Calan's the Stirrer

Camille's the Taster.

 Mix all dry ingredients.

 Add wet ingredients.

 Give it a taste.

 Stir.

 Give it a taste. 

(See Race Car on the floor playing with books?)

 Form into balls (with mom's help) & place onto cookie sheet.

It HAPPENED

SWEET CIT ACTUALLY WENT POTTY ON THE POTTY.

HE GOT A PIECE OF GUM & CALLED HIS PAPA TO TELL HIM THE GOOD NEWS.

LIFE WILL BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT IF I CAN EVEN GET ONE OF THESE SWEET KIDS OUT OF DIAPERS. 

Last Night

Race Car is now able to stand and go from the coffee table to the couch all by his little big self.

Oh, and we went a pumpkin pickin.

"Hey kids, look at Mama & smile!" 

This is actually the best pic next to the ruler.

Cit could feed & pet animals all day long.

 Turkey time.

 This is one of my favorite pics-

Calan has his hand on his daddy's some stranger's leg during the hay ride.

This

is what sometimes happens when I am cooking dinner.

STANDING

ALL BY HIMSELF

This is the actual photo of Case's first pull-up.

We walked into the living room and there he was.

He's big now.

He's big now.

Apple of My Eye

Ok, his eye.

That boy Loves Woah-woah.

?

We saw this bus in Chicago. 

Not really sure if you can just write a license plate on your car? 

Interesting.

Just a Thought

I think that I'm going to submit this pic for the next teen pregnancy campaign.

After the Golf Outing

There was a Teamsters Golf Outing in Plymouth last Sunday. 
Papa always cooks on the grill for the golfers. 
We went and hung out until it was over.
Calan rode the beer cart the entire morning with 2 twenty-ish old girls. 
All the golfers kept saying what a lucky guy he was. 
He'd just blow kisses every time he'd pass the club house where we were.
We went to Papa's house afterwards. 
Calan even got to ride with Papa in his truck.
Papa then let him ride Pete.
Pete is the million pound bull.
(Ok maybe not a million pounds but he's not something that I would want to ride.)
Calan talks about riding a horse or a train everyday.
Last Wednesday he said his 1st complete sentence.
"I want wide THE twain."
He can pronounce "the" very well.
He's been asking to ride a train or a neigh (horse) everyday for quite a while now.
So this was his big day of riding things from golf carts and pickup trucks to...

 bulls to...

 donkeys to...

 (Case is rolling his eyes at all the riding.)

 four wheelers.

8 months today.

Pretty Pretty Princess?

Case & Camille were the only two in the living room & I have a feeling that Case didn't put the tiara on his own head. Just a guess.

Duck, Duck, Goose

We went to the Duck Park last night. I've had saltines in the pantry just waiting for this trip. 

 Calan kept feeding the same 3 geese over & over.

 Camille kept feeding herself over & over.

I'm not sure if the goose or Camille has more crackers on their lips.

 Look at Codes. This guy is amazing. He's holding Case and Lola. He's dividing the crackers evenly between the Camille & Calan. And he just got off of a 12 hour shift at work.

 Calan found a few geese that were loose in the park.

Loosey Gooseys. 

 Calan really really wanted to "hold" the geese. 

 Case was into it.

 He was running after them yelling "hold, hold" but had no luck.

Lola wanted to hold one too.
