Any Mama knows that stuff like this is huge! She has rolled from her side to her tummy and her back but never from her back all the way to her tummy. Part of the reason I like staying at home is so I can experience these firsts. The funny part is that I was here but I didn't see it happen. I was walking around getting some cleaning done and layed her on her back. I walked back in the room and she was on her tummy just smiling away. I took pictures and a video just because I am way over the top like that!! I immediately stopped whatever cleaning I was doing and sat on the floor for like an hour trying to get her to do it again so I could catch it on video but she wouldn't have any part of it. I ended up filling my memory card with a million video clips of her laying on her back. LOL I ended up uploading all the video's to my computer so I could free up space just in case she did it again.<br /><br /><br />Here is what I have!<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwu-ZRv_5EMYZh7Sf5eKbAIxpkRCPnkjMlpH-Td6odsfQLVIY8CoagHw_Il5Gc8EIO_DXG2xlZSOfYRhpAhfA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXRPutE0ScXrOrctMp9NJxdY12VxmESiKbLH1BP6HaneWfnxCNtHBUCKZrg6OtGQ_bWdG7ZjOcSXhK9AVUQ09eK1WSDFN4em9zzz0SsUolshK4TYEDT7YFdvVnvPpnuHftGv-v_zKXhCvo/s1600-h/roll1.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249821102134679218" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXRPutE0ScXrOrctMp9NJxdY12VxmESiKbLH1BP6HaneWfnxCNtHBUCKZrg6OtGQ_bWdG7ZjOcSXhK9AVUQ09eK1WSDFN4em9zzz0SsUolshK4TYEDT7YFdvVnvPpnuHftGv-v_zKXhCvo/s400/roll1.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvVU_q_1tUdgYH0_rSMO_1DcsTnuYVGrcerxuf7G1mCaHmW9NrxdnR_RdrCQCC_Sd3YdXTLcNWiSpabDJ8WRJF9lRRN3Jbi7hOnGVpXLpIwYc9tCq1qYyVHoIrz0hdCzbLq1zFNOKZgwF/s1600-h/roll2.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249821107783557218" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvVU_q_1tUdgYH0_rSMO_1DcsTnuYVGrcerxuf7G1mCaHmW9NrxdnR_RdrCQCC_Sd3YdXTLcNWiSpabDJ8WRJF9lRRN3Jbi7hOnGVpXLpIwYc9tCq1qYyVHoIrz0hdCzbLq1zFNOKZgwF/s400/roll2.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p>I also have a little clip of Kendall giving Kara her bottle. While I was making dinner I handed Kara over to Kendall to finish feeding her for me. Kendall is such a wonderful big sister. She absolutely loves helping me do anything for her sister. I know there will be a day when jealousy comes to play but that is not the case right now. Kendall is so gentle and loving with Kara. Kendall is like my little "timer" for Kara. What I mean by that is she tells me when she needs a bottle, when she needs a diaper change. She tells me to change her clothes and even reminds me to get Kara out of the car whenever we go somewhere. It is so sweet how she wants to include Kara in everything we are doing. I cannot even begin to put into words how blessed I feel to have two beautiful and perfect angels.</p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzh_RIpP_WWUb7Q9cOP2HzHQkMFU3WRXRfTp_8nlObOd0Ew3uFh9jWmib6Qvu1z0C-esdksrGX-inQwg1LwiQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br /><p></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzewRBzZA1oFQDBtcUpsdRAgV2ZjnYQ7hE6wo2gDesuBgIYrReoFg3XICsQdqoncE5iIallBX3PdLVkUsHPDUyXyqak-ANNTw4T0m1wpC-DxBha7d0piyQaAvKRjbCTenf451ZMw3OdwHO/s1600-h/roll.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249821111237226098" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzewRBzZA1oFQDBtcUpsdRAgV2ZjnYQ7hE6wo2gDesuBgIYrReoFg3XICsQdqoncE5iIallBX3PdLVkUsHPDUyXyqak-ANNTw4T0m1wpC-DxBha7d0piyQaAvKRjbCTenf451ZMw3OdwHO/s400/roll.bmp" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUSzvkT_yy0nEwMwLoELIMhq1V_iSS0ilUXh2rNQf9HBCh15iE9jMDpJDPnD07193mEQhshsgpvC3FmheKemehXcSYncBND885dz4CCBGcPZhmLbpyGsn8mwU4ijlIUSbmEYos2p1DXhqF/s1600-h/sweet+dreams.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249821110371002930" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUSzvkT_yy0nEwMwLoELIMhq1V_iSS0ilUXh2rNQf9HBCh15iE9jMDpJDPnD07193mEQhshsgpvC3FmheKemehXcSYncBND885dz4CCBGcPZhmLbpyGsn8mwU4ijlIUSbmEYos2p1DXhqF/s400/sweet+dreams.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Also I have to include this video I took yesterday with my cell phone...

