sisters

My kids usually wake up fighting, but they really do love each other, and they love Chloe SO much. She loves to sing, and she will climb up in my lap and start rolling her hands like "wheels on the bus". It's so cute. The other day I looked in the living room and she had climbed up with Gracie and they were singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". sisters... my sweet girls. I hope they always love each other like this. I always wondered what it would have been like to have a sister.

Gracie's Birthday

Gracie's 5th Birthday was on July 2nd, and I am so behind and just now posting about her fun birthday weekend. I can't believe my baby girl will be going to kindergarten!!! My Gracie"s favorite things right now....milk, cinnamon rolls, cheetos, popsicles, mac n cheese, canteloupe and watermelon, Disney Channel (especially Good Luck Charlie), she LOVES to sing and dance, jump on the trampouline, play tball and ride her new "birthday" bike. She loves her Daddy, and likes to sleep by herself, with "nite nite", Hello Kitty, and all her stuffed animal friends. She had a fun birthday, starting with a party with her friends at the Sprinkler Park, and the next day (her actual birthday) we ate pancakes for breakfast and went to see Cars 2. I love my girl so much!! I am gonna miss her terribly when school starts!! I wish I could just freeze time. My babies are growing too fast.

14 months

Chloe is 14 (almost 15) months old, and a busy busy girl!! She is SO funny, and makes us laugh everyday!!! She weighs 18lbs, and wears 12 month clothes, loves to take a bath and play outside, she is not a big eater (mostly loves bread, fruit and anything sweet), and is very strong-willed. She is so happy. Everywhere we go people comment on her smile! We thing she is pretty special, and pretty cute too!!

Gracie's Field Day and Pre-K Graduation

My big girl had her 1st "Field Day" and preschool graduation at the end of May. I can't believe she will be in Kindergarten next year!! It breaks my heart. I have to confess, I feel like I let her last 4 or 5 years slip through my fingers!! She was the easiest baby, and pretty laid back kid, and here I am thinking how in the world did she grow up so fast?! I felt like I savored eery moment with Weston before he started Kindergarten, I don't feel like I did that with her. SO sad to me. I didn't do it on purpose, it just happened so fast. Here is my sweet girl, so excited about field day, which she loved, but didn't love the balloon-between--the-knees race, and so proud at her program/graduation. I am so proud of her too. She is SO smart!! So ready for "big school"!!

lately

Busy summer so far! Weston's 8th birthday party, getting ready for Gracie's 1st dance recital, Chloe is everywhere, sleeping as late as possible (which is 8am in our house), swimming at Wendi's, just enjoying the idea od no school, and no homework, and no schedule!! I love it!! (especially the no school and homework part) Here are some pictures of our summer fun, so far!

Birthday Boy...the "real" day

I can't believe my sweet boy..my first baby...is 8 years old today. We had a fun day! After church we headed to Mimi and Papa's, then went to lunch at Weston's favorite place, Buffalo Wild Wings. The boy LOVES hot wings...barbeque wings that is! Weston has relly grown up so much this past year. He looks so much older too, maybe it's the "big" teeth! He is such a fun, sweet kid, but it breaks my heart to peices that my babies are growing up so fast.

Weston...here is what you are up to these days.....you love to PLAY!!!! and you love that is summer break, you love hot wings, root beer, coke, cinnamon toast crunch, bologna sandwiches, spicy chips, cheese, popsicles, spaghetti and garlic bread, skateboarding, riding your bike, playing with Paige & Colton, Luke, Will, Matthew, and Kolby, and sometimes Gracie (bless her heart). You like to stay up late, and watch TV, especially Zeke and Luther, Mystery Hunters, Phinneas and Ferb, Zack & Cody, Victorious, and Good Luck Charlie. You like to read (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Warriors), and love everything Tony Hawk. You still sleep with us (i know, i know), and say you will until you are 90! (Which is fine with Mommy!)

We love you SO SO much buddy!!! Happy Birthday!!

talking

Everytime I try to get Chloe saying her few little words she stops. I finally got her to do it this time!
