A few Kennedyisms

Me: Happy last day of being 30 Greg!
Kennedy: Happy last birthday Daddy!

Me: I forgot to bring my fridge inside at school today. I hope no one steals it!
Kennedy: Oh no, Mommy! How will all the boys and girls get their diet cokes?
Me: They don't drink Diet Cokes Kennedy. Those are bad for them!
Kennedy: (thinks for a minute) Oh. I guess they drink juice boxes mommy. Do you put them in there for all the boys and girls?

Another diet coke story...
Me: Let's go to the movies!
Kennedy: Yeah, so we can eat popcorn and drink Diet Coke!!
Me: NO DIET COKE!
Kennedy: Yeah, we can have sprite. :)

I love her little brain. It makes me happy. :) I guess I need to stop drinking so much diet coke or diet dr peppers. Crazy girl!

Happy Birthday Greg!

10 years I've celebrated his birthday with him. Hard to believe!! We were such babies when we met. I am truly, truly blessed to have him in my life. I don't always take the time to tell him that. Our lives have changed a lot since that first Greg birthday we celebrated when he turned 21. 10 years....a wedding, our first house, a dog, two babies....wow...life has changed a bit. But deep down this man I fell in love with is still the same. We've aged, gotten bigger and then smaller (he..he..he), we've walked through a lot together and we still stand together. 31 and he is definitely not grown up yet. I don't think he ever will. That's not Greg's nature. He'll just teach my kids how to be forever young. :) I love you, Greg Olliff. Our life together.....not perfect...but absolutely all that I ever wanted. Happy Birthday!

MY BOY!!

18 months.....this little baby has turned into a BOY!! :) Here are a few pics of him lately....

Playground fun! I have a pic of Kennedy just like this one. So cute! :)

Climbing all by himself!
Kennedy always has been a playground wimp. I used to make fun of her about it. The day she broke her arm I was actually cheering her for climbing the ladder alone and then she fell. :( wow. We took Whit to the playground and the first thing he does is fly up the stairs, barrel through the tunnel, run down the ramp, and dives HEAD first down the slide. Well, this is a change for me. :)

Playing on the ball field. Gotta get ready for spring training. :)

My future artist.

I LOVE this. Kennedy is a little Mommy. I take for granted that she can get herself completely dressed. I just throw clothes at her and poof they are on! :) The other day I asked her to put Whit's shoes and socks on. They thought it was hilarious. Here she is in action being that good "big stister" that she is. :)

Kennedy to Whit

Whit: Lellenedy!

Kennedy: Why do you keep saying Lellenedy? My name is KENNEDY SUSAN OLLIFF! Say that! :)

Greg and I: (uncontrollable laughter)

I love this. :)

18 Months

I didn't realize it until after he went to bed!! Whit is officially 18 months today!! I took absolutely no pictures of him today! BOO on me! I will update tomorrow with a few pics of this sweet boy. Here's a few examples of how Whit spent his big day of turning 1 and a half.

I picked him up in the nursery to see him playing happily!! This is huge because Whit hates church. What was he playing with? A nice pink stroller. :)

We went to lunch to celebrate his Poppa's birthday. He enjoyed the company but decided to throw everything on the floor. When I say everything, I mean everything. He finally decided he would eat applesauce. I might stop taking him in public.

After nap time he woke up in the best mood. I was in the bed reading a book (oh yes I said in bed) Greg was watching something on TV so Whit snuggled us for a little bit. He kept yelling for Kennedy and I told him she was asleep. He yells, "Lennely!! Ssshhhhh!" Then in a whisper says, "Lennely, sshhhh."

I love his conversations lately. They make so much sense but are missing so many words. He will say Daddy, Mommy but mean something like, Daddy sits here and Mommy sits here. It is neat to see him growing and changing. I totally speak fluent Whit. :)

Kennedy is not enjoying it as much. My favorite moment from today was when he looked at her and clearly says, "Lennely, MOVE!" She looked at him startled at first because he actually made sense. Then got mad that he told her what to do.

I love this. There are moments I hate when i am busy or my house is a mess....but I truly, truly love this.

Just Beautiful

You study your child. You know every inch of them. You think there is no other child on earth that is quite that wonderful. Sometimes I capture that in a picture and this is one of them. She's just beautiful, my Kennedy. Those sweet brown eyes, that crazy hair, those perfectly painted fingernails that she insists that we paint pink, the perfect big bow, that face that looks just like her daddy.....she is absolutely, 100 % just beautiful. At least I think so....:)

Whitisms

I always like to look back at Kennedy's little conversations I document on here. There is something amazing about this baby that you brought into the world learning to talk. When they can finally look at you and you understand and so do they it is amazing!! Here are some recent Whit conversations....

Kennedy: What Whit?
Whit: Lenely, mon! Lenely, mon! MON!

Translation: Kennedy, come on! Kennedy, come on!!

While I was putting Whit to bed for a nap. Greg hands him to me and Whit says, "Mommy, (pats my chest here) Daddy (points to the door), Daddy go, Mommy (pats me again here and lays his head on my chest.)

Translation: Mommy's here, Daddy was here, Daddy left, I have Mommy (in a very proud way) :)

Oh, my, I love this baby. :)
