Kaybree the lover

By
Kaybree,

I love how loving you can be! You're getting really good at hugs and kisses. One time you even asked ME for a kiss, which was new and exciting! Hugs and kisses for mom and dad is my favorite part of our bedtime routine. You know it so well that after we pray, we hug and kiss. Sometimes I know you use hugs and kisses to extend your bedtime. You give me a hug and kiss, then Dad gets a hug and kiss and then you run back to me for another hug and kiss and then immediately run to Dad. You know it makes us laugh and we never turn down a chance to love you so yes, it does get you five more minutes of awake time.
I also love it when I'm carrying you somewhere and you hold on real tight.That let's me know you love me and are excited to be with me.
I think I just love feeling you little toddler hands and arms on me when you are not being whiny but just loving. Lately you've decided you like to do my hair. You run up behind me when I'm sitting on the ground and just move it around. It feels good for the most part so I let you.
You've been an amazing big sister to Eisley. I was so afraid because when I first got pregnant you did NOT like babies but you love Eisley. Every time I pick her up, you want to hold her. Every time I say something to her, you say something to her too.

This one makes me laugh. You were holding her, watching TV and then you peak over and see her trying to suck her hand, so you stop sucking your own thumb to move her hand away from her mouth--and then you go back to sucking your thumb. You're very loving but bossy too ;)

Lately I've been giving the two of you baths together. It makes it easier on me. I put the baby tub inside the big tub and unplug it so when I fill up the big tub the baby tub is filled too. Then I set Eisley in the seat of the baby tub and you in the big tub. She loves watching you play in the water. She smiles and coos the whole time you two are in the bath. She just kicks and relaxes in the warm water and you just play with cups and bowls. Sometimes I walk away for a second and come back to find Eisley with bubbles  on her head or a wash cloth covering her belly. She loves it and so do you! It's so sweet.
The first few times I put you in together this would happen. You both end up in the baby tub. I think now Eisley is kicking too much so you don't enjoy being in there with her as much but you still like having her in the tub with you.

Eisley babysitting

By
Eisley had her first solo babysitting gig tonight. She and kaybree babysat together over the summer and that same family asked if Eisley could babysit for them and Kaybree babysit for their friends while they went to a game night tonight. Kaybree’s job ended up canceling but Eisley still got to go. The kids were already asleep when she got there, so she just had to sit around and wait. The job was supposed to be done at 10:30 but I got a text from the mom around 10:20 asking if 11 would be OK.  “I texted Eisley but didn’t hear back so just wanted to make sure it was OK!” I said yes, of course, but then my mind got spinning. Why didn’t Eisley text back? I sent her a text. No response. I called. No answer. I called again. Nothing.  By then, I knew Eisley had to be asleep and I also know Eisley sleeps like a rock. I didn’t want them coming home to that.  Their house is right around the corner so I walked over and prayed they left the door unlocked. They did! As soon as I wal...

I did it!

By
Today, I achieved a great professional achievement. I got my CFRE. It’s a big deal.  Brendon is out of town so I took the girls to get sushi to celebrate. This was our conversation on the way home.  *Passed by a Husband and Wife Law Team billboard Eisley: That dude wears suspenders. I would not call them first. I would call Jonathan first.  Me: I would call Brother Briggs first because he’s a criminal defense lawyer. Jon does HOA law which would not be very useful. Eisley: Ooo yeah. I feel like I’m going to be that kid some day. I’d call Brittany because she has experience, then Bro Briggs.  Me: You’re going to be the one to call to hide a body?  Eisley: Yeah. I’ll probably already be hiding one. I feel like I’m the Brittany, Aspen is Brodie, Kaybree is Dad.  Kaybree: Hmmm, I’m not sure. Aspen—do you like girls? Aspen: What? Kaybree: Just, would you like to marry a girl one day? Aspen: No.  Eisley: If you did, we would love her.  And then we all l...

Brendon

By
I scheduled my original screening on Friday and had a big mental crash Saturday night. Feels like I can't breathe. I was counting down the hours until I could just get to my appointment. I also couldn't keep the tears from my eyes and finally Brendon noticed. He held me and let me cry and just shrugged and said "We'll figure it out." I know we've always had that relationship. That no matter what comes in our marriage, we will figure it out, but it feels deeper now. Because no matter what happens to me he is for sure stuck with me! Haha Our lives are too deep, too interconnected to ever take a step back. How lovely it is to know he's mine forever and ever. He gave me a blessing and I woke up feeling better. And now my appointment has been pushed back an entire month, to a time when Brendon cannot come with me, and that anxious feeling is creeping in again. But I can breathe through it. Because we can do this. We'll figure it out.
