(now I know why my mom had me label so many food storage cans) I haven't made fresh wheat bread since before Adalyn was born -- pretty sad I know, but hit a sale before she was born and stocked the freezer. I decided it was time to get back in the habit -- so gave it a try while Mace was at preschool. Keston loved being the big helper and Sissy was so good to watch us and fall to sleep in her swing. Well, needless to say I didn't finish my three batches in time and Mace was pretty upset that he missed out on grinding the wheat -- so had to come up with a quick job....writing labels on the bags for the bread...that was perfect! Mace was so excited to use permanent markers and wrote each letter as I said them as I finished my last batch. Then he copied the letters to the next bags, this task got pretty monotonous quickly -- since after the second bag---he informed me he was only going to write one more. "This one I am going to use my decoration letters mom." Sure bud---what ever letters you want --- I just thought they were too cute, I love this big helper :)<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319460963064780130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SdKFj-wIlWI/AAAAAAAAA20/pKcgS0s68N4/s400/DSCN5111_edited.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">B R E A D</div>John and Kassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18203073965423001422noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163138999316684429.post-78621093941387058812009-03-24T08:46:00.005-07:002009-03-24T09:14:37.847-07:00Mace Loves Me!<div align="center">Yesterday the day began with both boys fighting over their sister -- who gets to hold her, choose her clothes, choose her bows, bath her, and make her smile are all daily competitions at our home. <strong>The boys just can not get enough of their sweet baby sissy!</strong> We had to take a picture of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Ady</span> in her first flower headband that Mace chose for her to wear. </div><div align="center">(Notice her shirt says, "Daddy Loves Me")<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316782587691632450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SckBmA9Xh0I/AAAAAAAAA18/G6SyMAOHhPU/s400/DSCN5080.JPG" border="0" /></div><p align="center"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Keston</span> was so proud of me when he saw her flower ... <strong>"Good job mom!

I ended up being up with her the entire night on Sunday and went to the Dr. early Monday morning to find she had an ear infection and we were almost admitted for RSV. Boy did I feel like a terrible mother, I just thought she got loved and held too much and was starting a cold! We got an antibiotic for the infection and scheduled daily visits to our Dr. to monitor her oxygen levels and temperature. She has been doing so much better and we are finally getting her real smiles back as of today!

I thought the newness would wear off by now, but they both light up when they see their sissy come into the room. Now that Adalyn is smiling, they fight over that too. If she gives one of them a smile and not the other -- they get all upset. She sure doesn't have to worry about a lack of attention in this home. I have loved watching the boys sing her songs and try and make her smile -- what a lucky little girl to have two big brothers who love her so much!<br /></div><div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SbAPvxdee7I/AAAAAAAAA0Q/a_Fklwh58AY/s1600-h/DSCN4871.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309761274075052978" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SbAPvxdee7I/AAAAAAAAA0Q/a_Fklwh58AY/s200/DSCN4871.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SbAPvbTOUSI/AAAAAAAAA0I/2q1Yxk-MFyo/s1600-h/DSCN4933.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309761268126470434" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SbAPvbTOUSI/AAAAAAAAA0I/2q1Yxk-MFyo/s200/DSCN4933.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>I can't forget to write about our first Dr. visit for Adalyn at her 2 week appointment. I took Keston with me and he immediately assumed the role of 'Big Brother' -- protecting his baby sissy. As the Dr. examined Adalyn, Keston got right up on the table too. As the Dr. checked Adalyn's ears, eyes, and such -- Keston would proudly say, "That her tummy, that her hand, etc." He was proud that he knew all about his sister. When it came time for pricking her foot for blood samples -- Keston was right in the nurses working space too. When Adalyn started crying -- Keston looked right at the nurse and said, "Her not like you! She likes my mommy!" The nurse smiled and proceeded to get Adalyn a bandaid and give her back to me --- Keston was so proud that the nurse got the right bandaid --"Yeah, her likes PINK! Good Job!"

