Poor Baby

Whitney loves playing with her babies. Unfortunately, one of them was subjected to Kayla's fetish... eating things after we go to bed. She ate the hand off of one of the babies.

Ever since she lost her hand, Whitney has rejected her. She looks at the hand and says "Ewww". And then proceeds to punish the baby for losing her hand. She never wants to play with that baby anymore. Sometime we find her just looking at the baby and then the hand followed by spankings.

Before she plays with the other 2 babies she will check out their hands first. After she sees that the hands are ok, she will pick it up and hug it.
It's quite sad!

I tried to catch a little of this behavior on the following video:

Sleepover

The boys went on their very first sleepover with the neighbor girls this weekend. These girls are just like sisters to the boys. They are always together. They have spent the night at our house twice but the boys have never slept over at anyone's home before, except Grandma and Grandpa. :)

This is what they looked like when they left around 8:30pm, after the girls spent the night eating pizza and watching movies with us at our house.


I didn't get a picture of them coming home, but around 10:30 I heard them creeping up the stairs. Connor said everyone fell asleep and he got bored so he woke Aiden up and they came home and got into their own beds. lol!

We Got Screwed

Well, we finally had a bad experience with Craig's List. We have loved Craig's List since we first started using it in the Bay area (where it was first started). However, remember my post about the Christmas Lights??? We hired a guy off Craig's List to put up our lights for us. We paid him $85 to put them up and to also take them down after Christmas. Well, after the holidays he never answered his phone. I called him NUMEROUS times and from several different phone numbers. I left a million messages... first they were nice and then they got ugly. Still, no response. Yes, we got screwed!!! We were the last house on the block to take our lights down. Jeremy had to get up there himself and take everything down. Grrr.......

Return of the 'Stach'

Is this trend really coming back?

Whitney saw me taking pics of Jer and immediately started posing. I couldn't resist taking a pic of her too!

Germany

For those of you who don't know already.....

We are moving to Germany. We leave on February 17 - 34 days!!!!!

Jeremy's job is relocating us for 3 years. We will be living in Mannheim. We will be really close to several other countries and are really excited to travel a lot while we are there. The kids will go to an English school while we are there but we will most likely be attending the German ward. It's going to be a wonderful experience for all of us. We are really excited.

We are looking for renters for our home while we are gone. Anyone interested???
We have a lot to do before we leave and time is flying!

Saying Good Bye

Chris and Brian left after church on Sunday. We had to take a few pics before everyone left.


Dan and Chad are just like brothers to the Cates boys




The Love Birds!! :)




Had to take some of the kids too!


Don't they look sweet??


Whitney and Chad's little girl, Kai. They are SO CUTE!

Hanging Out With The Cates

Whitney just LOVED Papa! Anytime you picked her up she smelled like Brad's cologne. lol! They were always huggin!

Connor got some Wii time with Parker

Aiden took advantage of Connor being distracted with the Wii so he could try out Connor's new DS Lite

Whitney refused to wear clothes!

Hanging out with Papa

The whole family with the new addition... My very first Sister-in-Law, Abby!!

Whitney is not lacking for love, that's for sure!
We found an old bottle that I left at Jeremy's Uncle Dick's house. We filled it up to see if she remembered what to do. It was like a reunion with a long-lost, best friend! lol!

Uncle time!!

Did you step in something, Chris??? lol!

Chris is such an Awesome Uncle!!
