Bear's a Panda Bear

We give our kids nicknames in our family. Robbie is rob-bob or robbie-bobbie (based off of Chris's nickname-if you don't know that one you'll have to ask him if you want to know), Jace is Jacer, nothing too fancy, Barrette is Bear, just a shorter version, and Kendra is...well, I can think of many names that we call her (Miss Priss, crazy, gum-a-holic) but nothing based on her name.

I'm really thankful for my kids. Each one of them are different, each of them have some similarities in personality. And I really love them the same, yet different way. Our newest one, Bear is so sweet. Easy-going baby like Robbie was-very smiley, very laid back. He's fun to dress, not as fun as a girl, but since I work at a kids clothing store, I make do with the boys section while I have the chance. When I had the chance I snapped some photos of him. This was my favorite line from the newborn panda collection that we bought so much of before we even thought of having another (well, before I thought of having another, Chris on the other hand was for SURE having another!)

We are Party Animals!

November and December are not just crazy with holidays, but lots and lots of parties! Robbie turned 11 and we celebrated his birthday with a football party for him and his friends. He made $75 that day in cash alone! Wow! He got his Webelos and Arrow of Light Awards. This last weekend we had Kendra's Birthday then went to the Might Mites Special Forces party that night, and then hosted the Bond family Xmas party the next night. Next weekend we've got the Jr. PeeWee Special Forces party and UofP work party too! I don't know how many more parties we can take! But if you have a party and have an invitation for us, I'm sure we'll be there...
