will be blessed

kambel jude gray turned 7 years old on march 11.  she wanted to go to chuck e. cheese with one of her friends.  easy enough.  kambel has always been pretty simple.  she is still laid back and very loving.  she cares so much about other people and their feelings.  she loves animals and is going to be a vet some day.  she works hard in school and would rather be outside exploring in the woods than inside any day.  she is a night owl.  she doesn't like getting up in the morning.  she loves chili.  she wants to be my little helper around the house.  she will snuggle you to death.  she is proud of her brother and sister and will protect them, unless they bother her.  she isn't scared to get dirty.  she will sit back and observe any new adventure then try it and master it on her own.  she loves to play barbies with her sister.  she is super creative with her coloring.  she has a beautiful heart and anyone to cross her path will be blessed.

cracks me up

super bowl fun!!  the four of us took a break and made little piggies of ourselves and ate pizza, chips and dips of all sorts.  it was fun!  ty entertained us while trying to smash a two-liter on his head.  he cracks me up.








best kids ever

many of you know that i am in the middle of becoming board certified in behavioral analysis.  there are a lot of hours to put in studying and taking classes. with eric gone in north carolina for a few months, things just tend to get behind.  well one particular night this feburary, this kiddos must have sensed my stress levels (or was sick of seeing dishes in the sink) and this is what i caught them doing:




they poured themselves a pre-dishes drink (evident in the previous photos) of sprite, then demonstrated how they drank it.  best kids ever.

as she should be

every nine weeks the kids' elementary school does a beautiful job of recognizing the accomplishments of the kids.  i finally remembered my camera and was able to snap a few of kambel at her ceremony.  she is so proud of herself - as she should be!
