Random Pictures

 Kellen and Sarah before their baths....they like to hang out on our bed while we get the bathtubs ready!

Sarah in her swing....I am not too sure if she likes it yet, but she is pretty mellow when we put her in the swing.
 Zonked right out on Daddy.
 Sitting on the counter playing with a bunch of plastic bags....she loved the crinkling noise they made when she touched them.

Father's Day for Daddy

 Kellen loves to do arts and crafts - we have two bins of different supplies that we like to pull out every now and then.  Here he is making Daddy a Father's Day card.....the glittery-goo pens are pretty hard to squeeze - check out his face while squeezing!
 ....and just squish the glitter around with your hand.....
 ....and Voila!!!
Super proud to give Daddy his Father's Day card and gift.
 


 Kellen decorated a margarine container for Daddy - it is for Daddy to put all of his coins in!

 Daddy and his little boy.
 ...and Daddy and his baby girl.....Happy Father's Day!

Sarah's Got her First Tooth!

Just a quick update - Sarah saw the doctor today...she weighs 16.5 pounds and is 25.5 inches long!  (and she is only 3.5 months).  But, she also finally cut her first tooth!  Her bottom right tooth came in - it must have come in last night because yesterday it wasn't there!  Crazy to believe that she is only 3.5 months old and already has a tooth!

Also, our doctor thinks that Sarah might be the biggest baby she has ever seen!  She is pretty excited to see her again in two weeks for her 4 month check up to see how big she will be!

Sarah's First Cold


 Two weeks ago, Sarah got her first cold.  She was pretty miserable (but still so darn cute).  She couldn't nurse very well because her nose was so stuffed up, and she couldn't sleep for long (again, because her little nose was so stuffed up).  Here she is getting some cuddles from Mommy.....poor baby!


Cuties

 Kellen is getting so big!  He is such a cute little guy - and big brother!  Here he is hanging out with Mommy and Sarah.
....and, here is Sarah not quite enjoying her tummy-time (but looking very cute!)
 ...cutie!
 How cute are these little ones?!?!?!


John's Birthday Party

 Two weeks ago, Kellen's good friend, John, had a swimming birthday party!  Kellen (and his friends) had a great time!  Kellen even tried out the huge water slide - all by himself!  Here are some pictures from the party - the kids eating some pizza, fruit, and chips...
 Smiles from my little swimmer!

Hanging out together

 Sarah continues to love putting her thumb (or fingers, or fist) in her mouth.  Here she is figuring out where her thumb is.....and then having a quiet moment sucking on her thumb.
 I had Kellen sit beside Sarah - and as I was taking the picture, Sarah slowly started to fall over - it was pretty funny to see because it happened in such slow motion.  Don't worry - I got to her before she fell head first into Kellen!
 My first attempt at getting a picture of the two kids.
 .....getting closer to both of them looking at the camera....
 ....and, success!  Except for the look of uncertainty on Sarah's face!

Having fun preparing for her bath

 Sarah loves her bath - here are some pictures of her waiting for her bath to be ready.
 Daddy couldn't resist giving kisses!  She gets so excited when Shawn gives her raspberries on her belly - check out the legs kicking!

 Here they are deep in conversation - I think she is explaining that she wants another raspberry!
 She is really getting happy now - it is almost time for her bath.
 YEAH for my bath!!!

The Fair!

 Last week, the fair came to town!  Here are some pictures of Kellen having lots of fun at the fair!  We went twice (hence, the different outfits!).  Kellen loves all of the rides - and even went on the Tilter Whirl!  

Caden and Kellen were pretty excited about the fish prizes that they won!
 Shawn and Kellen on the firetruck ride - it goes up and around, then reverses - it was lots of fun!
 Mommy and Kellen on the ferris wheel.  I forgot how high these things actually go!
 There was a super cool obstacle coarse that the kids could go on - Kellen loved it!  It went pretty high, and there were lots of things to climb up and down - he loved it, and went on about 10 times!
 Coming down the slide at the end of the obstacle course.
 And, Sarah had lots of fun watching all of the excitement.
 In awe of all the lights.
 .....And, done!  She got pretty tired watching the rides - she was out cold here!

Sarah Loves Lita

 A couple of weeks ago, Lita came for a visit.  I don't know who was more excited - Sarah, or Lita!  Here are some pictures of them together.  (the above picture is Sarah waiting for Lita's arrival!)
