Karis turned 4!!! Karis is Jay and Amanda's oldest child and a best friend to my kiddos! Kendall absolutely adores Karis . . . and I absolutely love that she has such a sweet friend to hang around with:) It has been an absolute blast getting back in touch with Amanda. . .we went awhile without seeing each other after college graduation. . . and so I am thankful for her friendship everyday.<br /><br />The party was a hit!! Karis is taking gymnastics at a local gym . . . so what better than a gymnastics party! The girls got to wear their favorite leotard and did many fun things around the gym. They did flips, played on the bars, & jumped on a trampoline:) It was a fun day.<br /><br />We want Karis to know what a great little"princess" she is and that we are very thankful for her and her friendship!! And on this day . . . her 4th birthday . . . we give God many thanks for allowing our family to blessed by her in many ways! We love you Karis! We hope you had a fabulous 4th birthday!!!<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253494898025961154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLL91-EPRHAyA90-gXoaUp1G7bgDS14nzsvVojcT1lBYKYslj_cO9Sk-p9DmgSszCJfSbRI76AAY-fZZ5Z-I06j1xGtyR33XEU1XfAYZHjAx_CWpaWzAQd9A1extnH5d2vVmFt-2qFygSy/s400/PA040024.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div align="center">Karis's cake . . . it says "Happy Birthday Princess Karis!"</div><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253494903775131698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK8HXl70RkhBorSxPnVrYX_XhRcJwc5KssSpz6WqCKpGKbOHj-YUVcsHQrcEAN2Cy05YM6pVKFh1RENaTYaSp9B5mf7hQkbhq0uKDvFeoH80Yt40VH8Rz-58zy3ZMdOrdrmcYvmhpLoapU/s400/PA040036.JPG" border="0" /> The birthday girl!!!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtDcaie3tSO3-X9h4M37EL5QJPGctbbXZ5kG_Ml5MH0q_uN9MPOucNceoMVLljWVqNkHVLEvbKqg2CTGS1uWJvEGoZEE7TRyly5s25BJfqujicQwEg9943u6EcvDTK2rGT9qpE1jv1YcLh/s1600-h/PA040038.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253495144297780418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtDcaie3tSO3-X9h4M37EL5QJPGctbbXZ5kG_Ml5MH0q_uN9MPOucNceoMVLljWVqNkHVLEvbKqg2CTGS1uWJvEGoZEE7TRyly5s25BJfqujicQwEg9943u6EcvDTK2rGT9qpE1jv1YcLh/s400/PA040038.JPG" border="0" /></a> Kendall and Karis!</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253495142735191138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiBoALs-pVrKa6WFDjM_yy9ZHHDTqf_6YbIV5-hbwreBGlZK0c0LpuKfN-9czuVIHwKL9EqPFyW9ecnL6zkl8ncKXNOOK72d54lOmJLZxpC6XQIX-UWNdRICACiFcLrJ1w3RWeUa2GpoiK/s400/PA040037.JPG" border="0" />Baby Jack!</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253494894542817426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8EvUQf4PDiF10gfbQGZ5WTwUgE2V0jytjug99IZA7hyxwcB-1267TpyH0ps73HrSzSxA8IjW7-RG7k5e7WY96HxoW7yCmjtaul9F24f47-dN6Oov-Nl2znGQjo0duUzlHyJpw-5BntLYA/s400/PA040021.JPG" border="0" />Karis and Mari- Morgan on the bars!</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253494893193199970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2K7364ehG5xVRiN31-mI9q9Xn_HIGlArvj7VwkmTRn1xGUVNN39CchdBfyKDbIF4tEkdnyz7jUUoYHYAwvG5GNkm4F4rkVN-_lr5iG_vsOFeQ9TF6ts-tQChkybs3M9WngWoSH0e1MxoI/s400/PA040022.JPG" border="0" /> </p><p align="center">Kendall and Hannah on the bars!</p><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253494052344968962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvv3Oa0dhmG3_mNhYt4tGAbiUZlHc81ZqGS-zdKwCHvawhBpWTR7sF-1IM48JfQA7Y4jI0F38cOH7R7A-Pu9gbr0xN5-jhQIAwwg22WcJfluYtFOWsTWX2vPqW0ldgGBSjOISoXKaupPgB/s400/PA040016.JPG" border="0" /> </div><div align="center">Some of the fun activities!<br /><br /></div><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253494054818166338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HK58Wo2B6RLE8oOjgpBlMilRVL57FjS5UfhzfKeqDrN3r3f7xHusMBVQ1EpBgvXCYwsTkdyLQFtsQIdBWZ5UDxPz6rXPYWQ3PiER3VX3dHWeSTj78rTlWWqr6yqp5w_trNb_8qiO3qQD/s400/PA040017.JPG" border="0" /> </p><p align="center">Kendall was checking it out!</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253494890386074994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVPf54IBlZyf82-21TcZsaCTZzGp8gLBVdKuzO-EYWbODZnaC5ChLbIF9SLdl2GGM0EVZ6UZ60i9paxif6XA4NZQt6RCjVQXzht7FSOteAQkdocVdaEirj0f70huNpUL4jU3qbtG6xVqcx/s400/PA040019.JPG" border="0" /> </p><p align="center">I have no idea what Kendall is doing here!

