THAT outfit

Kayleigh has an obsession with this outfit. The top she got for Christmas from my grandma, the bottoms are some sweat pants that happen to match the top. She wants to wear them every single time we walk in the house from being somewhere. Sometimes she sneaks them out of the laundry hamper, sometimes (if they are clean enough) I let her sleep in them, sometimes she wear them on our outings. I have had to use more oxiclean on this piece of clothing than any other that we own.

Picky Eater

Case has been somewhat of a picky eater. I will make him a plate full of yummy food and he seems to only want to eat deli meat, cheese, bananas, blueberry waffles, Kashi cereal bars, and blueberries. Anything not on the list goes over the side of his high chair and to the dog.

Lovin' the sweet sunshine!

Goofy.

The Best of Friends

I love watching these 2 play. They have really started being so sweet to each other. Sure they have their screaming, hitting, pushing each other out of the Cozy Coupe moments... but they truly are so sweet. They have started playing together in Kayleigh's room for literally like an hour happily. Kayleigh always wants to get Casen up when she waked up from her name because she wants to play. They share food with each other and SOME toys. I think watching them interact has been my favorite part of being a mom so far.

Kayleigh - What SHE has been up to

MUST change into pajamas as soon as we walk in the door

Loves makeup

Names her babies with names like: Gina, Golla, Hailey, Olivia, Addisyn, Holly Gollosha (my favorite).

Classic Kayleigh face

Kayleigh is getting to be more like a little girl every day. She knows all of her numbers (thanks to Daddy) and her letters. She has even started to write a few letters on her own. She is very into pretending to go to Chick-fila, HEB, playing school, running errands, going dancing. Her babies go everywhere with us and she is very occupied with taking care of them. She is very maternal to all of her friends and their siblings, she feels the need to take care of everyone. Her favorite thing to do is go spend the night with her grandparents and pretty much asks daily if she can go to their house "just for a minute."

Casen - What he has been up to

Still LOVES his Chewy


Loves to slide

Drags my pans all over the house and beats on them with spoons

He seriously WON'T LEAVE THE DISHWASHER ALONE!!!! Turn it on, turn it off, open it, climb on it.....


Case is really getting to a fun and exhausting age. He goes ninety-to-nothing from the time he wakes up to the time he goes to bed. He has started to say a few words like banana, thank you, bye bye, da da. He loves to go outside and slide and sit in his swing. He is a Momma and Da Da's boy and wants to be carried around all the time. Even though we try to feed him a balanced diet, he mostly just wants to eat deli meat and fruit... most other food items get thrown on the ground. He still MUST have his "chewy" when he sleeps. He loves to follow his sister around everywhere and play with her toys. Just this week he has been really into cars and drives them around on the ground.

Casen's First Birthday!

Our 'Hood

We have a great neighborhood with several really sweet families. It is so nice to have kiddos to play with a few steps away!

My Little One Year Old

Little Buddy,
I cannot you have been with our little family for an entire year already. I can't imagine life without you. You are such a joy to us. You are so full of life. Kayleigh is still so proud and protective of you. You still get so excited in the morning when she runs in your room, I hope you two stay friends forever. Most of the time I call you "The Destroyer," because you are forever getting into things and ripping, throwing, or pouring them out. You have the most adorable little giggle and it really comes out when others are laughing. You want mommy to carry you around all the time. When daddy comes home from work you run to him. You are a real daddy's boy (much to my dismay). You follow him all over the house when he is home. Right now I can only make out 3 words that you say "Da Da" (Daddy) "Daaa Da" (Cosmo, we hear this ALL DAY long and you chase him around and feed him GoldFish) and "bye bye." I love you little man!

Kisses!

Walking!

I caught some of Casen's first steps a couple of weeks ago on camera. Something about this picture makes me smile, so please excuse the lack of clothing (sorry, mom!). And yes, he spends a lot of time in just a diaper because he is the gooiest, snottiest, drooliest, spit-upiest kid you have ever met.

Hideout

Sometimes if you don't want your brother to play with your toys, you have to hide.

Daddy's Girl

I love the way she has her finger on his thumb, I don't quite know why.

Bubba

What Bubba has been up to:
Walking! Yes, this kid has been walking for a couple of weeks.... overachiever.
He still loves his Chewy and MUST have it to sleep and when he gets upset.
He plays in and eats dog food, of course I attempt to stop it.
He is waving and pointing. He loves to play with balls. He adores his sister and wants to follow her everywhere. He says Ma ma and Da Da. He has had 4 ear infections. He drinks 4 6 oz bottles and eats some table food. He hates (and I mean HATES) scrambled eggs. He loves Natural Cheetos. He has the most adorable smile in the whole world.

Kayleigh Bear Update:

Here is what the Bear has been up to lately:
She sings all the time, and I mean all. the. time. Most of the time she is making up songs to the tunes of songs she knows, it is hilarious. She still loves her brother so much. She always wants to wake him up and play with him and gets bored when he is not around. She is really in to Veggie Tale's movies, Tinkerbell, All Disney Princesses, pretending to clean her kitchen, cheese, "reading" books to her brother, coloring, painting, cutting, glueing, playing with baby dolls, "reading" the Bible and OF COURSE White Dog. She tells me everyday that we can be best friends forever. I love this kid.
