YMCA, UK and Pull-ups


Angela here!  Hope everyone had a great week.  The kiddos have been busy the past couple weeks.  The Kemps finally became members of the YMCA and I think I found a new addiction...Zumba!  Who knew?!  But it's fun for everyone and the kids enjoy the playroom.  We signed Hud up for soccer as well.  The starting age is three (which he won't be till July), but I did a little weaseling to get him on the team.  AKA, I volunteered Chris to be a coach and it worked!  We start practice in a couple weeks.  Should be interesting....since Chris himself has never played soccer before.  Good thing these kids are only three years old.

All the cousins playing at the Y

Miss Adley keeps growing and growing.  She's finally sitting up sturdy and the teething is in full-force.  Drool is everywhere!  But she's just too cute, so we overlook all the slobber.  She's a bottomless pit as well.  She will eat lima beans, peas, squash and any fruit you put in front of her.  Making her baby food has become a second job.  And she's sleeping 12 hours straight through the night, which has made my life oh so pleasant.  So no complaints here.

We were ready for the big basketball game last week and it didn't end too well for the Kentucky Wildcats.  But Adley still sported her mama's alma mater.  She would have supported daddy's school, but oh wait...they didn't make it to the playoffs.  Not boasting at all here :)

Hudson has been busy astonishing us with his knowledge.  It seems like everyday he amazes us with something new.  He is currently all about matching games and puzzles.  When he finds a matching set, he'll scream "It fits, it fits!"  And if he's not ready to do something....eat, wake up, play, whatever....his new phrase is: "Not quite mama. Not quite ready."

News flash - our house is in potty-training mode!  The teachers mentioned that Hudson wasn't as "excited" about the potty as the other kids were in school.  Apparently the cloth diapers were holding him back.  So he exonerated himself from all cloth and only wears pull-ups now.  He has gone potty twice (actually ON the potty) and tells us when he has to go now.  Great progress for the first week, which has nothing to do with our parenting process (all credit goes to his teachers).  We could not be more grateful for all the teachers at his school.

Hudson is so so excited to be a "big boy" now with his pull-up.  He even has a little dance to prove it....


Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend.  We already kicked off the holiday fun with one egg hunt today.  The neighbors had a huge hunt and Hudson did his best to keep up with the big kids.  Another egg hunt is scheduled for tomorrow, followed by family gatherings and celebrating the holiday.  Next post will be Easter overload!
