The age of questions

I think I must be getting paid back for all the times people told me to be quite and stop asking so many questions. I really didn't know just how annoying it can get until now. Kaily asks questions ALL DAY LONG. Seriously, even if she already knows the answer she still asks. If I try to turn it around so she gets to answer her own question she says, "No mom! I asked you, tell me!" She gets more demanding everyday. She will ask me questions about the shows she has watched and about anything else she can think of. The best ones are the ones she asks pertaining to anatomy and science. It's because she loves to watch "Sid the Science Kid" and b/c of Clint's schooling. She is learning so much and has such a strong desire to know everything. I am so glad she wants to learn and is interested, but honestly, sometimes I just want her to be quiet and stop asking so many questions. But I will never tell her that. I don't want her to think that asking questions is ever a bad thing. I pray that I can just have enough patience to get through each day of non-stop talking. I know this is pay back. Parents you are saints!

Fetch

While I was doing dishes I asked Kaily if she could entertain her brother. She said she would and a few min. later this is what I heard..."Fetch"..."Conner why aren't you getting the stick?"..."Conner this is how you do it."..."Fetch"..."Conner!"..."Mom Conner won't play. I think he doesn't want to be a dog." Me, "Probably not; he doesn't know how to play." Kaily, "Well...I'm trying to teach him." (said in an exasperated voice). A few min. go by and..."Okay Conner this is how you play." I go around the corner and she is throwing a toy and then going to get it on all fours. She does this a couple of times while Conner watches her go back and forth. Then she says, " It's your turn Conner, fetch." Conner just sits there and looks at her. She waits and waits and then turns to me, "Mom, this isn't working. We need a dog. Conner doesn't get it." I laughed so hard trying not to let her see me. Conner crawls away to find something else to do. So funny.

Opinions

I have my own opinion of this whole bail out issue that our country is facing, but I have enjoyed reading others comments and opinions on their blogs. If you would like a good discussion on this and some good insight I suggest you go to a couple blogs connected to mine. Kemp Krew and The Hickens. Read the post as well as the comments. Oh, and if you don't get what Jon, my brother is saying, don't worry he's so smart I don't always understand him.

Kaily at 7 months

So many people say that Kaily and Conner look so much alike so I thought I would post pics of Kaily when she was 7 months.
Look at the post below and you decide if they look a lot alike.

8 Month pics

Today Clint needed all of us out of the house so he could study for a test so I decided it was time to get Conner's pics taken again b/c the only professional ones we have up are of him at 1 month old. We got them done at Kiddie Kandids (just giving credit where credit is due).
