Long Awaited Photos

These may be the cutest kids ever, and I am not partial at all since I am their mother. Their eyes have not been touched up, I was there and the blue popped out that morning as she was taking the pictures. It was very cold that day. McKaleb didn't last long because he was sleepy and on medication recovering from bronchitus and strep. You would never know from these pics that the little sweetheart was sick. Let me know which is your favorite. Thanks Rhonda and Kim for a wonderful photo shoot! You can view their other work at www.imageeverything.blogspot.com

Fireproof the Movie DVD Release Date!

As many of you have been anxiously awaiting the news of the release of the Fireproof movie on DVD, and now the information is available. The DVD is going to be released January 27, 2009. It will probably only be in theatres another weekend, so if you haven't seen it, you need to go. If you have and have time, you should go again. If not, you can pre-order the DVD at several local retailers. You can go directly to Lifeway and order here. I would check to see if Lifeway is offereing any pre-order deals in the upcoming sales ads too. They typically offer some kind of deal if you pre-order anything.

I am anxious for our photo shoot tomorrow with ImagesEverything. It is going to be cold, but I think it will be fun. I hope everyone has a restful weekend.

McKaleb's 2nd birthday photo shoot

These photos were taken by Jill Payne at the JCPenny portrait studio at Knoxville Center Mall (East Town). We went to HS together and have a couple of kids about the same age. She has 4 to my 2. How she manages, I'll never know.

I can't decide which is my favorite. He was such a ham for her. There were many more, but I didn't order them. I am not sure that they would show up on this blog since they are so small on my computer.

Let me know which is your favorite of my "little man!"

He is so cute, but then again I am partial because he is mine!!!



He was looking out the "window" and said "It's scary back there!" Too cute!



Is he a stinker? I think so!!!







He had a great time playing with the hat!



He has such a sweet smile in the one below!

McKenzie's Week

This is not McKenzie's week. First she got bit by a spider at church (we think). She didn't see it, only knew that it hurt and was very itchy. Last night the kids had their first gymnastics classes, which they loved. I was hesitant to let Kenzie participate in the class because she had a 103.00 fever. My mom was certain that it would be ok, since she thought Kenz had a UTI and it wouldn't be contagious. Turns out, mom is correct, she has a UTI. She is also getting her 6 yr molars too! What a week for the kid. She will be out of school until Thursday for sure. The doctor wrote the note for her to be out until Monday if necessary.

The last time McKenzie went to the doctor, he was concerned about her weight. He didn't want to her gain anymore because if she keeps gaining at the current rate she is going, she could be at risk for a multitude of things. The most devastating to a child being ridicule by classmates. Since her last visit to the doctor about 3 weeks ago, she has lost 2 pounds and grown a 1/2 inch. She is 69 lbs and 48 1/4 inches tall. I am so proud of her. She was hoping Dr. Ruth would be there so she could tell him how well she was doing. She is growing so fast. Dr. Ruth predicted that she would be at least 5'4". I wonder if he will be right, or if she will be taller........

She got her first report card last week. She did great! She only had a couple of things that she needed to work on. The best part of her report card was the comment made by Ms. Cox. She said, "McKenzie is kind to all in our class." What a great compliment to get on your child. I know she didn't get that quality from me or Luke.

Kyker Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze

This weekend was a busy one. We went to the Kyker Farms Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze. Below are a few of my favorite pictures!

Birthday Gathering for Dylan

Dylan turned one on September 28th. Larissa wasn’t able to have his party as scheduled because the little guy to the chicken pox. He hadn’t had the vaccine because they don’t give it until babies are about 18 months old. I wasn’t worried about McKenzie and McKaleb because both are up to date on their shots.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the party

Look at them cramming as much icing as they could into their mouths!!!

McKenzie's expression is priceless!

Dylan is trying to get the lens cap on my camera!!

A big boy pony ride!!!