Since the kids are only 4 yrs old . . . and have to ride in some form of safety apparatus (parent's choice). . . they request that as many parents go as possible. I worked it out for a great friend (Amanda- you rock) to keep Kendall and Jack for the morning so I could take Drew and a few of his classmates to the Botanic Gardens. Anay and Gracie . . two of Drew's classmates and fellow soccer team members . . . rode with us there! We had a great time. In the car we watched Dora the Explorer . . . . it definitely was a change from 3 kids- 4 and under to today having 3kids- all of them 4! I guess this is what it would have felt like to have triplets! The kids were great and we had a great day! </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left">We started off the moning with a trip to the "Jungle"! It was a green house full of plants that grow in the jungle! Some pretty cool plants grow there, so the kids were pretty excited! We saw a banana tree, a rubber tree plant, a chocolate tree, a coconut tree, and ginger plants! After our trip through the jungle, we went to a taste center. This is where the kids got to taste some of the things that are made from the "plants of the jungle"! The kids are learning about the 5 senses . . . so this was a great learning experience for them. I think the tasting was the favorite of the 5 senses used . . . they tried coconut, ate ginger snaps, had dried banana chips, and inhaled the chocolate m&m's!!! For a buch of 4 yr olds. . .they were pretty interested! Next we went to a planting center . . . and each kid got to plant their very own spider plant! Each child decorated their own pot, put the plant inside, filled it with dirt, and wrapped it in a bag and bow! Our last stop was a place where the kids made a craft! They each made a different mask of an animal that lived in the jungle! Drew and Gracie were tree frogs, and Anay was a lion! So far so good for the trip to the Botanic Gardens . . . last we took a small tour of some of the grounds . . . we went to see the Japanese Coi Fish. . .they were absolutely huge!! We walked right up beside the water to look at them . . . I am amazed we were not fishing 4 yr olds out of the water. . . but the kids did very well. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left">The trip was a success! I think everyone had a blast. It was short and sweet and perfect for 90- 4 year old little kids! I had a great time too! Thanks again Amanda for making it possible for me to enjoy a day with Drew!!! </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtuOIZIsjopDcMc-Im2QklOjP4Jwhdnhc2lbt5Nls9OhbM6S2x4ewKTNM4ftWFHUxPPdMg8Cv-iJy5LYRsHNhd0Is384FO5627L3AqmkYOYf3pmHDOyApdG2IFUELv1DfDOGj7Qr-B0Zti/s1600-h/P9250036.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252021508046531138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtuOIZIsjopDcMc-Im2QklOjP4Jwhdnhc2lbt5Nls9OhbM6S2x4ewKTNM4ftWFHUxPPdMg8Cv-iJy5LYRsHNhd0Is384FO5627L3AqmkYOYf3pmHDOyApdG2IFUELv1DfDOGj7Qr-B0Zti/s400/P9250036.JPG" border="0" /></a> Drew, Anay, and Gracie!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOq7Yw3qo8JPT1BTcRG-s6KtlSQgVtxD7feuMQ4JVcsxKrAPPLXpl80_S6AX1lLStGoN4JGtcCsDFa3-NmvxQpqF3e1hLjTqFQGUvmxD6ppsAYO4pMZNwFXLquqI1GM86h9AkBXGOUxhaH/s1600-h/P9250039.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252021512777181282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOq7Yw3qo8JPT1BTcRG-s6KtlSQgVtxD7feuMQ4JVcsxKrAPPLXpl80_S6AX1lLStGoN4JGtcCsDFa3-NmvxQpqF3e1hLjTqFQGUvmxD6ppsAYO4pMZNwFXLquqI1GM86h9AkBXGOUxhaH/s400/P9250039.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>Anay, Drew, Maci, Ella and Ella's dad!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252026709744848210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikxMzYhou67PbVdZDcRhLL_onNV07q3bF94fftKapti6IrE_cBnp9ctal55FsCJgXHtKSmu3WJXZDTDVQ5gxZn3HJdspXi4oruE9gzDCmoAIrEYbTkm6Nxzr4hcMPnujbrWE3j9fp5sS-h/s400/P9250042.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">Drew was brave and tried the coconut!

Nelson and Sophie! We have had both of them since before the kids arrived. They are used to royal treatment . . . especially when it comes to where they sleep. They both used to sleep in the bed with us, and would have it no other way . . . but now they prefer somewhere else nice and cozy. They both love anything soft . . . and usually love to be covered up . . . especially Sophie. The latest favorite of theirs has been a kid chair that belongs to Drew. The kids had moved it into the kitchen one day playing with it, and now it is the FAVORITE seat in the house!!! (for the dogs anyway) I love to watch the dogs when they are fighting over who gets to sit in it . . . if one gets up for any reason . . . the other one darts to it and steals their place . . . this goes on ALL day! Too funny!!! I have to say . . . as you can tell from the pictures . . . Nelson usually wins!!! I think he really loves the chair a little more than Sophie, but he is also less likely to get up any reason!!! I guess that is why he slightly resembles a tootsie roll!

He plays for his school . . . SBEC . . . but they also allow members of Broadway Baptist (the church that the school is attached to) to play as well:) Drew has 6 other kids on his team . . . for a toal of 7 - all of them 4 years old! There are 3 little girls (Gracie, Shayla, and Rachel) and there are 4 boys (Drew, Troy, Brandon, and Anay.) Mr. Scott (Troy's dad) is the assistant coach and Laurie (Gracie's mom) is the coach!!!<br />He was sooo excited when he woke up this morning. . . he was ready to play in his soccer game! His game was at 11:00 . . . it was my turn to bring snacks and drinks today so we had to get alot of stuff together before heading out to the school. The game was so much fun to watch and the kids had alot of fun! You can only imagine what a 4 year old soccer game looks like, but we are not all that bad. We did end up scoring 5 or so goals (we don't keep score), but we all know that the other team only scored 1 goal . . . so I guess that means Drew's team won their 1st soccer game. WOOHOO!!!! Way to go Tigers!!!<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248301781270838498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_UdrNfu5va6bMNEJ0M93g1ah97pQnJwvi7FgrbT860ZOd7Wyiwe90LEPxlDfmRcvTvAtAVlqpSEC0eqX6ZrkJsrSnwxQZIhS1KkLOd1TaKCUPGyPcyMDIbHkLCpEhtnUlOMr8uiFtVKjB/s400/P9130001.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">Drew before the big game!</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248301784025504146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1HLVlRG1yoEjN-tuBZ0QZeGQsMY-S27CMKeWg5hwWZudpzHNxaLBQkHNImcT0LCoyJ-f1oOM9Rh8ACrw6mw0FWUkHUNbgUYySK1YBbePn6Fkqk-LKJGAOA7p2_H9DgJR1Jseruf_VYXc/s400/P9130006.JPG" border="0" /> Drew's team . . . minus Anay . . he was out of town!</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248301797741239330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg78EJrm6CyJrJeRbWb1q1NiIHNjE0IZYqWR6OwDEhYSvtSW5GgNhwfK04yUiJtU531tB70Jid8NFbMxdwUNnNMvga1ttVF7xoWRPnVfgV7Gcv0G_uQTV6MGXD7jeUmxxiMpC6JwBxh8Ug/s400/P9130008.JPG" border="0" /></p><blockquote></blockquote><p align="center">I don't know what Drew is doing here . . . but it </p><p align="center">looks serious.

