We were supposed to have our photo session for Kason's 2 year and Emily's 6 month photos today (yes, a little early - our photographer is going out of town), but we thought the weather was going to put a damper on things so we rescheduled. And, once again, the weatherman in Texas is wrong...no rain. Oh well, we are going to reschedule for closer to their actual birthdays.
In the meantime, we will be spending a few days celebrating my birthday, family, and the 4th. Have a great weekend everyone!

3 in a Row
Can you believe it? A new blog post for the THIRD day in a row. That must be some kinda record.
This weekend was loads of fun, so it deserves a post.
Saturday, Kyle planned a surprise party for my 30th birthday. I was quite shocked! It was great to see some friends we haven't seen in a while.
On Sunday, we took Kason and Emily to the Children's Museum. Kason LOVED the 'Tot Spot' and they even have a section for little babies with Bumbos and everything. We bought a membership and I plan to take the kiddos at least once a week for the summer. It is a great way to beat the heat and have some fun.
Kason LOVED this car and the truck next to it. He even asked for them when we got home.
Play area for babies. There are mirrors for tummy time, toys, and even Bumbo chairs. In case you didn't know it, though, the thought of the germs freaked me out. Not to worry, though, nothing went in the mouth.
We ended the evening with fun with friends and neighbors down the street and Kason & Emmy's first bath together.
Kason thought he could fit at the same time.
First bath together. Emily didn't enjoy it too much. Kason kept splashing her and she was sooo sleepy, but after a long day, they both needed baths.
We will also be joining the local YMCA in the coming weeks to take advantage of their amazing pool and splash pad for the summer. If all goes as planned, I will also take full advantage of their babysitting services and get some much needed working out in.
In case you don't hear from us before then, Happy 4th of July!!

Blog Overhaul
Bored and feeling crafty, even though I had very little to do with the craftiness of this new layout thanks to blogcrowds.com, shabbyblogs.com, and scrapblog.com. I think I changed the layout about 500 times trying to find just what I wanted. I'm happy with it. What do you think?

My Babies are Growing Up
Emily is peacefully sleeping in her bed DESWADDLED for the 4th night. Aside from one rough patch in which I fed and rocked her for an hour and a half around 11:30 on night 1, she has done great.
And, while Emily is sleeping in her room, Kason is in his, sleeping peacefully on his mattress on the floor. For the past 2 days, he has decided he wanted to nap on the floor, so I thought why not give it a try. So, whadayaknow, he LOVES sleeping on the floor. Tonight it is mattress on the floor...tomorrow, toddler bed.
We are also going to start potty training Kason in about 2 weeks. We are going to try the 3-day potty training method (www.3daypottytraining.com). I have been working with him to get him used to the idea and I really think he's coming around. In just the past few days, he has been a dream to change, as opposed to running from all diaper changes. He actually wants his wet and poopy diapers off now and that is some serious progress! This morning, he was in his play room yelling, "Mommy, I wanna go potty" over and over. Really, all he wanted was for me to play in his play room with him, but hey, he got my attention.
Where did my newborn and my still itty-bitty toddler go? Kason will be 2 in a month and Emily will be 6 months in less than a month. Time sure is flying!

Cuteness Overload + 5 Months Old Today
Consider the title a warning. Back out of this post now if you can't handle all the cuteness that awaits you.
What is he doing, mommy?
Just chillin' in our diapers.
Fun with Play-Doh...he doesn't quite get the concept. He does squish it a little in his hands, though. For right now, he is mostly content just opening the lids, taking the play-doh out and putting it back in. It has been very helpful in finally mastering his colors, too!
And, a picture of Mommy & Emmy after church.
That pretty little girl you see above is 5 months old today. I cannot believe it has been 5 months already. She is growing so fast!
She can now roll in both directions and, but is often just content looking around checking things out. She does go crazy over Kason's cups, though. If there is one in sight, she will roll and even attempt to crawl to get it. She can also sit for 10-15 seconds...sometimes, more...on her own now.
Her new favorite thing is to play chase with Kason. She cracks up when she catches him (mommy & daddy hold her for this game) or sneaks up on him around a corner. They laugh and laugh and laugh at each other. We have the cutest videos, but of course, blogger is not cooperating. Soon, hopefully.
She is still a little thing, but gaining (around 14.5 pounds now)...and, without the use of cereal or formula. Yippee! The Zantac has seemed to help her settle and eat more. She is still spitting up, but it is much less frequent. We have gone several days in the past week only needing one outfit/day. That's major progress around here!

So Annoyed...
So, I have been working on this post for weeks...literally. We desperately need a faster internet connection so I keep getting a bad request error every time I post. So, here it is...the unfinished picture post.
********************************************
Some of the goings on around here from April/May/June.
Emily meeting her Uncle Sean for the first time. We are so excited for Sean, Tina, Cody, & Allison to move to the area this summer!
Kason hunting Easter eggs...
Earlier on during our Easter celebration, Kason had a meltdown b/c of a lack of sleep and this racecar. He absolutely refused to get out of it!
He was later comforted with his favorite purple dinosaur and friends (thanks Aunt Frankie & Uncle Larry).
Holding Emmy in what will someday be her carseat.
Trying on one of Daddy's shirts.
Emmy enjoying/eating her lovey.
...and her seahorse.
Big Brother/Little Sister
Kason swinging "higher higher". He also likes to push Emmy "higher higher" in her swing.
Kason sleeping (2 months old) Emmy sleeping (3 months old)
Checking out the turtle on our way to feed the ducks in S.A.
Feeding the ducks
Eating lunch after our attempt at going to church
Daddy's Little Princess
Mommy's Little Man
Silly Boy
Happy Girl
Did I mention she was a happy girl?
Tummy Time...she can now roll in both directions, but is a true master at back to tummy.
So Pretty
Cheese!
Talking to daddy on the phone
Surprise!
Cuddling with PaPa
Kason, Kolby, and Brooklyn at Blake & Jen's wedding
We have had a fun and busy couple of months, with more to come!
