We made a trip to Colorado this past week. Driving across country with 3 kids and morning sickness, we have reached a whole new level of crazy! Not really, the kids did AWESOME! I am still shocked because Amari hates the car, but she did great. Of course the drive was worth it to see my cute nephews. The kids played like crazy and had a blast. I loved hearing Jordan talk in person. He is this 4 year old tough guy with the highest pitched voice you have ever heard. All week he was pretending to be "Cakeboss" and would build us cakes out of legos, then pose really great. I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with the older two boys, you see when Pantera is around we are all chopped liver, but that's the way it should be. All in all it was a great trip, just sad that it is over with. Coming up: My first Dr appointment for baby #4, at least there had better be a baby in there or I will be pretty ticked to be so miserable for nothing...I'm only half way joking here. Ms. Amari turns 1!!! Let the weaning begin.

Bang Rebellion
Yesterday we were having dinner prayers. As a mother who has to be vigilant around the clock, I have learned to pray with one eye open. Sweet little Amari was folding her arms!!! They are so chubby and cute, it made my day. Today at church her Aunt Samarah was holding her while standing next to my dad. He was talking to someone else and I guess Amari wanted his attention so she leaned over and gave Papa a kiss, made his day. She has started playing peek-a-boo with her ears covered instead of her eyes, just like Zeke used to do. Meredith got her these super cute jammies and now that she is thinning out :( they fit.
Zeke, Zeke, Zeke. Way to cute for his own good. The other night my parents and sister were over for dinner. As we are eating, Zeke gets up, takes his plate and just smiles at us. He walks smiling all the way to the trash and throws his dinner away. Then happily puts his plate in the sink. He was so cute about it that everyone present just said "Awww, look he put his plate away!" And he grinned from ear to ear. Pantera tried to copy him and we all quickly told her to sit down, double standard I guess.
A couple weeks ago, my sister Samarah was trying on some of my clothes to wear to some school function (I mainly added this to tell you that although I have 3 kids, I am still cool enough that my teenage sister wants to borrow clothes) she came out modeling her super cute outfit. Pantera looks at her and says "Who are you suppossed to be, Punxatawny Phil?" I laughed so hard!
We have been trying to train her bangs to go off to the side. She told me that "This side of my head is like Jerusalem and this side is like the Promised land. My bangs are like Laman and Lemuel." Great analogy.

11 months and a little news
Amari is 11months old today! I can say this was the most difficult photo shoot I have done with her to date. She was all over the place. She has only been really crawling for a few weeks, but holy smokes she is fast!!! She is this cute little destructive whirlwind, that I can hardly keep up with. She puts absolutely everything in her mouth, I know everyone says that about babies but I am serious. I have never seen a kid who likes to chew on things more then her.
Amari also LOVES babies. My friend brought her 2 month old over the other day and she was trying to pick him up and was loving on him. That makes me happy seeing as she is going to be a big sister in November (they will be 19 months apart just like she and Zeke!).
Look at that face...you would never think she was a stinker, but she likes to pick on her siblings, alot.
It makes me kinda sad to think she will be one soon. Why do they have to grow up so fast?

Scrub brush
My last post had no Zeke pics so I thought I would make up a little. He cracks me up. I absolutely feel lucky everyday that I am his mom (I feel this about all my kids:). He has been into Stars Wars lately, he loves Darth Vader and pronounces his name "Bebe Bader." He loves to walk around the house with his Darth Vader mask and scare everyone with the dark side of the force. The other day I told him to "Lay down now!" for the next 15 minutes he was saying "Now, now, now!" in different vocal inflections, it was like he just figured out he could say it, love it! He also loves his cars and has been saying "Ca-chow" alot. Today he was sitting on the toilet, eating an otter pop (this is normal at our house btw) and he sweetly offered Amari "A bipe" then laughed as she ate some "is money!" I taught him to scrub the toilet yesterday, you would have though I handed him a million dollars when I gave him the toilet brush! He swirled it around with the biggest grin I have ever seen, yep he's all boy.
