Kids playing

This is what our 5 days were like when we had company. It was awesome to see the kids have such fun together!

Missing Family

This past weekend my sister and brother-in-law and nephew came to visit us! We had a wonderful time! I can not believe how big my nephew Jack is getting and how much he resembles my dad. It was so good to see Kerri. I miss her so much. You do not realize how much you miss someone until they come and visit you, and then you have to say goodbye all over again. It is like a double-edged sword! And I do not realize how much I miss "home" (Ohio) until someone from "home" comes to visit. This is my favorite time of year in Ohio, I love the fall! All the colors and the smells. Nothing beats a cool, crisp Sunday, watching football and smelling the burning leaves!

Texas on the other hand is just starting to cool off. This is making going out easier again and playing at the park a lot more enjoyable. I do not have to worry about the kids burning themselves on the playground equiptment. I am looking forward for the coming weeks of Halloween and some parties we have planned!

Here are some pictures of our weekend.
Enjoy!

Bath Time

Every night we have the same routine. Bath time starts around 7:45. Tonight was no different. Both kids get in the tub and then we brush our teeth and then I wash them, get them out and dry them off and put their P.J.'s on. All of this takes place in the bathroom (of course) and the dressing takes place in Harper's room. Why Harper's room? I am not sure, but it always has. Tonight for some reason, Brady was really hyper. And I forgot to have his P.J.'s ready for me in Harper's room. After both kids were dry and I had diapers on and only Harper had her P.J.'s on, I ran to Brady's room to grab his. In all of 35 seconds max, Brady had gotten the powder down from the shelf and proceeded to put it all over himself and Harper. I walked into the room when he was spraying it in Harper's face. She was laughing up to the point I yelled, "What are you doing?" Then she looked so scared... Brady just laughed and said "outer, mama outer" I said, "Yes, Brady I see you found the Powder." He then replied "More outer mama, pease?"

(I had the camera ready because I meant to grab some pics of them in the tub)

Rainy Days!

Well it has rained here for the past two days. We are having some serious cabin fever! I am about out of ideas of how to entertain and keep the kids occupied. This is a video of Brady dancing to one of his shows. You can tell by the looks of our playroom that the kids have taken every toy we own out to play with these last few days. On a bright note... I have thrown away every broken and ruined toy! Enjoy!

Family

Last week our Family came to vist, MeMe, GrandDad and uncle Zac. On thursday night we grilled out and had a wonderful dinner. We then went to Rockwall Harbor to see a concert on the lake. We had a really fun time. Brady loved the music and danced to every song. Harper enjoyed

just people watching and being carried around.

Sunday Dinner

Usually every Sunday we have Spaghetti. Josh and I take turns cooking. When Josh makes the sauce, anything and everything he can find in the fridge and the spice rack goes into it. When I make sauce, I just usually make normal, meat sauce. Nothing spectacular but in my opinion, good. Harper is progressing really well with table food. She has an appetite like her brother. She will eat anything you put in front of her. We were blessed with two healthy and hearty eaters.Tonight was her first taste of pasta! She loved it.

I'm Learning to Blog!

This is my first attempt to Blog. A lot of my friends blog about their kids and life. They use this tool to stay in touch with family members and friends that live far away. I thought that it sounded like a good idea, so I am going to try this out.

We are enjoying our summer. It is really hot these days. This is Brady and Harper enjoying time in the baby pool!
