ALL the INSANITY!

My kids...the cause of the insanity!

Ready, set, GO!

Kennedy loves the walker, sort of...

and Konrad tolerates it too.

Corbett's into creating things.  He told me to tape these papers around his arms and legs.  Luckily this time he wasn't planning to light the paper on fire!

she looks sweet, but she's trouble!

smiling because any second I will spit up on you...

We were crazy enough to let this happen!

Corbett's cousin Ryan came to church with us the next day.

Kennedy & Konrad take turns eating each other, they don't seem to mind.

Kennedy's a little bit better at this move.  They both love their toes!

Perhaps cousins shouldn't play on the same team.

So I thought it would be "fun" to take photos of Kennedy and some cousins in their tutus.   They looked cute but they didn't want to pose for my pictures very bad!

Luckily THIS happens on occasion...

so we can keep SOME of our sanity!

Top of Utah Marathon - 26.2!

My Cheerleaders

Cody ran the Top of Utah Marathon on Saturday! He did a great job, finishing in 3:47:19. We all came out to cheer him on!

All done!!  Wahoo!

Emery, Corbett, Coleman, and Anhder...Corbett made his sign all by himself!

These guys were rooting for their daddy...bib 411!

Outside Soccer

I thought this was cute...

Corbett's first goal in "outside soccer"

checking in with the referee

Corbett has been so excited to start playing "outside soccer".  He played indoors last spring and loved it.  He had his first game this week.  Two of his cousins are on his team and his Aunt Sandra is his coach.  He scored two goals in his first game and he's pretty proud of himself.  I guess we're pretty proud of him too.  There are no goalies in this league but Corbett was assigned to be "the" defender first.  He stood right in front of the goal and blocked two decent shots before he let one through.  I always said I didn't want my kids to be goalies (that's what I played) but it was pretty fun to see him block some shots.  They lost by about 7-3 but Corbett thinks they tied so he was happy but he might need to work on his math!

Preschool 2010

 

Corbett had his first day of preschool yesterday.  This is his second year , my sister and sister-in-law and I each take a day of the week and teach the boys.  Coleman and Carson are the other boys in the preschool.  I love having Corbett on somewhat of a schedule and he learns so much!  He knows how to read a lot of words and we're starting into math this year along with more reading.  He's growing up too much! 

 

He told me that this says "vote for Corbett".  I don't know what he's running for exactly but I love to see his creativity.  Right now he's building a remote control car out of a large block of wood, a smaller piece of wood, a rock, elmers glue, a leaf from my hasta, and a small plastic piece from an old paint sprayer.  I'm sure it will be up and running soon!

In Limbo!

I wish we had more to report for the past few weeks. For the two weeks following Kennedy coming home she was attached to an oxygen machine. We could hook her up to an oxygen tank and go places but we didn't do that very often. For those two weeks I think I left the house three times...maybe. Kennedy has started to grow. We had a 2-week follow up at Primary Childrens and she had gained over a pound since the day of her surgery. She's starting to develop some skills, rolls on her side and bats at things. We're grateful for her every day!
Recently I was in JoAnn's with Kennedy and at the check out a lady commented on what a doll Kennedy is. Usually I'm not so forthcoming but I blurted out that she had just had open heart surgery and that she was a twin. While the cashier (who might have been 20) checked me out he told me that his brother died when he was Kennedy's size. He also had a heart defect. He then commented that they could have saved his brother now days. As I left he told me to "treasure her".
So now she is off oxygen and her incision is pretty much healed I am starting to feel more normal and up to doing things and going places again, just in time for Corbett to start preschool.
Thank you to everyone for coming to visit and check up on us. We are so blessed with caring family and friends.  I have been taking pictures of my kids...one of my favorite pass times so here they are!
