Recent Videos...

Here are a few videos from the past week. One is of Katelyn as a "shopping clerk". She came up with this routine at Laura's (daycare) and we just thought it was hilarious. Next is a video of Katelyn helping mommy get the Hershey Kisses ready to put in the cookies once they got out of the oven. Grandma, Mimi, Katelyn and mom had a ball making cookies for everyone (plus we got to here about them the rest of the weekend from Katelyn!). Finally the last video is of Katelyn playing with her brother Cameron. I realized I didn't have much of his laughter on the blog and since that is what he spends the majority of his time doing I figured I better get it on here. He is constantly got a smile on his face and laughing at one of us.

Do I have something on my face???

Here are a couple pictures from one of Cameron's first attempts to eating cereal....or at least we think he was trying to get some in his mouth....
He has watched us very closely over the past two months when we are eating or drinking at the table. If he is sitting in your lap, he will literally watch your fork all the way from the plate to your mouth. We had to wait until just recently to make the transition to cereal and boy is he eager to get the spoon in his mouth. He is very good about opening up wide, but we are still working on the swallowing bit (as you can see). He likes to blow out through his lips (another trick he has mastered in the past month) once he gets some food is his mouth. I'm convinced he knows exactly what he is doing!!!
You can click on each picture to enlarge it if you would like to see it up close (only if you dare!!)
So much fun....

Thanksgiving...

What a break it was....We had all kinds of family down to Garden City for the holiday. Katelyn and Cameron were so excited to spend a couple of days with Great Papa and Mimi. They also filled a full Thanksgiving day with Aunt Deb, Uncle Chuck, Aunt Annette and Uncle Duane. Both Katelyn and Cameron took quite a liking to Deb and Annette. Of course Deb won Katelyn over with her pictures of her dogs and Annette was busy giving Katelyn quarters to play with!! :) JK. Katelyn is still talking about her day with all of you!!! She wakes up and asks if she will get to see you today! :) Uncle Craig and Aunt Ashley also made it down Friday through Sunday. Grandma always hates it when Ashley comes to town - we all know where to find Katelyn.....hanging on Ashley!!! I know she puts up with a lot, but Katelyn sure adores her!
As always Katelyn was extatic to see her cousin Ethan - who she refers to as: "my best friend". We don't get to see him very often with everyone's busy schedules so she is always excited to play with him!!
Here is a video clip of some of the pictures I have so far. I'm hoping to get a few more from Scott and Angie or Grandma. Love you all!!!

Sleeping Beauties....

Visit from up North...

Katelyn and Cameron really enjoyed a visit from their Grandma Pat and Grandpa Al from Canada in early November. Grandma and Grandpa Barrett got to spend some quality time with the kids during the week as Lee and Jenni had to go to work. We are all looking forward to traveling up north soon to meet our new nephew Blake Barrett!
