We finally got a new computer! This may get a little long since we have a lot of catching up to do. The kids are growing like weeds, James is saying he is hungry constantly, he is eating us out of house and home. Kinley has been well for two whole weeks now - I think that is a record. She is sitting and rolling both ways. Josh's work is going pretty well in spite of the economical storm. We are progressing with the foster care thing, we just did our finger prints and are hoping to start classes at the end of March. James says he wants a 3 year old foster brother or sister so he can play with them all the time. He has been going through and "I can't be alone for two seconds" phase!! There isn't much else going on with us. I will type out short stories below
We went to eat at Ted's for dinner one night and Josh and I got margaritas. James asked if he could have a drink and we told him "no, it has alcohol" he said "well, margaaritas aren't good for your bodies" we asked him who taught him that and he said "I taught myselfes that"
He got Horton Hears a Who for Christmas and calls it Horton Hears a Whore! He also said "shutup boob" to me yesterday (lovely line from that movie)
He was riding bikes with our 8 year old neighbor and going down the big hill on our street and he had his first big bike crash but he came out with only a couple of scrapes and got back on 30 minutes later.
During the ice storm we were leaving walmart and he picked up a clump of ice/snow and threw it at a woman stranger's head! I was horrified!
You may remember the story of him driving his trucks through his poop?? Well we have one truck that survived the incident and we told him he could have it when he has had not accidents for 5 days in a row. At the end of January he was on his fifth day two hours from get the truck time. We had a celebratory moment that he had done so well and he was going to get the truck in two hours. Five minutes later he went in his room and pooped in his pants. We were all devestated. He hasn't gotten anywhere near five days again. I cried out to the Lord the other day " I cannot do this forever - PLEASE HELP" You can pray too if you want :)
A good James story is that he is learning to give the best hugs and kisses and when Josh and I returned from a weekend away he ran into our arms and loved on us so much we could hardly stand it - it makes all the aboved mentioned stuff easier to take.
Kinley and her fish lips
Josh and James were rocking in the recliner and fell backwards, scared us all to death then we laughed our heads off!
Isn't she beautiful - these were her valentines pictures
James likes to hold her now, but he said he will have to get stronger to hold her for a long time
Kinley's rash and peeling
The morning she woke up with her outfit backwards and one arm out
she was itching like crazy!
enjoying the flowers
Isn't he the sweetest!
Found a cave for hibernation
At the end of our date I told him that when people love each other and they go on a date they should tell the person they are with what they love about them. I told him I love how funny he is. I asked him what he loves about me and he said "because your so sweet mommy"! (I think he was thinking of a different mommy?!?!)
Today we went to the park and he was feeling brave, he worked every piece of equipment, it is crazy how strong he is getting.
This is Kinley having her first smoke -
she hooked up with some awesome dealers at the park in our neighborhood
She was obsessed with the sand, it was her first experience with it,
I couldn't even get her to look at me.
