Our old video camera broke a few months ago...so we finally got a new one. When we purchased the new one, it came with a tripod. Well the tripod came in the mail in a HUGE box....full of peanuts! The girls immediately jumped right in. It was loads of fun...
I teach Lauren's primary class and today our lesson was on service. We were talking about when Jesus cleaned the disciples feet and how dirty their feet got while they were walking around. I explained how Jesus washed the apostles feet and then asked the class, " What do you think Jesus was trying to teach the apostles?" Lauren raised her hand and said, " To wear shoes!" I couldn't help myself...I just busted up laughing. It was so funny!
Lauren likes to have Daddy teach her something before she goes to bed at night. She occassionally askes Mom...but well ya know. Daddy must be smarter because she prefers him. The other night they were talking about the animals in the ocean and one thing lead to another and Lauren is no longer innocent when it comes to the food on our dinner table. She said, Wait, chicken is...chicken? Like the chicken we eat is the same chicken as the chicken at the farm? What?? She then wanted Daddy to tell her more about what animals we eat....it was quite the conversation! I tried to think about the whole situation from her perspective and it was totally mind boggling.....I hope she continues to ask Daddy about it...I don't really want to think about everything we eat!
Kaitlyn and Rachel holding hands....too cute.
And of course, Lauren and Emma...just as crazy as ever!! They are so fun!
Poor little guy gets so tired sometimes...but that is when he is so cuddly and cute.
I don't dare walk into his room when he is sleeping...but this time I decided the chance of waking him up was worth it for the sweet picture.
We went to the Scarecrow Festival a few Saturdays ago. They had a TON of slides and bounce houses....the girls were in heaven! We all had fun going down the slides and playing games. Plus we REALLY enjoyed the yummy carmel apples. It was perfect weather, so all in all we had a great time.
Nathan turned six months on Kaitlyn's birthday....so here are some fun pictures of Nathan at six months. He weighed 17 lbs 14.5 oz at his appointment...don't remember his height. (Boy is it rough being the third child.) He has been enjoying eating solid foods too, love his fruits, can't get him to eat to many veggies yet. He is, I think, (knock on wood) starting to sleep better. A couple of nights ago he slept for four hours straight....and last night it was three! He also took a hour and 15 min nap today, all by himself in his room. So there is hope for the future....maybe he will give me a nice Christmas present and sleep through the night! We shall see. Either way he is adorable and we just love him to pieces! Kaitlyn is getting very skilled at making him laugh in the car and Nathan always has a sweet smile for Lauren. I love it when Nathan smiles at me or William but there is just something about that sweet innocent exchange of smiles between brothers and sisters. On another note, Nathan seems to think he needs to crawl soon. He gets on his hands and knees and rocks...usually ending up on his tummy but I think he is pretty close to figuring it out!
I don't know how I caught this picture....I don't really remember him doing it. I just thought it was pretty cute.
I LOVE this smug little smile of his. This face makes me think he knows so much more than I think he knows! So adorable.
We may be a little biased but he has to be the cutest little guy we know!
Well, instead of taking Kaitlyn in to get her pictures taken, I decided to just give it a try. They turned out pretty cute and we both had fun together. Now we just need to do Lauren and Nathan....
Gpa and Gma King got her some great Little People toys and she just LOVES them! Thanks guys! She plays with them all the time!
Kaitlyn wanted some friends and family over for cake and ice cream. She didn't quite know what to do when we sang Happy Birthday to her. She picked out a CareBear cake this year....it was a little bit harder to do....Nathan didn't really cooperate but it got done and turned out okay.
Blowing out her candles...I don't know why I put five candles on her cake. My brain doesn't work too well these days. Nathan doesn't let me sleep. :)
