Lovin' the breeze

  The air conditioning in our van went out.  Definitely looking forward to getting it fixed before the weather gets unbearable! The kids, as you can see, don't mind it a bit.  Nothing like driving down the highway with all the windows down! 

Cute little nerd

These used to be Nolan's sunglasses, but he decided to pop out the lenses.  So, Kaitlyn claimed them as her own, and wears them around the house.  I tell her she's my adorable little nerd.  They are so hilariously cute!

I love it!

Just one more...

11 Months Old

Natalie is 11 months old.  It seems that she has grown so much just in the past month!  She got her 1st couple of teeth around 10 months, and has recently discovered that she LOVES to eat!  She's never eaten very well, and has been a bit on the petite side, but that may be about to change now that she's discovered food.  She loves to feed herself, and is all about different textures.  Yeah!!

Not the best picture, but these are her 1st two teeth. She definitely knows how to use them.  I've made the mistake of putting my finger in her mouth to feel them...the very bad mistake!  Ouch!!!

Another favorite past time... magnets.  She loves to pull them off, then put them back on the refrigerator.

Getting ready to unload her toy basket. She has definitely mastered this technique!

This was so cute.  Natalie stood at her toy basket and Nolan was sitting on the couch. He chatted at her, she would listen intently, then babble back.  They carried on like this for a long time.  We just sat there and laughed. It was adorable!

The pose. 

Another fabulous discovery... french fries.

This gate is quite handy.  She really likes the stairs, and thinks she's a great climber... until she gets up a couple and tries to come back down.  Her descent isn't quite so graceful.

She's waiting for food.  This is serious business!

We simply adore this blue eyed little girl.  Can't believe she'll be a year old soon!

9 years!!!

This year we are celebrating our 9th Anniversary.  Hard to believe it's been that long!

We split the kids up between both sets of grandparents, went out for dinner, then headed for the beach. We had a wonderful, relaxing time- just the two of us!

  I sure do love this wonderful man, and the life we have together.  He is an awesome husband and daddy, and my very best friend!  Looking forward to many more fabulous years together!

I love you, Anthony!

Sundae Night

Last night, was sundae night.  The kids got to help build their own sundaes... complete with whipped cream. Of course, they loved it!

 (Earlier in the afternoon...)
Chillin' with shades, lovin' this warm weather.

Fun family day.  Now it's bed time!