But mommy loved them and it was hard for me to let him grow out of them...<br /><br />I have always trimmed his hair myself, but after one attempt and the kicking and screaming---I thought I would let someone else do it. Keston didn't say a word or move at all --- but his face is priceless...I don't think he really enjoyed his first real barber experience:)<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283035384661565266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ERq42S_UCr7o7FgETqDWOSMs5xJ-b7V0J3PCIrDB1J5dN0awdQSWdw7xUb6K_vSpOMLBzeWTeHOaUVO-pCVMR3K-i955kGvnDQ5IxZLqNAg742XcGHSvFREHrLwR2ohR4_z1JE1hiv-K/s320/DSCN4667.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283035391587524322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFLNE2zyLzQmnvF0pDvIC1y-Lg0NXYKdzwcy5orK-HbB7KjLr53cQewnQCbsVw2MAXMdUSODyDkdsd7KyvvYAJw8mAX0Z-eFePNH2ZG8wqudGmUfsNqtGSvRSUNpOJ2FOJkFkAFD9IVlYF/s320/DSCN4669.JPG" border="0" /> <div><div><div><div><br /><div>I warned the girl cutting his hair that I may start crying---but was suprised that I was fine with the whole thing.

(hopefully this will last for many years to come:))<br /><div><div><br /><div>I love this picture with them sticking their tongues out---totally captures how Keston looks up to his big brother and copies EVERTTHING he does. We have so many first day of school pictures since there is preschool orientation, the actual first day of preschool for Mace, and then Keston's first day of joy school that a few of us moms are rotating in the neighborhood. They both love going to school --- but the best part is when it is time to pick them up---they get so excited to see each other again. Definitely one of those happy Motherhood Moments!</div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Yju1ld4fz3pyDJJ6JBcb1XC0WH0eZX9MxgFdW9P6WtlaRQbPufmsf8AxdbzJCz3cvI5chMhiUHXW_cPTqEPb-pSYO4AghEcWULO5X0wp-8kNP0hva8HQyMc2vdjYxD0943OJvJexlW6x/s1600-h/DSCN4425.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243891247681491234" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Yju1ld4fz3pyDJJ6JBcb1XC0WH0eZX9MxgFdW9P6WtlaRQbPufmsf8AxdbzJCz3cvI5chMhiUHXW_cPTqEPb-pSYO4AghEcWULO5X0wp-8kNP0hva8HQyMc2vdjYxD0943OJvJexlW6x/s200/DSCN4425.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd3tVndaKky9Sf35zVAwGME90FRWXWjAItnyGzREOqyVZX4IRvyxXaFn1U25MawYW8p371mgMUNXkqkU28DCT4n59R8zaThfRxh-A7gfWi499fiXogi8xF-MAegTpYIintQKT_GzzX7lwQ/s1600-h/DSCN4429.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243891251669911938" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd3tVndaKky9Sf35zVAwGME90FRWXWjAItnyGzREOqyVZX4IRvyxXaFn1U25MawYW8p371mgMUNXkqkU28DCT4n59R8zaThfRxh-A7gfWi499fiXogi8xF-MAegTpYIintQKT_GzzX7lwQ/s200/DSCN4429.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SMYLUGw2JuI/AAAAAAAAAjo/qXvKWFg23Ro/s1600-h/DSCN4441.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243891256160298722" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SMYLUGw2JuI/AAAAAAAAAjo/qXvKWFg23Ro/s200/DSCN4441.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgj0WKkjdzRgsVc_MHuc1pi_suurUhhgqIVSxtqw_pGAPBtMct8ALL2KXfmlUp0DIx7UHsQ7D2eEc8DEs80bgtKiarfWGchDMSrhchz9kRtmgQWS9iBZd50gQS5sY7bSlmdML1Itf8NOOD/s1600-h/DSCN4442.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243891263811050802" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgj0WKkjdzRgsVc_MHuc1pi_suurUhhgqIVSxtqw_pGAPBtMct8ALL2KXfmlUp0DIx7UHsQ7D2eEc8DEs80bgtKiarfWGchDMSrhchz9kRtmgQWS9iBZd50gQS5sY7bSlmdML1Itf8NOOD/s200/DSCN4442.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SMYLU8OxjtI/AAAAAAAAAj4/hyW1QWA5-B4/s1600-h/DSCN4443.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243891270512905938" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SMYLU8OxjtI/AAAAAAAAAj4/hyW1QWA5-B4/s200/DSCN4443.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SMYMAvwqn1I/AAAAAAAAAkA/OPaqtwPjiTs/s1600-h/DSCN4444.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243892023079640914" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SMYMAvwqn1I/AAAAAAAAAkA/OPaqtwPjiTs/s200/DSCN4444.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div></div></div></div>John and Kassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18203073965423001422noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163138999316684429.post-35969093181049357542008-09-08T22:17:00.004-07:002008-09-08T22:23:33.317-07:00Enjoying the final days of Summer!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SMYH7sG0JRI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/1xt4IZHr8BI/s1600-h/DSCN4416.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243887538152940818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SMYH7sG0JRI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/1xt4IZHr8BI/s400/DSCN4416.JPG" border="0" /></a> It is a good thing they are cute!

