Bday pics







We took Ben to Kiddie Kandids this past weekend for his birthday pictures. He was not comfortable with the photographer, so we didnt get his big smile. Drats. But I think they turned out alright considering.




Kylie has a 2 week spring break and I am ready to send her back after the first week. Not that she is a problem- I really love having her around. She is so helpful and fun. The problem is with her and Tyler in close proximity to each other all day long every day. They are either best friends or worst enemies. So the fighting is really bugging me. They argue over the silliest stuff and then they come and tattle on each other. Last week they were trying to one up each other over the things they can do. For example- Kylie is obviously a better reader-(obviously since she is in 1st grade, and Ty is still in preschool-) but she like to point it out to Ty in the na-na-a-boo-boo fashion. Tyler likes to retort back with "oh yeah- well I am a kung fu jedi master in training so I know more than you." And then Kylie will say something like- " well you should take listening lessons cuz you dont know how to listen!" And this continues on and on even after they have a zillion time outs and even more talking to's. So yeah- I am ready for spring break to be done with.

I think the pictures are really sweet!

You think that arguing happens because they are close in age? How do I explain Emilee and Riley then?

He's just gorgeous, and I love that he didn't give anyone the satisfaction of smiling. He's just giving us a teaser. Perfect.

Oops, I read that wrong...you didn't say anything about close ages, just close proximity to each other. That IS how to explain my girls...

First, the pictures are adorable!

Second, I was laughing out loud about Kylie and Ty! Over and over again. My kids do that too - only I don't laugh when they do it. LOL. It drives me CRAZY!!!!

The stories you tell about your kids just makes me laugh! They are so cute and I really feel like I am there when it takes place.
