Nuh Nuh Nuh Nuh...

BATMAN!!! He was here the other day reading some books in C's top bunk. You will get to see more around Halloween... Well, I am sure you are all anxiously awaiting an update on J. Things are going really well. He is very sweet and has been very thankful for everything that so many people have done for him. I mean, he even took the trash out last night and I didn't even ask. He even makes his bed everyday...yikes!! :) The kids are really enjoying having him around as well. On Friday, J and C played tag in the backyard for about an hour. I felt bad for J, but he said he didn't mind... And here is a picture of K Bel with J. Speaking of K Bel, she had her picture taken a lot this week. It seems like she really grew up or something. She has been cooing for a while, but this week, she started really getting after it. She has had some very serious conversations especially with her monkey... She is still not a real big fan of tummy time...she would rather rest her head. So, I propped her up yesterday on this thing and she looked around for a minute and then she....yep, rested her head... AND....look how big. K Bel is sitting in one of those bumbo seats and she LOVES it. She is not strong enough to stay there too long, but she loves being able to sit up and see all around her. The kids really think it is funny to see her sitting up. I think it makes me sad that she is growing up so fast. Speaking of growing up, F has really changed in the past week. Behavior, you say? Oh NO...she is still bad to the bone :) ! But, she will walk up to me and say Mama Mama and reach her hands up!! That is huge. And....last night she walked up to Hubs and said Daaaaaada while she was hanging on his legs after he got home. Hmmmm....this makes it so much harder to think of what might be to come. uggg. But, don't worry...the only picture I have of her this week is when she ate some dirt out of the tractor in the back yard. That helps bring me back to reality :) !! That girl...gotta love her! Hubs had a 'bye' week (no game) last week, so this weekend he didn't have to work quite as much. It was really nice having him home. We miss him so much during football season. This week is forthcoming (that is what homecoming is called before you actually have graduated seniors that can come HOME for homecoming...get it?). So, it is a big game. J is number 71 I think...so maybe we need to make shirts with his number painted on the back of them...ha...just kidding. Although he said he would like that, I am afraid he is just being nice! :) But, back to Hubs and the weekend....here is a cute picture of Hubs, C, and K Bel... OH and don't let me forget to tell you about K and her nap mat. Oh my....I have never seen such an obsession in my entire life. We need about three of them. She has to take it to school with her for rest time. But she also believes that she has to take it to bed with her for night time and nap time and don't worry....she gets it out of her bed in between those times to keep it out on the living room floor. Here she is patting her nap mat and saying....'i love my nap mat'. Last but certainly not least, my very sweet friend Betsy came over for a playdate last week. We had a lot of fun. She kept the girls for me last year when I would go to work. She was also my assistant when I taught full time. I LOVE her!! She just had a baby about six weeks ago, so she came to show him off. Kynlee wanted to hold him and kiss him of course. And Coburn (her 2 year old) went straight for the toys. We had a great time with them and it was great to see them. Have a great week everyone... PS....I am getting so old. I am gearing up for my 10 year reunion. I helped with a phone blitz to old classmates yesterday and it was so weird. Wow...so much has changed. Four classmates have passed away and so many are left to 'find'. But, on the good side...so many of us are still great friends and keep in touch. We are having our reunion in November. I am still deciding if I should go...hmmmm....
