Happy Birthday Dada!

There is something about kid's art that I just love (always have). Try as you might, an adult just can't create art that look's like a child did it (fine motor, hand eye, proprioception, tactile sense, etc., just too developed as an adult). So, I had James and Keira do some scribblings for Ben as a birthday gift. Of course, the stamps were done hand over hand (mine over James). Ben loved it!

Tag, you're it!

James and Keira love chasing each other around the coffee table. It is a favorite game of theirs. Check it out.

Did I ever say that Keira is trouble?

"Daddy, if you won't get off the phone and get me my toy, then I will just get it myself". Never underestimate this kid!

Miss Commando

Yes, Keira is crawling- army girl style. She goes everywhere and is getting faster and more skilled everyday. Watch the video- enjoy!

Keira does the Chicken Dance!

Watch the video and enjoy!

Fight!

Ok, so it was Thanksgiving and we were at my parents house. Brea (my sister) has been forbidden to drink soda (she drinks way too much and has little self control). After discovering that Brea drank my half empty can of soda that I hid from her, I decided to teach her a lesson. NEVER drink from an open can of anything- you never know what is in it... So I planted an open can of soda mixed with cooking oil on the kitchen counter. We all had Thanksgiving dinner and after dinner Brea took the open can of soda/oil and drank it! The video you are about to watch is footage taken after Brea and I had already duked it out for like 5-10min. It is sort of the aftermath of our fight that Ben recorded. I was rather tired at this point. I think James enjoyed it!

Keira's new tricks

Keira learned a couple of new tricks yesterday. Watch the videos to enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi, just a quick shout out to all of the friends and family. Have a great Thanksgiving and safe travels to all. We just had our Thanksgiving (Ben and I and the kids). We had a big fat turkey, dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoe casserole, mashed pototoes with smoked gouda, green bean casserole & rolls. Yummy!

Airplane!

Keira is playing airplane. Wee!

Big and Beautiful

So I bought some new dresses for Keira since she has outgrown all of her summer clothes and cold weather is here. My mom, who is a pretty good photographer, snapped this pic of Keira rolling around while I was trying to dress her in the various outfits to see what fits and what needs to be exchanged... There is something about this chubby baby that I just love :)
