Overdue update....

Long time, no post!  Sorry.  I have not had the time to post and have told myself a hundred things I need to remember to write about on here but I will be lucky to remember 5 of those.

Kamryn Louise is now 19 months old!  She has really exploded with her vocabulary in the last month.  My little 20 pounder is kinda sassy.  She has perfected the "No No!" with a finger point so we are all sure to hear about it if we are doing something wrong or not in her favor.  If I were to predict her future, I'd say she is not going to take any crap from anyone!  She likes to pick on her brother almost more than he picks on her.  Although they pick on each other, they love each other to pieces!  Kamryn still struggles with saying "Graham" so to her he is "bubba."  She loves to play with her new laptop (for kids of course), mommy's phone, dig through mommy's purse and drawers, play outside, chase basketballs in the gym, playing with playdough, and has a major obsession with shoes!  For whatever reason, she seems to think her black boots go well with everything from her diaper to her leggings.

Graham is almost 3 1/2 years old.  He is still in preschool!  Sounds like he is a smart little boy and the teacher can call on him whenever she needs an answer but otherwise he is living in his own world and doesn't follow instructions so well.  We will  continue to work on that department!
Gabe introduced him to the movie, "Toy Story."  Quite often, Graham swears he is "Buzz Lightyear."  This past Christmas was his first ever Christmas program.  We were so excited to see him sing with this class!  They had 4 songs to perform.  Between the preschool and pre-K classes there were 48 students.  Graham was placed in the front row....I had my camera and was also sitting in the front of the church....His classmates sang Jingle Bells while he held his arms straight out to the side pretending as though he was Buzz Lightyear!  Anytime the little girl in her Christmas dress, standing next to him, would sway back and forth in her dress, Graham would glare at her like she was the most annoying being on this Earth!  As if Buzz wasn't bad enough, he stood there and picked his nose as well!  :)  Nice huh!
Never too many dull moments in our house.  He still says several clever things and makes us laugh!
A couple weeks ago, when he was "a doctor" (we never know what he will be from day to day) I asked him if he would like a cheese stick for a snack and his response was, "Mom, no, Doctors don't eat cheese they eat 'saugesas'"  I spelled that wrong on purpose b/c that is about how it sounds as it rolls off his toungue.  He loves beef jerky or beef sausage sticks.

As if we are not busy enough, we decided rather than buy a house, we wanted to renovate our basement.  We are building Grahams bedroom and redoing the bathroom.  My cousin Cody, helped us tremendously with all the framing and sheet rocking, moving doorways and building new, and mudding the ceilings.  Gabe has done a ton of work himself.  He laid the tile floor in our bathroom, did most all the plumbing, dug out concrete, did some electrical work, hung light fixtures and installed the shower.  I take care of the kids while he does all this stuff!  He painted the bathroom and Graham's new room.  It's all coming togeteher!!  Anxious to finish the basement so we can then move our laundry to the basement and make the current laundry room a pantry!!

Well I have some work to do for basketball so I better wrap this up.  Hope all is well!  until next time....the Journey continues!
