Car jammies

I'm sorting through clothes that are to small and clothes for the fall when Luke saw these Car pajamas and insisted on wearing them.... The fact that it's 105* out didn't matter! Good thing it's nice and cool in the house because I couldn't get these jammies off him that night!

This sound makes me happy!

I love that my washer and dryer "sing" to me when the cycle is done! It makes doing the laundry a little bit nicer!

We've got a climber!

Only problem is that she doesn't know how to get down yet!

Fake camping

Here are some pictures from last weekend. Michael decided that it would be fun to go camping with Luke. We had an authentic camping experience- with all the comforts of home! The night started with foil dinners. S'mores for dessert, Luke made a double decker s'more.... I'm calling it "The McS'more"! Then stories in the tent we set up in the spare room. Luke was just so excited! He wouldn't settle down to sleep, so at 10:30 we called it quits and put him down in his own bed- didn't take long for him to fall asleep then! It was a really fun night, and I'm sure we'll be doing it again!

I found the missing toys....

I was helping Luke in the downstairs bathroom this morning when I noticed these toys on the floor behind the toilet.

Me: "Luke? What is Noah doing here in the bathroom?"

Luke: "Noah go pee pee!".

So there you have it. I have no idea when Luke put Noah there, maybe last night when we were cleaning up.

Friends for breakfast

Luke decided that Buzz needed to eat too!

A little backward

If this seems a little backward; you're right! We had workers at the house all day on Tuesday and I had to keep the kids out of certain areas throughout the day. After naps I had to contain the kids in the living room, but promised Luke he could have ice cream after he woke up (to stay cool since out a/c is out too!). I didn't want Cassie getting Luke and his ice cream, and I didn't want Luke to spill- we don't eat in the living room, so I thought this was perfect!

Cassie's first birthday!

I realized that I hadn't posted anything for Cassie's first birthday- over a month ago! So.... here are just a few pictures! We just had a simple celebration, cake, ice cream, and a few gifts. And we actually celebrated her birthday on a Saturday afternoon before lunch (every child's dream, right; dessert first!) but it worked better for us that way since both kids were happy right after naps!

TV time

Luke really likes to watch The Backyardigans (ok, we do too!) We have a lot of them recorded on the DVR so they are easy to pick and watch. This is Luke watching Robot Rampage. It's hard to hear the tv on the video clip, but Luke will repeat when they say "all systems a okay!". It's really cute when I hear him repeat this through out the day randomly, like when he's suppose to be napping!!

Random cuteness!

On somedays the kids look really big to me:(. I guess that's all apart of growing up! It's fun to see them playing together and to see the personality that each of them have!

Looking out the window

Ender sleeps in our room at night, and often this is how you can find him. Apparently Luke also likes to look out of the window like Ender does! Must be a pretty good view! This picture of Luke was taken one morning when Luke snuck into our room, and I was awake enough to grab my phone that was under my pillow and snap a quick picture!

Pretty sky

I went out the other night to do some shopping. This is what the sky
looked like when I came out of the store about 9pm. I had to stop in
my tracks and snap a few pictures! I have no idea what caused (if
anything) the sky to look like this, or why it looked like this. It
looked much better and more awesome in person, and at that moment I
wish I'd had a better camera!

Matching

Today at lunch Luke decided to match the colors of his dishes
together. He had one too many blue pieces of silverware and one for
his glass of milk, but other than that he did great; no help from me!
And in this picture he is counting the jelly beans he got for going
pee pee in the potty!

Random Luke cuteness

Just goofing around! He figured out how to do the spoon on his nose
all by himself after seeing it on Yo Gabba Gabba!

Cassie gets the crayons

Luke was coloring and left the crayons where Cassie could get them.
She had to stand on her tippy toes, but she did get them! And I live
the look on her face! A look of accomplishment! She was rather mad
though, when I had to take them away because she wad eating them!

Copy cat

You can often find Ender like this: on his back with his paws up and
bent. I was taking this picture of Ender one day, and I turned around
to find Luke on his back with his hands getting ready to look like
Ender. Luke really loves Ender! So much that on Saturday Luke came
with me to rake Ender to be groomed at Petsmart. Luke was sooo upset
when we had to leave without Ender, many tears were shed!

The slide

Luke must have no fear when it comes to the park. We met up with
family at this fun park and let the kids play. Before I knew it, Luke
had climbed all the way up to the top and was at the bottom in no
time! It's quite a big slide, and from the looks of it you would
think that it would shoot kids right off and plop them on the ground,
but they just stop right at the bottom and them climb off! Luke also
loves the twisty slides. But I would have to say that my favorite part
when Luke goes down ant slide is the way his hair gets all static like
and sticks all out!

His pb&j got the better of him!

I mean really, who gets jam to drip out of his nose while eating?!
And he does give the best sticky kisses ever!

Luke and his orange balloon!

Michael took Luke to Home Depot on Saturday and while they were there
Luke got a balloon! I was upstairs when they came home and all I
could hear was Luke saying his version of balloon- over, and over, and
over again!! He was so excited! I think this is the very first
ballon that he has been given that has just been for him! I mean,
he's had ballon to play with- they just have never floated like this
one! Here in the picture he was trying to blow it up like the other
balloons that he's played with before! Luke was rather disappointed
when he woke up the next day and found the balloon on the floor, he
kept trying to put it back in the air.

Us

We went to visit friends yesterday for a baby blessing. Someone took
these pictures of us and I was able to get them emailed to us (thanks
Erica!) so we can enjoy them! I think it's hilarious that Cassie
looks so huge! If she's anything like Luke she will start sliming out
when she starts walking! And lately Cassie has been looking long to
me- so it will be interesting to see her 1 year stats in a month.
I think these pictures turned out really well! And we had so much
fun, as always, when we get together with friends!
