Husband training

OK... so I know its takes a long time to "train a husband" but one question... isn't that what their mothers are for?! To train them before they get married!? I know my mother in law tried! :) My point being... I think I pick up more after my 28 year old kid more than my 2 year old! Or at least she listens when I tell her to pick up her stuff! Anyway, I hope I raise Gavin to pick up his crap and that he doesn't "forget" how to pick up after himself once he gets hitched. I love you babe, but come on... I know you see that shoe you walk over every time you get out of bed!

Fazoli's breadsticks

So Makenna's new favorite thing to do is feed the ducks at St. George golf course in Bloomington Hills. We've only done it twice. The first time we took Target popcorn and they ate it all up... the second time we were eating at Fazoli's with the Osborns and Bryan had a genius idea of taking the breadsticks to feed them. Let me tell you, ducks, swans, and geese LOVE breadsticks. Makenna threw a whole breadstick in the pond and it was hilarious to watch them fight over it. One duck took it and started to swim away with it and the other ducks tried to steal it. It was pretty dang funny. Here are some pics of the girls over there.

Our little "CUE"

Well, Gavin (aka cueball since he has absolutely no hair, he does have long eyelashes though) is now three months old! I can't believe how fast it went. I think its more crazy that its April than he is three months old! I have FINALLY settled down into having two kids. I didn't think I would have as hard of a time as I did, but now I can finally function most mornings and not stress the rest of the day. I think I must be retarded because everyone said that having two was easier than one but I have to disagree on that one! Thats OK... he is so dang cute so it has been worth the "stress" Makenna finally started leaving him alone about 3 weeks after he was born, but since she has been a little rebellious this past week, she has picked on the little bug! She even bit his thumb! She has never bit anyone before and his poor little finger was the first victim. He only screamed for about 15 minutes and then he was fine. She was put in time out (which she could care less if she was in or not) and then all was well. I need to find a better way to discipline her, but it seems as if nothing will work.

Gavin is smiling all the time now and he is finally content after he is done eating due to me actually feeding him what he needs! He smiles and is starting to laugh out loud now along with cooing. He is so cute! He is sleeping a lot better (not all the way through the night though unfortunately) but soon enough he will. He likes his hands and is absolutely fascinated with his feet (which look like hands since his toes are so freakishly long). I'm afraid he will have size 13 feet like his father. But you know what they say about big feet! :) He is a strong little boy who hates to be burped. He loves his baths though! He is also pretty laid back for being three months old and being mauled by his big sis. He usually isn't too bothered by her trying to "share" her blanket (by share I mean putting the blanket over his head and then giving him a hug and suffocating him). We love our little cue and are glad he is here! Don't mind the red eye in the pics... I couldn't edit them for some reason!


This is of him sneezing but I thought it was still adorable!

Horton the Elephant!

So yesterday my mom and I took Kenna and Gavin to Horton Hears a Who while my dad and Brent were in meetings. She did better than expected and sat through the part when Horton was on and not so interested when the Who's were on... She was stoked to go to say the least. We bought her the little kids meal and she was so excited to eat her popcorn. When we first walked into the show she said "OH, BIG TV!" Gavin didn't do so hot (yes, I was one of those people that brought their little baby, how annoying I know) but once he ate he fell back asleep and we were good! Here are a couple of pics of her enjoying her first movie!

ITS BAAAAACK!

OK.... so over the writers strike break, my brother let us borrow The Office seasons of his. And then bless his little heart he gave Brent a copy of them for Christmas! Anyway, we got addicted and have been counting down the days until it starts up again. So THURSDAY APRIL 10 at 8:00 PM on NBC!

KISS THE GRILL!

Kenna's favorite movie is "MERLAID" aka The Little Mermaid. Everytime we are in the car, we have to watch Merlaid. Usually I don't turn the sound on for her so I can rock out to my own tunes, but recently I have been a little more unselfish and let her listen to the words, especially if I know what part she is watching. She has a pretty good memory and so after a few times of watching it with noise she starting singing "SHA LA LA LA LA KISS THE GRILL! KISS THE GRILL!" SHA LA LA LA LA LA don't be scared, KISS THE GRILL!" Anyway, so dang funny...

BE DICE!

OK, so the past week my sweet little daughter who always listened and was so sweet, has turned into a little demon child! She has been so naughty I can't hardly stand it! She now has been hitting, not listening on purpose and mauling Gavin every time I'm not protecting the poor little guy! On top of that, she has been SO WHINY! My heck... anyway, there is a reason for this fortunately. She has a cold. I hope this is the reason at least and not her new permanent attitude! It is sad she has a cold and has been so congested that she says a couple of words that are funny. Her best little friend Camryn did something to her and Kenna looked at her and said "BE DICE!" instead of be NICE... I thought it was so cute. We all know how it is trying to talk with a nose full of snot. Hopefully it passes soon so I can have my little girl back!
