New Tooth Trouble

Monday morning, Katelyn woke up with her first top tooth. She has 3 now.... 2 on bottom and 1 on the top. We were wondering why she was a little cranky Sunday night and refused to eat anything. Now that that tooth has broken through the surface she pigged out tonight!!!! I turned by back for 1 second to help Camden and the girl got busted! This definitely ended up with a trip to the bath tub:) She wants to feed herself so bad, but just can't quite figure out exactly how to work the spoon yet!!!

Dinosaur Garden

Today, we didn't have school because of President's Day. Camden took the opportunity to get out his dinosaur garden that he got for Christmas from his Great-Grandma. he played with it for almost an hour. If you know my son... that is amazing:) We eventually had to put it away until Katelyn took a nap. She kept trying to eat the dinosaurs!!!

Beautiful Girl

When you find out you are having a baby girl, you get so excited about pink. The truth of the matter is.. Katelyn looks amazing in blue!! Especially Teal Blue. I was shopping for baby food other day and I saw this dress. I bought it to save for her birthday, but it is so pretty I had to try it on her. It's still a little big, but is she gorgeous or what.....???

Valentines Day 2009

We had an amazing Valentines day this year. We went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the day. Camden, Connor, Drayton, and Katelyn all had a blast opening up their Valentines Day presents. Camden's favorite was the movie Space Buddies. He has been waiting for it since it came out a few weeks ago. He loves those movies:) Katelyn's first Valentines was very special. She got several things along with this adorable outfit and her stuffed unicorn. Now if we can just keep Macy away from it.

We decorated sugar cookies and had a beautiful fondue dinner. Camden LOVED the chocolate fondue for dessert:) Chocolate covered cherries are his new favorite!!!!

Beautiful flowers for the girls from Daddy:)

Lots of Love for my Valentines!!!!

Tuesday night Camden and I baked sugar cookies and tonight, we got to ice them. We are making special cookies for his teachers: Mrs. Samantha, Mrs. Melissa, and Mrs. Christy. Camden loves pre-school and his teachers. He even snuck money to school this week to buy them a drink... "Just incase they got thristy!!" He is so thoughtful....and we are so thankful that we have such amazing educators working with him on a daily basis..... Thank you !!!!!

Life is HARD

Oh Maggie.... You are such a good big baby!!! She loves her dog bed she got for Christmas. She is such a cuttie pie. I can't even imagine life without her: ) The past couple nights, Camden has locked her in his room to go to bed because she chases the monsters away!!! Love ya Magster!!!

Katelyn 8 Months Old

Katelyn is now 8 months old. I can't believe it!!! It seems like just yesterday I was waiting for her to arrive. She is the most precious little girl. She is doing so many great things this month. She learned how to crawl forward about 2 weeks ago and is now EVERYWHERE!! She loves going after the dog bones. She can be sitting in a huge pile of toys and see the dog bone across the room and takes off after it. She started drinking from a sippy cup and eating Cheerios all by herself:) She is so good at picking them up and making them to her mouth! She is very precise. She will stand up and hold on to objects, but only if you get her there. She has absolutely no interest in pulling up on anything by herself which is definitely OK by me!!! She loves her big brother and plays with him all the time. I wish I knew what she was thinking when she watches him. She is now putting herself to sleep every night by herself, but loves taking her naps in our bed!!

Tennis Anyone???

On Saturday the weather was in the 70's. We couldn't believe it was February!!! We decided to take advantage of the beautiful day by taking Camden to play tennis. We dropped Katelyn off at Grandma and Grandpa;s and hit the courts. We had a great time. Camden did great in the beginning, you definitely could tell when he got frustrated. He started yelling at the ball... "ball, why are you being so mean to me." I have to admit it was pretty cute:)

Sick Baby girl...again!!!

Well, Katelyn's 8 month photo shoot will have to come at a later date. She came down with a yucky fever on Thursday. After getting as high as 103.9 and not coming down with Motrin, 2 trips to the doctor we still don't know what was wrong. She didn't have a cough or runny nose, she wasn't vomiting, no diarrhea. The doctors even did a flu test, a urine culture, and took a chest X-ray to make sure it wasn't pneumonia. Everything came out crystal clear!!! She was just extremely irritable and wanted to cuddle all day long. She has been back to her normal self today.

Sunday Fun with Tacky!!

Camden and Tacky playing dress-up. Camden was the Jedi and Tacky was Darth Vader!!! Good guys always win... watch out Tacky!!!!!

Katelyn Loves Tacky Too!!!!
Time for the Game. Super Bowl Sunday! Cardinals Vs. Steelers. Who will it be???? Camden just can't decide:) Here is a picture of Tacky and Camden watching our first Super Bowl in High Definition!!

Crown Center with Tacky

This weekend, Camden was chosen to get to take Tacky home with him. Tacky is the penguin from Camden's preschool that goes home with different students for fun adventures. This was a perfect weekend for Tacky to come home with us. Camden was so excited!!!

A family friend, had some vouchers for Sesame Street Live... Elmo's Green Thumb at the Sprint Center this weekend. Since his children are older, he thought we might enjoy taking Camden. Originally, we asked Camden's best friend, Cruz and his mom to go with us, but she was really sick, so they couldn't go. We wanted to day to be perfect for Camden and Tacky. We dropped Katelyn off at Aunt Shawna and Uncle Ryan's house for the day.

First we drove down to Crown Center early in the afternoon. Camden and Tacky loved the fountians.

We ate lunch at Fritz's restraunt. Cam and Tacky loved watching the trains together and were so excited when a TRAIN delivered us our lunch! That was so cool!!!

Camden and Tacky ate all their lunch, so they got quarters for the gumball machine!
Next, we headed to the Sprint Center! Camden couldn't make up his mind between popcorn and cotton candy, so we just decided to get them both. One for Tacky and one for Camden:) They Shared Very Well!!!!

Elmo's Green Thumb was a great show!
