Two Basketball Games

Today was the first of many busy Saturday mornings. Kirsten had her first game, and she and one other little girl wanted to be held most of the game. Kirsten did get the running up and down the court. Kirsten did not want no part of the basketball. Cameron did very good and the confidence that he needed in the first game that he had towards shooting the ball, Cameron had that confidence today, he kept taking that ball and trying to make a basket, which he did make some of those shots.

My two basketball players, don't they just look so cute.

Kirsten's practice

Kirsten had her first practice today. She did really well as far as trying to do everything that she was told to do. Now when it came down to time to get into line and not having Nana's attention....yeah, not so much. She did not like sharing her Nana with the other players. Kirsten did not like Kacy coming and taking some Nana attention from her and now she has a basketball team. Here are a couple of pictures of my mom and Kirsten before the practice started. My mom is trying to teach Kirsten the proper way of shooting a basketball. I only got two pictures because Kirsten was acting like....Well I think you guys know how kids can act. She is only three and it was her first time having to share Nana with that many kids, wait I mean first practice. Hopefully, she will get better about getting into the line and stop the run and try to cling to Nana's ( Coach Omega's) leg.


A picture of Cameron doing his homework. He was a little annoyed that I was taking a picture of him doing his homework. I just never seem to get pictures of him throughout the week.

Under Mom's Nose

As sad as it might be to say, Kacy was sitting in my lap and getting into stuff. I was checking my email this morning and Kacy was getting into the ink cartridge. I changed the ink on the printer the other day and left the old ones just sitting on the desk. I know lazy. I put Kacy on the floor to go and play. I saw black stuff on her face and finally realized what she was up to.

Dress up

Here is another one of Kirsten's outfits. She says she's a Princess. Kacy's dress, Bubba's gym shorts, and her panties on her head. I have come to realize my daughter loves to have her picture taken, when she is dressed silly. She truly does have a beautiful smile when she wants to let people see it.

Painting

Kacy had her first experience in painting. She really did not know what to think. She liked being at the table with big Sis and doing big girl stuff.



Mommy help I got paint on my hand. She did not like the paint on her hand. She did do good in the fact that you paint what mom gives you and not yourself.


Kacy got some paint on her face, and she wanted it off immediately. One good side of Kacy not being like Kirsten. Kirsten could paint her entire body and love it.

The one on the left is Kacy and the one on the right is Kirsten's pony.

Daddy's Clothes

I like to wear Josh's t-shirts to bed or around the house. After church today I put on one of his t-shirts. Well, Kirsten the girl who puts on any one's and every one's clothes asks me "Mommy that's Daddy's shirt, why are you wearing Daddy's shirt? Can I wear one, too." She kept telling me that the t-shirt was Daddy's not mine. Later on she came to me and told me "I am wearing Daddy's shirt." She also has Bubba's stocking cap and swimming shorts on.

Kacy wanted her picture taken, too. They get along so good. Kacy wants to do every thing Kirsten does. Sometimes a good thing other times a bad thing.

Kirsten got a hold of the nail polish, and did she do a good job or what? Washing her hands got the nail polish off her hand. Don't think she just painted her nails.

Basketball & Outside Fun

This first picture is for the future YMCA basketball player and her coach. Kirsten first game will be Jan. 26 and Nana will be her coach. Kirsten was sooo excited to have Nana as her basketball coach, but she thought you got to live with your coach.

Cameron at his basketball game, I took more pictures and will have more to come from future games. Cameron is number 14.


Cameron loves to climb our trees and his picture to have some proof.




Daddy told Kirsten to show her teeth, it's just the prettiest smile you ever saw.

Kirsten

Well, everyone else have kids that just smile so pretty for the camera. Kirsten will barely look at me. If I take her some where she just cries and cries, as soon as she is put in front of the camera. Anyways, here is my 3 year old little girl.

