In the dog house

is where we found Burke today. He looks happy there, doesn't he?

Carly loves to sit at the island like Cayson and color. She also loves to pose!

Cayson is working on his book report for school. He is reading tons now!

Burke likes kiwi

He's is my son...he LOVES kiwi!

(and presents apparently...)

Bath, drawing, sleeping and nakie time

Carly is an artist and is obviously VERY proud of herself.

If you look closely, she even got it on my book.

Maybe if we leave it, it will become motivation to paint the house!

Burke is learning to crawl...but that CAN'T feel good!

Once dressed he was obviously quite tuckered out.

Normally Cayson takes a shower while Carly and Burke are in the bath but he really wanted to get in with them so I gave up the fight and let him get in the bath. My bath tub was an extension of the sand box after their bath.

AND LASTLY...

For Cayson's birthday Thad and I took Cayson to the batting cages. He did pretty good but will have to work on actually hitting the ball.

The batting cages are pretty theraputic. Its a great way to take out your anger or frusterations!

Big Two!

Carly is two!

HOW did that happen? WHEN did that happen?

I am so grateful to have such a beautiful little girl.

SHE is part of what makes my life perfection.

I love you, Carly. Life would not be life without you!

My life has changed immensely with you.

I loved you more than life the moment I heard your heart beat.

I didn't think I could love you more, then I saw your perfect little face.

I knew my life would never be the same when I held you.

10 little fingers and 10 little toes, a cute button nose, sweet lilly lips and big brown eyes

are what make up a perfect little angel sent to change my life forever.

Can't wait to see what year three will bring!

Double Birthday

We decided to do a combined birthday party for Cayson and Carly. We went to Chuck-e-Cheese and had a LOT of fun. It was a spur of the moment party so it was small but perfect for what we wanted. The kids all played and had a great time. Cayson and Carly got some fun presents! They have some great cousins that they really love to play with!

Bath time

Birthday Boy

Happy 6th birthday, Cayson!

We can't believe that you are 6 today.

We are such a blessing to our family and we love you so much!

You bring so much laughter to our lives. I love it when you make me laugh so hard

I almost pee my pants!

I love it when I hear you and Carly playing and laughing together.

I love it when you sing "Baby Mine" and "Twinkle, Twinkle" to me at night.

I love your goofy, gappy-tooth smile.

I love how hard you try to get on green and blue at school.

I love it when the little girls at school wave out the car window and yell your name...

you are such a ladies man!

I love playing Mario with you and throwing fits when we loose.

I love dancing in the car, especially when you think I dance like a nerd.

I love listening to your prayers.

I love what a BIG helper you are!

I love that your baby brother and baby sister get to have you as their big brother!

Daddy and I are so proud of you and all that you do. You try so hard in school to do good work and learn. You try so hard to be good and obedient. You are such a big helper with your brother and sister and they are so lucky to have such a kind and loving big brother. Life would not be the same without you!

Love you lots!
