I'm not sure this...

is very comfortable. Katelyn decided to wake up at 5:30 this morning and that was too early for me. So I let her fuss for awhile and she fell asleep again. This is how I found her at 7:00 am.

Water Cheetos Anyone?

Luke has been "cooking" with water, bowls, and a spoon for the last couple of days. Here he is making some water cheetos. You should try them, they taste just like water.

The Proper Way to Eat Cake

Step 1: Pick up the whole piece of cake with one hand.





Step 2: Close your eyes and use two hands to stuff as much cake as you can in your mouth.






Step 3: Check to see if you made a big mess.





Step 4: After the first round, beg for more
cake and ice cream.




Step 5: When the begging doesn't work, crying usually does.







Last Step: After your mom gives in and gives you another tiny piece, eat it and than lick the spatula that she accidentally left on your high chair tray.

Numero Uno!

From this little baby so sweet and cuddly in grandma's arms tothis one year old who is so full of energy

loves feeding herself cake, and is still sweet.

It really is hard to believe a year has gone by already. I was working on Katelyn's baby book last night ( I know, I am quite behind, but I am determined to finish it before she starts school.) and seeing all her baby pictures brings back so many memories. Some memories that I am glad are over, like the colic stage, but most of them I really miss. But that's life and there are so many more fun and exciting memories and milestones to come.

This is what has been goin' on...

Playing in the rain!

Painting wooden airplanes.

Replacing dead plants with new plants in the front yard.

Celebrating Katelyn's and Nathan's birthdays.
(They are a week apart, Nathan was one on the 1st and Katelyn will be one tomorrow!)

Devouring cake! It is what we do best!

Emptying all the kitchen cupboards.