Ike from our house<div align="left">Where to begin? Last Thursday morning I was sitting on the couch glued to the Hurricane Ike coverage on the news. You could tell it was serious because they had interrupted all regular programming to cover the storm on all the local channels. I was concerned for my Friend Addie who lives in Corpus and sent over a text to let her know she could stay with us if she needed to. By the afternoon the hurricane track had updated and it was inching closer and closer to the Galveston area. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz87lAHuQY5DnNXNQetwJKsWKC2BlZJWpcGDsMXw3mB8tItMZ3ofYcxhqeRplmRl97t7m3nfdH6HEE1wOdEv0cX2cnC8KIYbyQWaoCdNe85oqsaAB_09b1K1b-i0QX8sEAQH21GHTN0tnx/s1600-h/5.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248679821908365522" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz87lAHuQY5DnNXNQetwJKsWKC2BlZJWpcGDsMXw3mB8tItMZ3ofYcxhqeRplmRl97t7m3nfdH6HEE1wOdEv0cX2cnC8KIYbyQWaoCdNe85oqsaAB_09b1K1b-i0QX8sEAQH21GHTN0tnx/s400/5.bmp" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div align="left"><br /><br /></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">The news was telling our area to hunker down with enough supplies to last 3-5 days in case of power outages.

In the middle of the night Thursday, I got out of bed to pack our bags<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6bii-SUUgZkNxQMlaheB5TmchAPtg57N2TriAEhgISTD6v8fMo-tDCQ5cRJVgVzrrKQjUhILIYV9CzhujX4g45BzbIEhctHGF3yCinwdZvRul5L7jf4yyn1oFO2i6maeI0nCz7I4yHJOF/s1600-h/4.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248679826621789874" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6bii-SUUgZkNxQMlaheB5TmchAPtg57N2TriAEhgISTD6v8fMo-tDCQ5cRJVgVzrrKQjUhILIYV9CzhujX4g45BzbIEhctHGF3yCinwdZvRul5L7jf4yyn1oFO2i6maeI0nCz7I4yHJOF/s400/4.bmp" border="0" /></a>. I couldn't sleep and decided it was better to drive up to Dallas now rather than after our power was out.</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">We watched the storm on Fox News Channel from Ricky's parent's house. The next day we woke up to see the damage and heard of all the power outages. It took a day to get a hold of our neighbor to find out what our neighborhood was like and if we had power. Our neighborhood was hit harder than I imagined it could being an hour and a half from the coast. Blue tarps line the roof tops up and down every street. Every other house has their carpet ripped out and on the curb. There are fences down everywhere, trees, and tons of debris. The pictures I took were taken six days after the storm, after most everything was cleaned up.</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">We were very lucky compared to our neighbors. Our only damage was the fence, which we are waiting for the insurance to come out and look at and minimal flooding to our master bedroom and bathroom.</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">It is all so surreal looking at the pictures on the news of all of the devastation. Many people are still without power (803, 000 people to be exact.) The news stations here are still doing continuous coverage of the impact and what to do now. </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">My heart goes out to all of those people who lost their homes and to those who lost family members. You don't think about how something like this has such a huge impact on lives until you see it first hand.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-uRosbUbYV5ZycMWN2ABV_H5xGS6kEVcmT02KCf3ZJ5Atm9jABMPNkpW9CRrj1dJn9U_mv7H3Vd8DyLU0J49uVRBTnqPmYBwGSpzk3jq98cZl8-E9vAbPFr4P-twGfCuW8Uz2nb1R3NVS/s1600-h/3.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248679828878313618" style="FLOAT: right;

With this new age milestone comes added work. At this stage they grow out of their clothes way too fast, some outfits getting one wear out them. </span><span style="font-size:130%;">So here I am already putting away the preemie, newborn, and 0-3 months clothes. I am not even kidding, last week she was wearing a 0-3 month sleeper and I tried to put it on her last night and it was too small... they grow before your eyes.</span><br /><br /></span><br /><div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">This is all so bittersweet. I want her to hurry and grow so she and Kendall can play together. I look forward to that more than anything. Having one child is great but having two is really special because it isn't just the bond you share with them as parents but the bond they share with their sibling that you get to enjoy.</span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">On a lighter note, Kara was trying to roll over on her stomach last night. I had her on the tummy time mat on her back and she was really trying to roll. My days of laying her somewhere and walking away are almost over. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">I would just like to report that Kendall is having GREAT success in her potty training adventure. We are so proud of her!! If I can give any advice it would be if you try to potty train and they do not pick it up, wait and try again. </span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#000000;">Here are some pictures that I took Friday of the girls. Their Grandma sent them the outfits so I took a few pictures. It was much harder to take their pictures together.

