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 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 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 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.

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.

Jenna. Feb 16. Buffalo Head #2.
Remember Kim who made snow? Today she was a buffalo. Apparently it’s catching.
I love Carlee’s face and eyes in this one.

Jenna. Feb 12. [Red] Cuties.
My friend Le invited some gals over for a little Valentine’s get-together with the kids. We spent most of our time talking and I ended up having so much fun I was 10 minutes late to pick up Colby from school! Oops.
Here’s the Getting the Coats On pic.
Here’s Geralyn and baby Nora with cute matching headbands.
And here’s 4 of the girls sitting pretty on Grayton’s bed. I promise I didn’t pose them, but when I pulled out the camera, Kennedy put on her best Zoolander face.
Next time we all get together I’ll have to take a picture of Carlee chasing down little Oliver… and then hitting him. He took her dinky once and she hasn’t forgotten about it. All I can say is, watch out, little dude – she’s coming after you with a vengeance. (Poor Ollie!)

Jenna. Feb 5. Grandfather.
You’re getting 2 pics today. I went to see my Grandfather today and brought the girls with me. I took this pic and then Kennedy wanted to take pictures of him. So she got 5 shots of his right hand and the blurry one below. I wish it wasn’t blurry because I love his expression. This is my grandfather.

Silly Tim.
Carlee thinks he’s funny too. [We ate at Abuelo's.]

Jenna. Day 20. Kids in the hall.
My prayer group organized a kid swap in each others’ homes so we can alternate having date nights – 2 couples watch kids while 2 couples go on dates. Tonight it was our turn to watch the kids. Here they are, Cheaper By the Dozen. (There’s 12 of them, if you can see them all – ages 6 weeks to 6 years.) I took 7 pictures of this pose and this was the first one I took.
PS – We all had a great time. I will sleep well tonight.
