WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Just soak'n up the sun

We've had a beautiful past couple of days.

So we pulled Sidney's jumperoo outside so she could enjoy the fresh air too!

She LOVED it!

A girl's got to accessorize!

We got bored

Daddy was absorbed with football, Prestyn was sleeping, Sidney was a little fussy, Cayden was bored, so we entertained ourselves.

Someday they'll look at these pictures and laugh.

hopefully a good laugh, not a "my mom was CRAZY" laugh.

Baltic Amber Teething neckalces

I've heard so many good reviews about these necklaces, and have been researching them and wanting to buy one for Sidney for a few weeks now.

I keep being drawn to the honey rounds.

Prayer

~THIS BOY~

Cayden, he just melted my heart tonight & made me thankful for his open heart & childlike faith.
*
We went to dinner after soccer tonight, we had gotten our food, sat at the table (Prestyn was already chowing down) and Cayden said "Lets pray...like this" and holds his hands out to form a circle with everyone at the table.
*
He then bowed his head, closed his eyes & said "I'll pray" and proceeded with his prayer that went something along the lines of "Thank you God for this beautiful day, and thank you for soccer, and thank you for our food, amen"
*
It was so sweet and honest & full of love, I wanted to cry.
*
My child, who had no fear to grab Grandma's hand & Uncle Curts hand in a restaurant and lead us in prayer.
*
I pray he always has that heart of love, and is always true about his faith & willing to share it!!
*
I'm just so proud of our son, I just had to share.
Sometimes I take for granted what we are teaching him, and it's times like these that I realize all he's absorbing & it makes me strive to be better.
*
I love this kid!
(and Prestyn & Sidney too)

Here's your sign....

Okay - so I swore I wouldn't tell ANYONE this.

and then proceeded to tell everyone.

*

*

*
let's just say I've been a little "FRAZZED" lately.

*

what? You say...Kimberly...frazzed...noway!

*

*

*

*

Yep, that's me.

Talking on my cell phone (we don't have a home line) to my friend Lorisa.
We're are all business as I have to get all 3 kids out the door to get Cayden to AWANA.

The boys are standing around my feet "roaring" at the top of their lungs.

Lorisa says "how are you?"

*

HONESTY ensues.

*

*

*

*

*

I tell her: "I'm completely frazzed" (as I'm looking all over the cupboards) "I have to get Cayden to AWANA, (searching the top of the microwave) Prestyn has just pooped his pants, (searching the "nursing station") I can barely hear you over the roaring, and now I can't find my phone"

*

*

*

*

*

*

Lorisa says "YOU.CAN'T.FIND.YOUR.PHONE" and starts giggling.

*

*

*

*

*Oh my soul- I can't believe I "couldn't find my phone" the whole time it's sitting in my hand as I talk to my friend.

That's my sign that I've LOST IT.

WOW ~ I better go to bed.

4 MONTHS OLD!

SIDNEY CARIN
My baby girl is 4 months old today! WOW how time flies.
~Today she weighs 13lbs 10 oz (50%)
25 1/2 inches long (85%)

She's a sweet little girl and loves to see what's going on.
She wants to face out when being held so she can watch all the activity.
She loves to SIT, weather it be on our lap or in the bumbo.
Sidney loves to grab for her toys and reach for things.
She has mastered rolling from her belly to her back & has figured out how to roll onto her side when on her back - so I don't think it'll be long & she'll be rolling all the way.
Sidney LOVES to be talked to, and loves to "talk" back by cooing and making blurbery noises.
She appears to be teething, she drools like crazy & her shirt is usually drenched by midday.
*
I love my baby girl & am so thankful for her sweet smiley face!!
When she wakes up in the morning & I go in to get her I get the sweetest sleepy face smiles, they just melt my heart & make everything worthwhile.
