Okay so I know it's hard to hear and the shaking is really bad but it's amazing to us that his second word or first consistent word is Brother. That's what we call each of the boys and they call each other too. So We love it.
Beckett hasn't really wanting anything to do with signing. That and for the first three four months of his life we had to hold him at a 40 degree angle for an hour after feeding to minimize the volume of spit up escaping. That makes it hard to use your hands for anything to sign. Anyhow. He's starting to pick it up. He goes to school to pick up brother in the morning and all the ladies wave to him. He doesn't like going to anyone else but Mama and so when they wave he gets his nervous face and signs mama and waves back. It's also on the cheek wave. He's also got the milk sign too and is using it for any food right now. But my favorite one he does is the one we do for "good boy" he'll sign boy and smile and kick when he does something he likes. Whether we've told him good job or not. I think it's cute. He's not a big babbler and just kind of coo's with his mouth closed. It takes a trained professional to detect a upset grunt from a happy grunt from an "help my big fat leg is stuck" grunt. The latter one happens most often but actually is being encroached upon by the "I can't get my foot over so I can stand up" grunt. Very tricky and subtle the difference but still a difference.
Okay so I guess this is video day at the Kemper cave. Brenner and Beckett do just about everything together barring the naps. Brenner says he's just too big for that. But the two of them thought it fun to do snacks together this evening. Brenner was teaching on the proper technique of Sun Flower Seeds. Then Beckett tried his hardest to keep up.
The little boy is in love with tasting things and has now found that other things make good places to blow raspberries on besides the mama. He is also fascinated with the marks that his teeth make on things. We now have those cute two bottom teeth and the top middle and one on the left should pop tomorrow.

Freeze Tag
Alright. I didn't know how this game went. I wasn't aware that if I read someones blog that was tagged I was it. Or maybe I really just didn't pay attention. Either way I've been tagged. And immediately I thought of freeze tag. Loved that game. You know the one where you got tagged and had to freeze and then the other "non" tagged people tried to run under your legs to "un"freeze you. LOVED it. So I guess I'm tagged and frozen Until I do my little blog for it. And I think I'll need to do my crazy 8's to boot too. That's another day. P.S. Sorry about not posting for so long. Something about my URL's are lousy or something. Nothings been going through. So there'll be a lot of posts soon to catch Kemper up. So here we go. Hehem!
I've been tagged by Meredith. Super smooches to you!Here's how you play: Once you have been tagged, you have to make a post with seven weird/random facts or habits about yourself. At the end choose seven people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don't forget to leave the person you've tagged a comment ("You've been tagged!") and tell them to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you.
1 - I love sour cream on bologna. Shut up it's good. I don't care that everyone is silently or not so silently gagging right now. I don't care. I love it. And I have converted at least 5 people over to it. Try it if you dare. I love condiments. I have my favorites. And yes everything in the world would be made better by slapping or dipping into one of these. In order of love, not usefulness they are: Kraft Catalina salad dressing, Ketchup, Sour Cream.
2 - I have always called men's boxers panties. It works every time to get the teenagers to pull up their pants when the boxers are showing. You simply say, "Your panties are showing." They in turn get very upset and declare vehemently that they do not wear panties WHILE pulling up their pants. Thus solving the seeing your underwear problem. I love doing it. In fact I love saying the word panties. It's very fun. oooh. Hence the blog title. Oh it all comes full circle. How nice.
3 - I'm a half breed. Mom's full Spanish and my Dad is White. And I mean white. As in no pigment at all. My cousins are half white and half black and still look white. I gained the ability to tan and have pigmentation from my mother's side. Props to mom. The ability to have my skin be translucent when not in contact with light comes from Dad.
4 - I call & refer to my husband as Kemper. It's just easier. And that's really his name. Oh and Brenner is little Kemper. I wonder what I'll do when Beckett's walking and wandering around? Last Kemper? Mini Kemper? Send in your suggestions now so I can try them out. Who knows maybe he'll be Beckett.
5- I became a funny girl out of sheer fear. In H.S. the football players thought it funny to stop random Sophomores and "ask" them for their money. One time I was stopped. I'm 5 feet tall. 100 lbs. He's 6 something and easily 250 lbs. Oh and he shaves. (Remember how that was a big deal back then. Yeah he was a shaver.) I creaked out a "Please don't eat me." And they laughed and let me through. The rest of the year the Seniors would see me and yell out, "Say something funny girl!" But I'm still not considered funny at all in my family. They're all way funnier. They think it's funny people think I'm funny.
6- I love TV. I acknowledge that my life is crazy enough and enjoy that in 30/60 minutes a group/family can find a problem and solve it. I know my life isn't like that and to tell you the truth. I'd love it to be. That and the background music. Man I'd love to really have background music for my life. I guess this blog is that for me. This DVR thing is the best thing ever.
7 - I'm afraid of the ball. Yeah. That's about all I want to say about it. Wait. Remember those No Fear shirts they had back in 93/94 ish? I saw a kid at school have one that said Fear Gear and it stated clearly that he was afraid of the ball. I need that shirt. I'm just afraid. They hurt hard.
7 people I tag and why I chose to tag them...
2 - Leah Grammer (Ya-Ya) - Uhm Hello! She married the sexiest Yeti in the world. Why not have her as a best friend? And she tells you your husband's hot. Oh and choose her to do this too.
3 - Ashley Zapien - You're so funny and I think you have a lot to say now with that FLASHY ring, coin purse, and "bag"! Hello! Oh and my son thinks you're "false advertisement".
4 - Brian - He's even more interesting than me. We'll see what quirkiness he'll allow the world to know. Knowing him it'll be in another language or 4 mixed together.
5 - Jen Kelley Betty - Who wouldn't want to hear from a girl with three names. You should see her smokin' hot husband ... Mr. Betty. Yeah he's cowboy hot enough to pull of Betty. Welcome home Josh. And Good luck shootin' tex.
6 - Lucy Heath - I only lived up the hill from you for a few months but it was long enough for me to want to be you. Now reading your blog I'm even more intimidated. She's so awesome. Babies, soldier, building her own house, blogging, scrapping, and she's nice to everyone too. She'll be one of the first ones that knows of the 2nd coming. Please let me know when it starts, k? Thanks
7- Sarah
Galan - I know this girl has some good stuff. I only wish I would have had a video that 4th of July weekend with the Davis' in TX. Your final performance. I think we all peed our pants. Totally worth it though. Did you ever video that? I'd pay money to see it again.Okay so I think everyone here will be good sports. And play along. BTW. This is my favorite way to play tag. Kissing Tag. Find your sweethearts and play today.
