Sweet boy loves his baths!

Sis likes hers too, she just doesn't know how to express it... hahaha!

Yes, I said MY new toy... a Canon Rebel XTi camera (don't be jealous Meg!)! I LOVE IT!!! Actually, I really have no idea how to 'really' use it yet... but I have been playing around with it tonight trying to figure it all out! I have been wanting a GOOD camera for a while now, and especially since having kiddos... so we were at Cody's cousins house on Memorial Day and Jen (his cousin's wife) mentioned wanting to get a new camera... so I offered to buy hers and WAH-LAH.. it's mine:)

Well, off to eat dinner and watch the National Spelling Bee... Yes, I know I am a dork!

Memorial Day Weekend...

We had people over on Sunday afternoon for a cook-out,
which turned into a full blown party... Kaylie got to meet her
new friend Krystal:) (Krystal is 20 months old and was loving
pushing Kaylie around in her walker!)


Not the best picture of the babies with their Auntie Erin,
but it's the only one we got:)


Parker is OBSESSED with the TV remote! Typical guy:)

Seriously, loves them!!!

We had such a fun weekend!! Tomorrow I will post pics from the beginning of the weekend, but for now here are the pics from today... SO MUCH FUN! It was the kiddos first time to get in a pool and THEY LOVED IT!!! Thanks Aunt Jen and Uncle Mitch:) And I must say Kaylie and Parker did great without their regular naps...they were such troopers!

Fun Day at StrollerFit and to see 'Aunt' Jen!

If pictures could talk.... Kaylie:"What's going on Parker?"
Parker:" I don't know but I like it"...haha!

SO FUN!

Always happy, but especially happy outside!

Growing up WAY too fast:(

We had such a fun day yesterday and the kids were perfect angels!! ( I am not being biased, they really were great... believe me I will be the first one to admit my kids are being little toots..haha!) We went to StrollerFit in Allen, it was outside and the kids loved it! After class we I grabbed a sandwich at Wich Wich? and we had a 'picnic' under a tree:) After we ate we went over and saw 'Aunt Jen'.... the kids were great at her house! Seriously Kaylie has decided that she likes people now...haha! Oh yeah, and Kaylie has her first tooth coming in... WAHOO!

Well, hope that's enough picture to statisfy everyone:) ENJOY!!

StrollerFit and other random tid bits...

They love playing with that pack of wipes... and yes,
Kaylie is naked..haha!


Parker loves his 'brother' Buddy!


Big girl playing with her toys!

And this is how my little man sleeps... so precious!

I just want to squeeze that little booty!!

OK, so I promised to report back on my StrollerFit experience...can I just say MY LEGS ARE SO SORE!!! I seriously feel like I've just gone through the first week of 3 hour practices at SMU. The sad part is... I've only gone through two 50 minute classes of strollerfit and I can hardly walk! I am so glad I signed up though... it really is a great concept having the kids with you (in the stroller) while we workout all throughout the mall... It sounds rediculous and I am sure we look rediculous, but man it is a GREAT workout!! (and just in time for summer!!)

Anyways, so on to some random little tid bits that are going on around here. I feel like its easier to do if I make a list, so here goes:

1. Kaylie is loving being able to sit up like a big girl!

2. Parker would rather be on his belly, but is getting better at sitting up

3. Both of them would rather play with a pack of wipes then any of their toys! (Please remind me why I have bought so many toys? haha)

4. Parker can down a jar of baby food in a bout 3 minutes!

5. Kaylie could careless about eating baby food.

6.They've both discovered that if I take something away from them they want, and they fuss long enough, that they'll get it back (already spoiled... aaaahhh!)

7. Kaylie loves to walk all over the kitchen in her walker.. .mainly to wherever Buddy is!

8. They are both infatuated with Buddy!

9. Parker naps like a champ (knock on wood!)

10. Kaylie has finally decided she likes strangers... or for that matter people that she doesn't see on a daily basis!

11. They go to bed at 6:30p and wake up 6:30a! (Cody and I love having our evenings to ourselves!)

12.They steal each other's toys... ALREADY!

13. They've outgrown their "baby" carseats and are in their "big kid" carseats!

14.Parker is really loving the exhauser now!

15. Had to take Kaylie to the doctor today for a rash that she has (nothing serious)... they weighed her and she weigh 20 lbs 8 oz!!! (Big Chunka Monka girl)

Well, I guess thats about all for now... gotta watch the end of Dancing with the Stars!

Beautiful Weather, Terrible Weather

Precious man loving the swing!


Sweet girl trying to grab the camera!


Love this pic!

And love this one too!

HAHAHA....she fell asleep on the way to the park!

...in the middle of a roll!

Parker playing at Stetson's party... look at those chompers!:)

Kaylie being such a big girl sitting up playing with

her 'cousin' Ridglea...Parker could have cared less about them!

Kaylie getting ready to leave for Stetson's party!

Such a pretty big girl!

Saturday- We hung out at the house in the morning... We had Stetson's party at 1pm in Mansfield... It was suppose to be at the park, but the weather terrible:( It ended up being at Shay's mom's house and was perfect! We had a blast and the kids actually (for the second day in a row) held up pretty great! Kaylie actually let everyone hold her without her freaking out! We got home about 5, put the kids down at 6:30 and went to bed ourselves... exhausted!

Sunday- Today the weather was PERFECT... 74, no wind, not a cloud in the sky! Cody went and played golf with some buddies and mom came over and we took the kids to our new favorite park! The kids absolutely love it.... we went on a mile long walk on these trails that are there, then we headed to the swings (since its the only thing they can do so far...haha)... I am hoping the weather stays this way for a while so we can go to the park everyday!

Monday- Tomorrow I am starting my new workout routine... I am going to join StrollFit... they do it in the mall at 9 am and it sounds rediculous, but you bring the kids in a jogging stroller and workout in the mall while you push the stroller! Doing things like lunges, running, using resistance bands, etc. I am more excited just to meet some new people and possibly some that have kids Kaylie and Parker's age:) Hopefully I don't pass out while pushing the kiddos.. it's been a while since I have actually worked out!!

I will report back tomorrow on how it goes... until then nite nite!
