"On this episode of Kev & Er Plus 2"

Well I am sure all of you have seen the TLC series, "Jon & Kate Plus", if you haven't then get out from under your rock! It's the funiest show about a couple that lives in Pennslyvania with 2 seven year olds and 6 three year olds. Yikes. I have had a pretty crappy week, at one time this week I was going to list ALL of the things that had stressed me out but what good would that do I guess. So on a more postivie note, here is what we have been up to this week:

From the looks of Colt, you would never think he was a picky eater. WRONG! I hate getting this kid to eat anything other than snacks. This was a beautiful sight yesterday, when he ate all of his lunch! I think he looks so much like Troy in these pictures...must be the eyes!

I think the worst part of this week has been the daily swim lessons with the kids. Many da ys I haven't even gotten out of my swim suit until about 4pm before Kev gets home from work. I haven't been able to get anything done while doing these lessons but they have been really fun. It's so fun to see Colt enjoy the water now! I love this picture of the 3 of us. Probably cause I never get pictures of just me with the boys cause I am always the one behind the camera!
Troy's sweet little friend, Madi Worthington, has given me a little peak into having a 3 year old girl instead of a boy. Wow, things would be different! Here are some of the highlight quotes from her 2 hour playdate:
"Your house is beeeaaauuuutiful!"
"Your car is so cute."
"I love all of your shoes, these are my favorite, no these are."
"Where are your girl dress ups?"
"Will you play princess with me? I will be the princess and you can be the witch."
"Where are the girl games to this LeapPad?"
"How do you get your toenails so shiny? Can you do mine like that?"
"My hands are dirty" while fingerpainting....it took a little while for her to get into it!
Madi is the cutest thing in the world and it was so fun having her over. She brightened up my day! I think she has a little crush on Troy, she told me that "Troy is always nice and never mean." At the end of the day, I love having Madi over but I still am glad I have boys!!!

My favorite quote from Maddie was the one about you getting to be the witch! How funny! I love the pic with you and your boys too! You are such a cute mom!

Maddie's quotes made me laugh out loud! The things I get to look forward to. Colt is starting to look a lot like Troy...very handsome boys, I think one of them needs to marry Kami, are arranged marriages not ok?! I love you guys and miss you!

What a fun week! It does sound a little stressful. I just finished 2 weeks of swimming lessons, took 2 weeks off, and Monday the girls start again. They LOVE it. Any chance to get in the water down here we take! Madi sounds so cute. I have a Madi too.

Hi! Thanks for posting. I knew your mom- she was so nice, and a great friend to Chris's mom. We were sad to see them move. Tell her we say hi!

Cass said...

So cute! You really are a great mom for those cute boys! Swim lessons were draining, but lots of fun! Troy was a super example for my boys...I'm so glad they're all friends!

Cute pictures Erin (the girl)! I hope you are slowly but surely de-stressing:) Can you send me your address so I can send you a wedding invitation? Leave it on my blog or email it--either way. Thanks!

Cute pictures! I hear you on the swim lessons every day and not geting anything accomplished! But the kids love it! Troy and Mady look so cute together. You'll need to save that pic just in case you need to put it in their wedding video!!

I totally feel like my days are crazy with swim lessons in the morning! Isn't that fun to have a little girl over to see how different they are from boys! I loved watching my little sis's 3 year old girl and doing her hair every day! One day maybe, hu?

Looks like you have been having lots of fun. I do want to come down and go swimming sometime this summer with you. Caden would love it!
