Julie is such a good mom! I knew she was good with kids, she has helped me for years! But it is great to see her as a "mommy" with her own baby! She is a natural. I love this picture of her! She is soooooo happy!

Me and MAK
I am in Texas, hanging with my baby, MAK (Mosiah Alan Kilgore). Oh, and Julie-my favorite sister. I get to snuggle him, and feed him at night (so Jule-bean can get some sleep) and change his bum (cute when they are so small). I am having a ball!
MAK and his many faces!!!His "bellybutton" fell off last night, but yesterday (Saturday) he needed a sponge bath and a shampoo. Poor Julie-I remember having Aunt Chan come help me with Hudson's first bath-she did awesome! He was not sure at first, but he seemed to enjoy it after the shock wore off. When his hair is wet it is a little curly! LOVE THIS GUY!
Julie and MAK (just gettin started)

Gonna Be a Bear
In this life I'm a woman. In the next life, I'd
like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear,
you get to hibernate. You do nothing
but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat
yourself stupid. I could deal with that, too.
When you're a girl bear, you birth your children
(who are the size of walnuts) while you're
sleeping and wake up to partially grown cute,
cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.
If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you
mean business. You swat anyone who bothers
your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you
swat them, too. I could deal with that.
If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to
wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you
will have hairy legs and excess body fat.
Yup, gonna be a bear!

WIERD WHITE KIDS
We have had a couple of“weird kid”things at our house this last month. I'll do them in order.
THOMAS
One day, Thomas comes home from school saying that he needs a new backpack because his has a huge hole in it. I knew it was wearing out, but had figured he would make it through the rest of the year.
Well, yeah, when you drag home a 15 pound rock walking home from school, your backpack will wear out faster.
(This is a #10 food- storage can, to show how really big this rock is!!!)
HUDSON
Every month, Hudson has a category of book that he has to read and do a report on. In February he had to read a biography, and then make a puppet of his character.
We went to the library and found several ideas, but in the end he decided to learn about Wyatt Earp. Very cool old-west law-man. We all learned a lot about him.
So, on to the puppet. He asks me 2 days before it is due if he could make his puppet out of a banana. SERIOUSLY! I told him I didn’t know if that would really be a puppet, so to ask his teacher.
She said that he could do it however he wanted. That is how Wyatt Earp turned into a banana.
He cut off the top (stem) of the banana, and covered it with a small piece of cardboard, so it would stand straight. He glued on googley-eyes, and made a mustached out of pipe-cleaner. This we tried to glue, but had to also pin in place.
The hat was by fat the hardest part. We used a toilet paper roll, and crushed in the top, then hot glued it (with only minor burns). Then he cut a piece of cardboard with a hole in the bottom, and glued the top on to it. Add another piece of pipe-cleaner, glue and pin it to the “banana head” and you have a cowboy hat!!!
TA-DA Wyatt Earp. I happened to be volunteering in class that day, and Hudson’s puppet was by far the coolest, and most creative. Most of the others were brown paper bags with internet pictures glues on!!! LAME!
Now, back to Thomas.
He has had 2 loose teeth for a couple of months, but he hasn’t been proactive with getting them out. One day I went to volunteer in his class (I love being able to do that). His teacher informs me that he had pulled out his tooth that day. I know the teachers must LOVE that!
2 nights later the tooth fairy came and left him $1.00
He must have decided that since his allowance for the month was gone, that he should yank that other tooth, so 2 days after having the tooth fairy visit, he yanks the other one (at 9pm).
The tooth fairy is really busy, so it took her 2 nights to bring him the other $1.00, but it was worth it. Now my cute boy has some gaps! (I apologize for the picture of the tooth…but Thomas insisted!!)