Amanda works Monday- Tuesday- Wednesday . . . and is off on Thursday and Friday:) On Thursday, she is kepping another little girl . . .Mari-Morgan. Her mommy Paige and Amanda are good friends and work together . . . so they swap a day od childcare each week:) Thursday is a great day for a playdate because Kendall loves to play with Karis and Mari-Morgan, too! Today we dropped Drew off at school, miss you buddy, then headed out to Amanda's house. We got there about 9:45 and stayed til 4:00! It was a fun day and the kids had a blast! There was lots of dressing up, princess movie watching, and girly makebelieve. The girls have all been so tired lately, that we made after lunch rest time . . . they were still and watched a movie for a while . . . then just played quietly for a little while, too. Amanda made an awesome soup for us at lunch time . . . I will share her recipe later . . . YUM . . . and the kids ate their favorite . . . maccaroni! She also made us an Ooey- Gooey- Butter cake . . . which was divine!!! Thanks Amanda for the fun day . . .we look foward to next Thursday!!!</span><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmGhyhkzcPfvAm9nXxM2V2J0pxv5I_ecFDK6ivYy0_YRqc8CZeMhPwmKCvgFPrHz3STsM0_jvhhIPBDb292Pm76S21YrCaXYF3e6Hmp2fYGGwzbbsaptDibLPPDKS-uKb56HaxpMrivY57/s1600-h/P9110002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246289584821866274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmGhyhkzcPfvAm9nXxM2V2J0pxv5I_ecFDK6ivYy0_YRqc8CZeMhPwmKCvgFPrHz3STsM0_jvhhIPBDb292Pm76S21YrCaXYF3e6Hmp2fYGGwzbbsaptDibLPPDKS-uKb56HaxpMrivY57/s400/P9110002.JPG" border="0" /></a> <blockquote></blockquote><blockquote></blockquote>The 3 little princesses: Mari- Morgan, Karis, and Kendall!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246289611155494642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn78X5iuNqw_3WACDW9GkBD_nNT5GiRV1M3CEea85GIhuC3BK0YBBQBJCBDh6TE35E0gQoF8r1x4nJvTI0ILlHs3QnnwqqxM5g63G18cmcAi8xWQBa1vlAOf9cttI-y8reF_a-Na9B3E4l/s400/P9110001.JPG" border="0" />Karis and Mari- Morgan putting on their make-up!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicPPEDz31ML6Ujf64siB7uEvZFiw4AHAkYAft39s9LmFMjUQMgKoa20W-NSeLmKXWl1aRjYhJ3TOdpcIApipprtFFhXtk7cVFNtCL5J0ElE3lhUda-_vugPiOEROjHMgzkZ4l2TlPFV5xt/s1600-h/P9110004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246289589382776738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicPPEDz31ML6Ujf64siB7uEvZFiw4AHAkYAft39s9LmFMjUQMgKoa20W-NSeLmKXWl1aRjYhJ3TOdpcIApipprtFFhXtk7cVFNtCL5J0ElE3lhUda-_vugPiOEROjHMgzkZ4l2TlPFV5xt/s400/P9110004.JPG" border="0" /></a> Jack was content to play with a spoon!</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MlGWO2FuNcUuMUnbQWKs06Oh0Mti-xSYElvOeGU2B32T_nNF-pVt-X45W1sHmMdWJVw5_rKbwvw3cvNYiIR310WEvRscxUvSVe-Ne2DYofCCqYKjvl2lX53-hVfovaws9SgUlQYHuq9s/s1600-h/P9110006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246289597702329074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9MlGWO2FuNcUuMUnbQWKs06Oh0Mti-xSYElvOeGU2B32T_nNF-pVt-X45W1sHmMdWJVw5_rKbwvw3cvNYiIR310WEvRscxUvSVe-Ne2DYofCCqYKjvl2lX53-hVfovaws9SgUlQYHuq9s/s400/P9110006.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a></p><p align="center">Amanda and Brayden. . . too sweet! </p><p align="center">(and my sweet little Jack in the back)<br /></p>Rachel Morrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05257432237804911566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680733166581732184.post-42936032507471523682008-09-10T21:12:00.005-05:002008-09-15T11:38:39.042-05:00Tooth #1<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFrDK9wKE-0T3g4F_bekNBpZCYbUAhvqBPj68Apx7-ZUA6hayY4G3j-ev_0EhK4DKg3Rvgs6n5aN6mQsFZnVCkywN3NdqleXgVkQTTp9mhK8-yuaWTlVuLqsxhGui0n7iPnJiGP9OnhilJ/s1600-h/prd_8_1_lg.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246286984043249762" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFrDK9wKE-0T3g4F_bekNBpZCYbUAhvqBPj68Apx7-ZUA6hayY4G3j-ev_0EhK4DKg3Rvgs6n5aN6mQsFZnVCkywN3NdqleXgVkQTTp9mhK8-yuaWTlVuLqsxhGui0n7iPnJiGP9OnhilJ/s320/prd_8_1_lg.gif" border="0" /></a>It is official . . . Jack now has his 1st tooth!!! It is the botton left tooth in the front:) We have not been shocked that he has not cut any teeth until now . . . mainly because his big brother did not get his first tooth til he was 10 months old. We knew that they would come when the time was right! He has been feeling and rubbing this new tooth with his tongue . . . it is too cute, because he has this look on his face like he is trying to figure out what it is:) He has been a little crabby, but not too bad. I know it has to hurt:( The bad thing about getting new teeth . . . other than it hurts . . . is that they usually are not alone. He has waited all this time for a tooth, and now he is not only getting a tooth . . . but teeth . . . 4 of them!!! I can see the the bottom right tooth and the top 2 front teeth peeking through his gums! He has been a real trooper . . . all he has needed is a little extra love and an occasional dose of Tylenol and he is is usual happy self! I guess he will be eating lots of new things soon . . . just something else fun to look foward to. It is very hard to take a picture of a tooth . . . if you can only imagine . . . so here is just a cute picture of Jack!!!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246285888539065762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY7chi-Ewzt-1BGCWO2YLur5NGXwnx5t6beCY1lLVmXasAmo43SFy580ydgk7j6Hm-4G7LoS-sySwZpFH9_WeSTSS-XF55i_gookISdjl7uPa1mEynvgtz_Hg0mRn6RnLseJAGWshi2OZ2/s400/P9050076.JPG" border="0" />Rachel Morrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05257432237804911566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680733166581732184.post-82152650337736455762008-09-08T20:44:00.005-05:002008-09-15T10:38:04.757-05:00Poison Control!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFP4lhBBUip54XmktQ7x3VTWubFa7qk_tLIX9GoNGWRczrTa7HdkkkHuSTZoA8dSVkkW0YQtXpTx0qZwq8FbZwTxjmxrX_qE__nsWkYUl51TpUF3aWxC6vbaWDZzTU0nPG4znxGhGEfimB/s1600-h/1_5ozAwesomeOrange.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246272296186642706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFP4lhBBUip54XmktQ7x3VTWubFa7qk_tLIX9GoNGWRczrTa7HdkkkHuSTZoA8dSVkkW0YQtXpTx0qZwq8FbZwTxjmxrX_qE__nsWkYUl51TpUF3aWxC6vbaWDZzTU0nPG4znxGhGEfimB/s320/1_5ozAwesomeOrange.jpg" border="0" /></a>Today started out like any ordinary day! After we dropped Drew off at school, Kendall, Jack and I went to Target:) Jack was sitting in the front on the shopping cart and I had convinced Kendall to sit in the big part of the cart, too. She was helping me "organize" some of the things we had picked up . . . it worked to keep her in the buggy:) I was looking at something and heard her coughing and gagging. I leaned over to check on her . . . she had her fingers in her mouth, still coughing . . . she gagged and then threw up. It did not take me but a secong to realize she was holding a travel size bottle of Germ-X (orange scented)! I am not one to over react, but I got a little freaked out. I am sure, in a somewhat loud voice, started asking her if she had put it in her mouth. She kept telling me "no", but I knew that she had. I kept on asking her . . . trying to make sure that was what really happened and she finally said "she had licked it off her hand." I was a little relieved that she had not turned up the little bottle and took a swig, but I was still scared. I called Brent. . . no answer, so I called my mom . . . I knew she would know what to do. Since I was standing in the middle of Target containing 2 kids, she called Poison Control for me. They basically said, since it was a small amount and she threw it up immediately that it should be fine. I was to wait about 15-20 minutes to let het drink anything and that was that . . .Crisis averted!!! I will have to say that I do not think Kendall will ever lick Germ-X off of her hand again . . .at least I hope she does not. We had a long talk later on today about things we put in our mouths and things we should NOT put in there . . . hopefully she was listening . . . she is just 2 1/2! Heed my WARNING . . .Germ-X does not taste good and quickly induces vomiting if ingested (at least in our case!)<br /><div></div>Rachel Morrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05257432237804911566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680733166581732184.post-46917447344967696942008-09-07T18:48:00.005-05:002008-09-07T23:08:37.393-05:00Tonight at Dinner!<div align="left">Tonight I was inside all<span style="font-family:georgia;"> by myself feeding Jack dinner . . . Drew and Kendall were helping Brent in the yard! Jack was eating (carrots and applesauce) and being sooooo cute. He has learned to do many new things in the last week or two . . . so he was showing out for me tonight. Over the course of his dinner . . . he clapped his hands, shook his head "no no", blew some sweet kisses, drank out of a sippy cup, and waved bye- bye! My little man is so smart! I was so proud of him . . . and everytime I would praise him he would start to clap. I actually took some pretty cute pictures, and in some of them you can tell what he is doing:)</span><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfsmYNl9pe8G1gBKr4LyR4iJ_aGREtMbOz0klH7RBoRdAs2c9Nva6QHspJP2DevR8xXbgBNQedYWswcG7HC-6ZOITLLZlOY3E3oI3LXGYb_wrcynpY6cRKA3Zce4FvD2ec42S5gfOulYY/s1600-h/P9070005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243493856766974994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfsmYNl9pe8G1gBKr4LyR4iJ_aGREtMbOz0klH7RBoRdAs2c9Nva6QHspJP2DevR8xXbgBNQedYWswcG7HC-6ZOITLLZlOY3E3oI3LXGYb_wrcynpY6cRKA3Zce4FvD2ec42S5gfOulYY/s400/P9070005.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>Here he is clapping!

