Mommy and Daddy's Wedding DVD

Today, Kaden and Colin wanted to watch Mommy and Daddy getting married. They were very intrigued and excited to see us on DVD. Colin then stated that when he gets married, he wants to be the mommy. I asked him why, and he said it was because the Mommy is sparkly : ). Kaden then stated that he wanted to be sparkly too : ). So cute!

Rogue's Doctor appointment

Today was Rogue's 31st week check up. I decided to take Kaden, Colin, and Katharine with me since we were having a sonogram. I thought it would be neat for them to see the baby. They did really well, and it held their collective interest for a while.
Rogue is in 75th percentile for growth! Dr. Elliott said if she continues on this track, she will be over 8lbs! Wow! I've never had a baby that big : ). T- 7 weeks and counting til Rogue. We are excited and scared at the same time! It's slightly frightening to be responsible for 4 children, 4 and under : ).

Memorial Day at the Park

We went to Frisco Commons today for some family time. Kaden, Colin, and Katharine love to feed the fish in the lake. We usually stand on the bridge and throw the bread into the water. Today, they wanted to stand on the edge of the lake. Everyone was having a great time. Katharine was throwing her bread in whole. During one of her throws, she slipped and fell on her bum in the mud : (. Most upsetting. Thank goodness we had an extra set of clothes in the van!
Once recovered, we all traversed to the playground where they all proceeded to have great fun in the sandbox and on the slides. We then ate a nice picnic lunch in the pavilion. There was another family celebrating a little boy's birthday next to us. Of course, Kaden and Colin don't know a stranger. They went right over, made themselves at home, and sang happy birthday with the other family!! Katharine was, of course, right there with them : ). They were even offered some cake, but sadly, it was naptime and time to go home : ).
We had a good time as a family. Once home, we had Movie Night and watched Bolt. It was a hit, and everyone enjoyed the popcorn. We'll have to have more Movie Nights. . . and more park time, just with less muddy consequences :).

Colin's Advice to Mommy

This morning, while I was getting ready, Colin asked me if I was okay. I said that I was and that I was just tired. He then said, "Mommy, you just need to get some rest, and you'll feel like a brand new woman." So funny!!! I asked him where he heard that, and he said Aunt Brandi!! They have memories like elephants!! Cracks me up : )

Katharine's first Dentist appt.

Unfortunately, Katharine was not nearly as excited about her Dental visit. Kaden and Colin loved it so much, you guys often ask when you can go again! You both have said you want to be Dentists when you grow up : ). Of course, this is a pediatric dentist, so the visits are more pleasant : ).
Katharine, however, was having none of it. She cried the entire time her teeth were cleaned and examined! Luckily, she kept her mouth open throughout the crying spell, so her exam and cleaning were not hampered : ). The Hygenist kept asking if I was okay with her crying, and I informed her I'm a PICU nurse, and this is nothing compared to what I've experienced at work : ).
Katharine was fine as soon as she was back in my lap with her balloon and new "elefep" toothbrush. It's really a toothbrush with flying pigs, but she still insists that pigs are "elefeps" (elephants : ) ). She returned to great spirits as soon as we left the office! Good report, no cavities! Katharine, you did great, considering you are 2 : ).
