Low Rider

I love Texas in the winter time. It was 75 degrees last week and Kennedy wanted to play outside. She usually rides her bike around, occasionally taking a stroll in the cozy coupe, but not this day. Daddy was messing around in the shop and she wanted to play too, until she found the Gator. I think she forgot all about the Gator we gave her for her birthday. She is getting much better about not running into things, specifically my car. Of course, she had to look stylish while driving around (can’t forget the shades). I don’t know if you can tell from the pictures but I think everything she owns is in the back of that Gator. I think she pays attention to mommy and daddy when we pack the car for long trips… too funny.

My Big Boy

Our little man is growing so fast. He is five months now and doing well. He laughs, talks, (in baby language of course) and he loves to watch Playhouse Disney. He is already so different than Kennedy was at this stage. I breastfed Kennedy for 7 months, so she started food much later then Parker, and let me tell you, the boy loves to eat. He did great his first time eating. He probably could have taken the spoon and done it on his own; I couldn’t get the food in fast enough. Every time I would take the spoon away to get more, he would scream until I put more food in his mouth. WHAT A CHUNK!! We bought him a Bumbo for Christmas and had to take it back. His legs were just a little too fat to fit in the leg holes. That’s okay though because Kennedy and I improvised. She got a Bratz chair for her birthday and Parker fits perfectly in it (don’t tell daddy). They love to sit together and watch cartoons in the morning, something Kennedy never did as a baby. He also enjoys watching her play. Her main goal in life lately has been to make her brother laugh and she is getting pretty good at it. The other day in the car she had him going for about 20 minutes. It literally brought tears to my eyes, considering Parker usually screams the entire time he‘s in the car.

MMMMMM Mommy

Can you believe Kennedy was just in the same chair.

Happy Birthday Jesus!!!

Okay people… I know I’m a little late on this one, but with two kids and class, you would be too. First Friends put on a Christmas program this year and Kennedy’s class also had a Happy Birthday Jesus party. Miss Dixie and Miss Anna bought pizza and we brought the cupcakes. She has been going to first friends for about 4 months now, and she loves it!!! We put her on the waiting list when we first moved here. We found out there was an opening the day we got home from the hospital with Parker. Hmmm I think God was taking care of mommy that day. Anyway, below are a couple pictures of her class.

Typical Kennedy, Bossing everyone else around. Tristen! put your hat on right!

Did anyone notice she is like a foot taller than the other kids.

Emily, Blaze, Cynthia Grace, Asher, Tristen, Kennedy and Lilee.

They made beautiful party hats to celebrate with Jesus.


Everyone brought a book to give to someone else. They all seemed pretty perceptive to sharing, each one immediately gave their book to someone else.

Visiting Family

Can you believe the holidays are already over? Everything went well aside from Parker getting sick. Our families seem to be doing good and they were all happy to see us. Kennedy was definitely excited that Santa came to see her so many times. We visited both families in 10 days and as you can see, we were ready to be home.

The Unruh Familly Blog - Getting Started

Hey family and friends, we are finally doing it. YEP, we made time for a blog!!! We are going to be tag-teaming this thing as we share our lives and experiences, please don't expect too much from us as we are just getting started. This is our first time out, it's 8:45 pm on Friday, 9 January 2009. We're not sure where to start or what to write. Most of the time we will write this from an outside perspective, so here goes.
Corie starts school in just over a week. She is taking 8 hours this semester after knocking out a heck of a 4.0 last Spring with 15 hours. Parker just got over having double inner-ear infections and has his first tooth just poking through. On Thursday, he had to go to the doctor for a follow-up visit and weighed 23 pounds!!! Kennedy is growing so fast and is talking better than ever. Jeremy is keeping up the same schedule as usual and is looking forward to working with a new co-worker out here on territory. He knows it will be extremely difficult to work with someone else the same way, but he is going to try.
This will wrap up our first spout. We plan to post information about the holidays and get pictures up as soon as we can. Hopefully this will help us keep in touch with everyone and be able to share our lives with everyone, even when we can't be close.