This is the first time we have been in a few years, but I must say this year was the best one we have attended:) There was so much fun stuff for the kids to enjoy, lots of terrific food, and lots of great vendors! Haylie and Nick went with us and we had a blast. It was pretty hot when you were not in the shade, but overall it was tolerable. We spent approximately 4-5 hours at the festival . . . and with 3 kids that was enough. The pony rides were a favorite with the kids . . .specifically Kendall. She loved the ponies so much that she ended up riding once in the morning and again later in the afternoon:) It was a fun day!<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6jMm3ixRSXGmFeFj2HuyS-Aiz-FfO5LxA7ZCKUz75K7ToRd9hPcr9RrIymFmstOw1_-2jAG7v9XC94myut-02z9VcP3JCEq9UoaJzGhDEox9P9Ie-Dr_SUGA0QJ6TEXVTCpa-JhRe1D8P/s1600-h/P9060083.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243478064719998050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6jMm3ixRSXGmFeFj2HuyS-Aiz-FfO5LxA7ZCKUz75K7ToRd9hPcr9RrIymFmstOw1_-2jAG7v9XC94myut-02z9VcP3JCEq9UoaJzGhDEox9P9Ie-Dr_SUGA0QJ6TEXVTCpa-JhRe1D8P/s400/P9060083.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>This was one of the biggest bounce </p><p align="center">slides I have ever seen . . . and he did it!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243478050114929250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRmUXyX743wLDsSxs24WQulaUeJ54e1UKZCEpvugfH1it4I17y0XWiKL8recmT0EICXlA7yMk6r6KwpchwJ3h9KVygIxctshMl2jSemsOi_m0uoOVciQjMJb_s6Es0kHkiZTl6IILb5YuW/s400/P9060084.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">He was so proud that he did it . . . and was ready to do it again!</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOtvQTjSHtBW2B4QP-YQIqHYR9zoQiREBzEE-pSsMslFZJ-hw9NU_zUwmFzOe4voW_U5cpqq0o7YhaOdfldXbT_YG5wOpQK7-BUOmCB8zxxAtznGEGLEXoXWw8g71gSUrjIBr3azp-L7A3/s1600-h/P9060082.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243478066501459330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOtvQTjSHtBW2B4QP-YQIqHYR9zoQiREBzEE-pSsMslFZJ-hw9NU_zUwmFzOe4voW_U5cpqq0o7YhaOdfldXbT_YG5wOpQK7-BUOmCB8zxxAtznGEGLEXoXWw8g71gSUrjIBr3azp-L7A3/s400/P9060082.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>Kendall braved a smaller bounce slide . . . but still big for her!</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qGLf76AKf_dMoI-Xg8B4ZjPt6tJ5A0Z8ygmOJ1MME_pcSS-GohSLR3_WeE2-jGzrOnELOsg1q2iPUm5Hk7Ws1W3FY_9p4FED5ip5iJYsnNzygR1eMJiptrTEIkkSFUSQ1VrTsYjkcY1o/s1600-h/P9060080.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243478071452758098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qGLf76AKf_dMoI-Xg8B4ZjPt6tJ5A0Z8ygmOJ1MME_pcSS-GohSLR3_WeE2-jGzrOnELOsg1q2iPUm5Hk7Ws1W3FY_9p4FED5ip5iJYsnNzygR1eMJiptrTEIkkSFUSQ1VrTsYjkcY1o/s400/P9060080.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>There she goes!

It was a toy that Santa brought him, but he is just now big enough to play with it! It only took Brent a few minutes to put it together and it was entertainment for all 3 kids!! Jack crawled right over to it . . . watched Drew and Kendall play with it for a minute . . . and he was all about it! He loved it! He is getting so big, and doing new tricks everyday. Today while playing with his new toy, he just let go and stood there without even holding on to anything:) This was a first for him . . . and I know at this age it won't be the last! He is such a big boy! I am so proud of his accomplishments, but a little part of me gets sad to see my little baby growing up and out of the infant stage:( For now I will hold onto the little things and enjoy every minute . . .