Kendall used the big girl potty for the first time all by herself. This has been my hardest parenting task thus far. It really is true that all children are different and go at their own pace. We bought Kendall's potty chair when she was 18 months old. I have read books, searched the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Internet</span>, asked parents who have successfully potty trained and nothing I did would get her to use that potty. I bought m&<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">m's</span>, I tried <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Lolly</span> pops and nothing worked. Today I put her in her big girl panties with the determination that she wouldn't still be in a diaper at her 3rd b-day. I actually forgot and put her down for her nap and she woke up with no accidents! This evening we went to the park and when we got back she went and got on her potty all on her own. When she was done she was so proud and let me know she went in her potty. </span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Way to go Kendall!!!

Ricky had off of work due to the tropical storm that didn't happen to hit us. Usually when I take a shower I put Kendall in there with me so she can play and it is easier to get her bath in that way. I also put her in the shower with me because if I don't she is outside the shower pulling the curtain back and throwing all of her toys in. Needless to say there is nothing relaxing about bath time for me.<br />So while I was sitting there letting the hot water beat down on me this song by Trace Adkins popped into my head. I had CMT on a few weeks ago while I was cleaning and happened to see the video. All I could think about was how one day not too far off I am not going to have a 2 1/2 year old yanking down my shower curtain trying to get in. It may seem like I never get a moment to myself but there is going to be a day when I wish I had my little girls tugging away at me for their every need. All of a sudden it got very lonely in that shower.<br />One thing I have learned since having children is life flies by when you have something to gauge time against. I feel so blessed to be able to stay home with my girls while they are young. I know this time will be over before I know it and they will be independent young women.360 Degrees of the Hack Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06715729224876711342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773553959858808014.post-82150090139404176412008-08-04T21:14:00.000-07:002008-08-04T21:48:33.902-07:00We have been busy!<div align="center"><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000000;">Let's see here, we have been busy over the last week and a half. Last Monday Ricky's BFF Miles came into town and we did the whole tourist thing with him. We took him down to Galveston since he had never been... boy was he impressed! lol Actually we went down to see the Titanic exhibit at Moody Gardens. They have lots of the recovered artifacts on display and a story to go along with it. They recovered over 5500 items but do not have them all there to see. They didn't allow camera's so I only have a pic of Ricky and Kendall walking in. The thing I found to be cool was the recreation of the rooms for the 1st class and 3rd class. It is surreal to walk through there and to know that stuff is actually from the Titanic. For some reason the Titanic seems like a story until you see real items from the ship.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#000000;">We also went to game 3 for the Houston Astro's against Cincinnati. This had to be the best baseball game experience ever since it was indoors!! Can we say air conditioning!?!? They have a big train that moves when they score that Kendall got a huge kick out of... too bad we only got to see it start up once! Another cool thing was getting to see Ken Griffey Jr. play his last game with Cincinnati... the next morning he was traded.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#000000;">More great news to report: My sister from another mother Yalonda and her husband Brandon had their first son Bralyn Scott Klein on Wednesday. I am so happy for them. I have known Yalonda for the better part of my life and it is hard to believe that we have children that will be in the same grade together.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#000000;">And last but not least our little Kara Beara is 11 weeks old. She has been sleeping 10-12 hours at night and is drinking between 4-6oz. Kendall cannot wait for her to get big so they can play babies together!</span></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">11 weeks old!</span></strong></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhouDpIrvi4m0ylj80jPYtTuTNy_u6J7b3JpevoDGrf2IZcP38aZtPcGUBTLEUmJv1dMP0cu6PgVRLuWoV6MVh5BIgegfeX-YmdP0xupQWzt0TY5KhjGsxtA8uGBOxFYbVzOb4y3S6vQJSD/s1600-h/pic5.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230886082747043346" style="DISPLAY: block;

