Little Lexie

Since we've been together Kurt has always talked about wanting to get a cat. He loves cats but we've always lived in places that don't allow pets. I've been trying to figure out what to get him for our anniversary, on the 24th of this month it will be our 5th anniversary. He promised to get me a ring, we went in, picked it out and should be picking it up on Monday. He spoiled me and I wanted to give him something special.

I can't say that I am a huge pet fan but knowing how much he loves them I decided to look around for a kitten. When I saw the picture of her I was smitten. We picked up the newest member of our family yesterday evening, we call her Lexie. She is 6 weeks old and the more ADORABLE thing EVER! We love her, the kids over love her and she seems to love us too!

Makeup??

Liam and Kylie have on occasion put on my makeup. Usually eye shadow but ALWAYS mascara. Kylie is actually very good at putting on mascara. Sometimes we don't even know she has any on until she cries and has black lines running down her cheeks. Liam looks like a little puppy with one dark eye in these pictures.

Here is the result...

Our Monkeys

Ok, so seriously- I'm not the most up-to-date blogger but I try!

Life is good. We moved out to Okotoks the end of May. We were sad to have to pull Liam out of such a great school and we miss not seeing our friends as often as we used to BUT we LOVE having Aunty C, Uncle D and cousin Z living so close (they live in the basement suite here). And we love seeing Uncle J, Aunty A and Grandma F as often as we have since we moved. Uncle J and Aunty A live about 3 minutes away from us. We have so much more space here! We have a huge backyard for the kids complete with a swingset and a trampoline. The kids just love being outside and want to be out there all the time.

Liam-

I can't believe that my baby is 4 years old already!! He is such a sweet little boy, always wanting hugs and kisses. He constantly has us laughing from the things he says to us. He has come so far this past year with his speech. He loves holding, playing with and talking to his baby brother. He loves riding his bike. His favorite color is RED. He loves to play with his cars and his action figures (Spiderman & Batman)

Kylie-

What a fireball! There is never a time you won't find her running and jumping around. She loves playing with her babies and her barbies. She has the curliest hair and the blue-est eyes. She is a great big sister, always getting stuff for Jackson. She talks up a storm. She is almost potty trained, hopefully in the next couple of weeks we'll have it all done and when she does she gets to go pick out a new princess Barbie.

Jackson-

He has a killer smile! Such a mommy's boy. He can roll like crazy all over the living room, he just started sitting up! He's a little guy- weighing in at 14lbs 9oz at 7 1/2 months. We've been having a hard time getting him to gain weight. At 4 months he was 14lbs 3oz, it took 2 months and at 6 months we finally got him up to 15 lbs. About a month ago he got really sick and was hospitalized due to dehydration and they caught the beginning signs of pnemonia. His weight dropped down to 14lb 6oz at 6 1/2 months and then when we weighed him a few days ago he was 14lbs 9oz. They aren't worried about him because he is so active, looks healthy and is happy. He doesn't sleep great at night, he usually gets up 2-3 times and wants to eat. I'm tired...alot, but I love him so much that I still get up with him.
