Birdhouses! (better known by most as Gingerbread Houses!)

Ok for all of you out there who have never attempted a gingerbread house kit with your children....I say do it! Seriously...it was a ton of fun. I think the funniest part was being reminded over and over again that it WAS NOT a gingerbread house...It was a birdhouse! I know too funny. So here are a few pics of the masterpiece!

Enjoy

Kole is our first born! (well at least a whole 2 minutes before his sister!) Kole was born 5 1/2 weeks early and had a little bit of a rough start. He was in the NICU for a couple days after birth (his lungs weren't quite ready for the world) and after coming home he developed RSV at 2 weeks old and was taken back to the hospital for a 5 day stay. Boy oh boy you would never know it now! He will be 3 on March 5th and is a big strong boy. He loves firetrucks and helicopters. He isn't big on change and likes his things just so! If you ask him who his best friend is he will reply "My Daddy"! His favorite time of day is about 5pm as that is when he stands at the door and waits for "His Daddy" to come home. He loves to ride on the quads, "vrooms" as he calls them and loves to help Wade or my brother fix anything. It takes him a little while to warm up but once he does watch out....you will have a sidekick with you the rest of the day!

Our precious little girl! Kady is our only little girl (and if you have met her you understand why I say it like that!) She was definately meant to be the only little girl in this family. She has her daddy wrapped up tight around her finger and that is exactly where he is happy to be! She is very outgoing. Loves to ask people questions who they are where they are going, if they want to come over and play! She is the leader of the pack. She was potty trained before she was two, has had her own room and a big girl bed for the last few months and loves having her own space. She is definately a tomboy at heart! Although she loves wearing dresses and bows, carrying purses and wearing high heeled shoes...she is the one that I find in the backyard digging in the dirt for dinasaur bones, trying to catch lizards and watching the bugs crawl! She is amazing!

Our newest addition Maxx Rene'! Maxx decided that he was going to join our family a bit early! After going into labor at 35 weeks (5 weeks early if you are unfamiliar with pregnancy terms!) the Dr.'s were unsuccessful at stopping it so after monitoring me in the hospital for 12 hours they decided to do a repeat c-section. (It was the plan from the beginning just not that early). Well, delivery was fine but the little guy was definately not ready to be here. He had an initial cry but soon encountered problems breathing. He was immediately taken to the NICU and was intubated and was given a PICC line on IV's and everything. However....after the LONGEST 11 days I have every experienced in my life Maxx came home to join our chaotic family. It is just wonderful having him here!
