Life lately...

We've just been up to pretty much the same old every day stuff... No complaints here though, we're loving every second of it with these two great kiddos! Or as Chandler would say- awesome kids (he's started to say about himself often "I'm awessssome!" which is true, he really is. Love that little boy!

So here's a few pictures of our recent day-to-days:

Kynzie has been having fun playing her new found game of peek-a-boo!

ignore the disheveled state of her bed, she had just woken up from a nap, and right at the top of her daily post nap to do list, is rip off the ribbon holding the bumper on the crib. Oh what fun! For both of us, believe me. :p

 

We had cousins out to play! Melissa, Romney and Rebecka ( one of chandler's best buds ever!) went for a walk with us while they were visiting for the day. The weather has been so beautiful, and we all enjoyed strolling along while the kids collected all kinds of treasures.

Chandler collected so many sticks, I think He ended up with just about a whole tree...

 

We worked in the yard. Chandler loves his daddy. He follows him around everywhere, and tries to do everything he does, and this was no exception. Jason mowed the lawn, and right behind him drove his little shadow the whole time! It's not the greatest picture, but that's Chandler on his little motorized Four wheeler, trying his best to keep up.

Of course, we all love that daddy of ours, and Kynzie got some coveted daddy time, too.

We watered the plants

 

I sent Chandler out with a jug of water to water my plants. Hmmm. A true farmer at heart, he heads straight for the field and watered that. In the middle of watering, he lifted the jug, and chugged from it, then continued to water the field. I just remembered, I don't think my plants ever did get watered...

 

Kynzie got a bath

 

This girl can chow down! We could barely put the food on her plate fast enough. After her tummy was full, and her hands (and face) a mess, she noticed daddy was resting his head in his hands, and thought she'd try that out too!

That's our past few days in a nutshell! We can't wait to see what other adventures befall us in the days to come, with these fun kids in tow!

 

We're back!

Okay I am officially blogging again! Hopefully I can keep it up to date, so we can print this it yearly as a family journal!

Family Pictures

Cambria Whitby was so great to take these of us a little while ago, and I think she did an awesome job, and we had a lot of fun! Thank you Cambria!!! We also got some of Chandler for his One year old Pictures. We are hoping to get more of him some time, with Cambria's cool props she has. So more 1 year pictures to come!

Chandler's 1st birthday party

Chandler turned 1 over a month ago, and I am finnally getting around to posting the pictures from his party. I'm a little behind, I know...

I made a barn cake, which we put onto a sheet cake, and then made all these little cupcake animals. All the kids gathered around and helped him open his presents, one of them being a shirt that says "Big brother" which was our way of announcing there's another baby on the way for us!

All day, Chandler kept reaching towards the bright cupcakes and was all disappointed when I would pull him away. So here he is finally with a coveted cupcake.

After the party, Chandler had a good time playing in the streamers with Grandpa McGary!

Happy FIRST Birthday, Chandler! (once you open, click the left arrow to move in chronological order. You can zoom in by pushing the up arrow in the middle) Sorry this doesn't give me the option to change title font color.

Seattle

We were able to go to Seattle last week, since Jason needed to take a test up there; it was really fun to get to spend some time together as a family-we had not really gone anywhere for a long time.  The first day we went downtown and walked around, making our way to Pike's place market, which is always full of life and good food.  I sound like a travel brochure...The next day we went up to city center, and peeked into the windows of the museums that we were too cheap to pay to get into.  Based on what we saw from outside, we don't feel like we missed much though.    
The first picture above is Chandler doing so well on the drive and getting his first glimpse of the big city. I like to think he actually registered what he saw...but he was probably more interested in his cheerios if we're being honest.  He does love his big boy car seat though!!

 Chandler loved chasing the seagulls around everywhere we went.  This was at Seattle Center.  At Pikes's place market, we let him out to walk, and there were pigeons inside there that he thought was great fun to follow around and around in circles.

 Right under the Space needle

 Loving the sweet n' tarty goodness of his first Jamba Juice! (Strawberry surf rider-mmmmmm!!)

 Getting a Piggy back ride at pikes place.

...Still slurping away on what he thought was HIS Jamba juice.  He wasnt too happy when we pryed it from his fingers...


We had a lot of fun on our little trip!  Chandler was really acting like a big boy, and was so funny and lots of fun to be with.  Yay for family vacations!!