Jack is now into everything. He can army crawl, scoot, hand-knee crawl . . . whatever he wants to do to get where he wants to go! The last few days have been the same story. . . anytime I put him down near the dvds, he heads straight for them! It is like there is a blinking sign that says "Please come mess with me"! For any of you that know Brent, he loves movies. He keeps them in nice condition and in some form of order on the racks, well not anymore. I spend half of the day picking them up when Jack is not looking . . .but as soon as they are neatly back on the shelf he makes a bee-line for them. Today he was so cute . . . and so proud of himself. I think he feels like he has accomplished some big task by emptying them off the shelf! I guess I will continue this game as long as the movies are not harmed and I put them back in their place before Brent gets home from work:)</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbya11gLWSUR1h5WX68rcD4B0FWBpBOm7YiJEBqCKW3p_V7ZN4Z0kmlmFbI68Q5LtoTlzXYHmV4W6lLg2LXMGdhlyqDAo2NCFtHTll8Auew3Kiiy8sZqNdbpI1Wx1JHAujaZ1l-XxN32Nh/s1600-h/P9040063.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243489254094502178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbya11gLWSUR1h5WX68rcD4B0FWBpBOm7YiJEBqCKW3p_V7ZN4Z0kmlmFbI68Q5LtoTlzXYHmV4W6lLg2LXMGdhlyqDAo2NCFtHTll8Auew3Kiiy8sZqNdbpI1Wx1JHAujaZ1l-XxN32Nh/s400/P9040063.JPG" border="0" /></a> <blockquote></blockquote>He looks a little mischievious here!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOYkBmkqrEQtaXi_miIexgZlcHJV5Lmf3aiFhFYXLBl-SP2K20kBe3QOWeWAZBWLRMQBMHD5wIuvI8C-J_pmQ6xit85LuvzHxrh63lyjqnV0A3VZxqkkjNDoR-ZvUP4kQPT_WzPeJtBOM/s1600-h/P9040065.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243489269071588610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOYkBmkqrEQtaXi_miIexgZlcHJV5Lmf3aiFhFYXLBl-SP2K20kBe3QOWeWAZBWLRMQBMHD5wIuvI8C-J_pmQ6xit85LuvzHxrh63lyjqnV0A3VZxqkkjNDoR-ZvUP4kQPT_WzPeJtBOM/s400/P9040065.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>He was sooooo excited!

I am not one to dive fully into politics . . .but as an American I feel it my duty to have knowledge of our candidates and participate in the election of our country's President/Vice President! As a republican, I could not be more proud at our nominees for 2008! Tonight I was blown away by Sarah Palin . . . what a fabulous speech she gave at the RNC! I think John Mc Cain made a wise choice when selecting her and I think she will be a fine asset in a leading role in our government! She seems to be just an ordinary citizen . . . just like you and me, but I continue to remind myself that it is ordinary people who go out and do extrodinary things! I think that is definitely the case with Gov. Palin and I look foward to the many things she and McCain will accomplish together. She is a "doer" and I like that about her. She has the ability to talk the talk while she is walking the walk!!! What an amazing woman . . . she is a mother, coach, lobbyist, goal-oriented visionary. . . we need someone like her fighting for us in Washington. I am pumped about all the things that she has planned and look foward to the next few months!<br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242224373922794818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4-oWvItjGWCN2vLk3lT0q-VIoHpiSXpuOeAX39CkA35Q_1EqkUXTkr3ohNVluQk5DrjkpSA-NXZ01uO3-A0WOPljbVkDHTnC1FydYgwWznVUYdRo6FXt7epror60ZJq586V3Iavlq-S_/s400/RNC.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center">What a powerful speaker!

Brent was holding Jack while he drank a bottle . . . nothing out of the ordinary except that Jack all the sudden started to pat Brent's face. He was holding the bottle with one hand and loving on Brent with the other. It was absolutely precious! Brent thought it was so sweet, that he called me into the living room just to witness what was happening. Of course, I was a bit distracting with the camera, but he still continued patting/ rubbing Brent's face:) He is such a sweet little boy.

The zoo is only open to members from 6-9pm. They had live music . . . all the animals were out for exhibit . . . and the kids can "take a dip in the nile (i.e. fountains)! It is just another excuse to go to the zoo . . . and we had a blast! This is a different time of day than we are usually at the zoo, so some of the animals were a little more active because it was nighttime:) We walked around and checked out our favorite animals (Drew and Kendall's favorites of course!) Once it got dark, we decided to let the kids get in the fountains. They had a big time splashing around in water:) We ended the night with a trip to the Cat House. We met some friends . . . Dana, Tom, and Maddox Giel and Dana's brother James . . . for a little late night snack (ice cream)! It was another fun time at the zoo! </div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242289437183063842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKaHmMcMHT_OenRT-6l9wQ733xGto0r9WqEbh0z0vOcnLJwwmhimV2NeScApMNszC0C1h_9seARKe_tODcswrFKsEpAOWMvFhCBPEcPjyzntWDq-FHd4ny0AHbBtlVh4_ckoEgk8_MwGkq/s400/P8310005.JPG" border="0" /> </div><div align="center"><blockquote>The kids are ready for the zoo party. . . </blockquote></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">check out their armbands!<br /></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242295995267784450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiF6QP30RpD2CsVd8SoJ91HrFNIsuNwBkMkUc59SmoXe66Xk7QjwfduFIzQpCnLEPx1hIGZoFmWtymTmGQRzDv5zU0LXFsW_UKVaafrwBDCID6wf6BnNPvwSjZDI62Vzo13sHnnYhGt6gz/s400/P8310007.JPG" border="0" /></div><div align="center"><blockquote></blockquote>Me and Kendall :)<br /></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242289444892113282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg37sf7JlpsltnWalAh7HYvWmhv4_W2BZ4kRSVx1IE0xf9UjTcoyTOg2N6XOvMvuQYmchBfqJnen1sT2Zsjp5mm80bLQJYBH_AAbzfRNkJki5PfRT0gvMFZdZ02i8B1nL5CHzqu1EIGX43s/s400/P8310010.JPG" border="0" /> What a beautiful white tiger! </div><div align="center"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242289447468913026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM-A_ZfL96LHbLHWCfmsQk6LEOETymWMrBV32Ehgbwz2tdp6MNa_oj7SQUBIh-Kv5oQO0tHUNIgMIhTJVne_vZHEViJx5YjAt3Aqy65srK7VdMeGH7iCpHYLH36DiMgrinKG4HPWgmq6jo/s400/P8310012.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">The tigers were really active. . .they were playing with<br /></p><p align="center">each other!

He had to get 2 shots today . . . which is better that 4. . . but it still hurts (me and him)! Jack did very well . . . he fussed for just minute, but as soon as I picked him up and loved on him a bit he was fine :) The hardest part was what came next. . . Drew had to get all his school entry shots! 4 booster shots and a TB skin test! WOW. . .is all I have to say. Shots are never easy, but they apparently get harder the older you get! I had tried to prepare him a little bit for the shots . . he knew that he was getting them and that afterwards he would get a special treat from Target:) This worked fine at home, and even as we were entering the Dr. office . . . but things changed quickly when it became his turn! I had to hold him down . . . with Jack in the other arm . . . while he cried and screamed "he didn't want any more shots" It was absolutely heartbreaking. He was. . . just like Jack . . . fine once it was over. I gave him a few kisses and a big hug and told him what a brave boy he was! He was now ready to go to Target! He later told Brent that he was a big boy and that he only cried a little:) I was very proud of both my little guys today!