No better way to celebrate not wanting to get older than to do something a child enjoys!</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">I have not been to the circus since I was very little and sadly all I can remember is being consumed with persuading my parents to buy my one of those overpriced light up toys. (lol)</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Today was such a different experience. The circus was at Reliant stadium where the Houston Texans play their home games. Right from the start you can feel the "experience" as you walk up with all the loud speakers blaring with voices of circus personnel. Once inside you are bombarded with souvenirs and food everywhere. The music playing somehow makes you want to buy something, and that we did. Kendall is a proud new owner of a $21.00 circus horse and her colt. Let's see if she ever plays with it after today.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">We make our way to our seats and the show begins. The show was awesome to say the least. By intermission I was sure the show was over feeling I had already got my money's worth but nope there was still more. The show lasted about 2 1/2 hours. </span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Kendall was a really good age to enjoy the show. She stood up on the chair and could see everything but ultimately she fell asleep... the shows time fell in her nap time window. </span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000000;">I have included some pictures of our day.</span></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>360 Degrees of the Hack Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06715729224876711342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773553959858808014.post-79888605669865836932008-07-18T21:38:00.000-07:002008-07-18T22:05:06.216-07:00Engineering degree required<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUfLuBAKP2PgGQZhSJtbOtsoYpmZjoUJaZJDZKhWC8Svf7b_ghms-v4A9EKgG0_Bi_X9uAV2iMorN7wuYlkTQbUhXJ2_7k6IVVILK0mq2_TRKMRwO7OXPOpE2WizbZ3L9lPzYDlQElOy4/s1600-h/kk+170.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224584934292494258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUfLuBAKP2PgGQZhSJtbOtsoYpmZjoUJaZJDZKhWC8Svf7b_ghms-v4A9EKgG0_Bi_X9uAV2iMorN7wuYlkTQbUhXJ2_7k6IVVILK0mq2_TRKMRwO7OXPOpE2WizbZ3L9lPzYDlQElOy4/s320/kk+170.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#000000;"> <strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:85%;">lots of pieces</span></strong><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizAlLRGw02bIsGlSS34DZDmSOoN4QRBlTgUPdEoPgroa7xQwarztRwwylk5fa6g8_0aINaTsojZCB55Ps0hb36WWoPim8yKBN-I__Kxee9f2wdAGgzphUetHqZ7Uy-QQWbv2nLfKE-Y3f3/s1600-h/kk+169.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224584938892802466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizAlLRGw02bIsGlSS34DZDmSOoN4QRBlTgUPdEoPgroa7xQwarztRwwylk5fa6g8_0aINaTsojZCB55Ps0hb36WWoPim8yKBN-I__Kxee9f2wdAGgzphUetHqZ7Uy-QQWbv2nLfKE-Y3f3/s320/kk+169.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#000000;"> <span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>throwing a 2 yr old in the</strong> <strong>mix doesn't make it easier!</strong></span><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim4vrci3jj0ZiBCJtmyGPRO-DN9vLuQaq_rX79Db3QPpLqnozOHQ3-yKsNdiSLGRHUZwgkrmx8LjbyRTXMF6Ty6R1GV86jAfN2k3nlMYyGvhWP60ciyN0Maph80QQx2_bbvHrLWFaud_sr/s1600-h/kk+171.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224584946082362754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim4vrci3jj0ZiBCJtmyGPRO-DN9vLuQaq_rX79Db3QPpLqnozOHQ3-yKsNdiSLGRHUZwgkrmx8LjbyRTXMF6Ty6R1GV86jAfN2k3nlMYyGvhWP60ciyN0Maph80QQx2_bbvHrLWFaud_sr/s320/kk+171.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHmgsqlvCv4LQ43BmbPM-5rHd_4TNq1USrPaBGYAQdnvGYQYgvukThKqi806e5hJ0e-8yFt-09onQzjw0dCHiCX7FUsStNGoHC_XDZPzFWyLevGBCIUx3udBUWDKAcRD0VvEgGqltdzWSP/s1600-h/kk+172.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224584952722918178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHmgsqlvCv4LQ43BmbPM-5rHd_4TNq1USrPaBGYAQdnvGYQYgvukThKqi806e5hJ0e-8yFt-09onQzjw0dCHiCX7FUsStNGoHC_XDZPzFWyLevGBCIUx3udBUWDKAcRD0VvEgGqltdzWSP/s320/kk+172.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>the box of death!