There's a NEW Cowboy in town...

I promise I did not set this pic up! Caiden always likes to be some kind of animal after he gets out of the shower (ie. the duck towel), but on this day he decided to be a DUCK COWBOY.

Vote Needed!

Okay so as I was feeding Big E and a random thought came to mind. Imagine that....ANYWAY, I need you all to help sort it out.
IS IT ME or ETHAN that causes the baby food to get everywhere?
You would think by the second kid that I would have the art of feeding an infant down to a "T", yet that does not seem to be the case. Don't worry the fear in his face really is just hunger. I can't seem to feed him fast enough (that is if he isn't eating a green veggie!). I believe at this time he is giving me the " I can't believe you have stopped my feeding to take a picture so everyone can see how messy YOU are!" Well, that is what I think he is saying/thinking. You may interpret it a little differently!

About Time....

Okay so I have FINALLY posted some new pics of the boys. They are changing so much!! Caiden LOVES to play games on the internet now (yes I have another internet junkie on my hands!) and Ethan always wants to sit up and laughs alot now. Caiden is saying new phrases everyday...we have to be very careful what comes out of our mouth now! Ethan has not rolled over again since Christmas morning but I am still hopeful. Now please spare enough time, this is a long one since I have neglected my motherly duties of posting pics! Oh and I have to give the background so they seem as funny to you as they did to us!



No I don't lock my kid in a dog cage at night...this is him and his friend at her b-day she got a puppy and they wanted to play with it (this is the same girl that got a 4wheeler too).

Now this pic is what I like to call "Brotherly Love"...and yes I do have an obsession with them wearing matching pjs.

Milk just wasn't fillin' up my chunkster anymore so we had to start on some baby food. The lovely color you are seeing in this pic on his face is called sweet potato. I think he rather enjoyed it!

Caiden's friend got this for her 3rd b-day (different friend form the gym party...remember he is a social butterfly) and he wanted to ride but kept chickening out when we would put him on it. So once again I made him ride it kicking and screaming (all because I just knew he would love it). After we were on it I asked him if he was having fun and he said no but after the first ride he kept wanting to ride but only with mommy.

Caiden went to a b-day party at a gym and was playing (I call it hanging) on the low bar.

Okay so the story behind this pic is that Caiden likes to play with anything we try to give Ethan...normal is what I hear. Anyway, so we pull out the saucer for big E and Caiden decides that he need to bang on the toys and make the saucer bounce. Well naturally that send E into a big scare and he begins to cry. I have to take him out to calm him down and being the mother that I am (taking more and more after my grandma odle when it comes to pics) I make him get back in so we can get that pic of his first time in (ie the face of terror).

WOW...our first family photo at Christmas time...lets be honest by this time it took more than one shot. Look at the enthusiasm on Ethan's face!!

Yes...I became THAT mother this Christmas and forced my child to decorate cookies...as you can see that went far all he wanted to do was eat it and I did all the decorating.

Can you believe that this great shot only took one try :)

He loves to sit up...but he still needs some assistance from the bumbo.
So we got a little bored after opening up the mail....but whoever knew envelopes made such good hats!!

So you may have noticed that the order of the pics was backwards. I am still all new at the blog thing so hopefully I can figure it out for next time! You would think I could do all of this since I teach Web Page Design. HA!

I hope you have enjoyed the updates and please keep us all in your prayers. We have had some tough times with John and I both going back to work. Caiden is starting to get better about dealing with it but he still has his moments. God has blessed us with a buyer for the current house and we will be moving into the new house next month!!