Just Sharing

Well, Cameron first basketball game was today. He started the season off good. He is really good in the defense area, but he still needs to build up some confidence with his offense. I know he has it in him because he shoots and makes goals all the time at home. He did make one basketball goal that I saw (2 girls...dad working). In the games to come Josh is suppose to have the game time off. Every few minutes Kirsten was asking to go to the bathroom. My parents were there and my mom kept telling me to take Kacy with us, she needs to go potty too. I took Kacy, but she just walked around the bathroom & made faces in the mirror. Just to let you know a bit of info on my Mom, She feels and believes if a kid can walk and talk, they are old enough to go potty. She had us pottied trained by two, So "no excuses." At least that's always what she tells me, my brother and his kids she says nothing. Personally I believe and feel the package change just gets to nasty, smelly and etc after a certain age, and potty training then becomes a priority. There is an age for everyone when it happens, and everyone it is probably a different age. I think this is what happened to my mom and that's why she makes the comment "they can walk & talk, they can be pottied." Her age is 2 and she watches my kids more than my brothers kiddos. Well anyways, I finally started listening to my husband and letting Kacy sit on the potty when she asked. Which usually when sister or I am going. I started Thursday evening & it is now Saturday evening and Kacy has pottied in the potty twice. The comments made Annie has me feeling relief that when I start,it will go by fast. Sandy makes me come back to reality and you just never know. Cameron had it in two months and Kirsten had it in 6 months. I thought girls were easier, maybe Kacy might prove that statement in me. I am just happy that Kacy has already went in the potty. Hey, you know what would be awesome.... if Kacy got pottied trained before I actually start. I can dream.......right. :) A bit of info on Kirsten, she likes wearing other people's clothes or none at all. She has finally got over the nothing but scooby, and an occasional "Beauty and The Beast" will be OK. When we sing songs, she shakes that booty. It is kinda weird singing "Jesus loves me" and my daughter is shaking the booty. The booty has to be way high in the air, too. Back to Cameron's game, I know I have been jumping all around on my topics, BORED. The girls slept a lot today. I should have pictures to post from the next game, Josh should be there. Then I can actually breathe and take pictures.

Peace & Quiet

I think we all have stories where we lost our kid. I think we would all like for the story to end like this one did. Cameron asked to watch a movie and I said he could as long as he put a movie on for Kirsten in his room. Well after about 5 minutes of quiet, I thought I would check on things. I could not find Kirsten. I asked Cameron where she was, he say his room. I looked all over the house. I finally found Kirsten in Kacy's bed sleeping peacefully.

It's Spiderman!!!!!

Well, not exactly spiderman it is indeed Kirsten. Kirsten gets her shirt wet and she says she has to change. Which means change her complete outfit. She comes back looking like this and says "look I'm spiderman." Wearing her panties on her head and Bubba's underwear as pants. Some of the things this girl puts on herself and calls an outfit gives me a good laugh. I really need to start taking pictures of her and then when I get enough (which would not take long), I should post pictures of Kirsten's dress up.



In this picture she is trying to act scared

A Mothers Dream

When I started potty training Kirsten my Mom tells me "girls are SOOO easy" and that I was completely potty trained and wearing panties at 18 months. She says it only took 2 weeks. If only all children are like that, I think every mother would have their kid potty trained at 18 months. Kacy turns 18 months next month, and she is already asking to go potty. She says "I go pee". I will tell her "OK go pee pee" and Kacy will start trying to pull her pants down as she walks to the bath room. I have not yet done or tried anything in potty training Kacy. So,if kids can actually potty train in two weeks and be wearing big girl panties by 18 months. I think Kacy might/ could do it. Here is a picture of Kacy's first time sitting on the potty, and just to let you know I am not starting potty training.....yet:) I will probably start actually taking it serious at the beginning of March. Josh says if Kacy wants to sit on the potty, that I should let her. So, for now I am letting her sit on the potty like big Sis.
