I think she lost her first tooth! How cute!

front and center :lol:

I hope Kelly enjoys her vacation and family time!

After missing out last year do you think we'll get a christmas card edition this year?

I hope so but as we get closer & closer I'm thinking no :look: :pout:

Did we miss 1 year or 2 years by now?

2 years, maybe 3 :look:. I honestly can't remember any done since Remy was born tbh

aww they are so little there :love:

Must've been as it has Remy in it & I can't think of any with him in it :look:. Unless I can't remember them like that one

This is the last one I remember :look:

they are yes, looks like River is missing her 2 front teeth! :lol:

She's getting so big :bawl: Where is the time going?

haha not sure... her hair seems to be getting so long as well!

River is still cute with missing teeth :love:

I feel like Remy isn't changing much

Yeah, he's just growing, but feels slower? River clearly is growing up

yeah it feels slower! :lol:

Maybe its his age? One day he'll just suddenly shoot up? :look:

hmmm could be, I think River does have the age that a lot is happening, growth spurts and all of that..

Kelly Clarkson Jokes That She Was 'Guilted' by Daughter River, 5½, for Leaving the House

Quote:

Kelly Clarkson is nailing the work-parenthood balance, but some days are harder than others.

The singer and television personality spoke to reporters on Thursday night at the Hollywood Beauty Awards in Los Angeles, where she joked that she “got totally guilted” by her 5½-year daughter River Rose “five minutes ago because I was supposed to be home tonight.”

“But she understands that sometimes we do things for other people and you have to be selfless sometimes, so it’s a good lesson. But we’re really good about it,” Clarkson, 37, said of herself and husband Brandon Blackstock, with whom she shares River and son Remington “Remy” Alexander, 3½.

“We are up with them in the morning, we’re there at night and just like normal parents that work 9 to 5 jobs,” added The Voice coach. “We really make a point to have vacation time and really get away from everything. We have a ranch in Montana we escape to.”

While she and her former American Idol judge Simon Cowell don’t swap parenting tips, Clarkson joked that he’s “so soft now” that he has a child. (Cowell, 60, is dad to son Eric Philip, who turns 6 this month.)

“[Parenting] makes you selfless. It makes you really prioritize,” she told reporters. “I think parenting changes you in the best way. It’s made me stronger, but definitely it’s hard. It’s the hardest job out of all the jobs.”

In terms of what she strives to teach her kids about beauty and self-confidence, Clarkson said she wants Remy and River “to embrace who they are and whatever fashion they love and rock that. And maybe somebody might not be into it, but it’s what they love and it’s what sets them apart.”

Nice article :)

Poor River, but sometimes any parent regardless of their job, has to make changes & not be there for things. Sounds like still a normal life :)

yeah it's normal... plus it's good for Kelly to show that sometimes you have to do other things for other people

As long as she feels like she gets enough time with the family and no one feels like they are missing out, that's what matters. I'm sure things might change as the kids get older, too.
