Much to our shock and delight, we discovered that our family of 4 children was going to grow by 1 more. Now our family is complete. Our blessings are too numerous to count.

I am "IN CHARGE"
We are in so much trouble when Kira gets older. She is already a schemer and a planner. She knows what she wants and figures out how to get it. One day, we were going to Mason's basketball game. On our way there, Kira asked if "her Kim" was going to be there. "Her Kim" is Kira's favorite person in the whole world. Whenever we have to leave Kim, Kira cries and cries. It is pretty pathetic. If I didn't know that Kira loved me, I might get a complex.
But back to the game.... On our way into the game, I told Kira that we weren't going to stay very long because we had to go watch Sissy play. She said "OK." We got to the game and watched for the first half. I told Kira we were leaving and she started to hide behind Kim. Kim started laughing and told me why. When we first got to the game, Kira climbed on Kim's lap and whispered "I not go to Sissy's game" several times to Kim. When Kim asked what Kira was going to do, Kira said "I go your house." (Guess where Kira went after the game)
I might not have realized how scheming Kira was except that this was not the first time. Kira was at Kim's house one night to play and Kim called and told me I had to come get Kira because she was not going to be mean and bring her home. Every time Kim suggested they get in the car, Kira would start crying. Kim even tried telling Kira that they were just going to come get Kira's blanket and Kira told Kim to go get it and Kira would wait with Kaulin. I went over there to pick her up. When I got there, Kira sat on Kim's lap and wouldn't come near me. When we talked about where she was going to sleep, Kira said she would sleep with Kim. Finally, I said I would be lonely without her and asked who would sleep with me. She said "Kaulin" (Kim's husband). Kira figured she was taking Kaulin's spot, so Kaulin could take her spot.
Her favorite thing to do when she is in trouble is tell everyone else that they are naughty and that they don't like her. She is excellent at turning on fake tears and fake crying when she doesn't get her way. Sometimes I have to turn away because I would laugh if I didn't. This shirt was inherited from Emily, but it is definitely true. It says "I may be little but I am definitely in charge" Colton took one look at that shirt and said we know that is true.

You are CHEESE!
At the San Diego Zoo, Kira decided that I (her mom) was a mommy tiger and she was a baby tiger. She made her cousin Adam a kitty and Mason a puppy. When Morgan asked what she was, Kira said, "you are cheese!"
After a lot of talking and convincing, Morgan became a panda bear.
Now everyone is an animal. She will call for her puppy and expect Mason to answer. Daddy is a Rhino, Kalin is a bear, and Colton is an elephant.
She doesn't forget what animal everyone is. And much to Cole's delight, she calls him cougar. He couldn't talk his mom and dad into changing his name, so he talked Kira into it.

New Year's Resolution

A story to tell..
A funny thing happened to me on the phone one day. My friend asked how I liked my new pets. I told her we didn't have new pets, but I heard she had some baby ducks. She told me that she thought my son bought some new pets too. I insisted that my son would never bring home any new pets. He didn't have permission and I was just in the garage and there was nothing there. She was pretty sure we had new pets. I again insisted that my son was busy with lacrosse and didn't have time to go to CalRanch with her delinquent son to buy new pets. She told me they went during an assembly at school. "Not my son", I insisted more strongly. We talked back and forth for about 10 minutes while I am insisting that we did not have new pets. I told her to have a great time with her little ducklings and forgot all about the conversation.
Until...........
I walked into my son's room two days later and hear a funny little noise.
"Cheep, cheep, cheep"
At first I thought the noise was coming from the balloons that were on the floor of my son's room. Both of my sons kept hitting the balloons all around, trying to cover up the sound.
"Cheep, cheep, cheep"
This time I followed the sound across the room to the other side of my son's bed. In a little box, with a heating pad, food, and water were my darling new pets. I guess I mean my not so darling son's new pets. (actually this happened in May)
At least they were cute for the picture and Cole, Emily and Kira thought they were cute too.
As a matter of fact, Emily kept insisting that we were going to giver her one of the chicks for her birthday. She even had the one she wanted all picked out.
I was nice to my sister and we took the chicks to live with the ducks at Old MacDonald's farm!!
Lacrosse...A Man's sport
Why on earth would anyone want to run around a field getting chased by people swinging sticks at their heads?This is the new sport in our house. Kalin is playing lacrosse and loving it. He plays midi which is a defender and a scorer. They run the entire length of the field. We have had a great time watching and learning. Kevin's favorite cheer is "hit them harder!!"


It is such a hard sport that they need to take a couch to relax on after the game.
