Around the House

Con is just about everywhere these days. He is doing what a 10 month old should be and is getting into everything. It's half cute, half difficult. One thing he Loves is the dishwasher. Any time I am in the kitchen and he sees me open it up he comes bookin' over and gets his hands in their right away. It's fun when the dishes are clean, not so helpful when they are dirty. Still, he always looks cute doing it.
I love being a mommy of 3....such beautiful faces, tons of laughs, different personalities, So much fun! Really, can't think of anything more wonderful than being a Mommy to these kiddos.
This girl has so much spunk. Love it!
Kellen is becoming goofier and goofier the older he gets. It's fun to see him growing and maturing and coming into his own. He can be such a reserved and shy boy, that it is fun to see his wild, silly, light hearted side busting out more and more. He was getting a kick out of pretending like he was sleeping while I was trying to take the picture. As soon as I gave up and put the camera away he sat up and laughed out loud and said, "ha ha mama! I tricked you. I'm silly!" He's right.
Kenna is such a little mommy with Conner. It's still so fun seeing this side of her come out more. She's never been the type of kid to play much with dolls or play pretend mommy. So seeing her comfort and nurture and sweetly care for Conner is just so sweet to me. It is a big contrast to the way she "takes care" of Kellen. She prefers more to be Kellen's Sgt. and just boss him around all day long. It's fun to see the different dynamics/relationships between the kids.
Makenna and Kellen have adopted this new activity of making "gates" or "cages" for themselves using a serious of pillows, blankets and furniture. They then pretend to be an variety of animals while in their "gate". Makenna is often times Rudolph or a river otter (though in this picture she appears to be being something a bit more vicious). Kellen is always either a Rhino or a Kitty.

Poor Conner wants so badly to hang with the big kids outside. Almost any time they go outside Conner will go to the screen and stand there whining, screaming, yelping or just watching with envy as they ride their bikes and swing and run. He loves when Bella comes over and licks the screen and says hi to him. We spend a lot of time outside swinging because honestly, he is probably happier outside or swinging than he is anywhere. This is the main reason I am anxious for him to walk. It will be much easier to let him to keep up. My kids are just not the indoors type. I can't blame them.
Goofballs. What else can be said.
