Sleep.. oh sleep.

So.. As most of you know I have a 4 month old sweet baby girl. She is so wonderful and I love her to death but I am so ready for a good nights sleep. She is still waking up anywhere from 2 to 6 times a night... that's right. Our pediatrician said we need to wait until the 6 mos. marker before we can give her rice cereal. I am hoping that in two months my nights will be better. Now on the other side of this coin is Mr. Tyler. He is also discovering it is neat to get up in the middle of the night, come down stairs, look out the window, open the fridge, stand right by mommy's ear and say "Can I watch TV"? This is a new thing for Ty. This is the boy who never used to get out of his bed. He has been in a twin bed for about a year now and for the longest time he would just yell for me to come get him when he woke up. He usually always slept through the night, but now he thinks this is pretty neat stuff to get up and roam the house at night. So yesterday I decided to start a sticker chart with him. He gets a sticker for every night he stays in bed and at the end he will get to go pick something neat out at the toy store. Hopefully this works!
Now Sydney on the other hand.....

The Circus!!

Yesterday evening we took Tyler to see the circus. He had a great time and did really well. We dropped Syd off at grandma Nancy's and headed to the arena at about 5:30 so Ty could see the animals for the "all access pre-show". I must say that there wasn't too much to see. They did have about 6 elephants out and you can see the tigers from a distance. There were a few miniature horses and a few goats too. We weren't all that impressed and will probably skip that next time around. After that we headed inside to see the clowns that were entertaining the crowd until the show started. This was much more fun to see, and we were able to snap a few photo's of Ty with the clowns. He wasn't too sure what was happening at this point. We decided to get something to eat and that was a nightmare. The line was forever long and it took forever to get our food. Once we were seated we were able to eat and the show began. Tyler was so intrigued by all the performers and with what was happening. He kept asking " what are they going to do now?" He did really well and even told us when he needed to go potty. He did start to wear out about 2 hours into the night and started asking to go home. We got some more sugar into him and then he started having fun again. He got to pick out a little souvenir to take home so he will remember his trip to the circus. All in all it was a great night.

Here we are before going.

Got me a background!

This is way too much fun. Here it is 10:00 o'clock at night and I'm still fidgeting with the fonts, colors, music etc. I love it. Here are the most recent pics of the family.

I'm Blogging!!!

Wow, my first blog! What can I say, it has been a long time coming. I'm so excited to share our life with everyone. Hopefully this will let my family and friends keep up on all that is new with the Kemps!
So, this week is very exciting. Tuesday evening Tyler is going to his new school for back to school night ... I know he isn't even in school yet but will be in a few months and they only hold one of these per year so I thought it would be fun for him to get to know his teacher. He is very excited and we have been telling him he can't go to pre-k until he learns to go potty and he is doing very well.
On wednesday night Tyler, Braden and myself are going to the circus. I am so excited for him. We have never taken him anywhere like this before. Sydney gets to spend some quality time with Grandma Nancy. I will let you know how it went.
