Brent Drives to Mississippi

This is the morning Brent was leaving.  I thought they looked so cute just sitting there watching him pack. 
Brent Vacuum packed his clothes in order to get them into the mini!
Kelton took this one so we'd always remember Dad!
Valuable space for the blue corn tortilla chips. (:
Grandma came and helped us get Brent on the road.
We were joking about the vacuum packing coming undone.  If it had I don't klnow if we would have been abe to find Brent in the car!
Hugs from Halle!
We miss you!!!!
Brent seems to like the warm weather in Mississippi.  He also thinks it is going to be a bit of a culture shock for us all!  I look like I am already in shock.

The kids really miss Daddy already and are counting down the days until he comes home to tickle, chase, jump on the trampoline, and dance with them.

March News So Far!

I guess I better do a quick update before anything else happens!  Kara broke her finger last night!  She didn't want me to be the only person in the house with a broken hand.
Kelton ran into a boy (cousin Reggie) at school while they were both attempting to catch the football!  I said, "I'm going to have to talk to his mother!" (joking of course when I found out who he ran into)  Kelton quickly said (looking a little worried), "it wasn't his fault mom, we were both just going for the football!"  Kelton doesn't like anyone to get into trouble!  I guess Reggie had a pretty good goose egg as well, but it did not split open like Kelty's!
They thought he needed stitches, but the tape actually did the job!
These pictures don't really do it justice!
There was a cute couple of Leprechauns living at my house doing nice things(Kara and Kelton)!  Gotta love those kids.  I actually thought Brent had made the bed and then I remembered he was in Mississippi.
Halle is doing great at preschool and still loving every minute of it!
Hayden loves his robe!  Silly boy!
This is what my bed looks like since Brent left!  I don't get much sleep!  I'm sure I will have fully ruined them by the time Brent gets back.  I told him to look for a one bedroom!!
Kara being a little teacher!
My cute Halle looking rather old with her new haircut!  She wants to be just like Kara!
Nothing else new.  We try to be boring around here.  I like boring!

Kara Turns 9

Happy Birthday Kara!
It was a crazy time, but we did a lot of celebrating!  Lot's of cousins!
We love Kara!  She is the best!  She always tries so hard to do her very best.  She works very hard at school and is always willing to help me.  If I am having a hard day Kara always brightens it by helping.  If I cry she comforts Halle by saying "she's crying because she is just so happy (probably because lateley if someone is nice to me I cry)."
Kara had a few girls over for dancing, a movie, pizza, and lots of junk!
We decorated cupcakes!  Halle's were funny!
Kara has very sweet friends!
Kara got her haircut for her Birthday!  She also sang in her program at school, which she was very exited about!
Grandma and Grandpa had the family party at their house because of my injury!
Kara got a new doll that she had been wanting from G&G and then came home to a fun butterfly from Manny.  My camera was broken during Kara's birthday so we did not get all the pictures we wanted.
Aunt Natalie made the cake(thank goodness I had so much help or this birthday wouldn't have been so great!!)
I'm telling you Kara can win stuffed animals like it is no ones business!  She won this out of that dumb machine that I believe is a waste of money and no one ever wins!  Well Kara has proved me wrong 3 times now.  This is her 3rd stuffed animal won out of the claw machine and the impressive part is that she does it on her first try every time!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARA!!!!
