Parties & Playdates

This past weekend we ventured to the thrilling Naperville to the Dupage Children's Museum. We celebrated our good friend Jack's 3rd birthday. You would think we would have pictures of the birthday boy, cake, kids, etc, Nope. Just Oscar running around the museum and Hendrix sleeping.

Here is Dad & Oscar playing with some agua.

And Oscar in the wind tunnel, he is not the total nerd with the goggles on.

And this a very unique picture, not because he has 3 more chins hidden under his sweater-he is sleeping during the day time!

A very rare experience for Hendrix.

And today we had an Oscar-free playdate. Not on purpose, he was in school-so I escaped to Chicago to meet up with Charlie.

Ah, our good old Chicago Charlie.

Stripes

Here is a picture of the boys in their stripes.

Also, we would love to announce the newest member to the distant KAT Klan. Mr. Nicholas Burton KAT. He was born at 12:01am on Wednesday, January 21st and weighed 8lbs and 11oz. He put his Mom through a 24 hour labor, but Aunt Kate & Uncle Corey are so happy. We are planning a trip to Dallas, Texas to see him soon!

Tons of fun

Glamma thinks that Hendrix isn't fat, that I just dress him in clothes that make him look fat. Yeah, that is my problem and all the people on the show "Biggest Loser." So, here are some pictures of him without clothes, you all can be the judge.

please note this child is only 10 weeks old!

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

The Chicago Bears aren't playing football, but for some reason we still have to watch football every weekend still....ugh! But, we get tons of visitors because they want to watch the non-Bears play! Uncle Chris & Aunt Amy came to visit and so did our friend Brad from Chicago.

Here are some pics!

Hendrix & Uncle Chris

Oscar checking out a video on Uncle Chris' new Blackberry Bold

Hendrix & his outfit change......leg warmers!

And who can forget about GUS!

Begging as usual.

Let's get PHYSICAL!

Yes, men can wear leg warmers.

Especially when they are super sexy like these.

And yes, Oscar is stunned and will never been seen in sexy leg warmers.

Happy New Year 09!

Another year has come and gone.

Here is the last picture of the kiddies in 2008.

Yes, we hang out in our pajamas all day during the winter.

We had some live lobsters for NYE dinner.

Oscar thought they were cool for about 7 seconds, then screamed, "NO DADDY!"

We interpreted it as "MORE DADDY!" and continued to torment him.

Here is Andy and the lobsters' last picture of 2008-the lobsters didn't make it to 2009.

Happy Holidays from the Kat Klan.

Sad Attempt

So we tried to build a gingerbread house...started off ok, but we gave up after our house and newborn were covered in frosting and Nerds.

Here is Oscar neatly organizing our candy...seems all good at this point. Hendrix helped by managing the situation.

We got our foundation built!

Ok, here is Mom's side of the house. We got a "K" in the roof and banana shingles.

And here is Oscar's "sucked" on Runt. He tried to place is strategically all over the house, but it is now landscaping.



Finally, Oscar's side of the house. Look at all the candy everywhere!!! Maybe we will finish this thing, but it maybe be bird food soon.

Finally, a reason to have 2 kids.

Ah, Oscar is officially trained to take care of Hendrix.

He charges $10 an hour, changes diapers, feeds babies and entertains them.

I also wanted to post Oscar & Andy's gingerbread man they made at an event in downtown Hinsdale.

Please notice.
1. Andy's gum on the side of the plate.
2. The gingerbread man is missing a leg, because Andy took a bite then remembered I told him to take pictures!

And finally, an updated picture of Hendrix.

Today he is 5 weeks old...and I am guessing 11 pounds.

Early Christmas Present....

Of course Dad has to buy and give presents before Christmas. He bought the boys a train to go around the Christmas tree, but we like it better in the middle of our living room. We figured out how to make it smoke....so much it sets off our fire alarm. And, we can't figure out how to turn down the volume...so you can hear it in the garage it is so loud. Perfect, smoke and noise for a one month old! Mom is so excited!!!!

Thanks that is it OVER!

Was Thanksgiving weekend the longest weekend of Hendrix's life....uh yes. We are happy the festivities are over, but now the Christmas craziness has begun.

Here are some pics from Thanksgiving

Here is Oscar monitoring his cousin Matt feeding his bro.

And we are wondering if people make money playing the piano, we were banking on this kid being "the athlete."

And here is the Kat Klan at Thanksgiving.

O & H hanging and watching tv and ignoring everyone.....on our "free" day Friday.

Week 2

We are slowly making attempts to capture a "Christmas card moment." But, these are some pretty good shots of Oscar holding Hendrix, and he hasn't caused any major bodily harm yet!

Uncle Guac!

Hendrix got to meet the famous Uncle Guac last Friday.

He was kinda disappointed that Hendrix hadn't learned how to walk yet,

so he tried to help him along.

Then Aunt Amy wanted a pic with her nephews.....oh Uncle Guac!

Chubby

Hendrix is only 10 days old and has almost gained a pound. He is now 8lbs 8oz.

Brothers? You tell me.

Here is a picture of Oscar when he was 1 week old.

Here is a picture of Hendrix - 1 week old.

One week!

We made it! Hendrix is still alive after one week and our house is still standing too! Oscar has only managed to steal his pacifer and sleep in his moses basket every 10 minutes.

And Hendrix got to watch his first Bears game....and we told him it was pretty much the outcome we expected.

Day One Complete

Hendrix and Oscar are getting use to each other. Oscar demanded the baby sleep in his crib last night and makes sure he is wearing his hat at all times. And, he only poked him in the eyes 7 times-phew!

He's HERE!

Baby boy Kat #2 HENDRIX was born today at 7:56 a.m. He was 8lbs and 19.5 inches long.

Here is Mom right before Dad drove her to the hospital.

And here are some pics of baby Hendrix.
