Blast from the past.

Posted in Videos by Josh

Let’s settle it once and for all. Which one of our kids looks the most like me… and most like Katie.

This was from our rehearsal dinner. Take a look and try not to make fun of me for my middle school pictures. :)

A Blue Day

Posted in Parenting, Random Katie, Just Funny by Katie

I go back and forth between whether I think that this is a boy baby or a girl baby. I’ve decided that, at this point, it’s a Win-Win situation.  I don’t have a boy yet so that would be really cool, but there is also something special about having three-of-a-kind.  We’ll be thrilled at either outcome, but….today is a Blue Day.

Today I want a little boy.  Mainly because of something I read over at my friend Heather’s blog:

“When you have a boy, you have to worry about one boy on the planet. When you have a girl, you have to worry about every boy on the planet.”

Sigh.

The weekend at a glance

Posted in Summer Fun, Just Life, Family by Josh

This was a good weekend. Take a look…

The girls start by browsing their favorite new site. Yo Gabba Gabba

Then I remember that we have an inflatable pool and of course the girls are game.

Mini Vanning

Posted in Friends, Just Life by Josh

Today we gave  the Willis boys  a ride to school.   It was crazy, loud and fun.    A little too much flirting in the back seat, but hey I’m probably just a little over protective.  :)

Fairly odd…but cute

Posted in Just Life, Crazy Children by Josh

My children love wearing goggles. Not swimming, just wearing goggles. It’s just a little weird, but of course I love them anyway. Charlotte wore them all the way home.

I’m Ready!!!

Posted in Classic Photos, Family by Katie

I am officially ready for this child to get here. (Nevermind the fact that I have 14 weeks left!) The pregnancy has flown by so far, but the end of it can’t get here soon enough. My friend, Sandi, just had her baby, and the time I’ve spent holding Abbi has gotten all my maternal instincts revving into high gear. I have been going through our old pics and found this one of Charlotte at 4 weeks old:

Look at that little mouth and tiny fingers! I can’t wait for that again. The sweet-smelling baby breath, the tiny, furnace-like body, and even that delirious, sleep-deprived look in my eye.

I just can’t wait.

P.S. Yes, this clearly is the result of some influx of happy mommy hormones, but I don’t care to remember the “other stuff” just yet. I’m going to keep looking at this picture to get me through ;)

Zoo Trip

Posted in Spring Fun, Family by Katie

We’ve been a little slack lately, so please bear with the retroactive posts. I’m a little slow moving for the time being :)

A couple of weekends ago we enjoyed a little good weather at the zoo. We fought some unbelievable school field trip crowds and still managed to see all the animals.

The girls were far more interested in the Jell-O and the train ride.

It was a great day. Can’t wait to go back!

Okay Chris…

Posted in Videos, General by Josh

I’ve been busy geez… here’s your post.  So last week I was in a wedding in North Carolina. It just so happened that they had a full band at the reception… and it just so happened that all of the members of my old band were in attendance (and our manager who negotiated the terms of our impromptu performance).

Side note: our drummer was getting married AND it had been three years since we played together.

Here is quick highlight of us doing one of our original songs… it was fun. Just like old times, except without all of the practicing, sound checking and late nights.

In case you were wondering. That is apple juice that Chance, our singer, is drinking. ;)

Tummy Talk

Posted in Videos, Crazy Children by Josh

Charlotte has started talking to the baby through Katie’s stomach.  I didn’t have the heart to tell her that the baby can’t understand what she’s saying.  :)   This one is short but cute.

Homemade Ice Cream

Posted in Spring Fun, Just Life by Josh

Yesterday Katie made a batch of homemade strawberry ice cream.  The best part was obviously the clean up.  It’s fun to be a kid.
