2009 Ice Storm

Well, we woke up on Tuesday morning to everything covered in ICE, and several of our friends and family out of power. The Hands came over that morning to hang out while their power was out. We have been very fortunate to keep our power, which if you know where we live that is very RARE. We typically lose power, but I guess the tree trimming that they did a while back has helped.

Chris was home all day on Tuesday, and being the FLYNT that he is, he thought he could get more work done at his mom's house (so Carter and Paige could play). So, off we went, yes in the ice, to Nana Flynt's house. We had a great time, and really Chris does really well driving on the ice, I of course was a nervous wreck the entire way over there.

On Wed. night some of our friends that live out by the lake were out of power. So, we have had a little sleeper over with some friends. They have a little boy who was born in Aug., so needless to say, we are having some fun with kids.



Not sure how much we got exactly, but I am sure it is somewhere over 1 inch.

Carter got a haircut on Tuesday morning since Chris was working from home

Last night we had bathtime for all the kids, Carter thought he was so funny everytime he put bubbles on his chin

This is Noah, our friends Andrew and Angela's little boy. Him and Carter are exactly 2 yrs apart to the day.

1 Month Checkup

The girls went to the doctor on Friday afternoon for their 1 month checkup. They had a very good report and as you will see below they are growing really well. Like I mentioned before, we are very blessed with babies that are sleeping and eating really well, and starting to be awake a lot more. Here are their stats...

Kennedy:
7lbs 9ozs (yes 2 whole lbs since she was born)
21 1/2"

Bailey:
7lbs 12ozs
21"

They were 10% for weight, a little about 50% for length and 25% for their head.

As you can see Kennedy is definitely catching up with her sister, and looking at them now it is hard for some people to tell them apart. I am sure it will get even harder as they get bigger and bigger.

Mini Photo Shoot...1 month old

I can't believe that Kennedy and Bailey are 1 month old today! Time sure has flown by, and they have definitely grown so much since we brought them home. We are having such a good time, and Carter loves them more and more each day I think. We did a mini little photo shoot yesterday, of course they didn't do any amazing pose, but there are still some good pics.

They have their 1 month checkup tomorrow, I will be sure to post an update to their weighs, heights, etc. They are doing really well sleeping and eating, even going 4 to 4 1/2 hrs at night.


My friend Nikki came to visit last night, it was so good to have her come and meet the girls. And Kennedy seemed to like her, so I guess that means we can continue to hang out.


Carter of course wanted to lay next to the girls, I am thinking they will never get to lay there by themselves as long as he is at home with us.


Bailey and Kennedy

Bailey...poor girls has some baby acne on her face, hopefully it will get better soon.

Kennedy...put up your dukes

Friends come to visit

Last weekend my friend Sharon, her kids, and her mom came to meet the girls. Sharon grew up with Chris and his sisters, and we have gotten to know each other over the years. Her little girls Courtney and Carter are 3 days apart. It was so good to see her, and see how her girls reacted to Kennedy and Bailey. Lindsey loved helping out, she did such a good job feeding Kennedy. Thanks for visiting, and hopefully we can get together again soon.


Lindsey feeding Kennedy...isn't the kiss on the forehead so sweet.

Silly Bubba...

These are Carter's favorites words right now, he thinks that everyone is silly. It is so funny to hear him say it. The other day I caught Carter "playing" with Kennedy while she was swinging. I guess he wanted her to taste some of his grill food from his picnic basket.



Don't ask me why he has his pants on his head, I was not here for this picture, Chris was...I guess he thought it was funny!

Nightly Newspaper Reading

Chris reads the newspaper everyday at some point. So, the other night he tried to read it when he got home from work, and Carter wanted to be like his dad...of course. So, here are my boys reading the paper, or at least Chris is, I think Carter has some ads.

Little Black Dress and of couse a Bow...

We actually had an outing this week of lunch with Dad and his friend Andrew. So, we got the girls dressed up for the occasion. One of my cheerleaders and her mom bought the girls these outfits. The first time I put them on them, they both spit up all over them, so it was good to finally get them out of the house in them. I have not had bows on them yet, but I decided to since we were making an outing. Don't you like their little black dress...


Carter actually keeping his hands off Kennedy...I am not sure how long he actually did though


Bailey and Kennedy before the trip out



Bailey looks so tired...
