Kaders and Cakes
Because most of you who view this blog, don't see us very often, I thought you may want to see how little Kaders is growing. When he's just out of the tub his curls are intact, (or when Anna thinks he needs lotion in his hair). This one of him in the white shows a little curl on top. And as you can see he is generously loved by his sweet sisters. He has broken a couple of teeth this past month, crawling all over and yesterday even climbed his first stair. These nine months have flown by much too fast. He is a sweetie and very good natured. We all just adore him.
Lauren has been loving the cake decorating videos on YouTube. Little did she know that Aunt Jenny recently sent her a cake pan for four princess dresses. So we had a little fun.
Where does it hurt?
3/14/05 Lauren's cough continues, and after her heartbreaking cries of, "I don't like my cough." I asked her where it hurt, thinking it could be either her throat or her chest. She said, "Right here." Then mouth wide open she pointed to her throat with her entire hand in her mouth and her finger at the back until she gagged.
2/19/08 This morning, we are eating breakfast when J interrupts the brief silence with a small basement burp. Without missing a beat, Lauren says, "What do you say, Daddy?" He excuses himself, then still in her motherly tone adds, "We don't fart at the table do we?"
Junk Food
9/16/08 Yesterday Lauren learned the difference between junk food and healthy food. So this morning, when she saw Rissie with a piece of candy, she said, "Mom, can I please have some junk food?"
2/9/08 Today Lauren asked me to redo her hair because it was "falling off!"
Cookie Dough
L: (in her sweetest voice) "Mom, can I have some cookie dough please?"
M: "Sure."
L: "Well," pause, "do you think you can get it from the fridge so I can like it?"
4/20/2008 So Lauren got some gum (not a fan) for being a good girl. Later, Jon asked her if she had swallowed it. She said, "No." Then he asked if she threw it away. She said, "No." So he asked her where it was, she told him it was in her throat.
L. and R. have been singing and dancing to their new piano that plays fun tunes. L. has been learning them and singing them around the house. A few days ago I overheard her sining, "Mary had a little sheep, little sheep, little sheep,...
Finding the Moon
Lauren shouts, "Grandma, there is the moon!" She started singing Twinkle Little Star, but in the mean time we had turned the corner and she soon discovered it was gone. So she tells Grandma, "We need to find another moon." 01/13/08
Kids are the best source of laughter
- I was getting dressed and L happened to be there and as I reached for my br_ she asked, "Mom, you put your b__bs on?"12/07
- R had gotten in trouble for something, then after some reflection L said matter of factly, "Well, she's learning."12/07
- L just told Jon to look at her stomach then lifted her arm, pulled down her sleeve, and showed him her armpit.12/07

Your family is growing up and I feel like I am missing out--thanks for updating the blog so that I at least will recognize you guys the next time I see you in person :)
I feel like it has been forever!
We will be in Vegas for the holidays...do you guys have any plans to travel?
I love ya!
That little Kade fits right in with the Jenkins Look! I love it. Everyone one of your kids is different, but definately part of the mold. I love his curls.
That smile on Anne while holding the cake is precious. (did you know Lauren called me this morning just before Richard went in for his surgery. She got to wish him good luck. It was so cute. Tell her I want her to call me and we'll get online.)
I love these pictures. I have missed you guys while you were in OK. What would we do without computers? :)
Your kids are so cute! What a fun family you have. I am sure that you stay so busy, but well worth it because they all look so happy and healthy and fun!! Hope that you all got to have a great holiday season:) Love you!
