Jenna. Mar 9. Big girl seat.
Carlee’s first night in a booster seat at the big table! (instead of in a high chair) Don’t worry, she did eat, despite what it looks like in the picture.

Jenna. Mar 8. Trampolining.
Carlee now gets very upset if we go outside and she is not allowed to jump on the trampoline. (She says, “poh-leen” and points.) And Kennedy and Colby love to bounce her. That makes it pretty hard to get a picture of all the fun they have when she is crawling around up there.

Tagged.
My friend Suzy tagged me. I get tagged a lot but usually the tagging involves very hard-core, thought-provoking and soul-bearing information all held in one blog post, so I usually don’t play along. But Suzy’s tag is to tell 5 things about myself. Sorry if you’ve tagged me in the past but I clearly felt very inadequate. I’m working on that. Maybe that should be #1?
1. I love chocolate chip cookies with no nuts. And anything tasty that resembles them, i.e. the Cookie Monster dessert at Cheddar’s or chocolate chip brownies.
2. I love working out. I’d do it every day if I could still spend time with my kids. And when the weather is nicer I will take the girls in my jogging stroller while I run. [And if I ate fewer chocolate chip cookies, I might not have to work out as much as I do.]
3. I love my house. One moth Suzy did a really cool series on her blog – 31 things she loves about her house. Don’t be offended if you see something like this on my blog soon. I’m just sayin.
4. I love my kids. I think you’ve seen evidence of this on my blog, but just wanted to reiterate it. They have made me evaluate how short and fleeting this life really is. And I promise you they are the best kids only because God made them that way.
5. I love my husband. These obviously aren’t in order of importance or he would be first, even above chocolate chip cookies. *gasp!* The day I married Kevin was the greatest day of my life, and I get to re-live that day every day as his wife. God did a great thing bringing us together – it could only have been His doing, and I know that no matter how hard things get, there is nothing that will tear us apart.
I think now I’m supposed to tag 5 people. Really I should be tagging whoever wants to play, but for sake of following the rules and overcoming my inadequacies, I tag Amanda, Leslie, Sara, Brandy, & Rachel. And no tag-backs!

Jenna. Mar 6. Box Fun.
My mom gave my dad a recliner for his birthday. So my kids and my 20 year-old sister played with the box. And a flashlight.

Jenna. Mar 5. Dr. Seuss in training.
In honor of Read Across America week, I thought I’d give you a picture of our newest bookworm.

Jenna. Mar 4. Zacchaeus.
Today in Bible study we used Zacchaeus and Jesus puppets to tell the story. This is Kennedy giving Zacchaeus a piggyback ride during music class. He Is short, after all.

Jenna. Mar 3. Backseat Messie.
I gave the kids a chocolate chip granola bar on our way home. This is what I found when we got there. I think she enjoyed it.

Jenna. Mar 2. New Rug.
The rug I ordered for the living room 6 weeks ago was backordered and just arrived today. [I'll take pics of the rug in the room soon.] The kids decided that while I was trying to get it opened, they should all make it a horse. Giddyup, rug.

Jenna. Mar 1. “Aaah! She’s gonna cook me!”
Colby said this when running by me today. My kids love chasing each other all around the house and today’s game was chasing with a spatula. I’m guessing to cook each other they would tickle each other with the spatula? I didn’t ever see the “cooking” going on. But not to worry, these cooking utensils really are for toy usage – I have my own for the kitchen for actual food consumption.
[If you look carefully you'll see Carlee crawling to be part of the game too. I had to stop the kids for this very posed picture with said spatula.]

Jenna. Feb 26. I Love Mommy Day.
Colby’s school had I love Mommy day today. I brought him Chick-fil-A and he made me a cute necklace and we ate cupcakes and he sang me a song and he gave me these purple flowers and I loved I love Mommy day. What a great kid.

Jenna. Feb 25. Colby’s turn.
Sometimes Colby gets to play games on my iPhone. Sometimes he’ll take pictures. Here is one from today.

Jenna. Feb 20. Soccer Game.
Colby played in his first career soccer game. Here’s the warm-up.
Part of the yelling section [er, "cheering"]
And, the paparazzi.

Kevin. Day 51. Gooooooaaaaaaal!!!!
Ok I took a bit of a hiatus… but instead of giving up, I’m going to jump back in. I’ve got some backlogged pictures, but I’ll catch up on those later.
This is my “Soccer Man”. This is Colby’s first year to play soccer, and today was his first game. This is him on the way to making his first goal. It was great, so exciting, I’m proud of my little dude. Not that I was keeping score or anything, but I think his team won something like 8 to 1. Whoop!

Jenna. Feb 19. Hoovers.
The Hoovers came over for dinner tonight. Chris & Christine, Landon & Colton [Madison was at a tennis tournament.] A great way to end a very busy week.
