Catching Up

I decided I better try to catch up on the blog a little bit before we have a new baby to blog about! Things have been CRAZY here- to say the least. We moved, Rich studied for and took the GMAT, we're getting ready for the baby to come any day now, and just trying to keep up with 3 fun and busy kids! I am getting to the pretty uncomfortable part of pregnancy, but I'm also not overly ready to deliver because I still have too much to get done! Also, it makes me emotional just thinking about this being my last time to have a baby. I think that labor and delivery is one of the most AMAZING and wonderful experiences, and it's sad to think I may never do it again! We are so ready to meet our little boy though.

The Princess

Kennedy is such a fun, energetic little girl. She has just the right amount of sweet and sassy to her! She is very kind and nurturing, so everyone loves her, but she can also hold her own- which will be good with 3 brothers around!

This is the face she usually gives when we try to take her picture!

Before church- I have to take pictures on Sunday because she looks pretty crazy most other days of the week. She is into dressing up right now, and changing clothes 3-4 times a day, and I don't mean in princess dresses. She will be wearing things like a bathing suit, with tights over it, the boys tennis shoes, and a cap. And she throws a FIT when I tell her that's not suitable attire for public! She also won't wear a bow for longer than 2 minutes anymore!

Again- before church. Hannah gets her some pretty adorable dresses! I think she looks like such a baby until I see her in pictures and realize she's a little girl now!

Getting ready to go to gymnastics, or "nasties" as she calls it. She LOVES gymnastics and asks to go every day of the week. She looks so tiny out there though! We love this little girl so much!

Toothless

The tooth fairy has been very busy at our house lately! Nate has now lost 7 teeth, and is missing 3 in a row on top. He looks pretty funny! It's hilarious to watch him eat everything with the sides of his mouth!

I took the kids to the dentist a few weeks ago and she asked if I knew Tanner had a loose tooth. I had no idea (even though Tanner did) which is so typical of him. Tanner is such a quiet kid and likes to keep things to himself! A few days later, Nate brings Tanners tooth down, and Tanner was acting like it was no big deal! He said, "ya- I just bent it back really far until it came out!" By the looks of the root that was still attached, I'm not sure it was quite ready to be pulled!

I am NOT ready for this boy to start looking older!

Sledding

After our crazy ice storm we finally got some fun snow to play in! We took the kids sledding for the afternoon, and they LOVED it! I would hang out at the top to take pictures and give pushes, while Rich would catch them at the bottom. I have to say, since the boys got to go skiing in January and we had this big snow storm, we got our winter activities in and I was done with snow!

Tanner was always willing to give Kennedy a ride- these two have become quite a pair lately.

Of course Rich always has to get in on the action! He was actually going really fast in this picture!

Rich and Kennedy crashing at the bottom, with Nate and Tanner soon to follow.
