March 31, 2010

On one of the nice days that we had, Katelyn, Will, and I went to the park and had a picnic with Benjamin, Mary, and Scott.  The weather was gorgeous and it was nice to get out.  Benjamin and Will had a bit of interaction, grabbing at each other, and just hung out.  Benjamin is about 4 months older than Will.

Katelyn enjoying the swing.  I couldn't get her to eat, she just wanted to swing.

My little man...
 He loves to chew on his fingers.

He is full of smiles!!  His smile and laugh make my heart melt.

 He rolls everywhere!  I can lay him down my his dresser and he gets across his room to the footrest in no time.  When he gets there he tries to chew on it.

 Enjoying some time outside...

Julianne loves to climb trees.  This one is in our front yard and great for climbing.  Almost everytime she goes out to play I find her climbing this tree.

Katelyn is starting to climb it more, but usually gets up on the first branch and that is enough for her.

Dress-up time...




Will likes to lay on his changing table, when he is not being changed!  He loves to play with his mirror and drop it behind his dresser.  He also has a Ty elephant he likes to chew on. 
 I love this little sweater he has on.  I think he looks like a little man in it!

Enjoying a meal at the kitchen table...

 Wrestling with Daddy...

Piccadilly Auction

What an awesome event put on by the Chillicothe Chamber and Main Street Chillicothe.  It was a great night out with friends.  The Piccadilly Auction was a women's night out with the guys as our waiters.  There was a silent auction, dinner, and a Piccadilly Auction.  I didn't know how it worked until I got there and I had a blast.  I can't wait for next year!!  If you have never been to one and have the chance I encourage you to go.  If your group is looking for a fundraiser, I would suggest looking into it!

Going for a walk...

Julianne and Katelyn at a birthday party...

The girls decided to put on "make-up", aka sidewalk chalk.  They thought it was hilarious, I am not sure how they could stand the feeling on that on their faces, I can barely touch it with my hands!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It's official I am a terrible Mom!  I have pictures of Julianne and Will in their St. Patrick Day shirts, but not Katelyn.  Life was and still is crazy.  I planned on getting pictures after school of all 3, but then Katelyn had swim lessons and it did not happen.  So, here are Julianne and Will in their outfits.  Thanks to Grammy for the onesie for Will!

Will in his exersaucer.  Somedays I think he is trying to be a contortionist when he is in the exersaucer.  He loves to stand in his exersacuer and bounce, turn, and beat the toys. 


March 15th, 2010

Here are a few pictures from March 15th.  Will loves playing on the floor as long as he is on his back.  Katelyn loves the camera, especially if she is the one taking pictures!

March 14th

Katelyn inspecting the dice that Brian bought her.

I was trying to get a picture of the two girls smiling and looking at me.  But I was not having a lot of luck, as evident by these pictures.



They were cute and matching this day.  Julianne had had dance competition the day before and her hair was still in the bun, so Katelyn wanted her hair in a bun also.  Katelyn's hair is fine and definitely more challenging to put a bun in and get it to stay.

Julianne's bath time creativity.  She is learning to spell and write words/sentences at school.  So, she used the foam letters to create words on the bathtub wall.  She explained to Brian and myself (in great detail) how to make sense of all the letters.  Basically she had letters on the lines or in the middle if it needed to be shared.  It was quite an ingenius way to do it.  She makes me so very, very proud everyday.  It is times like these that I remember when she is misbehaving.

Will in the exersaucer.  He really enjoys it! 






Will has figured out the exersaucer and loves to play in it.  This video shows one of his favorite things to do!
