new ideas

He came up with this on his own... well, at least he isn't drinking out of the dog dish anymore!

Baby Girls

Here are the 'twins' together finally, outside the womb! We enjoyed having Savonne and Amina over for the girl's first playdate.

Ruby Anna Larie One Month Old

It's hard to believe she is already one month old today. I had to put her in her special dress Aunt Florence made just for her. We've greatly enjoyed her first month and are looking forward to many more!

sleeping beauties

last night both kids fell asleep an hour before their normal bedtime while snuggling in our bed...

Thank you Kara!

Thank you Misty

He LOVES his skates! Thank you, Misty (and kids!)! They are getting a lot of great use!




He even fell down and I tried to get a pic, but he hopped up too quickly! :)

Baby Ruby Four Weeks

Four weeks old already!

i had to fight the window for her attention... i lost.


hello!
many pics with blurry body parts...she's ALWAYS moving something when she's awake!

close up


the 'no eye control' thing drives me nuts!
mommy's little girl

knee high

i found this outfit a long time ago and got it because it reminded me of my sister (and this outfit was probably around when my sis was little!), and thought it was cute on Ruby. bryan however was worried her legs would get cold so he picked her out some socks...that went to her knees. what can i say? she didn't get cold! :)


the collar bugged me, but she didn't seem to mind

cozy toes...feet... legs...


she rarely sleeps with her hands up...noah always had to have his hands up...

stylin and scootin

noah has been wanting to choose his own outfits more and more lately. unfortunately, i think he gets his dressing skills from his mama... he didn't do too badly on this day, well...except for the dress shoes, which he was adamant about wearing. He carried his stool into the family room and decided to do step aerobics, going up and down while wearing his shiny shoes. gotta love him!

posing for mommy

posing...again...

this is my little scooter. wherever we set her down, she pushes with her legs and scoots all over! we have to watch her if we put her on our bed or couch! i put her in her bed awake and she scooted higher and higher until she fell asleep under the canopy. and of course being under the 'hug me' heart fits just perfectly!

Best Buds Again

Amy and I were finally able to get the boys together to go swimming!! We went to the water park in GC and had a super time! It was definitely different than last summer now that both boys can walk...make that RUN!! they were all over! it was so cute to see them play together.

look at kaden's smile!

they liked the mini fountains... kaden's favorite was sitting on them!

this is what ruby did... :) of course when Amy wasn't carrying her around, or when she wasn't being passed back and forth while we took turns chasing the boys! yes, the sunhat is WAY big...

TOO adorable!

noah is holding kaden's wrist, but it was a mutual handholding...they just couldn't quite figure it out. Good Buddies!

Another day at the zoo

yet another day at the zoo... but i do enjoy going! :) i love the pics of bryan on the rides with noah... it was hilarious to see him squeeze his long legs into those things! and then you can barely see noah! but i think it's neat that every time we go, noah has a blast... it doesn't matter if we were just there a few days before!
