Potty training....

Not sure if its gonna be possible to jump start potty training with this kid. He has zero interest....

Rah Rah in Africa - Updated

For the past several years, my sister has gone to Africa during the summer on a mission trip. Its a two week trip and she always comes back full of life and has amazing stories. My family and I try every year to support her and donate anything that we can to the kids. They deserve everything that we have here. This year I've been a little bit more involved and more excited for her trip. This is definitely something I desire to do, if I ever get the chance. Maybe once the kids are big I can take part in something like this!

This year the group they are with have been posting pictures to facebook and instagram. Its been fun to see the pics daily. And today, they are traveling and are at a wildlife lodge. Whats even cooler is the lodge has a live webcam! Thankfully Sarah has text, so I told her to go to the deck and wave and she did!!! Technology is super awesome that I can see her live in Africa while I'm just hanging out here at work. =)  Here are some of the pictures they have posted of her, and then the ones I got of her on the webcam.

Her spy glasses...

 

No joke. They secretly record to a memory card.

Sarah, Aristea, and Michelle!

Sarah has her hands in the air.

Love this!!!!

 

Totally recorded it! If only it would have had sound! Lol

 

Safe travels coming home in 3 days!!!!

 

This year I found I love Jesus slap bracelets at hobby lobby and sent enough for all the kids. Sarah just sent me this!!!

 

Showing off their bracelets

 

I'm in LOVE!!!

 

I love weekends!

I adore weekends at home with my babies. Nothing is better than being silly and snuggling all weekend. Throw in some time with daddy, dinner out, swimming at the pool,  and nap time and life just doesn't get much better. Thats all we did this weekend. Friday night we hung out at home. E was a little cranky so thankfully we were able to just chill. Saturday, we just relaxed at the house, took a glorious 3 hour nap, and went to dinner with Brett. Sunday it was church, then we headed to dads house to swim in the pool and back home for dinner and baths.

Kayden got to pick out some mini cupcakes....notice what part he ate first...

So sweet when sleeping

Kayden let Emery play with his rocketship

A little bit of tummy time

 

He loves his tools

This was more of how Friday night went....

Snuggles with my main man

Its almost impossible to get them both to look

But aren't they CUTE?!?!?!

And love this little booger

If everyone is sleeping in my bed, where do I sleep???

This girl adores standing on the bathroom counter just looking in the mirror.

The baby she see's is so cool! hahaha

And here's my precious girl before church!

Water Play Day at School

Today was a water day at school....and there have been a couple of pictures posted. Kayden looks like he had a blast!!!! .....although I totally forgot to send water appropriate shoes. Oh well....

Jake and Kayden

best buds =)

Exersaucer for Emery

Since little miss Emery likes to stand up so much, we decided to get her an exersaucer so she could stand up on her own...which might allow mom to get some things done around the house.

Look at my big girl!

She's still small, so we have to stuff an entire blanket in front of her to keep her upright

This is kinda fun!

 

My silly boy

 

Can't have a video of one wiht out the other!

 

And some other pictures from the past week/weekend

I'm boring I guess

Its almost impossible to get both to look at the camera at the same time!

And how cute is this girl??!!!!

And it only took me 3 months to paint E's little baby toes! Sooooo cute!!!!

The evolution of how to eat an ice cream cone

Now that its hott, the ice cream truck has started to make its rounds. Luckily we were playing outside when it did, so I grabbed some money and Kayden and I got some ice cream cones! Fabulous idea.
Good thing we were outside..........here's why....

The start of something wonderful...

Yeah!!! Ice cream!!!!

 

Whats it doing on your belly?

I'll just wipe that off...

 

Its melting!

Oh so good!

All done!

Following this....I washed him with the hose! Hahaha....he loved it.
