Wow, I can't believe it's been five months since I have blogged! So here you have a long photo catch up from the past few months of our lives. There are so many pictures I am not even going to try to put them in chronological order ...
 |
| I just love watching his sweet little face as he is peacefully sleeping! |
 |
| And here are some not so peaceful faces - are my kids the only ones that fall apart and hang on my legs screaming while I am trying to get dinner on the table? So I decided they could scream in the living room one day, and scream they did! |
 |
| I walked into the kitchen one day and found Jonathan laying on the counter, peacefully coloring. |
 |
| I couldn't resist snapping this photo one Sunday afternoon when I caught him in my shoes :-) |
 |
| Kellen was excited to receive a birthday box from grandparents! She loves her Eyore! |
 |
| A friend made this growth chart for us and I love it! We mark the kids heights on it every few months, and then if we ever move we can easily take it with us! |
 |
| Vroom! |
 |
| Fun with Daddy! |
 |
| We received a box of hand me downs from friends, and this was Jonathan's favorite outfit - Thomas the Train undies and a red hat. |
 |
| J got to sit in a helicopter at a local Easter egg hunt! |
 |
| Jeff built us a farmhouse kitchen table. I love it! It still needs some sanding and finishing, but we are using it in the meantime with a plastic tablecloth over it. He has also made a bench for one long side, and has plans to make another bench in the future. |
 |
| I love this picture! Jonathan's hair cracks me up! |
 |
| Kellen finally cut two teeth at 14 months old! |
 |
| The extra tall, child proof gate was no challenge for our little guy :-( |
 |
| Cool AC on a HOT day! |
 |
| Jonathan and his friend Lynden checking out the turtle that wandered into our yard. |
 |
| I love this breakfast! Coffee and homemade whole wheat pancakes with homemade blueberry syrup - mmmmmm mmmmmm! |
 |
| My husband knows me well. I would much rather have a candy bouquet for Mother's Day than flowers :-) |
 |
| In May we traveled to TN for a family reunion. From there my sister-in-law and I continued on to KY with the kiddos to spend two weeks with my parents. As you can see, the DVD player came in very handy while traveling! |
 |
| It has been so hot here this summer - we don't play outside much unless it's in the water. |
 |
| Jonathan was very tired and had taken a very long nap one afternoon. I decided that it was time to wake him up, so I opened the door, turned on the light, turned off the noise machine, and he was still sleeping soundly. Kellen decided to help me and put this toy on his face - he didn't move a muscle, LOL! |
 |
| Smiley girl! |
 |
| Fun in the water and sun! |
 |
| I think he was a little too big for the baby swing. But boy does this little guy love him some water! He is fearless and has even gone down some big people water slides! |
 |
| Carousel ride with Daddy! |
 |
| Jeff built this beautiful end table for the living room. I love how it turned out! |
 |
| Our little thumb sucker! |
 |
| We have been looking for a mantle the last two years, but have been unable to find one we like. Everything was fancier than what we were wanting. So my awesome husband made us one! And I really like how it turned out! |
 |
| Kellen's hair can't seem to decide if it's going to be curly or straight. But this day it was definitely curly! |
 |
| One evening I decided put the kids outside in the wading pool after dinner, thinking they would play in the clean water and wouldn't need a bath before bed. Jonathan didn't last long in the pool, but loved the dirt! We definitely had baths before bed! |
 |
| We loved having our cousins come for a visit! |
 |
| This little girl has become..... |
 |
| quite a ham! |
 |
| I think her big brother has been giving her lessons on how to be silly :-) |
 |
| We are so thankful God placed these two little ones in our family! |
 |
| Bed heads, lol! I think this is when we decided Jonathan needed a buzz cut for the summer. |
 |
This is what we call a redneck kiddie pool! After playing in the tub for a few days early in the summer, we decided a real kiddie pool would be a good investment.
That's all for now! I have a few more posts I'm hoping to put on here soon. |
