Happy Birthday Carli Cakes!!

Oh my beautiful Carli cakes!  I still am not sure where we got you, but I wouldn't take you back for a million bucks.  You make me laugh every day and are such a joy in our family.  Happy birthday biggest girl.  

Carli with her very fancy, Fancy Nancy doll.  She believes she is Fancy Nancy!  (I kinda agree!!)

Crawling & Teeth!

Kyle is 6 months old today and FINALLY got his 2 bottom teeth yesterday!  He has been the latest of my kids to get teeth (Carli and Nate both had some by 4 months).  Poor boy, Poor mom.  I have been saying for the last 2 months, that if he doesn't get them this week...I don't know what, they have to be close!  

He's now back to his happy self, and busy learning how to crawl.  For now, its a little more of a rock, rock, face plant kinda crawl...but he's getting there! 

Carli's Girl

Here is Carli on her 1st day of Preschool!  She was excited to get back to see her friends from last year.  She has grown a ton, and is ready to learn!  We had a great time working on her 1st project of the year!  She was very particular on what was going to be on her girl.  She had to have a dress!  Not a skirt!  And there was NO WAY I was going to cut up one of her necklaces to glue on the girl.  And check out those goggles.  Too funny.  She makes me laugh.  Its so Carli in every way.  Love you girl.  

"Dang It"

Carli has been my best helper lately.  Her favorite thing to help with is emptying the dishwasher, but for some reason she wasn't in the mood for it today.  When I told her to come get to work, she walked on over and asked, "can I say, "dang-it"".  It was all I could do to keep from laughing.  "No, Carli, you cant say that!"

No Pictures...

Its true what they say...I have for sure not been as good at taking pictures of Kyle as I was with Carli.  I'm so sad about it.  I will try and make up for it over the next few months.  

In my defense, we haven't done anything too exciting, the last few weeks.  :)

Happy Birthday Nate Dawg!

I went Potty!!

Call me crazy, but we have begun the first attempt at potty training Nate!  I know he wont be 2 until next week, but if he can learn how to swim at this age, don't you think he can learn this one too?  So far he is doing fairly well.  Just a few mistakes and a few major fits, but thats to be expected I guess.  Here are some pictures. 

(Because every picture has to be taken on the fireplace)

I'm sure he will appreciate that I cropped out the princess shoes he was wearing in both pictures.  He makes me laugh.
