The Gap

Just had to share a couple pictures of Jake with his new look. 

"When I grow up, I want to live in a box"

I've always said that Santa should just bring big empty boxes rather than toys.  Isn't it funny how kids can find so much entertainment in cardboard boxes?  While we were up at the cabin this past weekend, the kids got to play with giant boxes from the new grill that their grandparents had just bought. While they were playing Jake actually said that he wants to live in a cardboard box! Anyway, so last night Justin bought me a new vacuum, and as you can see they are having so much fun again with the box and packaging.  By the way, they also fight over who gets to pop the bubble wrap.  Sound familiar sisters?  

In response to Kimberly's P-90x poem

Okay, so I guess it is my turn to write a poem and post it.  Totally embarrassing but here goes:

 

Even though my pants are a size four

I’m flabby all over especially my core

So thanks to my sisters for sending the tapes

I guess I should put down the crapes

I am so looking forward to getting tone

I know I must focus and get in the zone

But something prevents me for nine months at least

Yes, a nephew or maybe a niece!

I’m sure this must come as a bit of a shock

For me too, my whole world will soon rock!

You are probably wondering about our trip

I assure you that our plans will not flip

So soon I will see you with my tiny bump

I’ll probably be tired and in a bit of a slump

I really am pregnant, I promise it’s true 

For in the mornings my face turns blue

So the P-90x tapes I eventually will use

for postpartom pounds I know I should loose

Here is just some more evidence that I must be expecting.  Ha ha ha.  This is a joke mostly intended for my brother-in-law, who made a similar picture of me holding a huge tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream when we announced that we were pregnant with Gavin.  So I beat him to it this time...

Kailey gone wild!

Oh my goodness!  I think I need to worry about this girl.  Kailey seems to enjoy dancing a little too much I think...

She was going CRAZY at Kyle and Brittany's reception last week.  I don't know what was in the punch, but holy cow!
Yes, that is the garder belt on her head that Jake caught.  He was pretty proud of himself by the way.
Don't ask...
Maybe time to pull her out of dance lessons.  I'm really not sure where she is picking up these dance moves.  Seriously!  I'm just glad that there wasn't a pole around.  
Nice...

Our little Quail Tale

Here is a picture of my flower pot that is right by my front door.  If you look closely you will notice a nest of quail eggs.  We had been anxiously waiting for about 4 weeks...

Two days ago they hatched and left with their mommy and daddy...
All but two. (I love this picture because it shows his cute little ploom on the top of his head) 
The last two were a little confused as they thought that Kailey was their Mommy. They followed her even into the house...
Kailey was begging me to let her be their Mommy and keep them...

It was very tempting, but I knew that we needed to let them be and hope that their real parents came back for them, which they did.  Yeah!  
And this is how I spent the rest of my day...
baking cupcakes and sugar cookies for Brittany's bridal shower.  The shower turned out beautiful and all of the hard work was worth the look on Brittany's face when she saw the decorated table.

"It feels like your running at an incredible rate"

I couldn't help but think of that scene from Dumb and Dumber when Gavin starting doing this.  He was doing this over and over again for about 10 minutes.  I'm glad I grabbed my camera just in time before he got too tired.  

A little video clip of Kailey's dance rectial

I just love this girl!  She is so funny.  In case you can't tell which one she is, just look for the one most animated.