I have finally finished my 12 designs for the year in the 5x20 size and I definitely couldn't have done it with out my neices---thank you AuBrey and McKayla for all your help watching the boys and last minute stitching and chalking help to get the store samples out. These are my last designs with Cedarberry and I am so excited to begin our new venture as HEART 2 HEART STITCHES! The site is still a work in progress. It has been a great learning experience for me with Cedarberry and I am just excited to be on my own time frame and schedule. That will work best being a mommy:) Happy Stitching to everyone!John and Kassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18203073965423001422noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163138999316684429.post-27945776873114274582008-08-13T06:19:00.004-07:002008-08-13T06:46:40.620-07:00Back 2 School BBQ!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SKLhwlbaRzI/AAAAAAAAAfo/NxiIUr3eEpQ/s1600-h/DSCN4348.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SKLhwlbaRzI/AAAAAAAAAfo/NxiIUr3eEpQ/s320/DSCN4348.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233993941754988338" /></a><br />We thought this would be a fun tradition to start with all of our nieces and nephews that are here in Utah---so this is with my family and I have yet to get John's scheduled (I won't make it by the time they are back in school). We had the kids come dressed in their favorite back to school outfit and played school time bingo to win prizes they could use in school---and then of course had tons of food! We had so much food that we called John's three brothers that live here to come and help with the left overs! So fun and the best surprise ever was that Grandma Susie and Papa Dave took a big drive to get here just for dinner! The kids were so excited---thanks for the surprise mom and dad----I guess they will come if we send cute invites:) Here are some pictures of our fun!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU-MeoZaZ_AzffSpDB4Rx_RpMNxsiLnUj_uCopPjaXBb4kWaBQA2SWge7p60F-ie6Coo5JOXLTHyRVuYTZLBoV8AFOZG5mSEUY4jV2iIIfu686MvpXS2DkEavgdB6eg8ngeLkE587sJClG/s1600-h/DSCN4349.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU-MeoZaZ_AzffSpDB4Rx_RpMNxsiLnUj_uCopPjaXBb4kWaBQA2SWge7p60F-ie6Coo5JOXLTHyRVuYTZLBoV8AFOZG5mSEUY4jV2iIIfu686MvpXS2DkEavgdB6eg8ngeLkE587sJClG/s320/DSCN4349.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233993948277386514" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfJ5gySLdJumtQMxw98Y1uhHVv0s1CIiLCeQ7rLxSuXG0d5-kMqshyesKTLlrjgK72oEATWPc81eiXm2pJvYjP8sM3xGHRjDH2sdrjvekEYXvAjNADUPp5w68AdSfB8q-WLQ4DEVSsAVwP/s1600-h/DSCN4350.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfJ5gySLdJumtQMxw98Y1uhHVv0s1CIiLCeQ7rLxSuXG0d5-kMqshyesKTLlrjgK72oEATWPc81eiXm2pJvYjP8sM3xGHRjDH2sdrjvekEYXvAjNADUPp5w68AdSfB8q-WLQ4DEVSsAVwP/s320/DSCN4350.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233993953437701714" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SKLhxjsqsVI/AAAAAAAAAgA/3LqkN-k7dOo/s1600-h/DSCN4352.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SKLhxjsqsVI/AAAAAAAAAgA/3LqkN-k7dOo/s320/DSCN4352.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233993958470365522" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SKLhyAspEaI/AAAAAAAAAgI/fNe2ZKVbjGw/s1600-h/DSCN4355.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SKLhyAspEaI/AAAAAAAAAgI/fNe2ZKVbjGw/s320/DSCN4355.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233993966254887330" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4BMetTMvPRqNlE-yz6on45vaM7aZGacxyCpUNYs1oh3KHV0T0kmRN2B_GMMKisJmRGUpYfATS7ADSN310oSIEijgzXZcvDYoQ6Cy6f9CVLzE5GzAWq_3tbwIZu-G-EutIm0JfiSZm0EtN/s1600-h/DSCN4359.