I think we need a bigger house to fit them all in!

Mommy, I'd love to...
Kennedy's new favorite phrase is "Mommy I'd love to, or luv to mommy". It is so precious and we hear it all the time whether I am asking her if she wants to eat, play a game, go potty, watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, go to church, see friends, etc...

Kennedy, Ella & our new friend "Sandy"
Sandy, this is everyone...Everyone, this is Sandy.
Adam's co-worker has been so gracious and given us a lot of her daughters clothes and toys that they no longer use. This (along with the blue Cinderella Solstice Power Wheels) has been a favorite! Sandy goes on many rides everyday and even must be put to bed at night next to Kennedy (complete with her own blankie). Ella came over last week and also enjoyed Sandy for the day!
P.S. Kennedy named her after the horse at Meijer that you can ride for free...you guessed it, her name is also Sandy!
Tate Lucas...11 months!

My little man is now 11 months, only 1 more month till the big first birthday.
I feel like I was just planning Kennedy's first birthday and can't believe she will be 3 in April.
This little guy keeps me on my toes, in the past few weeks he has become an excellent crawler and is now pulling up on everything. His favorites are the two things that mommy does not want him in (the fireplace doors and the lazy susan). I know one of these days we are going to end up with some pinched little fingers!
Tate loves all table foods and eats like a horse, in fact, I think he eats more than me! I feel so thankful to have 2 children who eat most anything! It makes mealtime around here a lot easier.

LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS...
TATE IS 10 MONTHS OLD
Hard to believe my little baby is already 10 months old. This little guy is in to EVERYTHING now...I find myself ready to pull my hair out daily trying to keep the floors clear of anything small enough to stick inside his mouth. He is cruising around the house (army crawling) and always manages to end up in his sister's room playing with her. She is so good with him and tries to teach him new things or pretend he is her baby. Tate always has a big smile on his face...except of course the day we took these pictures!
Praise the Lord we are done with Baby food...here are some things he is into these days!
*mac n' cheese, chicken, cheese, pinneapple bits, goldfish crackers, bread and peas
*Says "mama & dadda"
*laughing at big sis
*watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with sis
*snuggling with mommy

Cousins
COUSINS = Friends for Life!
We are so fortunate to have so many cousins that are so close in age...we cherish each one of them and can only hope they are all going to be close as they get older!
