Happy Belated 2nd Birthday Kartyr

Happy Birthday Kartyr!!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday :)

We had a cool night the other week so we bundled her up

Fun with Juliana

Even though it looks like she is crying, she wasn't. They had so much fun together.

Watching him run...Running off energy after the second night. We left KS at 6:45am Thurs and arrived at 6:50pm(KS time) that night. We went into a service as soon as we arrived and then drove to the motel then put them in bed soon after. Friday we had 2 services then went back to the motel for a short nap. After the 2 evening services I decided to take him to the motel to run off some energy instead of staying for the afterglow. Saturday we got up and packed everything and left for 3 more services. We left YC around 3:30pm (KS time) and arrived at 3:10am. Needless to say yesterday we didn't do much of anything. Thankfully my children slept in. :)

We did a little photo shoot in the motel room while at Youth Challenge. The 3 of us wore brown with jeans/jean skirts on Friday so we matched :)

Our Weekend At Youth Challenge

Lost Picture :)

I just found this picture that I had taken the other day...

She is really working on getting both bottom teeth in at once
She was actually content to have Brandy hold her. Normally she cries unless an adult is holding her.
Giving us her Daddy's serious look {smile}

Oh to be able to fall asleep anywhere...somedays I almost could {grin}

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

6 months (early)

I am going to try to take pictures on Tuesday, but incase I don't these will be her 6 month pictures.

Bradyn Oct '08

He is so orneryHe has his own way of posing, but it still turned out cute.

New pics

This is probably my favorite one out of all of these pictures.
I know the bow is big, but no one thought she was a boy :)
He adores her and the feeling seems to be mutual
They did a good job posing even though they were ready to eat lunch.

These are some great thoughts.........

*No matter how much you care, some people just don't care back.

*It's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.

*Sometimes it can take a long time to become the person you want to be.

*You can control your attitude or it can control you.

*Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when your down will be the ones to help you get back up.

*Sometimes when you're angry, you have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give you the right to be cruel.

*Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

*Your background and circumstances may have influenced who you are, but you are responsible for who you become.

*Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

*Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

*No matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process.

*It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

*Most importantly, you can never be to old to stop learning,



I don't normally say much on here except about my children, but I thought these were good.

She is still working on getting that first tooth in and it is making her fussy alot. But she has this melt your heart, great big smile that she will flash at you when you talk to her.

New Toys

I bought this toy at the Logos sale last weekend. She seems to like it for a little while.

Discovering that even "boy toys" can be fun
