Kids and Mom!

I haven't had any pictures with the kids in a while so here are some updates!

Tree Stump

We had to get a tree stump ground up the other week. A tree fell over before we bought the house and a neighbor cut it all down. So Trevor and Kendall were out there raking it out and bringing all the mulch to the back yard. It has been so nice out here this past week. We were both on vacation last week so we got to work around the house a bit.

Camden is Crawling

Well it's official! Camden has mastered crawling. For a while now he was just army crawling but last week he finally figured out the leg part of it! It is getting crazier in our house since he is more mobil and can get into more things. Kendall is not liking it since he is starting to mess with her books and toys. But she will get used to it. I'm trying to teach her to call me if he is bugging her and not just yell at him to get away. We'll see if that works! Ha.

Pictures of Kids

Here are some updated pictures of the kids!

New House!

Hey Everyone -
We are finally moved into our first home! We are so excited to finally be in. It was a long and growing process but God has blessed us in the end for our patience. Here are some photos of it so far. There is still a lot more work to be done especially on the outside so I'll put updated photos up later of that progress. Thanks for all of your prayers they have been so helpful.

Update on Kids

Kendall...wow where to start with this girl. She is just too smart for our own good! She is still a little peanut and not growing hair very fast still. People keep telling me that it will come. I'm still waiting but not holding my breath. We are going to see Sesame Street Live on Saturday. So I will update more about that next week sometime. She loves to sing, read, watch the disney channel, color and so much more.
Camden will be six months already on the 10th. I can't even believe how quickly time is flying by. He is growing like a weed and soon will be heavier than Kendall! Yes it's true. He is starting to army crawl everywhere to get where he wants to go. He is also starting to steal kendall's toys and she is not too thrilled with that. He just found out he can make a "b" sound so all we have been hearing lately is bah bah bah bah. So that is fun! The biggest achievement to report on is that he is finally sleeping through the night! Thank you Jesus! It only took 6 months but he has finally mastered it. So we are finally catching up on some much needed sleep.
Still no final news on the house purchase. I'll update more on that when I can.

Play Time

Kendall is a major book worm which is good I guess except when she wants you to sit and read to her all day long and doesn't let you get anything else done around the house. She will pile up the highest pile of books and "read" to herself pretty well too. She knows all the names of books and you can hear her "reading" and saying words that we say on the pages. It is really cute. She also wants to play with whatever Camden is doing. She doesn't like when he has fun with out her. So here is her trying to be under his gym with him at the same time.

Trevor with the kids

Here are just a few pictures of Trevor hanging out with the kids. They are some cute pictures. We are still working on getting the house. We are going to give them a deadline and say we are walking away from it if they don't start getting somewhere on closing. We'll keep you posted.

Rock Star Kendall

Kendall loves to hold Trevor's Guitar Hero game guitar. She is following in her daddy's footsteps. She tries to play the game by just pushing buttons but doesn't make it very far! Ha! I'll let you know when she writes her first song.

Christmas Time

Sorry this is so late posted but we haven't had the internet with my parents so I am finally doing it here at work. Here are just a couple of pictures of Christmas. The kids in their Christmas outfits and also Kendall opening some Christmas presents. She was really overwhelmed with all the gifts and she was just in love with all of the books that she got.

Still Homeless...

Well we are still waiting for our house to close. We are starting to think that it might never happen. It is getting very frustrating. My parents have been great to let us live with them it's just hard to stay consistent with the kids with 4 of us watching them and I feel bad letting the baby cry at all during the night so we are back to feeding during the night which isn't what I would like to be doing. So please be praying that it all happens soon so that we can have our own home and settle down finally. Thanks! Oh yeah and my parents don't have the internet or a computer so we can't post as much as we would like. I'll do it from work when I can.

Homeless at Christmas

Well, the house we are planning to buy still hasn't closed and we need to be out of the house we are living in this weekend. So we are homeless for the holidays. Boo Hoo! We are going to be moving in with my parents for a while until this all works out so I guess we aren't really homeless but it feels like we are very unsettled. Please be praying that we still can get the house and that we can close soon as soon as possible.

Mornings at the Kaufmans!

Our mornings usually start at 7:00 around here which isn't too bad I must say. Kendall loves to snuggle with Daddy when he is up. He usually is the one who gets to sleep in since I have to feed the baby anyways. So he is the lucky one who gets to sleep in. Then he usually transfers to the couch with Kendall.

Kendall's 2nd Birthday

We still can't believe that Kendall is 2 years old now. These two years have just flown by. She is such a smart girl. She knows all her colors, she can do some harder puzzles, she sings all her nursery rhymes and sunday school songs, and is even wanting to get herself dressed. Sometime she comes out with her pants on backwards but she gets them on. Kendall wanted a Mickey Mouse cake for her birthday. She was so excited to blow out the candles that she blew them out as soon as we started the song. And then we had to sing the song 4 times so she could do it again. It was a really great party. Thanks to everyone who came and shared in her special day.

Trevor in Eyeliner!!

I know that this looks so funny but I'll post the whole picture later when I get it. At Rush Hour tonight which is our High School program at the Hub they had a pirate night and Trevor had the best Jack Sparrow costume I have ever seen. The great thing about it is that he put it all together in parts and didn't just buy a already made pirate costume. This is afterwards when he thought that he looked mean and scary with the eyeliner and gotee still on. He definitely looks more like a rock star that's for sure.

Thanksgiving Day

I forgot my camera when we went to my parents house for dinner but I did get a picture of Kendall watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade that morning. She loves parades and was loving all the characters, balloons, singing and dancing. She is definitely going to be a performer of some sort when she is older. Camden is also smiling more and more and starting to coo and make lots of noises. I love watching them go through all these life stages. He is such a blessing.

Snuggle Time

I set Camden into Kendall's crib the other night while I was tucking her in and praying with her. The only problem was that she didn't want me to take him out. She wanted to sleep with him. I told her that maybe when they were older that they could snuggle together but that he was still too little. She understood but it was so sweet that she wanted to snuggle with him. She does so well with him. I am so very proud of her!

Happy Halloween

Well we made it through another Halloween night now with two kids to dress up and take out. Kendall all week was saying "no Nemo" so we didn't think we would be able to get her to put on her Little Nemo costume but we kept telling her that if she wanted to go and get candy then she needed to wear it. After a few houses she was loving every minute of it and wanting people to give her more than one piece of candy. Camden slept most of the time but he was in his little pumpkin pajamas. I was holding his little basket so that I could still get some candy to eat! We also carved some pumpkins at the last minute this afternoon while Trevor and I were both home all day with the kids. Trevor did one with the stem as the nose which turned out really cute. Hope you all had fun as well.