It gets even better, because it turns out that Amanda had extra tickets . . . enough for our whole family to get into the game free:) Thanks Amanda and family for sharing the tickets! We had a blast!!! The kids watched a little of the game, but for most of the time just enjoyed playing with each other! We enjoyed some good ole baseball food . . . for me and Brent that means Bar-B-Q (nachos) from the Rendezvous and yummy hotdogs for the kids! It was a great night and we look foward to attending more games next season!<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242279941237199490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTpqbuItXRvLIhm8bBHKJyhtPGQqkvwM2xMwK4ZVLaT90C_NBvXRt9I7VXFo5lxnMgPYi2Ym7ylgetXZKbc2qhLZXtwIHtrKbBW1oDQaHWnSJNICZOkXIEAmPw1PsJDKnauy_CSu66-NOb/s400/IMG_1109.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"> Memphis Redbirds</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242279929506085762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglTnpinHEFoYzjEBxLEcIRHzBWI_5LDWxnztgRvwHbab-VOZxQLbgQGbQvvvUX5rdv6vwts9giCiOLRD9dbuBL4JZ0_OwyXUVUJl016h_0e92Lc13Jzli2-1cwxWxBWZ8qPsOKGf3JW9yD/s400/IMG_1103.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"> Drew and Brayden cheering on the Redbirds!</p><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9OxL3SHUe9glsVr9zQZ4w55OtW_fteHW4jx7vWZgmRTTX7f5XnErukHHHlKZxXU7I3740KEbK2dWIyRl7JoItG9wxIyIQjJKO0BXcDRiNXZgeEJqmtK_noiSrtq02H4LqkqUagSDbH10V/s1600-h/IMG_1114.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242280516308476994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9OxL3SHUe9glsVr9zQZ4w55OtW_fteHW4jx7vWZgmRTTX7f5XnErukHHHlKZxXU7I3740KEbK2dWIyRl7JoItG9wxIyIQjJKO0BXcDRiNXZgeEJqmtK_noiSrtq02H4LqkqUagSDbH10V/s400/IMG_1114.JPG" border="0" /></a> <blockquote></blockquote>Kendall and Karis played with their "babies" . . . and </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">watched the cheerleaders when they came out on the field!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242279945244689762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw9Kcgl2CW0Bd3y6DSUY3lA1ZVdVgmP9SuY5oSJ8XZv76rpp8bS4nipPuIzRGvZe_xYMgLxXMnGeTli4uHcbTXYxTnHdSFPbzLlljxJdaCvcW1S2ZMGVoV3B3o6rSw59QNrxhKnGrLth20/s400/IMG_1112.JPG" border="0" /></div><div align="center">Kendall and Karis with their little babies!</div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTNibot5WhYV9wX11FIM-NrN_nDBOXmv_RLqlp8ZIAjltBfcTb4x60vKywL4uFiEygSx4GhUiZkt38uRUxQIsJ1Cda8B8ovYK2KDUnimCz61Ud0RF0CYwekwkZpE0mjW7cm881h-qDV6s8/s1600-h/IMG_1117.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242280520491693938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTNibot5WhYV9wX11FIM-NrN_nDBOXmv_RLqlp8ZIAjltBfcTb4x60vKywL4uFiEygSx4GhUiZkt38uRUxQIsJ1Cda8B8ovYK2KDUnimCz61Ud0RF0CYwekwkZpE0mjW7cm881h-qDV6s8/s400/IMG_1117.JPG" border="0" /></a> Drew and Kendall eating their hotdogs . . .</p><p align="center">yes they peeled the bun off like a banana!</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCJNT-JX1EDbOdVovo_dEeIA4J9I5ZiJbEXJ5V4i3PXNya2OYR50mxoUVrmxN2fU5ntT5Z-mFEfKUQQrg7n7Yh7q1Xhru-27qBzu3I1FmB-WrOcmA-EKUQrlOzer1KeGPhkuvAsj2wwv-P/s1600-h/IMG_1124.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242280521521813810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCJNT-JX1EDbOdVovo_dEeIA4J9I5ZiJbEXJ5V4i3PXNya2OYR50mxoUVrmxN2fU5ntT5Z-mFEfKUQQrg7n7Yh7q1Xhru-27qBzu3I1FmB-WrOcmA-EKUQrlOzer1KeGPhkuvAsj2wwv-P/s400/IMG_1124.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>Karis was giving Jack sweet kisses!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242279933310483106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTw3iZpwMFwIr-6YrT6xd_IZOXF0PzS-Uq1K8sDx8rNlsCvAB0wbdl6ssv-nLI4SXljQbcx9Maew1JOAI2IsmRRE8OztunAALjL7sTNkOh0capHQZpUyws3AUH-hacy6AZxtPfeamGxMqu/s400/IMG_1107.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">Me and Jack! </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242280526830625714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir5gHn7xC7BwIiso11pwCvOx2KEkdxsOHJVV66OOR2ZJXCZVB1I02R61KH5L8vIiYgo8b1EvtDB-WZ8-FN1uwk86QH81sxPO1md_MjC9PiEV5V-RSUiZDiZP0QC-VMy0-uDVgkAzOdYpL1/s400/IMG_1121.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">Amanda and Jay!

He is learning something new everyday. Since his "8 month" blog Jack has mastered several large milestones . . . he can pull up (on anything), he can crawl ( most of the time it is on his tummy because he can move so fast, but he can do it on his knees), he shakes his head "no no" when he does not want something or because he thinks it is lots of fun, he waves/ says "bye bye", </span>and he can eat fun things like crackers, fruit puffs, etc. . . anything that will dissolve because he still has 0 teeth:) This has indeed been a very busy and exciting month. He spends his days exploring the world around him and continues to be amazed at so many things! He is such a joy and a blessing in our lives and we are truly lucky to have this amazing little guy for a son!! Just some facts and figures: He weighs 19lbs and 11 oz:) He is 38 1/2 inches tall (75-90%). His head is 18 1/2 inches around (full of brain. . . just like his daddy)! He is growing right on schedule!!! Here are some cute "9 month" pictures for your enjoyment:<br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241649106966782834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjUQI_VMJ-e8Fb3wMSUBeYL81EwSSHN9h7wSlpKnYJ4KKc2B5GSeNvmosUzWyeDv3vJaTBiMJKZLT5rI7K76kJZcut8GYHc01Kp1ldait6miF20YUmTuzLab0MhadgtcTU4pLLMfi7EYBJ/s400/P8100005.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center">Jack loves to help with the laundry!</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241649110350562850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDS2cNzKb5oqdwvSE2LtCz9SgnrjMak8qZdTFnA0UyxalVuAgP0nwlD1bvCt2eUsMtBGsRkR3jBzjL-2rTYiWXirQFyn8mQJZhl8bxded7SL2IiuNzF11K8BO3q7DkrnQ60-FwGXNHuTdB/s400/P8140137.JPG" border="0" />Look at me mom!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241649119977856082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJCJam5YrCZ1KXr6WpUOQ-1m02kMyXZ-487Joq_gpGQhNsOak8uY3vxdz9fI1HVQlaDhMayUvqeLm5o2wXcoR0DD-PNkK9Dos1gYGfY4YjoMgQjJHEj2RygYDgjnKGTXcWXJzTi3L_CNA7/s400/P8170163.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center">Look at those dimples!</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241649124537133666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3nGx49BhRrd1eoILbz5ofFfhL9kXNlrUuTzhg8W_S1GueILWhviJxFZQJVats0IQenNN3iASTq-eTWMtPMArf6aZD2iBgWaSm0FT0KStRZ02HEvQL444xCgjZgv1iGehhRx7FCn9-rxYh/s400/P8180183.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center">He is checking everthing out now that he can stand!</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241649134451852514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0-pMrpsLhW8E2mCGFXOU9fEhJghoWNW8S-ggDVNPUXsWy4d10LbydQjzaYc7X4wmmF0peYb9sVGfaHwFYqC1YYsaHNYefjLO0tLJWsiK0CAe3M1pimUMyg-Xnp2nkQNDzOMcErGRuNvkg/s400/P8260068.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center">He loves Ritz crackers!</p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">We love you baby Jack!</span></p>Rachel Morrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05257432237804911566noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680733166581732184.post-12982439917474568492008-08-28T19:11:00.017-05:002008-09-02T21:40:53.571-05:00Lions, Tigers, and Bears - Oh My!<div align="center">Today was another fun gathering of the "girls"! Amanda, Ashley, and I took the kids . . . Karis and Brayden . . . Thomas, Maggie, and Mary Taylor . . . and Kendall and Jack to the Memphis Zoo:) We have not been in a month or so due to the hot weather. We finally felt like it had cooled off enough to go again, however today was one of the hottest days we have had in several weeks. It was hot, but the kids still had a blast! We drank plenty of water and got out of the sun whenever possible:) As usual we ended our zoo trip with a little splash in the fountains . . . the kids always look foward to this part of the day!

