Remingtin the mommy - 21 months

Remingtin is really into imaginary play lately. I got out some baby dolls, a cradle, a stroller, etc. and she was the happiest little girl. She played "mommy" for hours!

Babysitters = FUN!

Our kids love to have babysitters!

Can you figure out why?

We need a hat intervention...

Remingtin has loved hats from the day she was born. She still tries to put everything on her head like a hat. Got some cute pictures that she is going to LOVE when she gets older. :-)

Our first one to move out...

Jaedin & Talin really like to go into their room sometimes and shut Remingtin out so they can play "big kid" games with "big kid" toys. Remi does not always like this! I was in the kitchen and here comes Remi with a suitcase, camera, & purse...telling me "I go nana's, I go nana's"...think she had finally had enough of being left out and was hitting the road. Poor thing!

Jaedin & Talin being silly.

We LOVE this weather!

I can't believe the August weather! We LOVE it...prefect for playing outside! (Talin said he was "too busy" for pictures this day.)

Still loving school!

Jaedin is still loving school! Her favorite part so far is PE & recess. What about library time with mom???

Jaedin's journey begins!

This is such a bittersweet day at our house. Our little girl is starting school...and she is so very excited!!! Jaedin could barely sleep because she was so excited for kindergarten. I could barely sleep because I was so excited for her...and also sad that my little girl is growing up so fast. I still remember being pregnant with her and bringing her home from the hospital. So many changes this school year, Jaedin will be going to school all day, every day and I will be working in the library at the 2 elementary schools in our district. I get to see Jaedin for library 2 times every week. We are very lucky to have Ms. Johnson as Jaedin's teacher...we can't wait to watch her grow this year!

Twas the night before...

KINDERGARTEN!!!! Jaedin starts school tomorrow. Oh where, oh where did the time go? She LOVED getting tons of mail wishing her good luck in school. Everyday, she wants to check the mailbox to see if something might be in there for her. THANKS to everyone who sent well wishes!

The money from papa Mike & gma Bonnie added an extra smile!

Little Red Boots...

Remingtin decided she wanted to wear Jaedin's old red boots... and she loves them! We think she looks pretty cute in them too...especially when she's wearing more than just her pajama bottoms!

Playtime...

Here's some pictures of the kiddos loving summer!

Talin's 3rd Birthday Party!

Talin had so much fun at his 3rd birthday party! It was a construction theme - he does love his trucks! The only thing he asked for this year was a pinata full of candy. More pics to come...

The Birthday Boy!

If you know Talin, you know that he is not a "sweets" type of kid...he loves his meat & potatoes. For his birthday dinner, I wanted to make him a cake or cupcakes so he could blow out some candles but he only wanted meatballs (& pringles, his other favorite). Only Talin! He also got to open his presents from mommy & daddy (and Jae & Remi) and one present from his nana. It got him very excited for his party! His big present this year was a sandbox...he loves it!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Talin!!!!

The little helper...

Remi got a chance to help daddy put in a new kitchen faucet...she was in heaven with all the tools! It's okay that the project took twice as long, right?

Friday Night Boat Crew (Take II)

We took the boat out again for a Friday night cruise and group dinner. This time the Spurling's, the Wheeler's and Mr. Todd went with us. It was F U N!!! We had some dancin' on the boat and a lot of singin'. To top the night off, we WON Trivia Night at Boondocker's and left $50 richer!!!
