Playing with New Toys

Connor and Caitlin were given so many new toys for their birthday, you'd think they wouldn't fight over them. Here she is trying to push Connor's hand off of the music table.



Uncle Jeff and Aunt Lynne gave the kids My Pal Scout and My Pal Violet.


Connor was playing with Scout this morning, Violet kinda startled Caitlin when it wished her a good morning by name! But she loves playing with Violet now. It plays her favorite songs!

The First Birthday!

Yesterday was Connor and Caitlin's first birthday! Man, where did the time go? It seems like yesterday they were this:

This is them today:


We had a small gathering of family over to help celebrate their big day. We were lucky enough both Grandma's were able to fly in. In total we approximately 20 people here. We decorated the house with balloons which the kids loved.





When it came time for cake, the kids didn't need any help figuring out what they needed to do!




The white colored clothes may not have the best color to have them wear with blue and red frosting, but with a little bit of Dreft laundry soap, they were as clean as the day I bought them.
They had a wonderful birthday!

Yum! Breakfast!

We are getting close to the year old marker. I have started introducing milk to the kids in their sippy cups. They seemed to enjoy it, especially Connor.


Here are pictures I took of them yesterday morning.



They love the speaker cabinet in the entertainment center so much, I had to take the cover off.

Pajama Time!

Day 3 of the rain storm that dumped 23 inches of rain here in the north west part of Georgia.

Tough Choice

I don't know which picture I like more.........

They both make me giggle.

Knee Running!

We call this Knee Running. It should be an Olympic sport!

Playroom update

Me and Jayson decided to make a playroom for Connor and Caitlin's first birthday.
Here are pictures of before:

Here are the afters:

It looks like Sesame Street invade the basement! We are not exactly done, it needs a few more small things, but the kids seem to enjoy the wide open area.
