She Walks, She Stands

Well, now she can stand all by herself, too! She started doing this new trick yesterday. Was in the middle of the room when she decided she needed to stand up and walk over to me. It was so cute to see her- she was so proud!

Another One Bites The Dust

Will lost his second tooth today! It fell out at school and he was so excited when he got off the bus! Hope the tooth fairy is good to him tonight!

Kate Is Walking

Thought we would share some video of Kate walking. She has been getting more and more steady over the last few days. She loves to walk! Only wants to hold one finger if any at all. Spent the evening walking into the kitchen, around the table and back into the livingroom. She thinks she is so big now! At church today, the nursery workers said she may have to move up to the older room because she is walking over the little ones that are just crawling. She is SO advanced!!

Boys Weekend

The boys got back from their boys weekend to the UT football game. They packed up and left yesterday morning, Met up with Gran in Knoxville and had a great time at the game! The picture is of the boys in front of a huge blow up Smokey someone had set up at their tailgating spot. What a fun weekend for the boys! Gran was able to get great tickets from a friend and they sat 7 rows up from the field near the endzone! Great seats and great new UT gear! Will and Ben said they had a great time, loved the game, sleeping in a hotel and eating breakfast at the free breakfast in the hotel. Boy, when the figure out that restaurants sell breakfast, we are going to be in trouble. Tonight, when I was putting Will to bed, he said 'Mommy, do you know what my favorite thing about the whole weekend was? It was seeing smokey run the football players out on the field before the game and at the halftime. He wanted to run all over the place! He had a leash so he couldn't. I really liked that dog!!'

Kate's New Kicks

With the boys all gone to the UT game, it was up to me to take Kate shopping. We were on a mission to find her first pair of shoes. She is walking pretty good now and wants to walk everywhere. Found the cutest little t-straps in Stride Rite. Wanted to find some pink ones, but those were a little too crazy. She really likes them. Keeps tapping her feet! What fun buying little girl shoes!! Can't wait to get her some red ones!!!

Why We Can't Go To The Artic

Conversation from this morning on our way to soccer:



Will: Mommy, can we go to the Artic?

Me: I don't think so, it's pretty cold (and REALLY far away!).

Ben: (As I am answering, and VERY matter of factly) We can't, we don't have fur coats.

Will: (As if this is the only thing stopping us..)They have them at the mall; don't they, Mommy?



So, as that is true... I guess we should start planning a trip!!

Kate's Love Song

During lunch today Ben sang Kate the sweetest song! I had gotten up and gone back to our room and I heard him start out singing! I stayed in the hall so he wouldn't stop and I wrote down all I could remember. It went something like this:

Kate is so sweet, we love her so much.
Everyone loves her.
She likes bananas.
She cries sometimes.
When you take something from
her you have to give it back.
She is pretty and I love her!

He sang for about 3 or 4 minutes, so this is just what I could get! I wish I had the video camera going because it was so darn cute! And how great would it be to show it to him when he was older!!!
