Lots of pictures

Okay, its been a while. Again. I just get so caught up in everything going on in my life, that this blog has taken a backseat. To all of my loyal readers, (all three of you): You are the wind that keeps this cyber-ship sailing. You are the love that keeps the world turning. Were it not for you, and all four comments that I have received (...two being from the same person...) then this blog would probably cease to exist. So a special thank you to you bloggies out there. This post is for you!

Now, there are, as I named this segment, lots of pictures! So, we start with some cute pics of the kids, then we move into pics from our recent vacation to the coast. We will go to the beach again in a couple weeks, so there are more cute swimsuit pictures to come. So for now, just sit back with your mouse and scroll away!

Camden: What are these yellow things? Kensi: I dont know, but don't eat it.

I'm so excited about...something!Uh-oh! My flower's broken!
What are all these flowers at Grammy & PawPaw's house?

She is still trying to figure out what to do with that frisbee...

Family shot. This is as far as I go in the ocean. Have I seen too many movies? Probably.

The Hubby's 33!

Well, the hubby had his 33rd birthday on Monday. We had a small family party for him on Saturday. What fun we had! We grilled out burgers & dogs and had lots of yummy stuff with it. And I made him the most delicious cake; The recipe is top secret. I got it through the black market. Didn't know there was an underground market for cake recipes, did you? Well there is. It's a very dangerous activity to get mixed up in. Actually, I had better not say anymore about it. I've already said too much and have now put you all at risk. Now listen: If anyone asks you, you don't know anything!!

There are only a few pictures of this illegal cake activity that actually exist.

It's a good thing the evidence has been destroyed. It didn't take long!

Here is a random picture from the Hubby's party. I just love how sweet he is with our daughter!

After the party, we took the kids in the backyard to play. They had a blast! Camden doesn't like the grass; When he would fall he would whine and try to stand up. But, he tried to stand up without touching the grass. It was hilarious! Kensington just ran all over the place and shrieked with delight. They are such sweet kids! Here are a few pictures:

She has to coordinate everything!

Chase me Daddy! Watch how fast I can run!

I don't know what this is but I am going to run with it!

Go long....

She is so thirsty after playing in the sun.

They love to drink from a straw!

Family shot. Happy Birthday to the most wonderful husband I could have ever DREAMED of!

Awwww...that is too cute!

Lets catch up, shall we?

Okay, I know it's been a while. Don't be mad. I have received literally thousands of letters and emails from all of my readers demanding new posts. Actually it is more like my mom; She has demanded new posts. But she really doesn't care much about the posts themselves; It's all about the pictures of the grand babies. Well, put away the Kleenex mom, as there are lots of pictures below. There is much to catch up on, so we will jump right in. Why do I have the cutest kids? Maybe because I married such a handsome hunk of man with a faultless gene pool? Perhaps that has something to do with it. So, we will begin with pictures of the offspring of myself, and the wonderful man I refer to as: The Hubby.

This shirt just seemed fitting for some reason. (No pun intended; get it? fitting? ha!)

He is the sweetest in his new little outfit.

Have I ever mentioned how much juice these kids can drink? They must be part camel!

Yes, she is the aggressive one; But he can hold his own!

Our next set of photos will be of our recent trip to Nashville. We had so much fun visiting old friends and getting over the shingles. Yeah, that's another story though. We did not take the kids, so that was a nice little break. We missed them so much. Anyway, the purpose of the trip was for the Hubby to catch up with some old college buddies and play some ultimate Frisbee and just have a great time. Here are some of our pictures:

The Hubby with his 'bro's; his boys; the posse. (whatever)

Group shot. And this isn't even half the kids!

And wrapping things up, our last set of photos will be cute shots of the kids. I hope you enjoy this last set. I will try not to go so long between posts. I did have a small case of shingles, which prevented me somewhat from doing little day to day activities. But, they are quickly fading away and I am feeling much better! The Hubby's birthday is coming up and we are planning a cookout for him on Saturday. More great pictures to come!

Sometimes its hard to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time!

More cute outfits!

Kensi! Leave me alone! Mom, make her stop!

The best niece and nephew on the planet: Trent and Haley.

They are so great with Kensi & Camden and take very good care of them! We all love you so much Trent & Haley!

Temptations of a one year old

There are many temptations common to the one year old. The temptation to climb the stairs, get in the fireplace, open drawers, and eat cat food to name a few. (because it looks and smells so good don't we all want to eat it?) But for Kensi & Camden, their biggest temptation seems to be a table of picture frames. They just want to play with them so bad! We go through this at least 10-15 times a DAY, people. They have wonderful baby toys to play with. Why do they want to play with picture frames? They don't play songs or have lights; I just don't get it. Maybe its the allure of the forbidden? Well, the consequences of the unacceptable will unmistakeably be the proper deterrent. Even as I'm typing this, Kensi just grabbed my bottle of water and spilled it on the floor and on her head, no less. Well, they are learning. And so am I! But they are the sweetest and most wonderful children ever. We love them so dearly!

Caught ya!
I wasn't touching it Mom! But I wasn't!
The sweetest babies ever!

Talking in his sleep....

The hubby talks in his sleep quite frequently. At random times I will be awakened in the night with him standing in a corner of the room trying to open a door, (which doesn't exist) or he will start saying really bizarre things that make no sense. This seems to happen more when he has been doing something mentally labor intensive; When his brain is 'full' for lack of better phrasing; Then, it seems to spill out at night. The hubby just got back from Atlanta where he was in a series of rather intense business meetings. It's the final quarter for his business, so he has a lot on his mind. That said, here is what happened last night. I am sleeping so good on my little side of the bed. The room is cool and the covers are warm and I am oblivious to anything going on outside of, well, me. All of a sudden, the covers come ripping off and the hubby is leaning over me saying, "Who is it? Who's there? What is it?" I can barely comprehend what is going on. Then again he asks me, "Who is that? Who are you?" As I grab the covers and pull them back up I mumble "its me!" He doesn't understand and keeps asking me. I say it one more time, "it's me!!!" and roll over to go back to sleep. He talks a few seconds more and seemed to be satisfied with my answer. This morning when I ask him about it, he vaguely recollects the episode. Oh well. I am sure this will happen again. Probably tonight. If he asks me who I am again, I am going to say Big Bird and see what he does.
