Catchin' Up!!

We basically got one day of hot weather, the day after getting the tramp, where we were able to pull out the hose and jump with it spraying up under the tramp. The kids LOVED it!! Then we got a bunch of rain. We haven't been able to do that much since. Jocelyn waking up for a nap at Grandma Cindy's. So cute. And speaking of a nap, here's Brooklyn napping on the counter. I always miss this stage when they outgrow sleeping there while I cook.


Nowpeek at the sheer JOY on my kids' faces as we popped popcorn the other night! W-O-W!!! I laughed so hard at their true shock and delight to watch it pop. Then of course we had to sing.... Take a guess at what song they are singing!!!









Gettign bigger, Brooklyn has started smiling at us--and we love it! She started this just around 8 weeks. She is such a sweet little girl.







Grandma gave Jo some headbands...Sweet, huh!

Landon really likes to hold Brooklyn, but he only does it for about 20 seconds before he says, "I am done mom."


Making skirts....ah.....here is my first one with a ruffle. I am getting better, but this one did turn out pretty cute. Cate loves it, so that is all that matters.

We have to keep a bib on Brooklyn constantly. She is still spewing bubbles, milk, and more. I hate it, but what do you do?


You know we are bringing the side pony tail back, right?

More skirts, this time all matching. And much cuter, I think. Landon then asked me "Mom, are you going to make me a handsome suit?" Ah!! What will I do? I then got the idea to make him a tie.
But first we have to loose another tooth! Ah, the era of pumpkin smiles begins. She let me pull out for a popsicle. So worth the trade.

We took a quick, unplanned trip to West Yellowstone. The kids really liked it. I would love to blog about it in more detail, but I dont' think I will. Basically, we had a great time seeing the wolves and bears, and the kids traveled like gems, and it was a good way to spend a day together as a family.


Starting to gain more balance, here is Brooklyn at 11 weeks.
Well, here it is...The Handsome Tie.
Sweet, eh!

And we can't forget what it's like to take a bath in the tub....most of the water ends up on the floor.


And the kids had a pioneer party for their primary activity. So I made the pioneer attire. Sadly, they were the only ones in any kind of pioneer garb. Oh well.


That is it for now. I need to do up Brooklyn's first shots, a day with Grandma Mac at the park, and some family photos we did.
Soon.

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
