On a Boat

DadKat took the day off and we went to visit the Murphy's for some boating action on Friday.

Of course Oscar did the jump into the lake.

And they went on a jet ski ride.

And MomKat chilled with a cocktail in shallow water.

Here is Oscar and his best friend/twin Jackson.

This was a common occurance the whole day...the boys fighting over toys.

Of course we brought Hendrix!

And we ventured to Wauconda Fest. Here is the family, minus Hendrix on the ferris wheel.

The boys on the tilt-a-elephants.

Hendo Draggin'

Put in the books, we got a crawl-drag-pull from Hendrix at 7 months.

Here is Oscar's first attempt at crawling at 5 months.

These are defenitly my children....one crawls to a Blackberry, and the other to an UsWeekly.

KAT Klan does Dallas

We had a fun trip to visit Corey & Kate in Dallas.

Of course it was an adventure and our flight got canceled, but the experienced staff at American Airlines thought it was smart to send our family to Arkansas, then connect in Dallas....

Here are the boys on the plane to Bentonville, Arkansas! Home of the Walmart! We unfortunately got stuck there for a night without our luggage, and it was very humbling for me. I got to appreciate the finer things in life, like no conditioner, wearing and sleeping the same clothes for 2 days, no Tivo, and living with the fear of catching scabies.

Here are the boys playing in the "Sleep Inn" bed.
I am so creeped out about how many germs they got rolling around in it.

And Oscar kept amused in the Northwest Arkansas Airport (that is the real name & it had only 3 gates) for hours going up and down the escalator.

We finally got to Dallas and got meet Nicholas Burton!


Uncle Corey & Nick.


DadKat throwing Oscar up in the pool.

Here is Aunt Kate with the babies!

Hendrix and Nick, 10 weeks apart and 10 pounds too!

MomKat and the boys, of course never looking at the camera at the same time.

Uncle Corey & Hendo

All the KAT boys!

Kat Klan minus Corey



Here we are now home!

We had an awesome trip in Arkansas & Texas and miss our family!!!

(and yes, I do put my children in car seats)

Help me out with this one.

Can someone please tell me what color this kid's eyes are going to be?

Extreme Home Makeover.

Here is the boys tree house/playset. Of course we paid someone to stain the whole thing, but I demanded that we put a magnetic chalkboard paint on the inside walls of the house. This means...2 coats of black magnetic paint, and 3 coats of chalkboard paint. Why are we doing this ourselves?!?!?!

Yeah, we had a visitor while we were painting...he even went down the slide 3 times! Who said 6 year old bulldogs were lazy? I also want to brag that I did about 85% of the painting, but no one seemed to capture those photos.....

Hendrix 007

Since I posted Oscar's passport picture experience.

He was 5 months old.

http://oscarkat.blogspot.com/2007/01/say-cheese.html

Here are Hendrix's photos.

He is 6 1/2 months old.

Foie Gras

Yesterday the boyz ventured to Glamma's house and checked out her pond and water fountain, but nothing was up and running due to some duck laying her eggs in the spout of the fountain. Hendrix wasn't too happy about this so he yelled at the ducks and told them to move their eggs so he can see the water and hear it while he slept.

Damn Ducks!

You can kinda see in the background of this pic of the duck proudly chillin ON TOP of the fountain.

Hendosaurus

Yep, at 6 months this kid is eating chocolate ice cream cones.

I have no more to say.

School's out for Summer!

Well, actually until Oscar starts summer school. I think I am going to join the PTA to demand school year round. Why do these kids get to hang around all summer and bug us?

Here is Oscar at his end of the year party at his school.

And a close up of the AWESOME JenKat haircut.

I must say after a week of growing out in the sun, it doesn't look that bad!

And Hendrix got teeth a couple weeks ago, forgot to mention because we were zombies while he was driving us crazy. But, how can you get mad at this face!?!?!

6 months old today!!!!

Fun with Hendrix

Fun for the whole family!

Lots o'updates

Here are some recent pictures of the boys! Awww, aren't they so cute!

Hendrix is officially saved from the devil, but our family is not allow in church....

Then here are funny pics of Gus in training to be a pro-skateboarder, instead....he just ate Dad's skateboard and got a "time out."

Oscar can now say his alphabet and he went to the dentist today!

Here are some videos of them!

Happy Easter!

After 3 Easter Egg hunts, Oscar finally got the concept of eggs going IN the basket, not at our heads.

And here are cute pics of the kids....

Easter Practice Part One

Yesterday was an AWESOME day! We had an Easter Egg hunt, Hendrix is officially eating baby food and the Michigan State Spartans are going to the Championship game!

Here are some pics from the Easter Egg Hunt....

Dad, gave Oscar some pointers,

but they didn't help, he just stood there in amazment and didn't pick up ONE egg!

And Mom & Hendrix just cheered from the sidelines!

And Hendrix eating some carrots from Aunt Amy.
