Blake's actual 2nd birthday (party and cake pics to come later)

Blake turned 2 on October 21st. His party is on October 31st along with 2 other boys that are turning 2! It is going to be fun. But we couldn't resist making a birthday dinner and letting him open the presents we had for him. We had a great night. He is so precious and so 100% boy it has been a wonderful 2 years with him in our lives!

Crystal Clear

McKenna finished out her week of breathing treatments, but not without mommy having to get creative. My friend Danielle told me to let her put stickers on her machine and have her dolls get breathing treatments. That was genius after the novelty wore off. At her follow up visit Wednesday Dr. Dones said her lungs were crystal clear! PTL for a good report!

Time for a post

I can't believe I haven't posted all week. It has been a crazy week. We are tiling the house this weekend so we have been gearing up for that by packing things away this week. Also, just being on facebook helps me keep up with my friends so well and pictures are so much easier to put up that the blog has sort of taken a back seat. But I love keeping it up because it is like my online scrapbook! I have a few posts to get up so here is my first! This is from last Sunday... One of the most challenging things on Sunday is keeping up with everyone's stuff! at the end of service Here is a pic from the PK campus at the end of the night!

Nice cool morning. Homestead campus.

Blake having fun

Ritz hosting

Chris hosting... had he been on FACEBOOK he could have seen these on Monday when I posted them. I even thought about holding them hostage on Facebook, but I'm not mean.

Blake in boots

My brother leaves for boot camp...

Kevin's blog is back up again (it was down for a while). He leaves October 19th for boot camp at Paris Island. He is joining the marine reserves. Here is his post, "The Real Heros In Our Country"

I love you Brittany and will be praying for you! We will miss you Kevin!

A (n almost) perfect Friday night

Travis is the chaplain for Coral Shores High football team. He loves it. I love it for him. So most Friday nights he can be found under Friday night lights. That leaves me with the kids and I have rediscovered the joys of realizing everyone can relax on Saturday morning. Kourtney reminds me all night that she gets to sleep in on Saturdays.

So I decided I wanted to make tonight fun. I told the girls it was girls night. That we were going to put Blake to bed and stay up late together. We went to K-Mart (I keep K-Mart in Key Largo in business) and shopped for some things to do. We got chocolate, fake little girl nails, and a craft project. I ordered a pizza while standing in line at K-Mart and we picked it up on the way home. I let the kids each get a big bottle of Sprite (they thought that was so cool)

We did a candy hunt (like an easter egg hunt)

It was so cute when it was time to put Blake to bed. The girls acted like it was some big secret like we were tricking Blake into thinking they were going to sleep too. So they crawled in bed and waved goodnight to Blake. Then we moved on to girlie things. We put fake nails on. Kourtney took hers off before bed tonight, but McKenna kept them on. I hope she doesn't wake up in the night to tell me to take them off.

We painted hangy window things.

The only thing that would have been more perfect about tonight would have been if Travis were home. But I will settle for a perfectly relaxing night with my kiddos. They are growing way too fast and I want time to freeze. Since it won't I will try to capture every moment I can.