</strong><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilKxL6c2W57NmPeC0FF8Xovv4AcqqAHwZwYciq3-UujK4MA2XrLIXpusZEgQymisIP1-arJWLwVOeUT1lkheJJ8oXfKeX_TbnyBFMQT8MxraW8wR_FDTK5Js6KHexXw9QnYvnKEI05lu2h/s1600-h/kk+173.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224584952791717842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilKxL6c2W57NmPeC0FF8Xovv4AcqqAHwZwYciq3-UujK4MA2XrLIXpusZEgQymisIP1-arJWLwVOeUT1lkheJJ8oXfKeX_TbnyBFMQT8MxraW8wR_FDTK5Js6KHexXw9QnYvnKEI05lu2h/s320/kk+173.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Atleast she likes the darn thing!</strong><br /></span><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;">Last Christmas I was standing in line at HEB buying a few items and happened to glance over at all the toy displays they had at the end of each register. They had all these "Big toys" for about $30.00 a piece and it looked like it was a great deal. The two that happened to catch my eye were a kitchen set and a little baby changing station set. One of the gifts I wanted to get Kendall was a kitchen set so I thought I had totally scored to get two things for less than the price of one at Toys R Us. Just getting these boxes into my car was an ordeal... this alone should have sent up a red flag.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The night before Christmas Ricky and I were sitting there realizing that all the gifts we bought for her that year had to be put together in some form or fashion. We basically flipped a coin and divided up the work. I started on the baby changing station while he put together her horse. A few hours later and seriously falling asleep and feeling all sorts of neck and back cramps from hunching over I decided I would go to bed and finish the project in the morning before having her open her gifts. On Christmas morning Ricky was in such a huge hurry to let her out to see her gifts that he didn't want me to finish putting the thing together...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Well fast forward a good 7 months and that and the kitchen were still not finished. (I know I know, pretty terrible)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I got a wild hair to finish these projects yesterday. Let me just tell you that once you have a child you will forever be putting things together. Nothing comes as is and ready for play. They do not tell you that you need an engineering degree to put this stuff together either. I worked on putting the kitchen together for two hours last night and here are some pictures.</span> </span></div>360 Degrees of the Hack Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06715729224876711342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773553959858808014.post-67344626076461311962008-07-15T21:20:00.000-07:002008-07-15T22:32:15.328-07:002 Months Old and Rockstar Dreams!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKsTeGFTXUOhjn-R_-7Cp0LB7f1Gr-Q5RSrrn16sime1_rGeqtntXqnLpEcTYmk5XEZT2P2TDiKx-0zI9UpPabtz2mS3_Xs4XAVPXP33NTy2nuow8CQs9P2-98mQFaqQDs3kHMHZND6-DF/s1600-h/2+months.bmp"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223467337544463618" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKsTeGFTXUOhjn-R_-7Cp0LB7f1Gr-Q5RSrrn16sime1_rGeqtntXqnLpEcTYmk5XEZT2P2TDiKx-0zI9UpPabtz2mS3_Xs4XAVPXP33NTy2nuow8CQs9P2-98mQFaqQDs3kHMHZND6-DF/s320/2+months.bmp" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"> <span style="font-family:georgia;">My baby is 2 months old today!! It is crazy how just two months ago I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have two children and now I couldn't imagine what it would be like to <em>not </em>have two children. Somehow we just seem to adjust to life as it happens to us. I used to complain about never having enough time when I only had Kendall to take care of. To be really honest I could totally add a third child into the mix. It isn't in our plan but now that I have a second, I wouldn't be scared to add a third. (Ricky, if you are reading this... don't freak out! It is just a statement. HA HA)</span><br /><br />I just wanted to share this video of Kendall that I took today. One of mine and Ricky's new favorite shows is <strong>Family Jewels </strong>with Gene Simmons. I guess Kendall likes it also! This made me laugh so hard... I didn't teach her to say this at all.