Kaily's last field trip

Pretend you're 5 and your school takes you to a giant bounce house with lots of fun tunnels and ropes to climb and slides to go down. And them you have Pirates cove to go explore and get lost in. Now pretend that you had 2 hrs to just do whatever you wanted in there. Yeah, my kids had a blast!

Conner's May

Conner LOVES to watch "The Princess and the Frog". May 1 Conner came upstairs with one of Kaily's tiaras on his head. It was upside down and when I asked him why he said "Princess and Frog, I frog." He was so cute that I had to take pics of him. He likes to dress up with Kaily and pretend with her. He was also trying to get me to play his version of tea party, which means you put everything you can in the teapot and then pour it on the floor. Usually it's just some of Kaily's other dress-up things.

Conner also likes to help us do lots of things around the house. About May 5 Kaily and I were gone doing something and Clint and Conner were left home. Clint decided to let Conner "help" wash the dishes. After convincing Conner to NOT climb in the sink Clint handed him all the things that were nonbreakable to try to wash. (Clint washed them all again before putting them away.)

After all this I got tired of his hair so I cut it all off. It's much shorter than I wanted it at first, but now that it's been a month it's not so bad. He was great while I cut it and even looks more like a Kemp, if that's possible, with it short.

Where have I been?

It's been 1 month...Why the hiatus? No, it's not FB. It's not really even the fact that this month has been packed full of events. The truth is I get on line to look at vans that are for sale and after looking for a few hrs and calling or discussing the options with Clint I have lost any desire to be on here. I DON'T want to write and I don't feel like doing anything else on the comp until I sit down and repeat the process all over again.

We hope to find a van soon...Until them though, don't be surprised if I don't post a lot. I do have some pics I want to put on here, so that will come later, again when I want to spend more time on this contraption doing something other than looking for a new ride. Until then, hope you had a great month and hope June will be great too.

The last post for April

On Tuesday I went to my Dr. appointment. It was great, it took all of 15 min total. She told me that the baby looks healthy and then she asked if I wanted to know what we were having b/c she could tell. The image was really blurry for me b/c of the way the baby was sitting so I don't know how she knew. But I told her no, we will wait to find out. Clint and I have gone back and forth on this and that's what we've decided. I'm just happy the baby looks healthy and everything is measuring right, except for it's legs, they're really long. Must be taking after the Kemp side.

I am feeling great these days, a little emotional, but I think that's normal. I was telling my Dad this morning that sometimes I just don't know what to do with myself when I'm like that. I don't do drama well or over emotional so when it's ME who's acting that way I feel really dumb.

Clint is DONE for the semester YEAH! We got the final grades back and he didn't do as well as he wanted (4.0) but he still did great (3.5). Now we will enjoy him while he is home for a month or so. Kaily has 1 month to go and then she is done also.

With Kaily it was Orange Juice, with Conner it was pasta, meat and root beer (I hate root beer), with this one, lately it's been CHOCOLATE. I can't seem to get enough of it. I don't want the milk chocolate or the candy bars, I want dark, semi-sweet chocolate with or without peanut butter. MMMMM....that is what this body wants lately. Maybe it's the hormones, but really I don't normally like chocolate that much, every now and then is great. Now though, I could eat it everyday. I think it's a good thing there isn't much of it in my house.

Movie Night

We just saw this movie and we all liked it. Both Kaily and Conner were glued to the screen. We saw it for family night tonight. The story was great and the animation was typical of Dreamworks, so it wasn't a Disney, but it was still VERY good. We didn't see it in 3D though, but I hear it's worth seeing in 3D. Kaily and Clint can't see 3D very well, so we don't spend the extra $ very often and really never when we take Kaily. If you haven't seen the movie yet, you should.
