Swimming!

I took the girls swimming last week- it was awesome. The pool was like bath water (so wierd for June) and Emerson picked up where she left off last summer. We don't have her pacifier to give her so she'll keep her mouth closed this summer so she swallowed her fair share of water. She'll learn that way I guess...

It's so fun to get out Emerson's old stuff and put Easton in it.


Emerson her first summer in the same suit... And people say they look alike. I don't see it...

Emerson and Griffin by the baby pool she puked in last summer.

The best shot we could get of everyone...

After the pool we went to Amber's parent's house and the kids played out back. They were awfully quiet (which means they're up to something, of course) and I went out there to find this...


Finishing up her "Pinkalicious" cupcake...

I guess Griffin went in for the hug and bonked Emerson in the nose. I looked a bit later and it was a little bloody! She looks tough, right?

The Girls

We had a great weekend home with the girls- we went to a park and just hung around the house mostly. Emerson is getting good use out of her sand table from last summer so we try to hang out on the deck as much as we can.

I think Easton really likes watching Emerson.


One of Emerson's favorite books is "Pinkalicious." It's about a little girl who turns pink from eating so many pink cupcakes so we made "pinkalicious" last night. They were awesome.

Easton was due for a bath and I don't think I had taken many pictures of her bathtime yet...

Happy baby...

Angry baby...

Happy baby.

Happy mom.

I think this counts as rolling over, right?

She gets stuck on that bottom arm so she's not all the way on her belly but I think I'll count it...

Amy's Wedding

My best friend from high school, Amy Appleton, got married over the weekend- it was a beautiful wedding and it was good to have a date night with Ryan. My mom had the girls and they both slept all night for her so we'll have to do it again soon!!

My two best friends since the first day of 3rd grade, Carrie O. and Shelby.

The ceremony and reception were at the Mission Hills Country Club. It made for a pretty amazing backdrop.

With the bride- she looked as beautiful as I've ever seen her.

No pictures of the girls- I don't think that's ever happened! I'll get some new ones taken and get them up soon. Amazing how you don't take quite as many when you've got 2 little ones!

3 Months!

Easton is 3 months old yesterday and doing great! She's started smiling much more and even laughing a little...


I don't think she's changed a ton from last month but she's just getting bigger!

Doesn't Emerson look so big??? Ryan and his girls before bed.

We went to the Royals game on Friday with both girls and it was a blast. Easton slept for about an hour and then we just put her in the Bijorn and walked around the outfield area for Emerson to see the "mountains" (fountains.) She got a Royals "sticker" for her face and was very upset when I finally washed it off on Sunday. "Where's my sticker???"

Got it!

Actually Amber got it but her first picture smiling! Enjoy, I know we do!

Easton's Announcements

Easton's announcements went out few weeks ago and they were too cute not to share- I'm not sure who checks the blog and didn't get one in the mail but it was worth posting. Corey did such a great job and there's a link to her site on the right if you're interested in contacting her. My girls make awfully cute subjects...

2 Months Old!

Easton is 2 months old and we had her 2 month check up today- she's doing great and has gained 2 1/2 pounds in the past month. We must be doing something right! She weighs 12.9 pounds (90th percentile) and is 23 3/4 long (also 90th percentile.) She's getting big! Here are her month pictures and some others.

8 Days


1 Month


2 Months!

Not sure if she's giving it or taking it away...
