Kids Playing

Sometimes I forget to stop and take pictures of the day to day things.  I know as years pass those are the days I will cherish the most.  Here is a night at the Waite's home.

I love my family and am grateful for the few slow moments in our lives, I can stop and realize just how blessed I am.

Twins 6 months old

My babies are getting so big.  I truly want them to stay little for a very long time.  I am in no hurry for them to grow up, but they are doing just that.  I can not believe they are already 6 months old. They are growing and learning new things everyday.

Jade (he was not happy without his thumb so we left it)

 

This is the first picture we took and it was the only truly happy one we got of them together.

 

This was towards the end and Jade was so over it.

 

I love being the mommy of twins!!!

Family Pictures 2012

Just the thought of trying to take family pictures gives me anxiety, but I thought if we were already going to be taking pictures of the kids on Thanksgiving, I might as well try to get some of the whole family as well.  At least the kids will have something to show for what our family looked like.  His sister took some on my camera so again nothing professional but they definitely show our kids personalities.

Waite Grandkids

We had no pictures of all the 9 grandkids on the Waite side, so we thought while we were all together over Thanksgiving weekend we should try to get one.  It actually wasn't that bad.  We only did it for about 10 minutes but we got some cute ones (nothing professionally but many that truly capture who each child is)

 

 



Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving this year was pretty low key...but those are always the best.  I don't remember exactly when but a few years back we stopped getting together with my side of the family for Thanksgiving.  It's not just my family but everyone just kind of started doing their own thing.  It is kind of sad but it does free up time for us to chill at home as a family and not be so rushed to get to so many places.

 

We hung out at home until noon then we headed to G Ma and Papa's house.  The kids spent the next few hours in the spa.  It was pretty nice outside and only in Vegas could you possible go swimming on Thanksgiving.

 

Then we ate a ton of food and then the kids dispersed and did their own thing with their cousins for the next couple of hours.

KK Thanksgiving Performance

KK's class put on a Thanksgiving performance at her school.  Of course, we were 5 minutes late cause Corbin had pooped in the bathtub, and the performance was over.  I had no idea the whole performance would only be 5 minutes.  KK saw us walk in as they literally were saying their last sentence.  She came up to me and buried her face in my stomach.  I could see it witten all over her face how sad she was that we had missed it.  She was so close to tears and I could see her fighting it. 

 

 Luckily for us her teacher is awesome and saw that we had missed it so she had them do the whole thing over again.  I was so grateful that day for her teacher.  Just another reason why I love her so much.

She did a great job and we are so proud of her and how well she is doing at school.

KK Field Trip

KK was so excited when we figured out a way for me to be able to come on her field trip.  I am to busy with the twins to help out in her class on a regular basis, and at first I didn't think it would work for me to come and help on her field trip but she was stocked when I told I had found a way.

 

Her field trip was at RedRock

 

Here is us on the bus waiting to leave

It looks like KK was the captain of this lizard

Corbin passed out

This is what happens on the days Corbins skips his naps.  He fell alseep with his mouth full of fries and with his hand still in the box.

 

 

This is another day on the way home from G Ma and Papa's.  I just thought it was so darn cute with his arms crossed.

 

He is officially in a booster seat now and it is really sad to me that he could possibly be that old.  I want to keep him little forever!

Twilights last Movie

It has been a tradition now to see the Twilight movies the night they come out.  There is a big group of us that have gone to every single one.  The first three were at the midnight showing of it but luckliy we have the hook ups and the last 2 were at the 8pm showing so we didn't have to stay awake and die the next day.  The last movie was the best from the whole saga...definitely a good way to end the whole thing. 

 

Here we are waiting for the movie to start...it is all three rows of us.

 

 

Trista, Me, Hollie, Nicole.

 

It is kind of sad having nothing to plan for but we will just have to start a new tradition.

KK's new Chore

I have found that if there is something that KK enjoys doing that I don't have the time to do everyday I can assign it to her.  She will remember to do it every single day and will do it without being asked.  One of her new assignments is to read to the twins for 15 minutes a day.  It it usually around bedtime.  She will read to one twin while I feed the other and then we will switch.  The twins love it and KK will do just about anything to make them happy.  She is truly the best big sister. 

 

Here is KK reading to Jade.
