A Quick Update

i realize it has been a month since i have posted anything but i just feel like time is never there for blogging. no excuses, just that i have been busy like everyone else, my computer was down for two weeks, and i have not taken many pictures lately. but for anyone who wants to know here is a little update about the past month. 

kelton is now 10 months old, and WALKING. i love it and he is so cute. he is just so small but he loves to walk. he is 17 lbs 15 oz and in the 7%ile for weight. he is 28 1/2 in long and in the 44%ile for length. he eats well drinks a lot, sleeps great, plays with everything and is very snuggly. he has 6 teeth and uses them to bite everything, including me.
he loves to take baths. he actually cries when i take him out. 

mikenna is almost 6 and will start school in a few weeks. i cant believe she will be in school but we are ready and have shopped a lot for her to prepare. she is my big helper at home but did give me my first experience to the er. we were at my sister laura's house. the girls were back in the room playing and we were on the couch when kaden brought mikenna out and said she was bleeding. we found a gash on the back of her head gushing out blood. after about 5 minutes we decided i better take her to the hospital to get it checked out. it ended up not being a very long cut but it was deep and she got three staples. mikenna did not cry at all in the er, she actually was giggling when they were numbing her head. she did great and a week later we went back and got her staples removed. oh we figured out she fell off the bed and hit her head on the corner of the window sill. 
the pictures are not very good of her head but the first two are of the staples and the third is after the staples were removed.  


andon is 2 1/2 and is so adorable. i just love to give him hugs and kisses. he loves basketball and just got a new golf play set that is his new interest. he likes to wear glasses and his lip lops (flip flops) all the time. and i am not kidding, when he wakes up his shoes are the first thing he puts on and they stay on until i make him take them off for either a bath or bed. he plays with mikenna and kelton real well and likes to be outside. 







i love being a mom to these kids and life is good. john and i are great and just enjoying our family. hope everyone has a good rest of the summer before school starts again. :)
