A quick-ish picture update

I have been trying to decide how to do this update since it has been such a long time since I posted. I guess I will start with a few of the pictures Adam's sister took of us this October.






Here are a few of the kids who are always asking to play the violin. I won't let them touch mine but I have the ones from when I was little so we play fairly often just for fun.








Here are a few fun Halloween Pics. I sewed all of our costumes except mine. I had so much fun- especially on Adam's.










Now here are a few of Peter pan fighting Captain Hook and then the alligator who gets Hook.









Here are a couple from Adam's Birthday Party





And a couple from Christmas Eve... our Nativity:) Sadly we did not take tons of pics at Christmas I think My dad might have I will have to track them down. But for now...

















Needless to say, Caitlyn was in her element playing Mary and Jaron and Bryant had fun but took a lot more coaxing to not run away. :)

A few of Bryant and Caitlyn enjoying their new bikes- late birthday presents from Grandma and Papa Perkins






And finally some two year old isms both Pictorially and Verbally:)




These two pictures illustrate the lenghts the kids will go to have a basket to play in. Pull out a bazillion diapers and dump out my just folded laundry. Sigh.

Both kids singing " I got a snack of sugar" (instead of sack of sugar like mommy and daddy say.)

Both kids would say... "no way who-say!"

Fixing her own hair.

While talking to mom one morning Caitlyn tries out some new phrases:

Caitlyn: My pockets are hats.

Mom: Your pockets are hats huh?

Caitlyn: That is true. It’s gonna be so easy because it was like… she trails off.

Mommy made us come inside.

Quote:

Caitlyn: I’m A-pah (she has a diaper box on like a shirt.)

Dad: I don’t know who A-pah is- who is A-pah?

Caitlyn: Caitlyn is A-pah

As long as she has a hat and shoes and a baby she is happy.

Quote:

Caitlyn’s first true solo prayer 11/3/10 (I was expecting to help her but she just said it…)

Heavenly father thank you for this day thank you for the pancakes and the TV and the nuther Lorenzo in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I have no idea why, but when it comes to food, Bryant is ALWAYS messier :)


Oh, Thank You Caitlyn.

Quote:

Bryant: I want more macamoni cheese.

Broken Crib (both sides- sigh) from Bryant doing who knows what.


Attempt at new big kid beds.


After a week of naps getting worse and worse Mommy put cardboard in the crib holes and replaced them. This is a typical game. Great. Luckily even though they can get out they generally don't' when it is time to sleep.

Quote:

Caitlyn: I want more eggy-skievers.

(Kissing his toe better)

Quote:

Bryant: Heavenly Father, Thank you for this day, thank you for the pah-fet … (pause)

Daddy: Thank you for

Bryant: the food

Daddy: Please bless it

Bryant: to be good

Beautiful. Picture taken to keep Mommy laughing instead of yelling.


Thanks again Caitlyn.

Quote:

Mom: Do you guys want some cereal?

Bryant: Yay cereal! I love cereal she loves me (sung to the tune of I love mommy.)

(during lunchtime prayer) Mommy …and please bless daddy

Bryant: bless Daddy

Mommy: in the name…

Bryant no- he’s at work.

Yes he’s at work… in the name

Etc

Caitlyn: Jesus is at work too.

Mommy- he is huh- I guess you are right.

Bryant- where is Santa Claus?

Mommy- He is working too.

Bryant- no, he’s at the Pole.

Kids exercising with mommy


How did you know it was Me?

Quote:

Adam: Bryant did you know that your name is Bryant Adam Perkins? Can you say I am Bryant Adam Perkins?

Bryant: No

Adam: say Bryant

Bryant: Bryant

Adam: Adam

Bryant: Adam

Adam: Perkins

Bryant: Perkins.

Adam: Now say I am Bryant Adam Perkins

Bryant: I am Bryant daddy Perkins.

Typical Caitlyn- always pretending to be mommy of something- either a baby, Giraffe, a puppy, kitty, teddy bear or whatever.

Quote:

(Background- Caitlyn started a fire by pushing the boiling pot of water off the burner and replacing it with a hand towel. It was a very scary experience for mommy and Caitlyn.)

Caitlyn , a few days after the fire: mommy what was that beep? But where did it come from?

Mommy: do you mean the smoke alarm?

Caitlyn: Yeah. But, it was so serious.

Mom: yes, it was scary huh.

Caitlyn: Yeah, it was so serious. But I am done. It was so def-ih-ley (definitely).

Mom: Really?

Caitlyn: Yeah. I am so defily.

There she goes trying out new words again:)

Well, I will sign off now. We are happy and having fun. Hope you are too!
