Brother Sister Love

A year ago Whit was a vegetable baby. All he did was eat and sleep. Here we are one year later and his goal in life is to be the perfect little brother. How do they know to do this from the very beginning?!! Here are a few examples of Whit in action. It is really funny to witness. There are times where Kennedy enjoys it and others that she wants him to just go away. Poor thing, if she only knew how long he was going to be around bothering here.....sorry Kennedy! :)

A nice morning in their chairs

Hey...what are you doing over there?!!
Kennedy is pushing Whit because he climbed up in her chair. Can you tell how he feels about this?

He thinks it is hilarious!! The harder she pushes him the harder he laughs!

Then he pushes back...still laughing!

Who won that fight?!!!

My, my, this is not going to be easy on me is it?

Goodbye Summer!!

Clearly it is still a million degrees outside, which means it is still summer. But our summer break has come to an end. Sad! :( I return to work tomorrow and my kids go back to Miss Michelle's. It is going to be an adjustment for all of us, but I know they are in the best hands and I am ready for life to resume on a schedule. Who knew I would love a schedule so much?!! :) We spent the day doing lots of fun things. I took the kids to the park. It was Whit's first trip to the park when he could play so I had to snap a few pics. It was a big moment, you know! Kennedy climbed up the ladder for the first time since her big break . It was a big moment for her. She was super excited about it!! GO K! :) Whit played and played in the tunnel. He loved it! It is going to be even more fun when he can walk!!

We went for an evening swim at Mema's tonight. Kennedy was jumping in a as usual when she decided she would go for the diving board. She has avoided it all summer. She walks onto it and JUMPS OFF!!! YAY for Kennedy!! I was in super shock. She popped up and swam right to me. My two year old...jumping off diving boards. She did it about a million more times and I got my workout for the day catching her. A perfect end to an absolutely perfect summer. Thank you Kennedy and Whit for slowing my life down. You show me the important things in life. Life is not about if my classroom is ready. It is not about having everything all perfect in this house. It is not about getting things done. Those things don't matter in the huge scheme of life. I watched the world through a 1 and 2 year old's eyes. I got to give you experiences that are molding you and making you who you are. I got a million and one kisses that belong just to me. That is what matters. You two are what matters. So, goodbye to our summer, but we have a lot of fun ahead!! No rest for the weary around here!! :)

Pretty Girl..:)

My sweet girl and her million dimples...

KISS!!

Whit is giving away kisses like crazy these days!! Come over if you want one!! :)

The Best Summer since I can remember...

I think I would call this my favorite summer is many, many years. Let's review back to my past few summers. Summer 05: That was the summer I couldn't get pregnant and was so upset....not my greatest moment in life. Summer 06: Kennedy was on the way! I was just a little pregnant so I could still enjoy summer. Now that I think back, I wonder what I did with myself all day long. What did I do? Summer07: Kennedy was here! This was a harder summer because Kennedy was still little. It was still so much fun to show her all the things I love about summer. :) Summer 08: Waiting on Whitfield...:) I was SUPER preggo...but K and I still took advantage of the pool everyday and then naps in the afternoon. I just had to nap as well. Then we got to meet Whit!! Then I was fat again....yuck! Which leads me to Summer 09, my favorite summer! I am not near as fat. Ha! :) My kids are a year, and 2 1/2 so they are so into my favorite summer things. I love the pool. My kids get that after me. Whit is so tan it is embarrassing. People are in shock when they see him. I put 50 sunscreen on that baby but he just gets so tan! This is the first summer in forever that I have had no agenda. I have no list of projects to finish. I had no timeline for things to accomplish. I just wanted to spend it with my babies. We took them to the beach, the pool, to visit lots and lots of family, to the lake, and played and played at home. We celebrated Whit turning one. We took lots and lots of naps. I cleaned out one closet. I have a lot more to clean, but I don't care. I have 100% spent my summer playing and enjoying my life. For that, I am truly thankful. I can go back to work now refreshed. I am filled. And now, due to the lovely furlough, I get two more days with my babies. I'll soak up a little more sun and enjoy my babies for a few more days before I have to say goodbye to my wonderful summer. :)

Here are some pics of the past few days....

Breakfast at the kid table. Whit is so big now!!

Playing with Whit's birthday present...a sand and water table!

Playing some more!

I learned how to make bows!!! Yay!!! This was my first one. Not my best work...they got much better. I will post more later. I went a little crazy.

What a big boy!!

What's Your's is Mine

Maybe we should change their last names to Prosser-Olliff. They might like that! I said today to Jen, "What's yours is mine" as I wiped Drewbie's face. It is funny how these two little darlings feel like just as much mine as my kiddos. They truly function like siblings. We are one big messed up family!! :) Ha! I love our life. I wouldn't want them growing up any other way. You need someone to get your back...well they have that in an instant! Here are some pics from after lunch today. Poor Lorelei was not so into the sun blaring down into her eyes! Maybe, just maybe, someday I will get the perfect shot of the four of them. :) Until then, enjoy these pics of the Prosser-Olliff's!! :)

All in an hour...while K naps

In the past hour the following things have happened.

1. I discovered my home is no longer baby proof. It was Kennedy proof, but we now need to make it Whit proof. I caught him banging a glass lid on the floor and two seconds later he had dishwashing liquid in his hands about to eat it.

2. Whit walks about 3 steps to me...arms held up so excited!!!

3. Then he leans in, mouth open and gives me a BIG slobbery kiss!! He proceeds to give me a hundred more while going..mmmmm...as he does it. My first kiss....so special!!! And he saved it for his mommy....this little boy loves his mommy! I love that!

4. He is playing with a farm puzzle, picks up the duck and says, "QUACK, QUACK" with a huge grin on his face. He was proud of himself!

All in an hour....my son is changing so fast! This mommy is proud, happy, and full of mommy tears today.

Gotta go...he is going to fax something now! :) He..he...
