Our Week

Great weather for a visit to the park!

Connor found an old tree that he loved climbing on and he cleaned off the stump!

Caylee has been eyeing a pair of Connor's underwear in the clean laundry pile for days and she kept trying to put them on...so I helped her out!

Miss Piggy stole Connor's bacon right off his plate!  And then later she stole his bowl of spaghetti off the table!

A trip to Ikea with Mama

Annual Leaf Photos

The leaves are back and it's time for some major yard cleaning.  Caylee never got to play in the leaves before, so this was her first time.  This was also her first time in her new boots, so she wouldn't really do much besides stand in one place or sit!

Connor loves jumping in the big piles!

Once Caylee saw how we could throw leaves in the air and watch them fall, she loved it!  Check out that fall chic fashion!

Both are 16 months and laying in the same spot in the living room for the photo.  So cool to see!

Labor Day Weekend Fun

It was nice to get back to "normal" after a long 2 weeks, but it does feel a little different with one member of our family that's gone.  We had a lot to do to catch up from the past couple of weeks, but we wanted to have some quality time together during one of the last summer weekends.  On Saturday, we went to one of my favorite summer festivals where Connor made a giraffe mask.

After naps, we promised Connor we could play with his water balloons!  Those are on video, but I caught this little bikini girl on camera!

Connor found the missing Minnie Mouse sticker in the grass that disappeared on maybe Wednesday.  That thing survived 4 days outside on the lawn!

Our Week

New Lightning McQueen stickers were a hit! I saw them at the store and couldn't resist.  He's already asked to play with them three times since I brought them home.

Caylee & Grandpa

Connor has been playing "library" a lot recently in our room

Batman shirts!

On Wednesday, Caylee stayed home with Grammy since she had a fever and couldn't go to daycare.  They did yoga...

And took a nap together! Her fever went down, but her cold and cough didn't get better.  On Saturday, I took her to the doctor and found out she had an ear infection in her left ear.  Poor girl :(

Toga party while doing laundry!

Doesn't every brother brush his sister's hair with a pastry brush?

Our Week

Girly selfie on night with a blue balloon!

We finally had extra time to go to the park one evening after dinner and Caylee finally decided she loved the swings!

I did a pretty good job of convincing her that they're fun!

He looks so big here!

Our Weekend

Everyone met at Steak & Shake for a fun dinner out.  The waitress gave us little red cars to put together while we waited for our food and the kids had a great time decorating & playing with them.

I love this photo!  I showed her how to "drive" her car!

On Saturday morning, we got up extra early (thanks Connor), so we ran to McDonalds for a special breakfast and then headed to basketball class.  While he still needs work with dribbling, Connor impressed us with his rebounding skills.  He took it so seriously that he was wrestling the ball to the floor to get it before anyone else did.  He was actually the only kid who paid any attention to the ball right after it went into the net!

This photo is so great because it reminds me of all the photos of Daddy playing as a kid.

The kids got to play their first "game" for just a few minutes.  He got the ball once, didn't dribble, but he ran to the basket and tried to shoot!

After class, we played at the park and then headed to Jack's 4th birthday party!

Jack's cars were a huge hit, so they all took turns driving around in circles on the driveway.

Umm, no. That didn't last long.

Seriously.  The lace leggings and zebra print looked so cute!  Too bad she ripped a hole in her leggings during the party!
