Warning "I am 2"

The shirt and the picture says it all. Grandma got this shirt for Easton when she was on vacation over the summer. I told Jon that if he comes home and Easton is in the shirt it has been a bad day.

Western Night

We had a western night at church. There were games for the kids, face painting, crafts, cookie decorating and smores. Yummy!! Plus we got to watch Moe and the Big exit on the big screen. That was Easton's favorite. He loves that movie.

We went on a hay ride. Easton was a bit freaked out that this kid next to us had a gun. I guess that is good that guns scare him. I guess I don't have to worry he will play with them. What is weird is Jon and I have never even talked about or showed him even play guns. None of his friends have play guns either.

Our cowboy. Easton loves acting like he is a cowboy. He loves running around the house with his hat and yelling, "Ya-ho."

Our little cowgirl.

Easton got to who-la-hoop. He liked that a lot.

1st Fight and Makenlee won

Well, it was not a real fight but today Makenlee was fussy right as I was making dinner so I went to put on a Baby Einstein DVD for her to watch, well Easton wanted to watch Backyardigians. I told him after Makenlee watched Baby Einstein. He got so mad he threw a fit. I explained that sister gets her show and then Easton gets his. He still was not happy so he had to go sit on the stairs for a timeout because of his fit.

Makenlee is 5 months today...

Here is the happy girl.

Swinging

I got the Johnny Jumper for Makenlee is jump in today. Easton thought it was a swing for her so he started swinging her in the doorway. She loved it. She was squealing and laughing the whole time.

I love my toes and fingers

Bathtime fun

I have been bathing the kids together lately. Easton gets a little crazy with the water sometimes but Makenlee doesn't mind very much. She just loves her bath and hanging with big brother. I sometimes think Makenlee is like baby Moses because she will float around in the tub in her little tub "boat".

After I am done bathing the kids I get Makenlee out and get her in her jammies then I go back and get Easton to do the same, well tonight this is what I found in the tub. He is a little big for this.

Guys Guys

Jon and I were in the car with the kids today and we are talking about a serious decison we need to make in the next two weeks. All of sudden we hear Easton go, "Guys guys" and he has his hands up like stop talking. It was so funny. We had a laugh.

Easton gets his own juice now

Easton can get into the fridge now. It is so funny. He'll tell me I want jucie, please. Then the next thing I know he is in the fridge and he will carry it out the whole carton of juice to me in the living room. I really like he is helping me out but I don't really want him going into the fridge as he pleases. What to do? Do I put a lock on it? He is such a funny kid.

Self Portrait

I had the camera out taking pictures of Makenlee. Easton likes to look at the pictures on the camera afterwards. So I took a picture of the 3 of us and it kept making me flip it back in forth so he could see the new pictures I took. By the way these kids get their blue eyes from Jon. I guess blue eyes are the dominant gene since I have brown eyes and both kids have blue eyes.

Look who is sitting up...

Makenlee is really enjoying sitting up all by herself. She is so proud of herself.

This Mama is getting old...

I turned 28 today. Whohoo!!! I am getting up there, but at least I am still in my 20's. I had a good b-day this year. It was fun to hang out with Jon (he had the day off) and the kiddies. We all went out to lunch then the kids went to a friend's house and Jon and I went shopping for my b-day but somehow he ended up buying more stuff then me (end of the summer clearance sale) and we got to have a nice dinner just the two of us. How nice to have an adult conversation, eat our food slowly and not be interrupted by a crazy two year old and a baby. That is a b-day gift in itself. To conclude the evening we wanted to go to Coldstone but the one we went to closed down. Boo-hoo so we had to go to Baskin Robbins. Oh well. I guess I get to celebrate my b-day again when we go to a different Coldstone over the weekend. YEAH!!!

Easton and Eli (E Squared)

Easton met Eli awhile ago but they have become buddies over the summer. I call them E squared since they both have E names. They have a lot of fun togther and play well too. It is nice too for Easton to play with another boy since most of his friends are girls here. What is funny is we almost named Easton Eli when we were pregnant with Easton. So I always tell Leah, Eli's mom, they would have been Eli squared. Easton went over to Eli's for the day when we moved. (Thank you Leah for doing that) Here are some pictures Leah took of the boys.

Easton played the piano and Eli played the guitar and they made music.

They are wearing their matching Crocs. Easton loves his crocs wears them everyday and Leah said Eli wanted to be like Easton and wear his too. So cute!!!

Summer is coming to an end...

The weather has started to cool off a bit. It is still hot. But we are getting excited for the Fall as it is so pretty with the leaves turning and all the Fall activities. Jon is excited football is starting. I am excited my Mom's group starts Tuesday and my children will be taken care of for 3 hours and I will get a break to eat, talk and recharge my Mommy batteries. We are coming up onto a year living here in 2 weeks. God has done a lot in our lives since we have moved. The times have been real faith building I'd say. But He is always faithful.

Moving is so fun...

We moved this past weekend and now we are unpacking, painting, cleaning and etc. We are busy making the place our own. We live about a 1/2 mile from Sammie and 1 mile from Trevor so Easton is excited to see his friends. Easton has a yard to play in and now can play with all his outdoor toys he has always played on the porch with. But now he has space to run around and spread out. We will post pictures soon.
