Busy Bees!

Crusing around the neighborhood

Chance helping grandma babyproof

We have settled in, and the kids are doing great! We met our new pediatrican today and he is awesome, he said Chance is the size of a 21 month old... and estimates he will be 6'2 by the age 18..YEAH! K has finally reached the 20 pound mark, and has 4 teeth coming in that makes 12! Such a big girl... the doctor estimates she will be 5'10, pretty neat how he can guess that. We don't have a good internet connection so posts might not be as often as before, but I'm taking the next few nights to catch up.

We waited at Jessica's parents house for them to arrive from dinner

Future Mr. and Mrs. LaPrade

Jessica and Ross got enganged September 19th!! I had known about the ring for a few months and it was the hardest thing to keep to myself. I'm so glad the kids and I got to celebrate with them right after Ross asked Jess, we are very much looking forward to April! Kinley is the flower girl, Chance is the ring barrier and I'm the MAID OF HONOR!!!! Jessica's energectic spirit and encouraging smile is a great part of our lives and I can't wait to help her with the wedding.

Tourist in Mckinney

Tuesday was a pretty busy day for us, we had to be in work pretty early and then had a doctors appointment in the afternoon. I wanted the kids to get their last check up before we hit the road, poor Kinley still has fluid in her ears and had to get a shot in her hip. Of course I had to leave the room because I started tearing up. After all the tears and screaming for an hour and half, Jessica and I took the kids to downtown Mckinney for site seeing. We then headed over to her parents house for dinner, the kids love going over there. Chance and his buddy Shelby (jess's dad) hung outside most of the time talking about and showing dead pigeons...GROSS! We are going to miss going over there, Chance always loves Shelby's plant collection..which now non have any leaves or flowers left.

B's Birthday Party

Brayden's birthday party was this past Saturday and with 20 something kids, hurricane Ike, and farm animals in the garage the party was still a big hit! The talk of the party was of course the cake Tammy made! I really want to nominate her for ace of cakes, she does an amazing job. Kinley and Chance were up for most of the party and I was lucky enough to have a few mom's help me out, (Special thank you to Jennifer!) She was brave enough to take Chance in with the farm animals.

Brayden's first game

B had his first game Monday and did an awesome job!!

I love the sam's carts, double seats! Tammy was shopping for Brayden's party this weekend so we tagged a long to help out. We had two full carts and four kids so it was a little crazy!

Packing

She loves game days!

I started buying leg warmers for K and they are so convenient to change diapers and awesome for when she is crawling on the hardwood floors... They are so freakin cute!

For those of you that don't know we are moving back to my hometown, Orlando,FL in 2 weeks. So we have started packing! It's a big task packing with Kinley and Chance, both like to take everything out that I will put in a box. This box had no chance of making the move, Chance pretty much destroyed it after these pictures.

Chance's new thing is the crab walk

Catching Up

Lately I haven't been very good about updating the blog, so I apologize (mom!!) :)
Here is what's been going on with us:


Gators won on Saturday aganist Hawaii 56-10...WOOHOO!!

After I messed with Kinley's hair I was very afraid to give Chance a short haircut so Jess and I took em to a pro. He did pretty well but toward the end he was over it. I let him take a few licks of a lolipop the lady gave him and he was a huge fan.




Brayden turned 4 on Sunday! We had dinner and a homemade cake by mimi! The best!!



We Love you B! The babes are looking forward to your party!



One of Brayden's cool presents was a mini bounce house, today I put the kids in it to play and they loved it!!
