There are times when I look at our children and I claim them as my own...refering to them as mine, etc to Dave. There are other moments when I talk to them about "his" children.
Ex: I told Dave about my cute Grant when he defended Katelee against a bullying boy, exclaiming, "Don't hurt my sister!" I am pretty sure I referred to Grant as his father's son when he held a restaurant plastic kids cup, and with all seriousness asked me "Mom, when you die, I get this right?" 
Katelee is my girl when she says things like, " I love everyone in the whole whole world, and my family." I am certain she comes from Dave when I see her in her dance class not twisting as the other 3 year olds, but dirty dancing to herself in the corner against the mirror...definitely not a trait from me ;)
Brenna cakes is all mine when she giggles and crawls across the room for me, stands on her own or squeals. She is Dave's when she gets into the Cheetos bag and we turn from pushing the kids on the swings to see her laying in a bed of the processed product with one hanging out of her mouth like a pastuerized cigar....definitely her dad's!
She is 7 1/2 months old and starting to stand on her own and even take a step or two...walking is not too far away! My friend Kelsey took this sweet pictures of her.
Good thing my kids have to claim me as their mom all the time, even when my actions are less than becoming!

I do the same thing. When they're cute as could be, they belong to me. When they're naughty... they become Aaron's!! I love the 2nd picture of Brenna. Her eyes are so blue and her lips are perfect in that picture.
I love those pictures. I hope I will see you all soon.
Such sweet pics! I cannot believe that she is almost walking at her age. You have got to put up video when she does. Mine werent' even crawling yet, so I can't imagine! Busy busy!
Oh and make sure you put the cup in the will!
wow, kara, you have mad writing skills! i loved reading that. your kids are just as cute as they are humorous. LOVE it!
So much fun!! Wonderful pictures of Brenna and I enjoy all the commentary that goes with them. I can't believe she is already standing up and wanting to walk. Daniel did take his first steps at 8-1/2 months and then the day he turned 10 months old he started walking and never stopped. I know you are having fun, and I totally understand the mine and his child thing. When they are sweet and wonderful they are mommy's but when they are rotten they are definitely daddy's!!
she is so beautiful, I love the one where you are kissing her. Awesome pictures and post.
You crack me up. And little Brennana is a cutie.
(PS When you die, I get that container that holds your q-tips, right?)
Hey Kara,
I am going to steal the concept of this blog if that's ok. Just this week I was laughing and crying at some of Nadia's traits that she gets from me LOL.
I love your pictures Kara. So cute. I usually just think that the sweet things Brian does are his true personality and the bad things he does are "just a phase" (hitting other kids!!) But what if it's the other way around and it's actually the sweet things that are the phase!! hmmm.... I'm sticking with my first idea.
