Happy four months Halle!

Today Halle turned four months- wow! She is such a delight and a real joy! She has a real sweet spirit and loves when you look at her and talk- she gets the biggest smile on her face. She is also very intrigued with her daddy. Whenever he talks, she just stares at him like he is the greatest thing (which he is). One of my favorite things to do with her is during Caleb's nap her and I will go lay on our bed and cuddle and I will watch her fall asleep (usually I do too :) it is so cute to see her lay there and the process it takes for her to finally doze off! I also love watching her watch Caleb. Today he was talking (well more like gibberish) to her and she thought it was the funniest thing! Since he is so active, she is constantly watching him go back and forth and throw things across the room and jump off the couch, and whatever else he may do.

Caleb is almost 22 months and is also a real joy! He is a little more temperamental then Halle, but he keeps me on my feet! He is starting to talk a lot more and it is so cute- every day he seems to be saying more and more words. One of his favorite words is of course, Elmo. We don't let him watch tv, by he does watch sesame street on you tube and he absolutely loves it! We found one with the NY Jets playing football with Elmo, and Caleb watches it over and over. He also loves sports- anything to do with a ball. He loves to throw just about anything, and I have to say he has a pretty good arm (I always have to be watching for flying objects around the house). Caleb also really likes to go on walks and point out all the basketball hoops, the big trucks, dogs, and stop signs!

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day was so wonderful for me!

Caleb gave me a wonderful gift and slept

in till 8 (he usually wakes up around 6 am).

While Caleb was still sleeping, Landen went and

got me my favorite drink: an iced caramel latte

and some donuts and then we headed off to church.

After that we met up with Landen's family

for a wonderful bbq at this beach called

Kayak point- is was so much fun! I love

spending time with my beautiful children,

and most of all my best friend and hubby- Landen!

(picture above: Caleb enjoying a chocolate donut-

don't worry their organic, as if that makes a

difference :)

Here is my little doll all dressed up and ready

for church!

Look mom- a shell, or rock- not quite sure

what it is!?

Happy Birthday Hudson!

Here is the birthday boy (Caleb's best bud

and cousin). He turned two on the 1st of May,

but we celebrated his party on the 9th at a park

near their house!

Hudson (and Caleb :) opening presents!

Ummmm Yummy icecream cake!

Halle and Grant enjoying the party together!

Around the house

Here is Halle in her little chair-

quite the ab workout!

Halle loves to jump in her little jumperoo!

When she does she gets the biggest smile

on her face and makes the cutest noises

Here she is in her Jonny Jumper. I put

her in this when I cook dinner and she

loves it!

I have to make sure I keep an eye on her
because her brother loves to "push" her
in the jumper!

Here is our precious little guy!

A day at the beach!

My parents came to visit this weekend

and on Sunday we took the kids to the beach.

The weather was gorgeous and we had a great

time (well Halle slept the whole time).

above: Caleb with this special treat- Apple Juice!

Pictures of our little "Angels"

Halle with her big smile (and big belly :)
She is so strong and loves to stand-
she can't wait to run around with her brother!

Halle just loves her brother and loves to

look at him and she watches every thing

he does!
