Christmas Morning

Christmas Cookies

Gingerbread Cookies... Yum-O!

Merry Christmas!

Audrey was not so sure about this guy in red and Jackson looks like a deer in the headlights. Better luck next year!

Happy Halloween!

Let's Go Swimming

What do you mean it is too cold to go swimming?

Ready for Work

Jackson has his Daddy's shoes on and he is ready to drive to work

Happy 2nd Birthday Jackson & Audrey!

It is hard to believe that Jackson and Audrey are already 2 years old. It seems like just the other day we brought our cute little bundles home. They have developed such wonderful personalities. We are so blessed to have them in our lives.

Yard Work

Chris is trying his best to convince Jackson that yard work is fun with the cute plastic lawn mower. He won't be fooled for long.






Audrey's not fooled in the slightest!

Going For a Ride!

No wonder the radio station was different, the lights were on, and the wipers were going the next time I started the car up.

New Swimsuits

Jackson is pretty proud of his new foamy swimsuit


Audrey thinks that she looks like Sponge Bob Square Pants and wants to take it off immediately

Audrey's Buddy

Audrey loves to play with Nonna's dog, Flash. She thinks that it is absolutely hilarious when Flash gives her kisses.

Caught In The Act!

The kids were caught digging through the bag of chips. In ordinary circumstances this would be okay but my kids like to throw everything on the floor when they are done with it. I am glad that I found them before they followed through with the plan... The dog is not.

Summer Fun

The kids have been having a great time this summer trying new things. They are no longer content to sit in their Pack-n-Play. Jackson has learned how to to jump out of the Pack-n-Play on his own. Those two are into EVERYTHING. I have put locks on most of the cabinets, installed an oven lock, a dishwasher lock and we have a baby gate at the top of the stairs. This is just a minor road block until they can figure out how to get around these little deterrents. What am I going to do?


Riding on trucks


Bouncing on the trampoline


Tipping over dog water (and actually cleaning it up)


Playing with their Papatara

Good Earth Farm

After checking out Natalie's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun blog I decided that today would be a great day to take the kids to The Good Earth Farm in Leander. Good thing that we went on an overcast day because there are NO shade trees. The kids weren't too sure what to think about the animals because they are so much bigger than the kids are. The farm also had a table set up with bubble liquid and wands. The kids were more interested in chewing on the bubble wands than blowing bubbles. I think that we might wait until the weather gets cooler before we make a return trip to the farm.

Happy 4th of July!

In The Pool With Dad

Jump on the Kindertot's Train

The kids had their second Kindertots Dance Class today. Jackson did a better job this week of playing along and loved jumping, going around in a circle and being a part of the noodle train. Audrey did not want any part of it. All she wanted to do was run around the room and whine. There is always next week.

Latest Craft Project

Chris' Granny gave us a small table and two chairs for the kids. The color was not doing so great. It was a faded blue and the polyurethane finish had turned yellow. I decided to paint the furniture but I could not decide what color to paint it. It was torn between blue, yellow or red. Chris said anything but RED....


Before


After

I love the red and I am sure that it will grow on Chris.

Kindertots

I enrolled the kids in Kindertots with a bunch of kids from church. Kindertots is a "dance" class for little kids. Yesterday was their first day of class. It was more like herding kittens than an actual dance class. Kids were running in all directions and only one kid was actually following directions. It was absolutely hilarious and well worth the price of admission.


Audrey wanted the ball really badly


Audrey figured out that if you suck up to the teacher you get the ball


The Log Roll did not go so well


The kids are going in all directions

First Trip To The Sprinkler Park

Jackson was afraid to get in the water. Mommy kind of picked him up and ran him through the sprinkler. He was not amused.


Audrey was afraid at first, but she got brave and went to check out the action.


Unfortunately, she got too close to the water spout and got drenched. After that, she was not amused either.

Hopefully the next time we go to the sprinkler park the kids will be more willing to actually go in the water. One step at a time.
