Oh! Those Curls!

Allyson has such cute natural curls in her hair - I wanted to get a picture of them to share - and so that someday she can look back and see the picture.

Little Cowboy and Cowgirl

The other day Caden and Allyson were watching the Backyardigans and on the cartoon, they were pretending to be cowboys - so Caden and Allyson were creative and used washclothes - the ones we used to wash hands after breakfast - to put on their heads and pretended they were cowboy hats. I was in a store the next day and found these hats. I couldn't resist.

Happy Anniversary

Today we are celebrating 8 years of marriage. These are the flowers that Broc bought for me.
Thanks honey!

Trains

Caden enjoys playing with his geo trax train set. This is fun because there are some engines that run on batteries to make train noises and you control them with the remotes.

Fort Fun

Caden and Allyson love to play underneath the kitchen table and make forts. They take a bunch of blankets and as you can see by the picture, anything else that is a favorite toy/item at that moment and put them under the table with them.
It is so cute - they are really starting to play pretend. Sometimes they pretend they are going to "school". They will put their backpacks (full of stuff) and walk around the house.

The sweet moments

This is one of those cute moments that you occasionally catch on camera. Just after waking up, the kids like to watch cartoons.

My Little Pony

Allyson got a my little pony in hopes that she would keep her hands busy with the pony's hair, rather than pulling out her own hair.
She loves her pony and likes to take it everywhere with her. This pony even talks. Hopefully this will help. She has such cute curls in the back, but not much hair at all in the front!

Pretty Tootsies

Allyson and mom had time to do some "girlie stuff" while the guys were outside mowing the lawn. Allyson chose to have her nails painted. Even before she was 1 year old, she has always sat very still to have this done. Allyson chose the color purple for her nails! She also wanted to model the bracelet that Grandma Kay brought back for her from Florida. Thanks Grandma!

Summer Fun

Sunday eve, we went for supper to Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Mary's. Candi, Hallie and Reese were there to visit. We had a lot of fun - under the sprinkler, riding bikes, catching lighting bugs (the pictures didn't turn out) and taking pictures by the flowers.
