a few more of little Kate...

a few more of cute/silly Jackson...

Just can't get enough of her sweet face!

Reading... a favorite & preferred activity!

Giddy Up!

Jackson was cracking up while Kate "rode" on his back. He kept saying, "neigh! neigh!" Too Cute!!

Autumn time!

Kate... Cutie Pie!

Not the greatest picture, but they're together!

Another brother/sister picture attempt... I think we're getting closer!

Faces!

Asleep before we begin... and Jackson & Mommy

Cookie Monster

We had some friends over for Brasilian food... they asked if they could bring something, so I had them bring dessert. This included those lovely sugar cookies from the store.
These particular sugar cookies had bright pink frosting. As you can see, they were a big hit with Jackson.
What was even better is that our friend is a bit of a "funny guy" and showed Jackson that it was funny to rub the frosting all over his face, hair, etc.
He went straight to the bath tub after he finished what he wanted of the cookie! (Even with a pink face, he is such a handsome little boy!!)

Big Girl

Kate is getting so strong! She holds her little head up really well... Parker has been anxious to put her in this bumbo chair, but I've held him off because they really need to be able to have good neck control... I guess she's ready because he's been putting her in it every now and then. Sweet little girl!

Baby Kate's 8 week check-up

97th percentile for weight... 13lb. 5 oz. (she knows how to eat!)
head: 50th %
length: 95th %


Yes, she DOES look SO much like her big brother... since he's so cute, we're okay with that! ;-)

This is crazy! What will he say?

Fed up with the political bologna? Well, apparently Parker and some professors at school are too. They started this internet thing as a joke and now it's all over the place. You have to watch the footage his professor just sent to us! Pretty funny! So much for Ontario, Oregon... HELLO, WASHINGTON D.C.! What I want to know is, what will he say in front of thousands of people when he finally has to face all of this? Your guess is as good as mine!

Here's the link for the footage... let us know what you think!

Sweet Baby Kate... sleepy girl

Sweet Baby Kate... alseep in our bed while we finish homework... doesn't she just look like an angel?

Brother & Sister

Here's Kate again!
We just can't get enough of her... mostly can't get over how perfect she is!
I'm pretty sure Jackson doesn't remember that his was his first... it's been put away for quite a while now...
He just loves to point out the "lights, lights, lights" to his little sister, show her the butterflies and bring little toys closer so that she can reach them. It's pretty cute! He gets really excited when she actually makes contact with one of the objects hanging down.

Kate: Pre-Halloween

The kids' costumes came in the mail today and I was pretty excited to try them on to make sure they fit (and that they were cute!) Kate is a little lamb in case you can't tell. There wasn't much to choose from in her size for a girl... anyway, I'm pretty sure she's not overly excited about wearing a Halloween costume. Hopefully, I'll get some better pictures on October 31st.
Just a random picture of our beautiful little girl!