It is hard to keep up with him. Everyday he finds some new way to amaze me:) This afternoon, I was on the computer talking with Dana Giel . . . I heard Jack wake up from his nap. I went in to get him and found him standing up in his bed. I was so excited! He has stood up before, if we placed him there, but this time he did it all by himself!!! He was too cute. I clapped and praised him for doing it and he was sooo happy. However, the pictures reveal something else . . . you see, when I ran to the kitchen to get the camera he fell apart! He thought that I was leaving him in his crib. . . so the pictures are a little sad! I could not resist posting them, because I was so proud of him, but he looks pityful. (Oh, and don't mind the ladders and such in the pictures . . . Jack's room is temporarily under construction!) Those pictures to soon follow:)<br /><br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239044045706147586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWyEwr_C4Bmqes1x6xWKSqsKUNsteWNrlLY3D0JVNYk7aUeK-eksq5C6L8wYLX2T2lIwCWAQXOSCkh6XSwVlDyevn1R7j6UCIrFnKaylF7ZTK3Tr9XZBK_lN7mTBnmTb9CrCG3oLUgYLbs/s400/P8190190.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">What a sad, sad face!<br /><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKHrzqM4_qQbYjvtUHI4vNkOy7B0EDRtjFKIWcb86xb4IAWtNYKa0QFthyphenhyphenfETKjYsNjuU0HEoOQ4FRt5a0KKEPP_o4YgKb4-rjNElT4IAwyUvxpM7NVOer57L5SxSQyMtFtt0Sy1iWA9Dl/s1600-h/P8190191.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239044056485334210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKHrzqM4_qQbYjvtUHI4vNkOy7B0EDRtjFKIWcb86xb4IAWtNYKa0QFthyphenhyphenfETKjYsNjuU0HEoOQ4FRt5a0KKEPP_o4YgKb4-rjNElT4IAwyUvxpM7NVOer57L5SxSQyMtFtt0Sy1iWA9Dl/s400/P8190191.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>Mommy promises to pick you up as soon as I take this picture!</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ULnMkD6I0rxXjF7k_K8ccvqE1uSFS1L241hurxjeh0ra5wIZNwDL5APBIvYsFB4b8yssmRvNF6lrNL63uFkILxJxt8pmCBm0t0haZ5QccMi8ed5KIqC8CPjhc8Jw2wIyXU9NMaazyx0u/s1600-h/P8190192.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239044057949052914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ULnMkD6I0rxXjF7k_K8ccvqE1uSFS1L241hurxjeh0ra5wIZNwDL5APBIvYsFB4b8yssmRvNF6lrNL63uFkILxJxt8pmCBm0t0haZ5QccMi8ed5KIqC8CPjhc8Jw2wIyXU9NMaazyx0u/s400/P8190192.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>Much better with the paci in!

In particular, Kendall loved watching the girls gymnastics! Gymnastics is the main motivation for this post:) One night we were watching the girls team semi-finals. . . Kendall disappeared for a few minutes and returned wearing a purple leotard! My mom knows how much Kendall loves to dress up, so she has several of these little outfits. Thanks Nanny:) I think until the Olympics she was unaware of their intended use, but not any longer!!! She came in wearing one and was ready to go for the gold! She was posing, and flipping, and doing exactly what the girls on TV were doing! It was absolutely priceless! I got some great pictures of her performing her events . . . and we gave her a perfect 10!!! Everyday when we would turn on the Olympics, she would ask for us to "turn on the flips . . . I want to watch the flips"! Too cute!

