What Keith Has Been Up To

Keith has been absolutely adorable when it comes to watching over his sister.


Seriously, I hope that every little girl can have a big brother like him.  She was tired and not feeling well, so he asked if he could try to hold her and calm her down.  My goodness, it was the cutest thing EVER!  And it worked.  She sat with him for such a long time.


He has recently become interested in Chess.  He can sit for hours playing Chess and with Lego men.


That boy cracks me up.  But it makes me happy.  He takes after his father, the president and founder of the High School Chess Club.


Some days, Keith just has to dress himself.  He is the most stylin little guy I have ever met.


Did you notice his cowboy boots?  Awesome.

And this photo just makes me happy.  It is cozy, and happy and childhood all wrapped up into a photo.

Bug does that sort of thing for Boo all the time, and it never fails to melt my heart.
Proud mama moment, right there!
And I guess as long as you don't let him go to church dressed like that...what's the harm?
He looks awesome!
And I still don't know how to play chess. The boy is a genius!!!:)

Wow Chess at such a young age - very cool! His little brain is really working. I think you can tell alot about kids personalities from their interests as children.
The picture with his sister is precious as is the one with their dad - true happiness in a picture for sure!

Happy Easter!!

That little boy is definitely one in a million...you know that chess obsession could pay off in a few years. Don't they have tournaments for money?...I'm just sayin'....not that I think exploiting your child is right, it's just...oh, never mind...the kid is super cute, let's leave it at that :O)

I think our two big brothers could get along swimmingly. Mine also likes to cuddle the sisters and play chess. Or at least his version of chess. He also rocks a pair of cowboy boots with shorts. They must be soulmates! ;)

Oh what a great big brother! I do hope he stays that way. And that last picture is so wonderful- so good and what life is all about.

And his outfit-the best ever :)

What an awesome brother! My big boy does that too. But chess? Totally not his style. He has to be playing video games or riding 4-wheelers. :)

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
