Learning how to WALK!

Pause the Music!

James is learning how to walk! Yesterday he started walking around holding onto this car. Today he is even doing better. I thought it was so cute. My baby is growing up too fast...I am not ready to be pregnant again yet!

I am NOT pregnant!!!!!!!!

Bustin' out Summer Clothes! Yippee

Somersaults here we come!

We went outside to blow bubbles and I just had to take some pictures of my kids. We have been spending most of the days outside because the weather is so nice. Dantzel is getting really good on her bike because that is what she does most of the time we are outside.

This video was fun to see James react with grass for the first time. I don't know if he knew what to do with the grass on his legs. I know I say this all the time but, it is so fun to watch them learn and grow!

Pause the music at the bottom!

Standing up

James has been standing up on everything. One of his favorite things to do is "help" with dishes.

James and Dantzel like to takes rides in the stroller together. James is getting so big. Pretty soon Dantzel will have to sit on his lap.

Growing up!

Pause the Music!

James has now been trying to do everything Dantzel does. Sometime I wonder what we are going to do when Dantzel is a bad example. James now knows that if his big sister does it then it must be fun! This morning he was caught under the kitchen chair. Dantzel was eating breakfast and he wanted to be right by her. He ended up under her chair stuck. Sorry didn't grab my camera.
James really likes it when we put him on Dantzel's car and old rocking horse. He likes it best to be pushed around and rocked on the horse. The only problem is... Dantzel doesn't quite understand that he doesn't have as good of balance as her. She thinks she can push him hard and he will be able to hold on like she does. The funny thing is, James thinks he can hold on tight enough. I have to watch them both like a hawk. It is a lot of fun having a boy and girl. They are a lot the same but at the same time so much different. James is totally a little boy. I am nervous to see what lies ahead. I love being a mom!

Funny Feeding Time!

Pause the music!

This was so funny! When you watch this video... watch Brandon's mouth. He always does this when he feeds the kids and I think it is so dang funny. It can even make me laugh just thinking about it. I know I am weird.

As you can see by the way Brandon is talking, he didn't realize I was filming. In fact, I don't even think he knew I had the camera. :)

James crawling all around. Isn't he so cute?

Saturday fun...

Pause Music at the bottom of the page to watch video.
Saturday, we had a lot of fun. The weather is warming up and, we spent most of the day outside.

First we had bike time for Dantzel. Then I decided to take me kids to the park in the bike trailer. It is fun for the kids and a good workout for me. Then, Brandon came home early from work and we went out shooting with Buck. It was a lot of fun and did I mention great weather? As I blog this post my computer is reading 68 degrees outside. What am I doing on the computer???

Dantzel liked to watch us shoot from inside the expedition. It made it easy to keep track of her. James slept the whole time. It was a nice break for mom. ;)

Snack Time! Apples, my favorite.

Dantzel loves fruit for meals. Too bad I make her eat other things along with all the fruit. Today she really wanted an apple. Her favorite is to sit on the counter. I only let her sit up on the counter on special occasions. This is the typical way for Dantzel to eat these days.

Stroller fun + Pajama party

Dantzel still thinks it is really fun to take James for a ride in her baby doll stroller. It is a good thing James thinks its fun too. :) He is almost too big for the little stroller. He is getting big fast.




James getting ready to get out.




James trying to find a way out. It is a good thing he was buckled! :)




Every night we have a P.J. Party because both my kids love getting into their jams. Aren't they so funny.? :0




Thanks to grandma Bug-A-Boo for making the cute jams James is wearing. Also thanks to Levi and Casey for passing down both pair of jams down to us. We love hand-me-downs! Both Brandon and I just love the way James jams fit him. :)

Passports

So, Brandon and I got all our paperwork done for our passports this morning. They are in the mail. I think we should be ready for our cruise set for the end of May. I am very excited but a little nervous as to how it is going to be for me to be away from the 2 kid-lets for 8 days and 7 nights. I guess it will a little longer than that because we have to drop them off and pick them up. That might take an extra day. I hope they are good kids while we are away. I guess I still have time to back out if I think it will be too hard for me. :)

Dantzel and James had to have there pictures taken with us this morning. As you can see they just got up too. Dantzel has a great hair-do. James wasn't standing in front on the off-white back ground. Oh well, at least they were involved.

I was really proud of myself because, it only took Brandon once to take my picture. It took quit a few more tries for us to get a good one of Brandon. Those of you who know my history of getting a good picture are probably not believing what they are reading right now. I know it sounds silly. By the time we were done trying to get a good picture of Brandon, he ended up leaving the house mad. I think I was making him mad because I thought it was so funny that he couldn't open his eyes all the way. He got over it right away as we had to have the Post Office retake both of our pictures. The ones we did this morning didn't work. The lady that was helping us said they were too dark. I guess it was fun getting a good laugh at Brandon NOT being photogenic this morning. The best part of it all is, it is done and we won't have to do it again for another 10 years!

Now I just need to get the kids taken care of and we will be set to leave the country whenever we want. This will be good for as you all know we plan on traveling a lot more. :-)

Playing around

I have been having a lot of fun learning how to do this Digital Scrapbooking stuff. It can really become addicting. I am glad I have a husband who loves me enough to get this program for me. Thanks honey!

James and Lincoln

We had some visitors the other Sunday. I know I am posting this a little late but, it was fun putting into this new program. I have a lot to learn on this program. :) James and Lincoln were very cute together. It will be fun when Lincoln can crawl. By the time James will probably be walking around. They sure are cute. The funny thing is, they look NOTHING a like. It is amazing what genes can do to kids. I hope to get all three babies together again soon.

Oh yeah, thanks to Zach for making a big deal about Dantzel's goggles. I even got a picture of him being as goofy as her. I just love taking pictures of people making silly faces wearing goggles. I can't take a picture of someone in goggles without laughing. Thanks for making my day. :)