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4BMetTMvPRqNlE-yz6on45vaM7aZGacxyCpUNYs1oh3KHV0T0kmRN2B_GMMKisJmRGUpYfATS7ADSN310oSIEijgzXZcvDYoQ6Cy6f9CVLzE5GzAWq_3tbwIZu-G-EutIm0JfiSZm0EtN/s320/DSCN4359.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233994715854877570" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmo2gfYdteupzzylNSCjYB5w-ovWnUgRTJn4eKb0qs9iBCuy0S7tRlYUcQTvQQwh6XzjWSQg4tIlHR7HYsRxsbW3hhBKySzme4AOHNhvi_XX5E_456HZS0Ii0US68ndI2PKGNKYApPYfJ8/s1600-h/DSCN4361.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmo2gfYdteupzzylNSCjYB5w-ovWnUgRTJn4eKb0qs9iBCuy0S7tRlYUcQTvQQwh6XzjWSQg4tIlHR7HYsRxsbW3hhBKySzme4AOHNhvi_XX5E_456HZS0Ii0US68ndI2PKGNKYApPYfJ8/s320/DSCN4361.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233994718052393234" /></a>John and Kassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18203073965423001422noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163138999316684429.post-76324122358951439372008-08-06T13:36:00.006-07:002008-08-06T13:58:21.174-07:00World's Best Daddy!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwxNBQGVNuRo8lfgNmxQawIgO3I2r7rTNB0324_mMP7eURTItm7IfDk8AkbY1KFnOZ19zhxoM022RSEYlrrwtD7lTSrrhWJJS1ouNo24MDxpjnCPv_5JLHJJDYQch0OyDE9Y0zwEgRgPk7/s1600-h/DSCN4296.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwxNBQGVNuRo8lfgNmxQawIgO3I2r7rTNB0324_mMP7eURTItm7IfDk8AkbY1KFnOZ19zhxoM022RSEYlrrwtD7lTSrrhWJJS1ouNo24MDxpjnCPv_5JLHJJDYQch0OyDE9Y0zwEgRgPk7/s320/DSCN4296.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231509859675863330" /></a><br />Once again this post is behind---just come to expect that from me:) John was able to go to the Father and Son's camp out with our ward on July 25th. He was just planning on taking Mace, since we thought two might be a little much to handle. When Keston's eyes filled with the biggest tears ever and he managed to say "I go camp out too!" ---He couldn't leave him behind! As we got them all packed up, I threw John the camera...just in case he had time to take some pictures. <br /><br />Well, he sure surprised me, since both boys came back in one piece and he even had tons of pictures of their adventures! Mace and Keston were so proud of how dirty they came home and we are still talking about the water and the huge tree and the food that was JUST FOR BOYS!<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoPDluP_aI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/5U-1Ylxshww/s1600-h/DSCN4311.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoPDluP_aI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/5U-1Ylxshww/s320/DSCN4311.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231510471484374434" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoOgV6wFgI/AAAAAAAAAe4/2evVnHHx6s4/s1600-h/DSCN4299.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoOgV6wFgI/AAAAAAAAAe4/2evVnHHx6s4/s320/DSCN4299.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231509865946420738" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoOgeIdt7I/AAAAAAAAAfA/12rCR0oZhIY/s1600-h/DSCN4306.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoOgeIdt7I/AAAAAAAAAfA/12rCR0oZhIY/s320/DSCN4306.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231509868151420850" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoOg7eP0nI/AAAAAAAAAfI/3sHIU5BwZD4/s1600-h/DSCN4308.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoOg7eP0nI/AAAAAAAAAfI/3sHIU5BwZD4/s320/DSCN4308.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231509876027413106" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoOgG0HGgI/AAAAAAAAAew/h4xPmfDkVN0/s1600-h/DSCN4298.