Mommy's favorite little Boy

It was a beautiful sunny day and I thought I'd get a picture of me and my boy.

Mom's gotta get her kisses in while he'll still let me!

I wish he would stay this little and sweet forever!

Play food Party

The kids and I decided to have a food party today. Raleigh especially loves to do this. Must be a girl thing. They love the fake ice cream cones.

Yea, we made a big mess!

Double fisted with ice cream cones

Raleigh picked corn over an ice cream cone. Crazy girl!

Sandon's got it right with the chocolate

Close up!

Close up! Look at my dimples!

Caught in the act. Don't you touch that TV Raleigh. I can tell her a million times and she will still do it. Girl or personality, I don't know.

Gothic Toes!

Sandon always asks if he can have his toes painted because Raleigh and I get ours done. Dad said the only way he could have his toes painted was if they were black. So the next day Sandon and I bought some black nail polish and painted our toes.

Daddy's Birthday Party!!!

We had a surprise Birthday party for Daddy yesterday. Sandon and I decorated the kitchen with balloons all over the walls, helium balloons on the ceiling and confetti all over. The kids picked out the cake and presents for Dad. We told him to be home at 5:00pm so he could make pizza's with the kids before going to play frisbee football. He had no idea since his real Birthday is on Saturday. He walked in the door and we all blew our horns and yelled surprise! Then we sang Happy Birthday to him and had him blow out trick candles. That was fun!! We had a pizza party for dinner and finished with the cake. He was pretty surprised. Sandon had the best time out of all of us. It's amazing what simple small things make kids happy. Raleigh was such a mess from the cake that she went straight to the tub! This was the 11th Birthday that Doug and I have celebrated together, and I love him more each year. Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you so much!

Big Brother

Sandon is such a good big brother. Here he is teaching Raleigh how to do a Somersault, and just playing nice together. Good times!!

Raleigh's 1st steps

Raleigh took her first steps by herself last Sunday. We stood her up between Doug and I and had her try to walk back and forth between us and she did it without hesitation. Then she took steps by herself from the middle of the room. She is so independent. She has to do everything on her own, you can't push her or she reverts backwards. We are so proud of the progress she is making. She is crawling a lot more now instead of scooting. She is still really short so it's so cute to see her walk. She is too little to be walking, but months wise she is beyond ready.

2 Babies

Raleigh always wants to be like Sandon, and Sandon always wants to be like Raleigh. In this case Sandon was trying to be like Raleigh. I've told him so many times to leave the baby saucer alone that I just give up and let him have his fun.
