Preparing to PARTY!

Kade's first birthday party is in a little over a week! I have been out and about getting items to put on the greatest show on earth! Kade's Circus! His cake is being designed by Andrea Reed of Sweet Cakes LLC. http://www.sweetcakesllc.com/ I am super excited as two years ago she designed Kennedy's WONDERFUL candy land cake! It was fantastic! Well Kade now has four teeth, two up top and two on the bottom. I can also see more coming in in the back. But you would never know it as the little one is always smiling...unless he is hungry and BOY can he eat! Kyle and Leanna are getting ready for Christmas and doing well in school, we still have to stay on Kyle a bit to turn in assignments but when he does DO the work it is always good! Teenagers!!!! But he really is a sweet kid! Kennedy loves to sing and is still Dora's #1 fan! She is talking more and more and is starting to ask questions about everything! She even copies Leanna's tone sometimes it is so funny! Well that's all for now..I leave you with a picture of the soon to be birthday boy!!!

Halloween

We had a quiet family Halloween this year! Pumpkin carving, homemade chili, and trick or treating! The kids had fun and got way too much candy as usual! Kade has his first top tooth coming in! He is walking behind his car and will be taking off any day now! Kennedy loves to sing songs and has just mastered "If Your Happy and You Know it!" She wants to play babies and have tea parties all day long. My full time job is playing and it is STILL a lot of work! Every minute is precious though, as these babies are growing up so fast!

Spinning

It has been so long since posting. I don't even remember what it was like to have time to post! Is Kade even on this blog? WOW He will be a year old in December and since he was born it has been one long whirlwind. I can barely remember to feed them it seems! Four children is a lot. But I was just thinking how blessed I was today when listening to a lady's testimony about her fear of not ever feeling a baby kick-WOW I have had FOUR babies!!! I have experienced what it feels like FOUR times! AMAZING! They are healthy too, what a blessing!!! Kade is saying Ma Ma and Da Da, crawling and standing holding on. He is so cute when pretty girls come around, flirting and holding his head to the side while smiling shyly. I think we are in trouble!!! Kennedy is 2 and happy as long as we are giving her whatever she wants at the time! She is starting to talk in sentences and loves to color, read and play babies! Kyle is doing well in high school, but could be studying more in my opinion-he is SO smart and just fails to apply that at times! Leanna is super sweet as always-A student and loves dancing and soccer! More pictures to come I promise! Our lives are busy, and not always easy, but God is good and he is going to come through! He has given me the strength to do this even on days when I tell myself I can't! I love my family, and am so blessed to be a mom!

Dance Baby Dance!

This shot is from Easter! I was just laughing yesterday because Kennedy looked at Kade and said "Dance baby dance!" She looked at him like he should just start dancing! I love the funny things they do!

Kyle's Birthday Trip

Kyle just turned 14 on March 28th. For a special treat, we took him and a friend to Universal Islands of Adventure and spent the night in Orlando. He was so excited to go to a restaurant and not have to fuss with 2 high chairs, strollers, etc! It was nice to give him some "big guy" attention! We had a great time with him and his friend C. Happy Birthday KYLE!

Learning How to Swim!

Kennedy just started swimming lessons! She is off and kicking. As soon as we got to the pool at the YMCA she was ready to jump in! Hopefully we will have a little fish soon!
