Keeping Up With The Kimseys

1. Cool

2. Could Entertain a Crowd

3. Funny

4. Liked by His Community

5. Surfer (a real surfer... one that can ACTUALLY surf, and surf quite well)

6. WOULD actually stand on a float for a couple of hours in a wet suit and wave to people in freezing weather

Here are some pics from his time in the spot light...

Let me know if you would like him to show up at your next event. He even does children's birthday parties (he is great with kids). He charges by the hour and will give surf lessons as well :) What a cool Dad/Granddad.

Then turn it over and...

Those cheeks are too cute... MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What a wonderful time of year! The boys had their first "Christmas" yesterday at the Kimsey's and it was such a great time. Every year Clay's Grandaddy Cliff has a Christmas party the Saturday before Christmas and then the last couple of years we have gone to Clay's mothers house afterwards and we all spend the night and have "Christmas" at the Kimsey's the next morning. It is truly like Santa has unloaded his sleigh there. Mrs. Lisa really goes all out at Christmas! Each grandchild has there own pile of presents that looks just like when Santa came when I was little. Not only does each grandchild get a bunch of presents, but so do the big "children" too...

I am very blessed to have such a great, great mother and father in law. They are not great because of the presents they give (though it is very nice of them and we enjoy them a lot!) but because they are so loving towards me and make me feel so special and loved. I hear horror stories about other peoples in laws and I feel so extremely blessed to have such great in laws that I love and love to be around. Thank you Mr. Jimmy and Mrs. Lisa for all you do for us and how you love us so much. We appreciate it!

Here are some pics from the weekend. Hope you enjoy...

Grandaddy was proud of his gifts too!

Trying to get a picture of me and Clay "Christmas Eve".

It didn't go to well. This was the best one of about 5 pictures and

it is out of focus. And we did not fight after this picture was taken :)

Clay was more than willing to try to take it over and over for me :)

NOT!

looking at his Dad and smiling so big.

is going to bring. I just have that feeling.

I DO NOT want to get my hopes up, but the babes have had 36 hours of good (pain free) feedings! We started them on Prilosec Tuesday night and I can't say for sure that is what has done the trick, but something has! The reason I say I am not going to get my hopes up is because they have gone through streaks of several feedings in a row being good and then reverted back but I have a good feeling about this time!

Other good news, we got out our Christmas cards out today! For a little while there I thought it would be absolutely impossible to pull them off (getting the picture, ordering the cards, getting addresses, labeling them, stamping them... SO MUCH WORK) but we managed to do it and I am so glad we did. I think they are so cute and once people have received them I will post it on here for all to see.

For now, here are two pictures from the day we took Christmas card pics for Clay's mom...

Now to eat something for the first time today! When you are busy, it is the easiest thing to let go... I am STARVED!

Speaking of not having time, did you know it is Christmas in a week and a half?!? We just got our first few little presents last night but we have MANY more we need to get. I don't know when that is going to happen either. We have Clay's Grandaddy Cliff's Christmas party this weekend, as well as his parents Christmas this weekend and then it is just a few days until actual Christmas day. Wish us luck.

The boys are still not eating good (we have good feedings and we have bad ones) but don't you worry, they are growing! At the last appointment they were 12 lbs 5 oz (Miller) and 12 lbs 7 oz (Charlie). Did I already mention that? Oh well. Either way, they are growing boys. They were 3 months old yesterday and have a few pictures to share. Here they are while they were NOT eating like they were suppose to so we had a photo session instead.

First three pics are Miller, next three are Charlie...

Now maybe I will go get that shower :)

Bebe just left... :( It is tough to see her go. We WOULD NOT have survived without her. I thought this was going to be a time for me to catch up but really Bebe being here just made it possible to survive.

Clay is better from the flu but we ended up having a few more little bumps in the road this week. We were trying to move the boys into their cribs but the heat upstairs keeps going out so that wasn't really possible. The boys and I both have colds now which makes it a little tougher on everyone and Miller got his tongue clipped (Charlie got his done last week) because they were both tongue tied so yesterday was a little rough for him. ALSO Clay is REALLY busy at work so Bebe being here was so nice since it was important for him to be there during this time.

Still have not been able to mess with the new camera much but I do have some photos to share from my phone... They are pretty random, but still cute.

(These next two pics are after the boys got their 2 month shots... so sad....)

This post was a little all over the place but that is just how I kinda feel right now so it will have to do. I just wanted everyone to know we are still here and still cute as ever!

It is hard because when I have had little to no sleep then I easily start to get frustrated with them. OF COURSE it is not their fault because they are trying so hard to eat and are just having troubles (with the bottle, with the formula, with their digestive systems, and their tongue ties...) but when you are all alone and on the brink of insanity and then they won't eat, you start to feel hopeless (and then you start feeling like a bad mom for being mad at a baby).

On top of that, Clay now has the flu and so can't help at ALL with the babies. He is such a huge huge help to me that it is very hard not having him. No need to fear, BeBe is on her way here... now! So thankful that she can get up and go that easy to come help. For now, Jimmy (Clay's dad) is here. Clay's mom is hosting a Christmas party today and couldn't come so he is stepping up to the plate... So nice.

We do have our new camera and we don't really know how to use it yet but I will post some pictures that we have taken. They aren't great but I know once we learn all of it's bells and whistles, we will be like professionals.

( OKAY, I am having some picture problems. I will get back to you on that... to exhausted to mess with it at the moment.)
