Christmas 2010

So Sutter's First Christmas has come and gone and it makes me so sad.He is growing so much.I would guess that he is close to 18 lbs now and we go to the doctor at the end of January for his shots and well baby check up.We started him on some solids this week and he is doing great.Brayden said"Mommy Sutter has a big belly" I said that is because he eats so well.I wish Brayden would eat like Sutter.Brayden is still tiny and sometimes I think if his belly was swollen he would look like those poor kids you seen on TV.I guess when you have as much energy as he does and then put a picker eater on top of that you get a tiny kid.

Well Christmas was wonderful we spent Christmas Eve with Corey's family in LaGrange and then headed to Cullman Christmas Morning where we got to play in tons of Snow.Brayden wished for snow every night this whole month and I am so glad he got the one wish Mommy and Daddy could not fulfill.We are looking Forward to 2011 and what it will bring for our Family.I can't believe in July Brayden will be 5 and headed to kindergarten and Sutter will turn 1.Time is flying by but we are so blessed and I thank God everyday for keeping us Happy and Healthy.

Sutter and Brayden

Sutter had his 4 month check up yesterday.He is 8lbs 11oz and 26 inches long.He is in the 90th percentile for height and 75 percentile for weight.He has gained exactly 8 pounds since Birth.He is not to big on tummy time and so he hasn't rolled over yet.However he loves sitting up and Dr.Smalley said we might just by pass rolling over and that is fine.His reflux is under control for the moment and he is such a happy baby.We are so lucky to have our two little guys.


Of Course we Can't leave out Big Brother.He is getting to be such a big boy it makes me so sad to think he will be headed to Kindergarden next year.He is spelling up a storm and is so ready to go to big School.Thats what he calls it not me.Now if only I can get ready for that big day.I think this pic sums Brayden up perfectly.

Brothers

I am sitting here enjoying the silence as both boys are in bed and Corey is still at work.I rarely find these moments to myself, but I wouldn't have it any other way.I am so happy to watch my two boys grow up together.Brayden just loves his little brother so much.He already gets on Sutter's play mat and plays with his little baby toys with him.I know they are going to grow up and be best friends and always be there for one another.I hope that they will always love and appreciate each other and if one is ever in trouble the other one will always be there to help them out(I mean we are talking about boys here,they will be in trouble LOL).I feel very lucky to be these boys Mother and I look forward to watching their relationship grow and watch them grow up to be amazing young men.


I've been blessed to have
A brother like you,
You're my pal, my buddy
And my best friend too.
And it means a lot
Having a brother like you.

Happy Halloween!

Well the boys had a great time this weekend.Well I know Brayden did for sure.He dressed up as Buzz Lightyear and so of course Brother had to be Hamm(cork and all).Brayden keep asking us where he could stick his coins in.LOL Oh I love 4 year olds.Anyways we trick or treated on Sunday and had a Halloween Party on Saturday so we had a very bust weekend.Here are a few of my favorite photos.

Sutter is 3 months old

Man time really flies by.I can't believe Sutter is already 3 months old and is no longer considered a newborn.He is such a good baby and besides his little silent reflux problem he is doing great.He smiles all the time and talks up a storm.Brayden was not this lively at this age.I think I am in for in when these two finally get to play together.I think Brayden prays every night that Baby Brother will start walking tomorrow so they can run around together.

Family Picture Time

Well since we are done having our babies we decided it was family picture time.We have not had a professional photo of the family since Brayden was 4 months old.So we were long overdue.I think they turned out great.

Auburn Football

Our favorite time of there is here and we are enjoying every minute of it.Brayden and Sutter have loved tailgating this year.Sutter is having a few tummy issues this week and we are hoping that he is not following in his brothers footsteps with the Milk allergy thing.Keep him in your prayers please.Brayden is doing really well at school and has finally quit asking when he is going back to his old school.We are so proud of them both.We are also enjoying this cooler weather this week and when I went to put Brayden's jacket on today I didn't want to zip it and give him that cute layered look.He looked at me and said "But Mom all the kids zip there sweaters."I thought that wasn't suppose to happen for a few more years.LOL Also our dog Molly is not doing to good and we need her in your prayers as well.She is my first baby and I have had her since she was 5 weeks old she will be 10 on St. Patty's day.I hope that we have her around for a little while longer.I'm not ready to give her to the good Lord yet.

Sutter is Here

Sutter Thomas Kinder came into the world via c-section on July 19th 2010.He weighed in at 8lbs 11oz and was 21 inches long.He is such a good baby and we are enjoying every minute with him.His Big Brother Brayden also turned four on July 20th so we have a lot to celebrate right now.Here are a few pics of Sutter that were taken on Monday by the talented Amy McDaniel.

28 & 30 weeks

Ok so I have been very busy and very tired lately.Her I am at 28 weeks.I was still feeling pretty good here.

Now I am 30 weeks and some days and I feel like July is just around the corner.We have finally picked out a paint color for Sutters Room and Corey is going to be painting soon.I have to get to work on my projects for his room and plan Brayden's 4th Birthday party all before July 4th.I have a feeling the rest of May and June are going to go by super fast.

26 weeks and Picnic

Well I am 26 weeks.One more week to go and I will be in my third trimester.So crazy how fast this pregnancy has gone.I felt like I was pregnant forever with Brayden.We had a great weekend spent with great friends.We had a picnic with my Mommies Group and we couldn't have picked a more beautiful day.

24 weeks and Easter

Well I am 24 weeks today on Easter Sunday.We had a great weekend with my family.I am so thankful that they came and shared the weekend with us.I love you all so much.

23 weeks and Easter Eggs

Well I am 23 weeks and getting more uncomfortable but that is to be expected.Other than that I am doing great and Sutter is starting t really move in there.So tonight our good friends Celeste and Brooks came and dyed Easter Eggs with us.This was the first year Brayden really got into it with me.I was so proud of his work.

Celeste's Baby Shower

20 Weeks.

We I turn 20 weeks tomorrow.I can't believe I am half way there.I am so excited to meet Sutter and watch him and Brayden grow up together.But I am enjoying these last few months with Brayden and I do get sad sometimes that he won't be the baby anymore.He will always be my baby but not to everyone else.But he does get to be the Big Brother,he is thrilled about that.LOL Here is a pic room this week.He was wearing Daddy's tie around the house.He is getting to big.

Back By Popular Demand!

Here is Brayden.I have left him out of several post lately.Poor little guy!He is doing great and he his having a great week at school celebrating Dr.Seuss Week.Tomorrow is wear your Wackiest Tackiest outfit.We have a great one picked out.I will get a pick tomorrow night and post it this weekend.Here are some pics from a play date we had a couple of weekends ago.Plus some from when we had our BIG SNOW!

Baby Kinder Has A Name!

Well our second baby boy finally has a name.After 3 weeks of going back and forth and a huge name war, we finally have a winner.It is really funny how it all came about the name just popped into my head on Saturday night.I asked Corey if he liked it, he immediately said yes.I started to google the name to finding its meaning.It is not common for a first name so there was no meaning.But as a last name it meant Shoemaker.Which most of you know is my maiden name.Corey looked at me and said it was meant to be.We can't wait to meet SUTTER THOMAS KINDER!

18 weeks

I am sorry for the blurry picture.It is getting harder and harder to take them myself.Corey is going to have to start helping me.LOL I will update with some pics of Brayden after we go to the park tomorrow.We went today but I left my camera at home.We have to enjoy this beautiful weather we are having before it is gone again.But for now here is one of him trying to get in the photo with Mommy.Look at the bottom right hand corner.
