Simple...

I NEED TO BLOG AGAIN!!!

 I have just felt that I don't have time....always my excuse.  

and I thought, nope. 

not going to make excuses anymore.

just keep it simple.  

AHA....wow, what a concept (hehehe)

sometimes what seems to be soooo simple at one time, becomes soooo complicated if we let it.

So, here I am simplifying my blogging.  

I'm not talking about anything of importance really....just throwing up some good old pictures.  

Here is our little cherub...Beckett.

He was checking out the cows in the field behind our home.

All Work....AND play?!

Wow....this feels soooo good to blog again!

I won't apologize for the lack of it either....

because I have been so busy having fun with my kiddos as they start school! Just getting two kids off to school everyday is a job in itself...

My mornings lately start waaaaaay too early to mention with a good run or workout.

Get home, wake up Kammy

Bathe Kammy

Dress her, feed her, clear out back pack (woops...shoulda done the night before)

do the homework intended for night before, fix the curls...thank you Dad and Grandma Diane (I have NO CLUE what I'm doing with them)

Grab shoes, grab keys, sunglasses so I don't frighten other parents

Grab Kammy and of course Jameson comes along for the ride!

Once I drop her off, I repeat the above with Jameson.

Speaking of which, the entire purpose of this post is to show off some pictures from his very first day of any school... preschool!!!

This is him acting like a monkey???

....stretching maybe???

????

Awwwwwwww.

J with his teacher Mrs. Wright

After his first day of school....munching on a yummy cookie he brought home :)

You can see Beckett cramming down the teeny tiny piece that was shared with him

And of course a few with big sister Kammy....who also got a piece.

We taught him well ;)

I know...I know...one last pic....apparently very painful for some (Jameson).

Hopefully not for you.

Lets hope I can do this weekly.....fingers crossed!!

Just a little something

ahhh, where does the time go?

Time sure doesn't stop and lately we haven't either =)

The kids are getting big!

Jameson just turned 3!!

He starts preschool this fall, he is SOOO excited. He loves to cry at least 5-6 times a day...oooh and he LOVES a good old fashioned sprawl on our floor immediately following ;) But seriously, he's hilarious...that boy makes the funniest faces and comments.

Kammy starts Kindergarten and asks quite often how many more days until then. Once you tell her that, she insists upon a breakdown of just how long that is...you see where this goes. She is STILL a great help around here, some days she takes over completely haha!

Beckett is 100% Daddy's boy, he tolerates me when he's not around ;)

He loves his fruit snacks and attempts to say all kinds of stuff lately...JJ, hello, nana, mama, dada (of course his fave)

He loves yo gabba gabba, dancing, climbing on Guinness, and opening every single drawer/cupboard and pulling any and all things breakable out of them.

I shot (covered sounds a little better ;) a wedding downtown this passed weekend. We all went to scope the grounds and I snapped some pictures of the kids. I love this door!

J of course felt that a trip downtown cannot go without one of his meltdowns

Turned out he just needed to use the restroom :)Hence the pic below

And this is what Brad experiences just about every moment he is home

Jealous???

thanks for checking in on my poor neglected blog :)

Who doesn't love cheese??!!!

...I know I do!

especially when it comes from these guys

I had to get a couple shots of Kammy in her leggings/shorts. It is funny to me how I will see certain trends on adults...think it is maybe not so cute....er, maybe, I am just jealous because I feel like I can't pull it off :) (remember san fran Megan? hehe)

But then I put it on Kammy and I think it's the cutest thing ever!

She is that beautiful =)

Another Birthday!

(for those who are the sentimental type...feel free to check out just a couple images...a snippet of our lives)

Happy Birthday Bradley!

You know I love you, thanks for giving me three of the most beautiful babies, and thanks for being the most funny, adorable, loving man that I plan to grow old with :)

Love,

Kate xoxo

(please excuse my ghetto video making skills)

Baby Boy...Now a Man...almostish

In my mind, I was going to make this big huge post with all the gazillion pics I took of Beckett and the kids today.

It's 11:39pm

Soooo...I picked three images that I hope will somewhat satisfy

...for now :)

Happy Birthday Beckett!

You are one of the cutest little blonde haired chubs I know!

Love Mom.

i feel like these pictures are so telling of what my children are like I just had to share.

I just can't get enough =)

P.S. Beckett turns ONE next month!!!

Two posts in one week! (does that last one count?)

Disneyland...I Love You.

I love your ability to make me smile

laugh even...

I love the way you smell,

Oh, and the songs you sing to me.

I love the way you light up.

I love the way I feel when I am in your presence.

Yes, you are THAT good.

Most of you know, we went to the happiest place on earth!

I am feeling "un-funny" (pretty sure that's not a word)

and tired, and so....I'm not sure what my commentary will consist of for this post...we'll see

We got to our hotel, unpacked, and got the kiddos dressed up for the California Adventure trick-or-treat that evening.

Here is Alice in Wonderland, Mickey Mouse, and Spiderman

Love how they all looked...too cute!

Beckett refused to wear the hat longer than it took to take the first pic

Outside our hotel, on our way....

So CUTE

Love them.

Kammy had to take a pic of us :)

We're not in focus...which completely represents the way kids see us anyway :)

Love this shot, but look closely, see where I put the green arrow...

that's where the water once was. weird huh? they are re-doing all kinds of stuff in Cal Advent.

Kammy started her obsession with the peace sign for pics lately...NO idea where that came from!

BUT, I love it, how cute is that? haha!

After a looong super fun first night.

Wearing matching jammies.

Basically, after this pic, some stuff really hit the fan!

I'm pretty sure you all know Jameson woke up at 3a.m. unable to breathe.

Long story really short...

Brad took him to the ER.

he had H1N1 (they don't test for it specifically anymore, but that is what they diagnosed him with)

It was scary, but, after a steroid shot to butt, and a breathing treatment he was Much Much Much better!

Of course that put a kink in our DL trip...but, we made the best of it!

This was during my turn with Kammy and Beckett at the park

(we had shifts, Brad with J at hotel, then me with him)

Cutest sleeper ever!

We actually had a lot of fun! I hope we didn't spread the H1N1 to too many people on that first night ha ha!

I shouldn't laugh...sorry :) hahahahahaha

I didn't get a lot of pics after the first night, not sure why....Pushing a stroller, parking the stroller, holding kammy's hand with Beckett on my hip...hand sanitizer...pump for me, pump for kammy, pump for Beckett, on ride we go. Off ride, sanitize all three again...check! Find stroller... pull out camera (yeah right)

I hope to get some pics up of Halloween before Christmas.
