pool time.

since its been bearably hot here - we decided to go to the pool this afternoon. :) reese's first time!











and for comparison - here was me and sawyer july 09 - when sawyer was almost 1 year old.

animated aidan.

if you ever wonder "wow, aidan looks so animated in pics! i wonder if she's like that in real life...." you dont have to wonder anymore. the songs she makes up.... oh dear heavens. this first one is about a rocket ship? which the only one she's seen IRL was in FL so she was obviously in love with it.

three disclaimers:

1. want to know how fast some kids grow? that PJ shirt aidan is wearing was too big about 6 months ago. (she loves ariel, so if you want to try to convince her to give sawyer that shirt now.. go ahead. you'll lose).

2. curly headed children need their hair product immediately after water hits it. lol she took a shower and then we went to the gameroom to play while we cleaned. and i didnt put her curl stuff in it - do you see how frizzy it gets? a straight haired mom should never be allowed to deal with curly headed kids ;)

3. the space heater/beanbag thing is my newborn set up (well sort of) that ive needed up for a bit :)

ok enjoy.





and pics from today. aidan had sawyer help her open the back door - which was impossible bc it was flip locked on top. lol

park and others.

i love this shirt. i loved it on A and S and i love it on reese ;) (yesterday)




and this was AIDAN in the shirt ;)



and here is SAWYER.


now back to reese lol


haha i love this. sawyer's like "um. dont"


so putting the potty in the half bath didnt work. lol sawyer wants it here. so here it stays for this wkend. then i'll be damned if i have a potty in my living room.


today we went to the park.












dont ask why they are in those respective swings LOL the tiny kid should be in the baby swing, but whatever.


what reese did.




haha she looks like a bobblehead at this angle.


i got on the ground for this. aidan freaked and said that she thought there were bugs. so i got, like, 1 pic and had to get up for her sanity. lol












it was gorgeous today - so we were there for about 2 hours. aidan made a redheaded friend :)

potty time.

last night we brought out the potty for sawyer to at least sit on... and look at. lol we moved it into the half bath (and she peed on it today!!) but you can see that its obvs a group effort here. lol



aidan was teaching her that "no. you dont look IN to it - just sit on it" lol


sawyer's knuckleheaded grin face.


we'll see how it goes! after sawyer peed today aidan told her "oh sawyer! youre such a big girl!!" lol

trendy treehouse photo contest.

this week - laughing :)

this is sawyer laughing bc her high pitched scream could pop your ear drums lol



check out more funny ones here!!

outside and sweet faces.

last night we played outside in the sprinkler.














this morning i took a few funnies.




sawyer doing her high pitched holler. whoa.
