Happy Birthday Baby Girl ...

I can't believe Kennedy turns 4 today ... my gosh, where has the time gone ...

Four years ...

SO BIG ...

Cohen just started waving the past few days ... he's SO cute.

My gosh - the baby won't even be 9 months old until November 7th and look how big he is!! This outfit is 6-9 months. He fits very well in his 12-18 month hand-me-downs. SAD!

Congratulations Kristan!!!

SHE MADE IT!!! Kristan graduated with her Bachelors in Business Information Systems today. CONGRATULATIONS KRISTAN!

Kennedy was so excited to give her auntie Kris a rose!

And Congratulations mom and dad - your THREE kids are out of college. Now THAT'S an accomplishment!!!

Kennedy had a BLAST with her big friend Tiffany - can you see the "Oh my gosh, I'm so happy" grin on her face?! :)

Kristan and Keith...

Kristan and Cody ...

Sisters ...

Who said a 9-month-old shouldn't enjoy a little s'more?? :)

Risky business...

Friday night, Austin and I went to a Halloween skating party. It STARTED at 10:30 - as we were getting ready at 9:30 at night, we thought WHAT are we doing? We are way too old and have way too many kids for this :)

But, once we got our costumes on, we seemed to be more in the mood!

Once we got there and saw everyone else and got on skates - we had a great time!

This guys costume CRACKED ME UP. I can't believe he had the courage to do it - but it was HILARIOUS!

Winter is coming ...

The leaves are falling ...

And these little guys are appearing out back more and more!

I wonder if I'll have to give a speech ... ?

When I accept my Mother-Of-The-Year award.

I laid Cohen down on Kennedy's bed for FIVE seconds today (BETWEEN the two guard rails) ... and, you guessed it, THUMP - he fell right onto the floor!!! Somehow he got himself all turned around and wiggled down to the end of the bed and then right off! Man did I feel like crap. Although I'm a firm believer that every kid falls off of the bed at one point - Cameron's was while we was still sleeping in bed with us.

So then, I was fixing dinner and Cohen needed a bottle. Kennedy asked if she could feed him - I thought it was a great idea! UNTIL he wiggled off of her lap and ended up between the coffee table and the couch!

At least there was no blood ...

Can't keep her down ...

Even though her eye looks like this ...

She still comes home from her birthday party, opens a Hannah Montana guitar, SQUEALS and gets right up on the fireplace to dance and sing. NO FEAR! (Notice the nice blue fleece padding that now lays atop the fireplace though!)
