Happy Birthday Caitlyn!!!!!!!!

We had a small party for Caitlyn on saturday. A few of her friends and Mudpie Grandma and Grandpa. Caitlyn had a lot of fun playing with her friends, opening her gifts, and of course eating cake!!!!! She wanted a Tinkerbell birthday this year, so with grandma's help we decorated the house Tink style. Can't wait to do it all again in 3 weeks for Andrew!!

Time to POTTY!!!!!

So we went out and bought Andrew a potty chair today....I thought it would take him a while to get the whole idea. I should of known when I put in in the shopping cart and he sat on it the whole time we shopped!!!! So we got home and the first time he sat on it we got pee pee!!!! Caitlyn and I started yelling and clapping. He went the whole evening running around without pants on, going pee pee, and the best part he will even empty it and flush!!! What a smart boy!!!!! We'll just have to see if he keeps it up or will be done with it tomarrow.

Flowers

Grandma Moore a.k.a Mudpie Grandma came down for a short visit. Caitlyn and Andrew really enjoyed her company. We went out and got a few flowers to help make our backyard a little prettier. Caitlyn and Andrew both had a lot of fun with the hose!!!! They each had to change clothes at least 3 times because they kept kept getting so wet!!!!

My little swimmer!!!!!

I can't believe Caitlyn's been swimming for a year now. She went from crying on the edge of the pool to not ever wanting to leave the water!! She is doing amazingly well. Swimming on her own, Jumping in, and now with goggles it has opened up a whole new underwater world for her!!

Happy Holidays!!

Happy New Year!!! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. We had a pretty mellow holiday season. The kids still loved Christmas Morning...Waking up to all those gifts never gets old!!

Christmas Cookies

We decided to make christmas cookies tonight. The kids really enjoyed all the sugar!!!! I caught Andrew chugging sprinkles!!!! Of course the two of them got a little rambuctious after all the sugar and both ended up in time out. Gotta love making memories!!!

Christmas show

Caitlyn had her first Christmas show!!! She dressed up in her Christmas best, then went to school for the show. She got up on stage with the rest of her class and acted bored out of her mind. She barely mouthed the words, hardly did the hand motions, and kept yawning. She even turned around at one point to see if there was anything exciting happening back stage. Good thing I was able to video her!!!!!!

Thanksgiving fun!!!!!

The kids and I were lucky enough to go to Oregon for Thanksgiving. We had a great time visiting with family and friends. I am amazed at how much 4 months will change how the kids play and interact together!!! They had a great time with very little fighting!!! They made some great memories this trip! Can't wait for the next!!

Halloween

Caitlyn wanted to be Fancy Nancy this year. We thought the perfect outfit for Andrew would be the posh puppy. Good thing Grandma Moore is an excellant seamstress, because these costumes were adorable!!!!!!!

Pumpkin Pictures

We went to the pumpkin patch last week. It was sooooo hot that we ended up leaving and took our pumpkins to Jacquies to take some pictures instead. She took some great shots and made us this card. Thanks Jacquie!!!

Peek-a-boo

The kids love playing peek-a-boo. Andrew is soooooo funny, instead of putting his hands over his eyes to hide, he covers his ears. Probably thinks that if he can't hear you he's still hiding!!! Silly kids. Caitlyn and Andrew are really starting to play more, which of course means fighting more too... I sometimes feel as though I should go buy a referee whistle! Andrew is already such a little man... Just look at him with the remote!!!

Out the door

The kids can't wait to get out the door in the morning!!! Caitlyn LOVES school, and wants to go all day every day. Andrew just likes to get outside and play in the rocks!

Redoing Blog

So I tried to update my blog and totally screwed it up!!!!!!! I deleted my original so that I could start over again. So here we go on round 2. Hopefully I will get the hang of it a little faster this time. I will be posting some new picts when I get a chance. For now have to get little miss Caitlyn ready for school!!!
