I did it again

I created so many posts at once that you have to click on "older posts" at the bottom of this page to view all the new stuff. When I get a few minutes on the computer I have to take advantage of it :) Enjoy!

Beating the heat

It reached 90 degrees today in The Great NW, so after attending a presentation at Emma's school we spent the rest of the day in Grammy and Poppy's back yard. We beat the heat with sprinklers and popcicles and by wearing very little clothes (the babies only, of course).

Emma giving her power point presentation....good job, Em!

I just thought that was pretty cool!

Sleeping babies

I don't actually let them sleep like this (for fear that Aiden will roll over on Bella.), I was feeding Bella last night and Aiden wanted to lay with us...this is how they fell asleep.

Happy 4th Birthday Lucas

We attended my nephew's 4th birthday party Wednesday evening and had a ball. It was a pirate themed party and they had a huge blow up water slide that the kids (and Cameron) loved. Happy 4th Birthday, Lukie...thanks for letting us help you celebrate.

Crashed

This is the first time Bella has fallen asleep while playing...so sweet!

What can I say the boy love to vacuum...

Big Boy Undies

That's right, the time has arrived for big boy undies. Aiden has been doing really well on his potty training so he got to spend a few hours today big boy undies...he was so proud!

Miss Bella is 4 months old

4 months have passed since I first laid eyes on this beauty, unbelievable! I am truly blessed. I can't tell you how many times I have asked, "how did I get lucky enough to have two perfect babies?" Everyone told me that we were "in trouble" with her because Aiden is so good, but they were totally wrong. She is the best baby and so happy. She continues to be a good sleeper and we are finally starting to establish a routine. Her little personality is starting to shine and I absolutely LOVE it! She is a total lover and very very social. She loves to have lots of friends (stuffed animals) laying beside her when she plays and she just talks away to them. She is quite loud for such a peanut. And she truly is a peanut...At her 4 month check she was 26" long but only 12lbs 10oz (95% for height - 25% for weight). I was a little worried about her weight being a little low, but the doc assured me that she is very healthy and lower weight is common with very active babies. She is a mover and a shaker and is sitting very well with assistance, loves to stand when being held, and rolled over for the first time last weekend...we are so proud. Again, we truly feel blessed every day for all of our wonderful children and are so happy that Bells continues to thrive!

Memorial Day at the Coast

We had such a great Memorial Day weekend at the Beach house. The weather at the coast was beautiful and the company was even better. My brother and I headed down on Friday night with the babies. Grammy and Poppy came early Saturday morning then Cam and Emma followed later that day. Sunday morning we were surprised at the early arrival of Kara and her boyfriend, Seth (we knew they were coming just couldn't believe they got up so early to start the drive). It truly was a perfect weekend!

Miss Bella loves smiling at her Daddy
