WARNING...picture overload

We had our family pictures done a couple of weekends ago and the photographer (Kristin Bednarz) did a wonderful job! The kids were acting goofy, Justin was grumpy, and Harper was NOT cooperating so when we were done, I thought, there is NO WAY she got any decent shots! But she did! I was surprised. Anyway, here are some of my favorites:

5 months!

Harper is 5 months! I can't believe how fast time is flying by. I think I say that with every post but it's so true! Everyday is something new. She has her own little personality and her likes and dislikes. She growls, laughs a lot, spits, says ba ba ba ba, and is sitting up! I always said when I was pregnant that she's our little over acheiver because she always measured big, and she seems to still be ahead, developmentally speaking. The other 2 did not sit up this early! Here's some videos I took of her a few days before she turned 5 months:




We have a new niece! Miss Piper Paige made her QUICK arrival into the world on February 23rd! She's precious with TONS of hair!! She is the first baby for Justin's brother Lee and his wife Katie.

Justin was being goofy!

Paycos and Kyler are both playing baseball this year and practice has begun! It looks like we'll stay pretty busy this season. Paycos' team has practice 3 times a week! I think that's ridiculous for 7 year olds so we'll probably only do 1 maaaayyybe 2 a week. Kyler is sooo excited and I think she'll be the little athlete of the family. She's pretty darn good!

Ready for practice

We also had some family pictures made this weekend so hopefully I'll be able to post some on here!!!

Big questions for a little girl

Conversation with my 4 year old while driving in the car:

K: How do we get to heaven?
me: Umm...well...hmmm.....actually....um....we go to Heaven when God is ready for us!
K: But HOW do we get to Heaven?
me: Well...umm...the angels take us
K: How?
me: They fly down and pick us up
K: How?
me: I guess they carry us in their arms or maybe we ride on their backs?!
K: I'm scared
me: Why?
K: What if they drop me?
me: They won't
LONG PAUSE.............
K: (Teary voice) Will you miss me?
me: What?
K: Will you miss me when I'm in Heaven?
me: I'll be in Heaven with you!!
K: Oh!
LONG PAUSE.............
K: What about our house?
me: What about it?
K: Will someone live there when we go to Heaven?
me: Yes-we won't need it anymore. We'll have our own house in Heaven.
LONG PAUSE..............
K: I'm gonna be a Cheerleader when I grow up!!!!
me: That sounds GREAT!!!!!!

Phew!!! I was glad to be done with that conversation!! That girl can ask some hard questions!!! She always catches me off guard and I'm never really sure what to say!!!! She has had A LOT of questions lately about dying and Heaven although I'm not sure why. Just curious I guess! I wish I could have better answers for her!

Valentines Day

Our Valentine Surprise!! Justin and I have been talking about getting a "friend" for Tuff but couldn't really decide what kind of dog to get. I wanted another yorkie but they are just so expensive. We really lucked out with Tuff-he was a reasonable price and turned out to be a good dog. Anyway, Justin had to work on Valentine's Day and he came home with a really sweet card. Then he said he forgot something in the truck and came in with this teeny tiny Maltese! The kids were sooo excited! We haven't really named him yet-Kyler likes "cutie" Paycos likes "Thunder" and Justin & I like "Trooper". We have called him several names but I think Trooper is going to stick!!

Kyler turned 4 on January 11th!!! She just thinks she is a big girl now! We had her party at Jumpin' Jungle and she loved playing with her friends and of course being the center of attention!

I thought this picture was so funny!

Ok, so I did 4 new updates but it posted them backwards! Scroll down and start from the bottom!

Just because

And because I couldn't resist, I had to give these pictures of Harper their very own post!! I know it's a lot but I couldn't choose just 1 to put on here! I wanted to take a picture of her and ended up taking 57!! It was like a mini photo shoot!
