Graham Cracker Crumbs: It's Official

It's Official

We are going to FREEZE this winter!! I just went out to haul off some stinky diapers (my first time out today) and I was almost cold!! And it is 80 with a slight breeze!! The fact that it is overcast and dreary of course makes it cooler than if the sun were shining and it was 80, but OH MY we are in for it when we head home to Kansas this winter!! Just think how bad it is going to be when we move back!! We will be so accustomed to the heat that the seasons are going to seem crazy!! (Don't worry...I don't care how crazy the seasons seem...I can't wait to get back to the sunflower state!!)

Anyway, for those of you back home reading this and laughing at me because I think 80 is bordering on needing a jacket, just think of the difference between 75 and 50...a 25 degree difference is huge! So, take an average summer day of around 105 down here and knock of 25 degrees, HELLO it is cool!!

Okay, so I wasn't planning on updating, but Chris and the kids are running errands and I just had to share!! Back to getting myself ready so we can head out and enjoy this fun weather later on! I better get my camera battery charging! I am feeling refreshed and invigorated!! It is amazing what stepping outside in PLEASANT, non suffocating weather will do to a person!!

I hope you enjoy the beautiful day! You'll be back in Kansas and enjoying the seasons before you know it!; October 4, 2008 at 2:01 PM

Huntler is our little man...our first born. I honestly can't believe it, but he turned four in September! I think I must have gotten caught up in a time warp because since we had him time has just FLOWN! He is very serious by nature...probably the most intense child I have ever met. We have way more pictures of him deep in thought than smiling from ear to ear! He has always been an easy little guy...he is very laid back and just goes with the flow. He is so sweet and caring and he loves that little sis of his more than words can express! Don't let all of this fool ya though...he can be quite ornery and the things that he comes up with these days literally crack us up!

Ahhh...Gentry girl. If ever two kids were so different! She is so sassy and spunky and full of it that there is never time for a dull moment! Although she is not a hard child by any stretch of the imagination, she DEFINITELY has opinions and isn't quite as "go with the flow" as her brother! She started talking early and there is never a quiet moment when Gentry is awake! She seems to have grown up so fast...I am sure that a lot of that has to do with the fact that she has a big brother to keep up with, but she is doing things so much faster than he did! And although she turned two in July, she is absolutely convinced she is already three!! And the way she carries on most of the time, one would definitely think she is much older than two!

As we were driving by a bunch of trees Huntler says, "I don't wiv in a jungle Daddy. I wiv in a house Daddy. I have a woof."

While driving in the car one day (yes, we do lots of driving!) Gentry says, "There ya go" to Huntler. He responds with, "I not a goat. I Huntler."

Oh sassy Miss Gentry...she is all the time saying, "I want pink wemonade!"

Whenever we say, "I love you" to one of the kids, they respond with, "Love you more." Too sweet!!

We were giving the kids baths and Huntler was upset. He tells Chris, "I had a weally bad day." Then he proceeds to say, "You're hurting my feelings Daddy." Needless to say, we were laughing out loud!

While talking about the kids' friends, Huntler says, "I have big, small and medium friends." Never quite thought of it that way before! Leave it to a 3 1/2 year old!!

While the kids were playing Little People this morning and Huntler was loading up the bus, I mentioned to him again about starting school soon. I am trying to prepare him for it. He is fine, I am not!

He says, "Mama be sad about me go school." He couldn't be more right!!

8/7/08

"School is for big kids Gentry, not for wittle sisters!"

8/30/08

"The farmer in the town,

The farmer in the town,

Hi-ho the radio

The farmer in the town!"

Chris was giving the kids baths and the following conversation came about:

Chris: "Come here little boy, let me wash you."

Huntler: "I not a little boy, I have a big head like you dad!"

Chris: "Do we have big heads because we're smart?"

Huntler: "Yeah, Mommy and Gentry aren't smart. They have little heads."

On a walk Huntler was talking about staying on the sidewalk. We never want to get in the street because a car could run over us and make us all flat. (I guess that is one way of looking at it!!)
