Cousins at war!

It never fails! You put Kenadee and Corey in the same room, they will be fighting in a matter of minutes. Yet they get excited to see one another. Go figure. I just couldn't resist taking some pictures of these two. I got to watch Kenadee for 15-20 minutes the other day. I got my camera ready. I didn't encourage this, I just knew it was going to happen. So here is the love they share for one another. Usually there is some hitting and pushing going on, but these will have to do.



Fighting over the same toy!
Kenadee pulling Corey's shirt trying to get the toy.

This is what happens when Corey and Kenadee play together. Someone wants something and they want it now, someone has to tease someone, and then they begin to hit and push until someone starts to cry.

They end up in time out! This time just happened to be Kendaee's turn. Sorry Ken.

Then they hug and make up.

But this sweet moment only lasts for about......... a moment. what can you do?

What was I thinking??????

Just before Christmas I walked into "The Village Christmas Shoppe". My two older sons were at school, leaving me with my two little ones, Corey (who is a BOY) and Rylee ( who is a girl). For those of you who don't know, "The Village Christmas Shoppe" has lots of breakables including dept. 56. You know the expensive little figures and villages. I know! The fact that there are breakables in the store should have made me think twice, but I didn't. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I carried Rylee into the store in her car seat while Corey walked. I didn't have my stroller with me. I know, I know! Another big clue to stay out of the store, but I didn't. So in I go, and in goes Corey, my BOY! What was I thinking? I don't know if all boys are the same, but my three boys are, and by the third boy I should know better than to bring one of my boys into a store such as this one. But I did and now I own this! A broken dept.56 figure. I am happy to say that I didn't get mad at him. I just sighed as he gave me his cute little smile. That smile reminded me that he didn't even know what he had done. He loves cars and when he saw this car he just had to play with it. He was trying to show me the "cool car", as he called it, when it slipped out of his hand and hit the ground. So from now on, I go alone! Which means almost NEVER, because when am I ever alone. Oh, umm, NEVER! P.S. I am not bitter! Just a mom living a CRAZY life. Which in some crazy way I love.

6 months old!

So Ry loves to sit up while she takes her bath. I just love her rolls. When she was born she was so stinkin small and now she has these cute chunky legs, bummy, arms, tummy, neck and back. This is the only time chunky is cute. This piture makes me want to go and kiss her, but she is asleep right now so I won't go and kiss her.

My poor baby with an ear infection and a nasty cold, that she got from her brothers. Thank you brothers.

The princess on her king size bed. Not really, she has a crib. She is loved but not spoiled. Well, maybe a little, but only for now.

Christmas Vacation! And lots of SNOW!

Boyd and Dallin with their cousins Neal and Miller. Playing in snow out infront of ou place. Dallin. Life is so much fun for this kid.

My cutie pie Corey!

CRAZY Uncle Matt riding the motorcycle in the snow.

Emma ( a good friend of the family) and Dallin being cute while making our christmas cookie house.

The 3 monkey boys.

Rylee with our good friend Josh. Rylee is wearing her new flower from Maile and Josh. This flower is a Maile Special! Thanks, I love it.

Corey in the back, Me, Chey, a friend of Chey's, and Miller. This was a greqt day. We found a great place right near my parents house to go sledding. We went for a while. I am loving the snow this year more than I thought I would. I must be getting used to it.

Cousin Chey, Dallin and cousin Miller getting ready to go down the hill.

Cousin Ren, Boyd and Me. Boyd and Ren looked like they were having so much fun. We never had to help Boyd at all with sledding this year. It was really nice. I like having them get older so I can play with them and not just be mom all the time.

Uncle Dave, Cousin Kenadee and Aunt Brittnee. Brittnee didnt go sledding once. Chicken!!! Just kidding. She cant she is pregnant!

Corey being cute again. He had a lot of fun sledding this year. The last time he went sledding was 2 years ago and he didnt enjoy it very much. This time he was going like crazy. He even went on his own.

My baby Rylee with her cousin Bear. They look like they have no idea what the heck is going on. Or maybe they are scared of the loud family they have been born into?

Rylee with her Cousin Kenadee.

Rylee was giving Ken kisses. She kept doing it over and over again. She has only really done that for her Grandma Nikki and sweet Cousin Ken.
