Life Lately

Thursday, July 30, 2015

We've been busy lately! I'm soaking up these last couple of weeks I have at home with my kiddos! Here are some pictures from the past few weeks.

TCBY date with Tyler while Daddy is at bowling on Wednesday nights!

Hailey was kind of boring on the date...hehe.

An evening with Oma and Opa

Enjoying those newborn snuggles!

We picked Mikayla up from daycare on one of Tyler's "day's off" and they came home to build a huge fort! They had a blast!

Tyler asked if he could listen to music on the ipad on the way to the creek "with dos headphones on" and before I knew it he looked like this.... It's so funny to hear him singing his heart out without any background music/singing on our end. Cracks me up!

Snuggled in the bed at the creek

Taking a little snooze in little Jake's baby pool. (I needed to set her down to get her area set up and this looked like a comfy spot! There's no water, obviously!)

An attempt to get a swimming picture of Tyler turned into this very ugly face! I keep telling him his face might get stuck like that one day. ;-p

Little Junie playing in the pool!

Sleepy Hailey poolside

Video monitor = addicting! haha!

Still have our hands in fists.

Big toothless boy!

Here's a little video of Tyler showing us how he bowled during a field trip last week. He said "I was awesome, I bowled just like Fred Flinstone." He is in love with that movie and it cracked me up that he remembered the "twinkle toes" bowling scene. HA!

Tyler insisted on wearing jeans to the park the other morning. Luckily I knew better and brought him a change of clothes that he switched to immediately after arriving. Crazy kid!

All dressed up!

Practicing tummy time

Little bedside cutie

Oops. HAHAHA!

We're trying to get Hailey used to bottles for Mrs. Andrea's house. It was NOT going well at first! Luckily I found a new bottle (of course all new bottles!) that she seems to take better. Whew!

I was walking past the kitchen table the other morning and noticed Tyler made a little scene with Hailey's pacifier clip. I love finding little funnies like this throughout the house!

Trying out my bumbo for the first time!! She is doing pretty good for not being quite old enough. It does make her spit up since she gets crouched over so I can't leave her in there too long just yet.

Computer work with Mommy. Think they'll let me bring her to work with me?!

Finding our new routine!

Passed out in the bumbo one morning. ha!

Sweet little praying hands

First crib nap! Hailey is loving her crib naps during the day. I'm not overly confident that she'll love her crib as much at night someday but we'll see. :)

My little smiley girl after a HUGE, super messy diaper blowout in the car seat.

She was so proud of herself...hehe

Last Friday Ms. Andrea invited us over for a splash day. Tyler was reunited with all of his buddies! They're all getting so big!

Another crib nap with "the creeper" hand.

Monday morning Elizabeth, Brandon and Savannah came for a play date! The boys had a BLAST! They came running in the house and said "Mom, we are going hunting in the backyard. We need bags on our feet." haha umm okay!

We made them hold their sisters for a picture before leaving. The boys are 3 days apart and the girls are 3.5 weeks apart!

Scuba Tyler

Tuesday, July 28, 2015

Tyler has been begging for a snorkel set for almost a year now and my dad surprised him with one this past weekend. He was THRILLED! It's a little tricky to learn but he's doing good and having fun! I think he'll be able to master the flippers just a *tad* easier in the big pool...ha!

Hailey hung out in the shade most of Saturday. She was perfectly content in her Daddy's lap. :)

I couldn't get to my camera fast enough to catch a picture of Tyler riding his 4-wheeler with his life jacket on. ha! This kid is always ready for a boat ride! He must have ridden in at least 4 boats Saturday with friends loading and unloading at the boat launch. If there is a moving vehicle or boat, this boy is IN IT. Cracks us up!
