Last weekend we decided to get out of Stillwater for a nice three day weekend and head to Austin to visit. It was great to get out of town for the weekend and do something different. I didn't totally think through the 8 hour drive with two kids alone, but thankfully a DVD player kept Kayden focused and I only had to stop 3 times to feed Emery. Not too shabby!
Kayden loved playing with Rah Rah and her puppy Miss Prissy. Emery was content as long as she was being given attention. We didn't do anything special, just enjoyed a weekend away. Can't wait to go again!
Emery is ready to get out of the car!
Playing with trains outside
Look at my sweet girl! Auntie love shirt and jeggings!
Rah Rah had a DVD player in the car and her's had headphones!
I taught Rah Rah how to use the moby wrap
playing at the children's museum
Can I drive Rah Rah's car? Pretty Please!
Straw fight fun!
Enjoying some sherbet out of the container
Yum!
Sherbet on the head! Silly Rah Rah
Sweet girl smiling!
This kid loves his choo choo's!
Rah Rah wanted to see if he could drink through the super big straw....
Not a problem for this kid!
Miss Prissy wanted some food.....pretty sure she ate more lucky charms during the weekend than Kayden did... just a hunch ;)
Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE our daycare?!?!!!!
It might cost a fortune each week, but there really is no price you can put on the safety, love, teaching and care of your children. I adore our daycare teachers, they truly love the kids they work with. Ever since Kayden moved up to the 3 year old room, his 1 and 2 year old teachers have been "arguing" over who gets Emery when she turns 1. Soooooo THANKFUL!
And every once in a while....more like every day they seem to post pictures. Here are a few! Love seeing the different things they get to see!
It's hard to believe that my little E is three months old! She is getting so big and already has an onery little personality. I guess thats what I deserve! lol
Here are some sneak previews from my photographer! Thanks for being patient with us Andrea!
How cute is this?!!!
I am THE luckiest mama!!!
And this is what happens to our props while we're taking pictures.....
I think its safe to say we all take things for granted at one point or another in our lives. It happens. We are all human. But its realizing that life is too short and taking things for granted isn't worth it. I am definitely trying to enjoy the little things in life right now and focusing on the positive things in life. My world revolves around K & E and I'm ok with that. We find things to do to stay busy, we hang out with friends who have kids and just be silly. Their smiles and laughter melt my heart and make me the happiest person. Its all about the little things.
This is what normally happens when I try to take a family pic.....
So this is normally how things work best. Love my life!
Haning out with Andrea and Reagan and our redneck water park!
Me and my girl!
Andrea was cooking and everyone wanted to be held...pile them on!
LOVE!!!!
K found Chet's pheasant call.......
We went for a walk and found a turtle!
This kid melts my heart. He's taking "notes" in church. God blessed me!
I'm letting him pick out his clothes.....so we end up with Monster pants and rocket ship shirts!
Sweet snuggles for a sick little boy on Friday. He's fighting a cold/allergies.
So Friday night we decided to lay low and go visit daddy, watch a movie and just play inside.
But we had to buy a hot dog cake!
Little miss E
Standing on daddy
Look at that grin!
Brett was getting someone to smile =)
Another round of water play for Kaydena nd Reagan!
It doesn't get much better than this!
And little miss will sleep just about anywhere......Big Bear was keeping a watchful eye
Sweet baby girl
Crazy Kayden!
Showing sister how to play
Mom would you please stop taking pictures and let me sleep?!
we were headed home from the pool on Sunday and Kayden passed out....
He couldn't even finish his chicken nuggets.
Love me some snuggles
Not sure what made him do this but he thought it was hilarious!
He kept saying "I'm stuck!"
Booger mustache anyone?
This would be the cold/allergies we are dealing with. A cough and LOTS of snot!
