Family Fun Time!

Just a few pictures of our sweet, happy children!

Ms. Sarah

Mr. KurtisKurtis' flower was dying but all week long he has been working to make it bloom. May be he has a green thumb like Nanny!!

We had a fun, fun time at the Culver City Car Show. Kenny we saw a TON of cars for sale! Here are some of Kurtis' FAVS....And for those of you who are as addicted to Criminal Minds as we are....(YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE). Here is a celebrity citing for you, which BAU team member is this?!

From Kurtis to GG

Here are Kurtis' videos for GG.
We love you, the week is almost over!!!

Arriving with the burp cloth!!! To the RESCUE!

From Sarah to GG

GG has had a rough week with work so here are some video's to make your week better!!! These two are from Sarah and then there are some from Kurtis.
**DISREGARD me and Kurtis talking on Sarah's video we are not used to a camera that actually picks up our sound!!!

Sarah sitting up

Sarah moving around- I can't get her backwards crawling on video I will keep trying.

April

April has flown by so fast!!!

Kurtis is getting bigger, lately he has had issues with listening and following directions. He is having problems at school and at home. Not sure if he is bored or just having a problem. Any ideas?? Tomorrow he will be missing out on his field trip because he could not improve his listening skills at schools, at home he is doing better though! He is picking up vocabulary from lots of different places and I find myself having to look words up to answer his questions sometimes (which I think says more about me then him). He is still REALLY into dinosaurs and anything transportation. Here he is with his craziness!Sarah is really growing her 6 month appointment her height is at 26 inches and her weight is 16.9 lbs. She can sit up on her own, she can turn over (in all directions) and uses that as a mode of transportation. Also, somehow she can move herself backwards when she is on all fours. She actually lifts her legs and moves backwards, but I would not call it crawling. It is too funny to watch. She has two teeth and is loving solids. She is a very determined little girl and just wants to play with the big kids!Even with craziness they are joys in our lives we are very blessed to have them in our family!!

Family Vacation!!!

First of all, I forgot our camera at home in CA, so we do not have many photos of the beginning of our trip, but I got over it, at least other people took pictures for me to use.

Derick and Kurtis had spring break so we decided to take advantage of the time to go visit family, it was nice to relax and spend time with those family members we do not get to see often. We love you guys and already miss you!!

We got to see Jackie and she had a wonderful shower!

(Kurtis was so excited to be there!)

We celebrated Katie's birthday...twice, three times...whatever, Happy Birthday Katie!

We played outside in the HUGE yard!

We got Sarah's ears pierced!

We went to the air and space museum!

We enjoyed the National History Museum. Katie and I's favorite was the Natures Best Photo Gallery, you can go here to check them out: http://www.NaturesBestPhotography.com/

Some of our favorites were the dinosaur bones, the "stuffed" mammals, and the forensic bones exhibit. We didn't get many photos because the flash was not working well indoors.

Then we relaxed on the metro...whew...we were tired!!!

We dyed Easter eggs, and celebrated Easter.

Then we hung out with Nanny, Kenny, and Gringo! Karen and Kenny got Kurtis a minature Gringo that he took everywhere so of course we had to take a photo with BOTH gringos.

We loved it, thank you all so much, love you!!

Chicken Pox

As promised here are the photos of my sweet, happy, poor, little, infected girl!!

The day before the chicken pox hit her she was her normal happy self.

Then she started getting spots.

By the end she was covered all over (this is not even when they were the worst)!!Here is Kurtis and the toy he has been saving up money for, we call him Broch.

Happy, Productive Times....

We have had a very productive, happy week.

Since Derick is taking night classes, I have been busy working on some crafts...which are all gifts so hopefully they have already been received and I am not spoiling any surprises!

Before

AfterSarah has chicken pox this week, i will post my feelings on that later. Before that hit her she was a happy little girl, here she is jumping away in her jumperoo, she loves that and has really strong legs!! If she is not in her jumperoo she will jump where ever she is or with whomever is holding her. Here is a photo of one of the bows that her Aunt Jordan made for her, they are so cute!!
