Easter Fun!

We spent Easter at Kerry's parents house....Lots of family.....The boys had a blast and the baby girls just hung out looking cute in their little dresses....

She sure is smiling a lot more now and I just love it....She is smiling at her silly daddy in this picture....We were really just trying to get Kohen to look at the stinking camera!...

Laying on the floor---but I never could get a cute shot of the both of them....

Kohen is trying to pick Kresee up in this picture...We kept trying to explain that she is too heavy for him to pick up....

Kenzie and Kresee....They are just 4 months apart.....

Cousins..

Kresee was very hungry at this point and she was just finally flat out mad that nobody was going was feeding her and she was still having to take pictures:)The boys got baskets full of candy and toys and clothes....

Kohen thought you had to tear off the paper and then dump the confetti out....D

Running towards more eggs....We had so many that their sand buckets were so full we had to get grocery sacks!!....

Kohen dumping confetti on Papa's head...

Both girls hanging out after a nap....

Easter Eggs

We went to our neighbor's house last night with their family to decorate some Easter Eggs...I thought about doing this with Kohen but really it was too much trouble for one kid...So I was so excited when Deatra invited Kohen over....They had a great time playing before they got started...Garrison is 3 years older and Mitchell is Kohen's age....Kohen loves swinging and I know he had a blast.....

This is my favorite...How cute is Garrison in the middle!!

Kohen did great and even got to take a dozen eggs home with him...I really just wanted the one with his name on it, but Deatra said they were going to do some more this weekend...So I know Kohen will be excited to hunt the Easter Eggs he made with Jaxson on Sunday....

Kresee was a party pooper....I fed her and and she zonked out...

5 Weeks

Kresee is now 5 weeks old and doing great...She is smiling a lot more when you talk to her...Loves to watch your face and is so interested in looking at you....She is still a hungry girl most days...I have to nurse her like every 1 1/2 to 2 hours if she is awake...But she still does great at night...Lately she has been waking up around 2 or 2:30 and then makes it the rest of the night before having to be fed again....I have 2 more weeks off from work and I'm dreading having to go back those last 5 weeks of school....I sure hope it goes quickly...I'm soooo enjoying my time with this precious baby, but at least I will have the summer off with the kiddos....


I tried to get some sweet pictures of her....And for the first time I actually put one of those big bow headband things on her head...I think other babies look cute and then I'm not quite sure about it when I put it on my own baby!!...I guess they are just so big!!...And the last picture is her on her tummy time mat which we don't really do tummy time...She likes to lay on her back and stare at the ceiling fan...Her tummy time is usually laying on my tummy and we talk to each other :)




So our good friends, Angela and John, had their baby girl on Wednesday...Jaylee is a sweetheart and looks like her big sister....I can't wait to go over there and hold her since I didn't get to...Had Kresee with me and she wanted to be held...But Kresee wanted to go and meet her new friend!!

Belly Button:)

Kresee does like her vibrating chair...Kohen hated it!!...So I'm glad that she will hang out in that for 20-30 minutes at a time and let me get some things done....

Kohen likes to look at her and talk to her if she is laying somewhere....He wanted me to take his picture with her the other day and then look at it....And then he wanted to do a silly face for me..

Oh, and her umbilical cord fell off Monday!!!....It only took 4 weeks and 4 days.....Kohen, again, was 8 weeks and 1 day so I was ecstatic that I did not have another month of cleaning that thing...Kohen was really happy about it...He's been wanting that "black thing" to fall off for awhile now...Yes, I took a picture right after it happened because I was that excited!!

You Have to Say.....

So Kohen has been in this stage for quite awhile now....Telling me while we are playing (or not playing) what I have to say.....This was our conversation the other night....

Kohen: (while running around in circles in our bedroom) "Mommy, you have to say Kohen why are you running in circles?"

Me: "Kohen why are you running around in circles?"

Kohen: "Cause I want to!"

Kohen: "Mommy, you have to say Kohen why are you running fast?"

Me: "Kohen why are you running fast?"

Kohen: "Cause I am!"

Kohen: (he has now crashed and burned on the floor purposely) "Mommy you have to say Kohen you fell down and hurt yourself"

Me: "Kohen you fell down and hurt yourself"

Kohen: "I KNOW!"

And it goes on and on and on and on....No matter what we are doing, I no longer have a choice of what I'm going to say because he clearly lets me know and believe me it has to be word for word or you are going to get corrected.....

4 Weeks!

Kresee was 4 weeks old yesterday. She is really changing and not looking so much like Kohen anymore (thank goodness!). Not that Kohen isn't adorable, but he is a boy and Kresee is a girl (haha) She is so much more alert and aware of everything. She did not want her picture taken yesterday and so I just snapped two of them knowing she was mad and then left her alone:)

She loves looking you in the eyes and staring for long periods of time. These are her top 3 favorite things to stare at besides my face.

We have 3 black and white pictures above our bed. Kohen loved looking at these as well. She will lay there for 30 minutes staring at these. I have to cover her face sometimes while I'm nursing because she is way more interested in the pictures.

This is the rocking chair in our bedroom where I mainly sit and feed her. She could stare at mini-blinds for long periods of time too. I like to sit her on the kitchen table and do some work there while she stares at those windows as well.

This is the view she has when she is laying in the study floor while I'm on the computer. She really likes this fan and so it keeps her entertained while I'm typing.

Clone Trooper

So Kohen is still really into Star Wars....Really anything that has swords or guns and you can shoot and swing things at people and it's OK....So he got his Star Wars mask for Christmas but just found the outfit that went along with it...Of course it might actually fit him when he is about 8 years old...It's huge on him...The legs were soooo long that I rolled them up as best I could and then clipped them, but they kept falling down...So here he is in his huge Star Wars outfit....I call it "My harmonica playing Clone trooper"!!

These were from last night....I fed Kresee about 9:00 and laid her down and she was out...She sleeps in this little mini-crib right next to my bed so that I can keep an eye on her all night long...Kohen slept in this thing for months and we love it....Isn't she so peaceful??

Here she is from this morning....She will hang out on her changing pad in the floor of the study (sometimes) while I check my emails or look at blogs...But right now she is on her boppy pillow in my lap and I'm bouncing her while I type...She just wants to be asleep and has to be held....