<br /></span><p><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='313' height='287' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzXL0V5e5U8I925ekWovj-Sv1_BQaLN8ZmqoJgoG2OuKmvVIKxC-3--Bg_IBsehdX1jrXYYjVsfA0EXfqIuxA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>360 Degrees of the Hack Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06715729224876711342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773553959858808014.post-22653315772040940242008-07-13T21:36:00.000-07:002008-07-15T22:29:30.248-07:00Personalities and Birthdays<p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyaGwX1pIVFVntl_1hfj7SwxMld0mdoevw83ycKZpQM7KeBeaZHzwSTixYmbCOBtn-kmoacMOMJ_E3uCLmSgA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Ever since I had Kendall I keep hearing mom's talking about their baby's developing personality. I always found this to be silly because I never saw a distinct personality in Kendall. Heck, with Kendall there was no pattern to anything. Now that I have another baby and the whole process isn't new to me, I am noticing things I didn't notice with Kendall... it is like watching a movie a second time and seeing things you didn't catch the first time. I have to admit it is a much more enjoyable experience the second time around. Do not get me wrong, I was super stoked to be a mama the first time and Kendall was and is my little miracle but being a mommy a second time comes with a certain ease. So I guess what I am trying to say is that I am already seeing some of Kara's personality shine through!! I can already tell that she is going to be a little comedian... there is just something about this smirk she gives me. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Just a little note to say that tomorrow is my 27th birthday. I am not looking for anything here but would just like to say that I do not like birthdays anymore. Am I already one of those women? You know the ones who get stuck on their 39th birthday for ten years or refuse to tell you their age. I would be happy if I was 25 for 20 more years. I am not sure if having children makes me just not interested in my birthday anymore but that is about the time I no longer looked forward to them. So tomorrow I will not have a day that is all about me but more likely be having a cake with candles just so my two year old can blow them out... that is how I role these days.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>360 Degrees of the Hack Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06715729224876711342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773553959858808014.post-65456640738910293712008-07-10T21:56:00.000-07:002008-07-15T22:29:54.404-07:00Fast foward 10 months!<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz5G5qPkoOeiG30PkwaY2GCGqgVBqtcQ_skGca4MQ-sPVUYbib4lh0SV_y3WBS69HyaObmBhnvo4dLUxz1NlKCeWjYMdJwXZozG1DhwZX92WmrBe-VOPDS9MKJOKe4AO-g51wWVJRd-S0n/s1600-h/88.bmp"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221620038133507922" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz5G5qPkoOeiG30PkwaY2GCGqgVBqtcQ_skGca4MQ-sPVUYbib4lh0SV_y3WBS69HyaObmBhnvo4dLUxz1NlKCeWjYMdJwXZozG1DhwZX92WmrBe-VOPDS9MKJOKe4AO-g51wWVJRd-S0n/s320/88.bmp" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Well fast forward about ten months.

At any given time I have 10 baby dolls in my living room occupying all of Kara's things. I wish I could capture just how cute it is, but hopefully I can retain it for memories sake.</span></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Kara is 8 weeks old today. OMG! Where does time go? She is already cooing and smiling back at you. I must have been stuck in a "New mommy fog" with Kendall because I do not remember her first coo's.

The last two months have been a whirlwind to say the least. Ricky was promoted and transferred and started immediately. He has been driving back and forth to Houston for almost a month now.<br />I am currently down in Houston on the hunt for another home. We have probably looked at 15 homes in person and a million online. BARF! We have found a few that would work for us but it is all about timing. We know the right house is out there for us and just continue to pray about it.<br /><br />On a much lighter note... We are having a baby!! This past Thursday September 20Th and the day Kendall turned 20 months we found out that we will add a new addition to our family. So far the estimated due date (EDD) is for May 25Th. Transferring to a new city means finding a new doctor and all so we have some work to do.<br /><br />I am really excited to get our blog up and running even if it meant getting a Gmail e-mail account and spending 30 minutes figuring out an eight digit password!!<br /><br />Talk to you real soon,<br /><br />Love always,</span>360 Degrees of the Hack Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06715729224876711342noreply@blogger.com0
