First Day of Preschool

Monday was our first official day of preschool. The boys and I had a great day!

Here's Andrew's new 3-year-old class. His teachers are Mrs. Beth and Mrs. Maddee.


He loves his new dinosaur backpack.


Owen is holding his cuddle gram for the day. That shows us his schedule and how he did for the day. As always, he was happy and played all morning.



Here's a picture of my sweet little class.

The Boys

We are so blessed to be parents of these precious boys!

Summer Fun!

We have had an awesome summer! I was incredibly blessed to spend the past few months at home with my boys while I was babysitting 3 other precious children. Andrew had a blast playing with them, and I loved being a part of it each day!

We had a lot of water days...

This is Andrew and Turner.





Owen wants to be right in the middle of Andrew's toys.

Who needs toys when you can just play with Tupperware?

Making chips with Play Do

Here's a short video of the boys playing. Andrew loves to race his cars, and Owen thinks he is hilarious!

Owen-9 months

It's hard to believe that Owen is 9 months old. In the past month, he's gone from scooting to creeping to crawling very quickly. Now he's everywhere and into everything. He's the complete opposite of his brother. Andrew was a cautious child and took his time moving. Owen will get to anything he wants and will attempt to dive off the couch or bed in a heartbeat. He's had quite a few bumps from trying to get into the trash can, shelves, bags, baskets, etc. He's definitely keeping us on our toes these days :) He is still any easy going little guy and is always smiling. We certainly love this sweet little guy!



Owen's baby dedication was this past Sunday, August 7th.

Sometimes it's hard to get the boys to cooperate on pics, so we'll try anything to get them to look at the camera.





Getting into mischief. Shortly after this, he was trying to get to the plunger.


He loves to watch Chip from our back door.

Here are a few things for my records:

• He's 24 pounds 14 ounces (95th percentile) and 30 inches long (90th percentile)
  
• Wearing 18 month clothes and size 4 diapers
• Crawling, pulling up to his knees, and taking a few steps around the furniture
• Eating some pick-up food and seems to like everything but peas. Sweet potatoes are a favorite!
• He has 2 teeth on the bottom and loves to have them brushed
• Points his finger at things. Most of the time it's covered in drool.
• Gibber gabbers all day long with a few syllables here and there. I hear "ma ma" more than anything :)
• Likes to make kissing and motor boat noises
  
• Loves to read stories or at least flip the pages
• Sleeps with his little puppy that makes soothing sounds
• Tries to get his hands on any paper he sees. It's almost a daily thing for us to stop him from eating it.
• Started a little discipline this week and he's learning the word "no"
  
• Loves playing with his big brother!
