Wanna see some pics?

This is old.... Like from May old. We got bored one afternoon and came up with this fun game. Course I got the butt chewing when T-rav got home cause apparently blue painters tape is a little too pricey to be blowing on my "shenanigans". My bad :-/. I guess regular ol masking tape is my new standard



Look at this! Does this look like "shenanigans"? Fun-hatin-dream-crusher! Its Not too bad if I do say so myself.



1st day of science camp back in June. This also happened to be exactly one week before Miss K joined us.



Soccer medal day. The game face is hilarious. Yes at the YMCA "everybody gets a trophy". T-rav wasn't impressed with this.. Lol!



C after his hair cut... He looks so much bigger with short hair



Eh, whatever.



Boys being destructive.... It's a dual effort most days.



At the Library, C thought he was big time with these. Love that look



The real McCoy... What our house looked like most days those 1st couple of months after K was born. I only remember crying over it once.... That was a long summer!



This deliciousness that is being so beautifully displayed for you is from one of the food trailers on So Congress. OMGoodness, that was the BEST cream cheese i'd ever eaten in my life! This trailer served doughnuts in ways I would've never dreamed! We did a food crawl for a friends bday back in August, and I finally discovered all the great food creations ATX has to offer :-)




On one of the trash cans by the food trailers...



The Popsicle man



Came out into the living room and K had been moved. J drug her over next to him to watch Wild Kratts. "I'm spending some time with her mom so she won't be fussy" he tells me. Hmmm apparently it is a boy thing to think that watching tv together is "spending time" ummm, no. Note to self.... Teach J about "eye contact", future DIL will thank me :-)



And then I come back out to this. He's so super gentle with her. "she wanted me to hold her now" ahhh. I'm so grateful that God softened J's heart towards her because although he said he loved her, there were a few times in July he told me "mom I love K but I don't like her because she slows us down". A friend reminded me that "J knows the long term effects of a baby, so it might take awhile for him to warm up to her" thank goodness it was only 2 months and not when he's in high school



Blows my mind there's a 3rd baby in this house. Who am I to deserve all 3 of them?



The lake in our backyard before the grading and landscaping went in



J's playing fall ball and honestly as much as I hate having to be at a practice once a week for a 4 yr old I have to admit that I like going to watch him play. He loves it and the coach is great with teaching them skills. J is the in the orange shirt,,,, he just wipped a ball out there for his coach.



We recently took the whole fam up to the cowboy state to see our family. When we were standing in line going thru security I asked T-rav "why does everyone keep staring at us?" "because we're a freak show Crissy, NOBODY is this crazy!" whateves! They all 3 are fantastic flyers and were perfect... Even going thru security. I'm going to brag a little cause I don't usually get these kind of comments (what can I say, my kids act like me) but people were telling us "ALL your kids are great travelers"
K on her 1st airplane ride and the flight attendants were in awe with her and carried her around for part of flight.



Our flight was early that morning and C never ended up getting a nap, although he did try laying down in the wagon but couldn't quite fit



All T-rav's fam from all over the cowboy state came to see us. T-rav's sister and BIL out side playing with all the kids. It was fun to watch the boys play with their girl cousins



The girls playing with their baby girl cousin



My big brother wrestling with the boys. He was trying so hard to be gentle with them, but then he figured out what savages they are and started getting rowdy with them, kill or be killed he discovered. They loved every second



Back home, j reading his book to K. He really is so helpful



Don't ask...it was a rough morning at church today. I stuck K's bow in his hair just finish the look. :-) precious. Let's just say that this little incident prompted us to start potty training the moment we got home. I had planned on starting right after we got home from WY anyway. :-)



He's a monkey...


C is definetly our wild child!

My thumb sucker

I spent the 1st 10 weeks of K's life sticking my pinkie in her mouth. The girl HATES paci's but from day one has had a strong sucking reflex. Well praise God, girlfriend found her thumb! Now being a former thumb sucker myself, that had to have prongs put in by the orthodontist to stop my thumb-sucking habit, I was AGAINST this. But nothing else was working and mama was exhausted so after we moved we went from this.....


To this...


And now she sleeps 12 hours straight through the night at 11 weeks. I say Praise God for her right thumb!!! 😄

First day of school

It was their 1st day of school, this time at a new preschool in Drippin'. So far they love it. J goes 3 days :-( and C goes 2 days. I miss them but who am I kidding, it's nice to have a few hours to do some things around the house and be able to think clearly too. Baby K is a good napper when she gets to opportunity but so far I've just used my down town to catch up on scheduling sub-contractors to come back to finish their "punch" work. We moved 2 weeks ago and while it's nice to have a place we plan on hanging for a bit I'm still too gun shy to unpack too much right now... 5 houses in 3 years, it tends to make a girl iffy.

School Pictures

These are some of the school pictures a photographer came and took of the boys at the end of April. So adorable!!!


This is the smile I'm always trying to capture but he won't hold still for me. This is C to a tee


He so funny. He takes things so seriously sometimes. 


The J I love!! Do you like the arm tatoo too? LOL! It's a dinosaur egg. Daddy tatted him up the day before not knowing they had school pics coming up. At least he looks like a Kinley with some tatoos on him....since mommy and daddy are tatted up! lol!

Pics

These pics start with the 1st week of April and give highlights up until now. So far behind!

J heading out the door to go hunt some eggs at his school 
the big kids getting ready to get some eggs. I had to pick between the boys because C's class was too little to go with the big kids. Since I've watched J hunt eggs a few times I snapped this pic then went and took pics of C's 1st hunt

He wasted no time

He was trying to see what was in the egg


J really helps me out this little vac. He says it's "his". Whatever dude,, I just love what you're doing

Some more from Sea World



The boys and their bikes. Best thing we ever bought them

Right after his bday he started to pick up speed when riding his bike. He now goes flying down the driveway. He's pretty agile though, because we've yet to have a wipe out. He does have a blue one now, so we put this one up for K later

after bath on Father's Day....they would become big bros 24 hours later

checking out sissy on the bed

They love her

C wants to hold her non-stop

5 dyas old & the 1st time daddy really got a chance to hold her, so they took a nap together

the reason i cut C's hair... it was getting out of control. His curls were so cute tho :-/

spying for the road runner out back


still being boys :-)