This time last year it was 100 degrees+, and this week it has been in the mid- high 80's! It sounds hot, but it definitely feels better than the alternative. Since we don't have to worry about the kids having a heat stroke in the 80's, we have been spending alot more time outside:) I always try to capture the kids doing fun things . . . sometimes I am successful and other times I am not! I did manage to steal a few shots of them enjoy a nice summer afternoon:)<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239034230928788098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGuTrOgiZbVb10e-BMqa1bZ3OeXGPbJrGnDhof2B3FDDRxEv2oyu0GgV4Rh60TTbZqSy0jzQ4g4d53HkvB0VhOIIOESx586L4_h3jSyh7lwNe6FPQbU5dNo1mWtKl6E-5piKtTKU2AbRdC/s400/P8120107.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">Kendall is still learning to use her pedals!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239034241666970466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6YsQpnfzX4ndF6-MK8FSYL38d3ARmeVI8MXLTb1QOdlrZaqus-Y4xMjnh1NMED_EeYqltU6ZOt0jOyl-FN7E-vMA_qaPXBaq3PzYKfXI8Rklvzz_wTzXk0BxlD7fiLdjAXP50Axb-u-zV/s400/P8120109.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">Drew is hard to capture on camera . . . he is so fast!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239034229999713106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6gAsK2zCLc7YSueFfp-4QGN-Xrr-CMQIBwY4eRhaY9ebnt4tfynYodTYQ0OgDXuKOQyRNS1kB1lfNNUCPt3r4Go9LkyeO5uYh6TZ3Q3dxKUf2YGdk9GMmdrzzf51GAD58eMhmLRnRsSbP/s400/P8120105.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">Jack loves being outside. . . especially with his daddy!</p><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv4S-2rSk_KyDs-SOqvxjwpTljeoM254HRYR-SATP8_z58lVk824Xznbx_fmVEFVkxrbPHCw-ViLVvkHyohDp8BURypOsvySNB0tNcENhJ4yvXqJAAse9D6bhFD5rZS9hdlVyEjp5PGSv_/s1600-h/P8120104.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239034220278983746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv4S-2rSk_KyDs-SOqvxjwpTljeoM254HRYR-SATP8_z58lVk824Xznbx_fmVEFVkxrbPHCw-ViLVvkHyohDp8BURypOsvySNB0tNcENhJ4yvXqJAAse9D6bhFD5rZS9hdlVyEjp5PGSv_/s400/P8120104.JPG" border="0" /></a> My beautiful Vincas:)<br /></div>Rachel Morrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05257432237804911566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680733166581732184.post-31549766049781988232008-08-12T19:59:00.007-05:002008-08-26T11:58:22.011-05:00Drew's First Day of SchoolToday was Drew's first day of junior kindergarten (k-4) at SBEC! He was really excited this morning when he woke up . . . I hope that continues throughout the year! He is in Mrs. Pollan's class . . . which is who I wanted him to have . . . and he was excited about her because her son Luke was in Drew's k-3 class last year. We are working on teaching him to call her Mrs. Pollan instead of Luke's mommy, but she said she didn't mind:) School starts at 8:15, so I had to prepare last night everything we needed to get ready this morning and not be late. We did just fine getting up and ready. . . and Drew was on time to his 1st day of school. He let me take a few cute pictures of him getting ready to go into class . . . he is such a big boy now . . . and such a sweet boy, too! Good luck in Jr. K buddy, we all love you very much!!!!<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGp7MZ8yhyIyexoUOJxWo7oMGUK1TRyU7e0JmvWgl-gOPTv6PZRpDvBEqwcocMFeBvxipm3a0yTIaacXdgNCynJvJoULan85HplK8JdZsVhX0frRWqO_nj7zTxhSx9keIJsSSmpqD4hI8C/s1600-h/P8120096.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238866816171622530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGp7MZ8yhyIyexoUOJxWo7oMGUK1TRyU7e0JmvWgl-gOPTv6PZRpDvBEqwcocMFeBvxipm3a0yTIaacXdgNCynJvJoULan85HplK8JdZsVhX0frRWqO_nj7zTxhSx9keIJsSSmpqD4hI8C/s400/P8120096.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is Drew beside his classroom. . .he is standing by his name!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM5D2JbrQd3tkYeJcaZO4bItwzOmWjX8WQcrI3JhBv6DkUhRIFwHRH7BqyZ8I0_ZcgLh11pI1VXnThpDXBSmtLtBUxR9omXjWdFfpaiF0Fueg4pgbNNoAi73v19TbWJW65ZjkW9WYeQc8K/s1600-h/P8120097.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238866828818445746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM5D2JbrQd3tkYeJcaZO4bItwzOmWjX8WQcrI3JhBv6DkUhRIFwHRH7BqyZ8I0_ZcgLh11pI1VXnThpDXBSmtLtBUxR9omXjWdFfpaiF0Fueg4pgbNNoAi73v19TbWJW65ZjkW9WYeQc8K/s400/P8120097.JPG" border="0" /></a> So cute. . .and so big!</p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIOiwgk4kjWvohIJ8MLtlLhtdzUQE8AOkOPB2p5fD8icJGI2wDJGh9QHqb856nN-HF6F-bkaAVuJ-hA_58zglDDTqQIHSuCZaZ9s-5QtVYGRaGurcvpH7UoGO20_zbW3EEAlRiTJbRXP66/s1600-h/P8120098.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238866927169941746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIOiwgk4kjWvohIJ8MLtlLhtdzUQE8AOkOPB2p5fD8icJGI2wDJGh9QHqb856nN-HF6F-bkaAVuJ-hA_58zglDDTqQIHSuCZaZ9s-5QtVYGRaGurcvpH7UoGO20_zbW3EEAlRiTJbRXP66/s400/P8120098.JPG" border="0" /></a> This was Kendall after we dropped him off. . .she was excited for him!</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVThHQlrJP2UvbSPhaIi2-BZ13z-WMC8ukf6FW00jdolcWp7WHIc1r_I6lXnLdsgWG33XQ-qRTwZHxslBLLRzlfScWLvedSSlGiWBSy_R7nGxIwrDyYOr-Xyh04HeYh8LZxd9O_pJnfch7/s1600-h/P8120099.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238866982053142722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVThHQlrJP2UvbSPhaIi2-BZ13z-WMC8ukf6FW00jdolcWp7WHIc1r_I6lXnLdsgWG33XQ-qRTwZHxslBLLRzlfScWLvedSSlGiWBSy_R7nGxIwrDyYOr-Xyh04HeYh8LZxd9O_pJnfch7/s400/P8120099.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>Jack was excited, too!</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNaeDs3XcvFaDXqLyrhHzSD3W-TXwDiM1j9BnKZ_vqF33fMNOmt5s8jxnDNn7KQkatatpuDQtxQ1F7fwfCwOgybNmbrxemm5snxMKV1rx9ZWUe5V6xSac0a1YnAgPJDFwH783khG0BrfeM/s1600-h/P8120100.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238867014577119330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNaeDs3XcvFaDXqLyrhHzSD3W-TXwDiM1j9BnKZ_vqF33fMNOmt5s8jxnDNn7KQkatatpuDQtxQ1F7fwfCwOgybNmbrxemm5snxMKV1rx9ZWUe5V6xSac0a1YnAgPJDFwH783khG0BrfeM/s400/P8120100.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a> This was Drew after we picked him up. . .he is standing by his cubby!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238867567100596402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiumCk2JLXWKG46rVeTPUrf436OCfFV-A5vW1RP6K103n42V5OVLS6xOP0qXflbdYW_efviLOg-ME52DLw-TJo6eiOjeFBFYBrCbcVCr1smPBXIXFHNI3TK2UgpU3wil4stBzM62RNbJ2B-/s400/P8120102.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">Drew gave me the thumbs up for his 1st day of school!</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238867591035866274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_OvFWpiYIzDXfTPKBjG3hpwGNAPvuoq-LnrMOi2gu3OxWCF7nd2B6bb5gr_ARoRotz67dikKFLQYYiAoitvUO0yUvrLUTpFcGhp2KhHRQZXbQocw7LXMxER-dUZLA_Z3ExV4K0Sf2m3t/s400/P8120101.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p>This is Drew kissing his brain . . . this is something Mrs. Pollan taught them to do after you have used your brain alot . . . he thought it was fun . . . and I thought it was too cute!!!</p><p>Drew had a great first day of school . . . and we know that he is going to learn alot this year with Mrs. Pollan!! </p>Rachel Morrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05257432237804911566noreply@blogger.com0
