To start our blogging off right, we thought that updating everyone on our kids would be the best thing. Especially when we've had requests for pictures of Lilly since she's been born. And sad to say that many of you have only seen her in our X-mas card. Sorry about that. She does not really look like an Ewok-she's actually very cute. We have'nt been hiding her from you all, just a bit busy.

We'll start of with Kobie, who is now 5. Big brother is going to be starting kintergarten this year. WOW-time flies! He had 2 years of pre-school and did very well. He's a smart little bugger, did'nt get it from me though (this is Jessica bloggin'!) His latest love is for transformers and legos. He loves his sisters very much- torturing them that is! No, he's actually a great brother and has lots of fun with them. We had him take swim lessons this summer and he did great. He likes his dive sticks, and loves to go in Grandma Bowling's "hot pool". He's a great kid with a great sense of humor. We love ya bro!

And then there's Bella. So much to say about Bella, so little time. She sure is something all right. When she's sweet, she's the sweetest. Her hugs and kisses are the best. She takes after her mother- a little on the bossy side. She's very independent and knows what she wants. She's into the "girly" things, such as purses, dresses, shoes and whatnot. Her favorite things by far, are the disney princesses. She also loves duckies of any kind. She's a great bike rider (training wheels) and dancer.