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJoOgG0HGgI/AAAAAAAAAew/h4xPmfDkVN0/s320/DSCN4298.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231509861892037122" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjbr31FyQBz8VU2igYWWxDImW53-kHww1Mufv87DNyiziF-HzG9_AUOTDpAX2jtmgZbtXYCG7P-w0RzysncoCqtfpqQQjMKGQt8zTcJFrEF9hZ_-vCgDboTOaYRIS2ZH7dNamHBbPp7Lj_/s1600-h/DSCN4316.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjbr31FyQBz8VU2igYWWxDImW53-kHww1Mufv87DNyiziF-HzG9_AUOTDpAX2jtmgZbtXYCG7P-w0RzysncoCqtfpqQQjMKGQt8zTcJFrEF9hZ_-vCgDboTOaYRIS2ZH7dNamHBbPp7Lj_/s320/DSCN4316.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231510474579978962" /></a><br />The cool double rainbow we enjoyed after doing yardwork when the boys got home...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDUKiFmg6f4eN5UWomDzSQTSppypz9gHwm6T9q9Ri0pEPOweg6F5gp6q9g38y6EnXL0rsO-zmA-uP6Gi1NGt-hBw8TsH0obC9nwohgffPdUcvPY03BegN-iICWtx-OPKKl4iHN9UDIp2Xj/s1600-h/DSCN4317.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDUKiFmg6f4eN5UWomDzSQTSppypz9gHwm6T9q9Ri0pEPOweg6F5gp6q9g38y6EnXL0rsO-zmA-uP6Gi1NGt-hBw8TsH0obC9nwohgffPdUcvPY03BegN-iICWtx-OPKKl4iHN9UDIp2Xj/s320/DSCN4317.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231510476247845746" /></a><br />The following Sunday, John had to take the boys by himself, (which was his first time)----while I went to the Developmental Center with the YW. As I left at 7:30 in the morning---John said, "are you sure you can't take Keston?"---Nope was my reply. Anyway---he ended up to church 10 min. early in time for the soft seats! Wow, amazed again!<br /><br />Then the following Friday, he had the boys again while I spent the night at girls camp---and once again, when I came home they were all smiles and hardly missed their mom at all. So what does all this prove? I definitely need to leave the kids home with their amazing daddy more often:)John and Kassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18203073965423001422noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163138999316684429.post-84764215981233020862008-07-29T23:14:00.008-07:002008-12-08T20:53:09.034-07:00Hangin' with Mr. Kooper!Cousin Kooper, Keston, and Mace ... showing off their big muscles!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXqJgntGKNzggmeTIItNTxtC1Tz2Gbl9YchuzlZfmNJpVYsdmgJ-_13Kmb3apxiPO2CuIP1cjF0-JfcAjk8vlPfe9zOsnmpp1yBtfSSHuPSakXIZKR4eLPYxtIvIPK-bV6ij51aff8rpx/s1600-h/DSCN4291.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvXqJgntGKNzggmeTIItNTxtC1Tz2Gbl9YchuzlZfmNJpVYsdmgJ-_13Kmb3apxiPO2CuIP1cjF0-JfcAjk8vlPfe9zOsnmpp1yBtfSSHuPSakXIZKR4eLPYxtIvIPK-bV6ij51aff8rpx/s400/DSCN4291.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228688795549013410" /></a><br />Kooper is the proud big brother of the darling little, Kohl, in the below post.

Well, my brother Matthew (Bubba) and his wife Roxy had their little one on July, 17th -- weighing-in at a healthy 8 lbs. 15 oz.! Wow, what a trooper Roxy! The boys and I dashed to Idaho for a few days to welcome this little one into our family! Such a little doll and my pictures definitely do him no justice! I could have held him for hours --- just perfectly mellow and how can you resist those chunky cheeks! We love you KOHL McKELL!<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJAF7D8c_sI/AAAAAAAAAdo/0M_sgNlpnwU/s1600-h/DSCN4283.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_beazh9mVyes/SJAF7D8c_sI/AAAAAAAAAdo/0M_sgNlpnwU/s400/DSCN4283.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228685679606431426" /></a>John and Kassiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18203073965423001422noreply@blogger.com0
