Happy Easter!

We had a great but busy Easter weekend spending time with friends, hunting eggs, and eating way too much yummy food! Kinsey was more interested in opening the few eggs she found to see what goodies were inside than seeing how many eggs she could find...oh well maybe she'll get the hang of it next year!

My beautiful girls! Sweet Kinsey Mae

My little Khloe Lyn

The Easter bunny was nice enough to stop by the egg hunt at church yesterday so we just had to get our picture with him! I wasn't sure how Kinsey would do but she climbed right up in his lap and then didn't want to get down to give the other kids a turn!

Hunting eggs...

Found another one...

Kinsey was so excited when she saw that the Easter bunny had left lots of goodies in her basket!

(Don't you love her bed head!)

Busy Week

Last week stayed on the go but had a great week catching up with some old friends and family!

Wednesday-The girls and I drove a little over 2 hours to see some friends from high school whose grandparents live close to Gram and Pop's. Summer and Luke had driven up to visit their Meme and Papa and invited us to come over to see them. It was great to get to catch up a little with them and their Meme and Papa. I have lots of very fond memories of growing up with the Norman kids and love to see them every chance I get! It took Kinsey a little while to warm up to everyone, especially Maddox, Summer's dog but after lunch she came out of her shell and started acting like her goofy self! We had a great visit and can't wait to do it again soon!
Wednesday afternoon we just drove back to Gram and Pop's house and stayed with them since Ryan was out of town for a few nights.

Thursday-We celebrated Margaret and Mac's birthday's for lunch. Margaret turned 86 on Saturday and Mac turned 89 yesterday! Patsy put together a wonderful lunch and then we enjoyed some yummy cake, which was Kinsey's favorite, of course!

Happy Birthday Marget!
Happy Birthday Mac!
Thursday afternoon we got to feed the ducks at a pond close to Gram and Pop's house! Kinsey loves to go see the ducks and they love that someone has come to feed them!

Khloe enjoyed our little stroll to the duck pond and enjoyed watching the ducks too!

Steve and Patsy are always such gracious hosts and we love spending time at their house!

Kinsey paining with Gram....she always has lots of fun things for Kinsey to do!

Saturday-Callie came up so Ryan and I could go out on a date night...something we don't do nearly often enough! I had gotten Ryan Sugarland tickets for his birthday so we ate dinner in downtown Nashville before heading to the concert! Little Big Town opened for Sugarland and both groups put on a great show! I had a fabulous time on our date and always love spending time with my sweet husband! A big thanks to our wonderful babysitter, Callie! We hate to leave the girls but it's always a little easier knowing they are in good hands!

Thankfully this week has been a little slower. Now we're just waiting for the Easter bunny to come visit this weekend!

We love Pete and Nana!

As most of you know who read our blog, we live about 8 hours away from Pete and Nana which means we don't get to see them nearly enough but it does make the time we do get together all that more precious! Mom has been recovering from her surgery last month and had a few weeks before she started back to school so we talked her into coming to visit us : ) She flew up and stayed with us a week and then Dad came up last week to spend a few days before they had to head home. We had the best time catching up, hanging out, and playing with the girls. We got in a little shopping and mom even sewed a few things for me! I really enjoyed having some adult conversation during the day and an extra set of hands to help out with the girls. Thanks mom you're the best!

Nana was "getting" Kinsey...as you can tell Kinsey was eating it up : )

Nana & Khloe talking

Dad drove up last Monday and got in after Kinsey had already gone to bed. The next morning she came and crawled in bed with me and I asked her who was sleeping in her bed to which she replied, "Pete is! Pete's home! Pete's home!" It was so cute! We took Pete and Nana to Monkey Joe's one day and Kinsey was so excited to take Pete with her! Pete was a good sport and enjoyed the inflatables too! I think Kinsey wore him out! : )

Khloe was excited to be at MJ's too... and she even enjoyed bouncing for a few minutes!

Kinsey got to show Pete and Nana her new play set!

Getting ready to blow bubbles with Pete

Thanks for coming to visit us! We love you and miss you both and can't wait to see you again soon!

The "Blowout Queen" Strikes Again

Little Miss Khloe may look all sweet and innocent but...

as you can see she is very proud whenever she blows out a diaper and outfit!

And for the close-up in case you missed it!

In case you were wondering our little angel does this at least once a day! What fun!! We did start on cereal this week and she loves it so I'm hoping that it will thicken things up a bit! I guess we'll see...

4 Months and growing...

My baby is growing up way too fast!!! I know I say this every month but I can hardly believe that Khloe is already 4 months old! She is showing us more of her wonderful little personality and doing new things every day! She really is such a happy, easy going baby who is always full of smiles! Khloe's 4 month stats: Height- 25.5 inches (86%), Weight- 14lbs 10oz (66%), HC- 41.25 cm Things Khloe is doing at 4 months: -Khloe nurses every 4-5 hours during the day and will usually go at least 5-7 hours at night. The Dr. said today we can start her on cereal today so we'll try that and see how it goes! -She will NOT take a bottle. She did for a while but it is so much easier to just nurse her that we've gotten out of the habit and well now she doesn't want anything to do with it. Her Dr. said to see if she'd take a sippy cup with out the valve but if you have any suggestions feel free to leave a comment!

-Within the last month Khloe has earned the title of the "Blowout Queen." For the last 3-4 weeks at least once a day Khloe has completely blown out her diaper and outfit! I told Ryan I hope we have a boy next because if we have a girl she won't have any clothes to wear because Khloe has ruined them all! Well maybe not ruined but definitely left her "mark!" And of course it is never at an opportune time. For example, I go to get her out of her carseat at church for Bible class Sunday morning and her back is covered in poop!... yellow, mustard-y poop all over her cute little dress! And then when we are walking out the door to the Dr. for her checkup this morning I heard her go and almost decided not to check it because she'd already had 2 poopy diapers within the past hour so I thought there's no way there could be enough in her little tummy to blow out a diaper! Boy was I wrong!! I reached my hand in her carseat to feel behind her back to make sure we were okay and once again it is covered in poop! Her outfit, the carseat, my hand, EVERYTHING! Thankfully mom was here because other wise we would have never made it to our appointment on time! When I told Dad how bad her blowouts were he replied,"At least we know her little system works!" I guess that's one way to look at it!

-Khloe started rolling over last week and will easily go from her belly to back but is still working on going from her back to belly!

Chillin' in Kinsey's chair

-She is such a little book worm! : ) We put a book up for her to look at and her little face lit up and she was so intrigued by the pictures...it was so cute! -Khloe LOVES her big sister! As soon as Khloe sees Kinsey coming she flashes a huge smile!

-Khloe loves bath time! Usually the girls take a bath together which they both love! Kinsey acts crazy and Khloe just laughs at her!!

-Khloe has been sleeping with one are swaddled in her boppy pillow but last night slept with out being swaddled and with out her boppy pillow just fine so it seems like she may be outgrowing all that!

-She is very happy in the morning when she wakes up & loves to give us big, goofy smiles!

-And sometimes she finds the most uncomfortable positions to sleep in...like this one! I debated on whether or not to reposition her but she was sleeping so hard I decided to just leave her alone!

-99% of the time Khloe is the most easy going baby but she has her moments when she's not happy and well she's not afraid to let us know!

Gram and Khloe

Khloe cheesin' BIG with Nana!

Gram turns 60!

Gram's 60th birthday is tomorrow April 4th so this weekend we got to celebrate with her along with lots of other friends and family! There was a great turn out and everyone had a wonderful time! Hope you have a fabulous birthday Gram! We love you and look forward to celebrating many more birthday's with you!
