Racing and random stuff

 Cohen is my little tortoise. He definitely goes at his own speed and it can drive me and Dallas nuts. He also is in his own little world sometime which can be frustrating as well. In school he hates writing in his journal so he just stares off into space and doesn't get his work done. Because of that the teacher sends home a paper ever day that has a red light for no work done, a yellow light for some work done and a green light if he gets all his work done. Whenever he gets a red or yellow light he has to come home and do chores. I almost like it because it helps me with my house work. Here Dallas is teaching him how to vacuum

 Decorating their haunted gingerbread house.

 Brinley is excited for the races.
 Cohen has races Saturday morning and practice Friday nights. Instead of having to drive up so much we decided to camp in the parking lot. Unfortunately Cohen was not feeling great Thursday and Friday and was going to the bathroom ALOT. We even had to stop and let him go in the trailer on the way there and Dallas had to go and buy more underwear for this poor kid. That night while we were camping Cohen was sleeping on the top bunk when all of a sudden I heard him starting to throw up. I yelled for Dallas to help him down and as Dallas started to get out of the bottom bunk all this throw up came over the beds. All over the bottom of my bed, Cohen's top bunk Dallas' bottom bunk and pillow. Oh it was awful. We got most of it cleaned up and all went back to bed. We woke up and he was feeling a tiny bit better but was still having to go to the bathroom alot. He decided he wanted to race and lets just say it wasn't his best race. But the poor kid raced. I certainly wouldn't have after feeling that crappy so I'm proud of him. But it was definitely a rough day for everyone!









 Love these silly girls!

 Brinley loves kisses!

 I took Brin to her 4 month check up and she is just a tiny little thing. She is 12.72 lbs which puts her in the 19th percentile. She gained just over 1 pound in two months which isn't great.  She is 24 inches which puts her in the 28th percentile and her head circumference is 14% Pretty much I am starting to lose my milk which just kills me. I have always had issues with my milk. Cohen I only lasted 2 weeks and Kenz I last almost 7 months so my goal with Brin was to make it past 7 months but I just don't think it's in the cards for me. The hard part about it is Brinley will not take a bottle and she just doesn't eat much. We are trying our best. I am still trying to nurse her since that's the only way she will take it and then I will try a couple of times a day to give her a bottle. Luckily I have a lot of breast milk in the freezer which helps but I wish she would take it from the bottle! Little stink! We go back in a month to check on her growth and we will go from there.
 Kenzley found my chocolate stash. I guess it's not a bad thing since I am on a diet trying to lose my baby weight.

 Cohen had crazy hair day and he wanted 5 mohawks so there you go!
 Kenzley also wanted a mohawk and this was as close as I could get to one and she loved it!







Fall Break

 For fall break my brothers wife was out of town so he was staying home from work to spend time with Jackson. He invited us to meet him at the Dinorsaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point and we were excited because we have never been there. Cohen was excited to be apart of Friday Fun day. He is usually at school and since he didn't have school this Friday he was able to come. We met them out the Museum and walked through it, it was pretty fun! A little expensive but still fun!






 They were loving creating their own dinosaur. CJ and Cohen had a dinosaur head.



 They put a tail on me!
 And Cohen





 Where's Cohen?!
 That foot is bigger than Cohen!


 What kid doesn't like to play with water and dirt!



 This is the only picture I could get of all three of them looking at me!


 That is one big turtle!
 Aren't they so cute!
 Cheese!
 Ahhh



 Afterward we went and grabbed lunch. Then I took the kids to classic skating I had said we could go the day before but ran out of time so I figured I needed to keep my word and take them!
 After classic skating I still had fun stuff planned. We went and got Katie and Lola and we went to Jakers Pumpkin Patch to play around since it was such a gorgeous day!

 Kenz and Lola in the maze

 The kids trying to find their way out. Kenz cheated and climbed up to see where to go.


 I don't know why kids always find some place to jump off into something!


 This is the first time that Brinley has ever fallen asleep in Dallas' arms. I needed to document it. We also were babysitting Kobe.

 This is Kenzley's preschool. Her teacher decorates so cute! There is even a blow up haunted house!
 Sisters!

 One night Dallas and my friends husband took the boys and kenz to practice dirtbiking. So me and Camie took the babies out and we walked through quilted bear and went out to eat. It is so much easier with just one baby and it was so much fun to hang out with Camie!
