Helping Carys Keep Warm

Into EVERYTHING!

Clapping

Corey and I don't recall Caedmon clapping as a baby, but Carys figured out how to put her hands together around the end of February and now when we say "yay!" she claps! It's adorable!

Enjoying Mama's Bed

This is the headboard of Corey's and my bed:)
and she's eating my cell phone - yum:/

Cute

When she's a little older, bathing them together will be easier! For now, I'll keep them separate and conserve some energy!:)

"Baking"

or rather mixing things and making messes!:) I threw a bunch of ingredients into small containers and let him go to town with pouring and mixing. He loved it, but when the runny mixture started flowing onto the floor, I was done. :)

Fun in the Ducky

I'm often hard pressed to keep Caedmon out of the duck when I give Carys a bath.
Thank goodness she didn't mind him crowding her space this time around!:)

Kids and the Dog

Just Plain Cute

Feeding His Sister

He didn't end up eating a whole lot of his applesauce.
He's so sweet when he wants to share!:)

One In, One Out

Hanging Out in TC with Friends

Friends from Corey's hometown came over to TC to get some R&R and called us up to come hang out. It was good to see them and the kids had fun together. I'm always thankful when Caedmon has a chance to be around children his age and he actually interacts!:)

Trying to get the girls in a photo together

Carys was born 2 1/2 weeks before Sophia

Madeline and Caedmon enjoying the hotel pool

She did not enjoy this so much until
mommy went and got her bathing suit on -
then she loved it!

Caedmon sporting his speedo.:)
He didn't like his swim trunks
and would have taken the swim diaper off if I'd let him.
He didn't like the pool either till mommy got in
(can't a mom get a break?! (: ).

Coloring

We started out with just the dads in their swimwear
and only one kid in the pool;
when the moms got in, all the kids came as well!:)

We also headed over to the mall for lunch, a carousel ride and the play area.
The kids stepped into the picture booth and had some fun!
Caedmon was obsessed with this strip of pictures for a couple days.
It'll be fun for them to look back when they're teenagers!:)

Thanks for a good time Crulls!

One Up, One Down

This gate is across the doorway going down to our basement. Caedmon likes to be down there and I like to be able to listen for him, but Carys goes right for those stairs at break neck speed, so the gate is the solution. I thought this was cute.:)

Feeding Herself

Their First Basketball Game

A few weeks back, I went to a high school basketball game to support a friend in the cheerleading squad and had a blast! Boy did I ever feel old; the high schoolers looked like kids out there, which is what they are of course, but back when I was a peer, they seemed so old looking!:)

We decided to attempt the whole family going. The kids did really well and Corey and I enjoyed a nail biter of a game! I love high school basketball!

Trying to keep them occupied - it was past bedtime.

Already a Casanova - the girls kept him busy with popcorn.:)

Every time I'm in that high school, I start thinking about my kids walking the halls one day...agghh! Glad I have awhile, although I know how time flies!
