St Patty's Day
I had plans to celebrate St. Patricks Day. I really did. But- when it came down to it, I failed. haha. I made pancakes that morning, and at the very last second, I had the idea to dye our breakfast green. So, green milk and pancakes and wearing a little green where the only special things we did that day. Oh well. I'll make a bigger deal of it next year.
After breakfast we got ready and we drove around the neighborhood to check out all the yard sales! Kate got really into this. We found this desk for only $5! Kate loves it, and calls it her "art sale". :)
After that we headed to the San Tan Mall. We walked into the Disney store just as they were starting a dance party!
We bought a present for Kate's friend who was having a birthday party that day and then went to eat at Wendy's. We also went to Target to get some art supplies for Kate's new desk. Then we went home to wait for Daddy to finally come home! He did, and while he showered and got de-campified, I took the kids to the birthday party. After the party we came home and babysat Maddock and Jaylee. Whew! It was a busy day, but a fun one for me and the kids.
Happy St. Patricks Day!
8 months
I can't believe I'm already writing this post. 8 months? Seriously? My baby is growing up waaaaay to fast :(
He's still not crawling yet, but he is getting really close. I don't think it's far off. He's wearing 12 month clothes now, but I still put him in his 6-9 month clothes a lot too. He has really started to babble, and his favorite word is "dada". Of course. Kate insists that he says, "kate" all the time, but I have yet to hear it. haha. I'm still nursing him, but I also feed him a bottle every day, and I feed him baby food at dinner time. He'll usually down two of those with no problem. I have yet to find a food he won't eat. He loves it all!
I love this little guy so much!
Mountain Man
Dustin left on his Mountain Man camping trip with the scouts this morning.
We hope he comes back alive!!
Yesterday and Today
Do I annoy anyone else with the ridiculous amount of pictures on my blog? Sometimes I annoy myself with just how much my camera is in my hand. But I can't help it! I just love it that much. And I love my children more. Cute children + obsession with photography. It's a lethal combination really. My camera is always in the left corner of my couch, lens cap off, and power on ready to capture anything cute that comes my way, and it just so happens my kids have been really cute lately.
Kate loves this hooded towel. There is no limit to her imagination with this old thing. In this picture she's getting married. Obviously.
She got stuck in Max's walker.
She also doesn't care if he's in it or not.
She created a flag and wove (waved?) it proudly.
Max is getting super fast with his scooting skills! This is the first place he heads to whenever he is set free.
He makes the cutest pirate I've ever seen...
and probably the cutest baby as well.
*sigh* I just love these kids!

Tidbits
-Kate loves to "pick up" Max. I have to keep an eye on her, because she will try to carry him!
-We made DIY bubbles the other day (water, corn syrup, and dish soap), as well as homemade finger paint (yogurt & food coloring)
-Kate's hair is long enough for tiny buns.
-She loves to play dress up and will get in to costume every day. When Jaylee comes over Jaylee is always Belle, and Kate is always "Cindawewa". Not sure why, she hasn't seen that movie, and wouldn't a pink dress be more befitting of Sleeping Beauty?
-We don't do a daily nap for her anymore, but occasionally she will crash if we have been playing at the park in the morning. The other day she fell asleep right on the floor!
-Speaking of sleep, we've created a new monster. The other night she was crying because she didn't want to go to sleep, so I suggested that she sleep in her princess tent! She LOVED it, and we haven't got her to go to sleep in her bed since. That's okay Kate, I'd rather sleep in a castle too :)
-Max is my little chubster. I couldn't resist taking a picture of his chubby little arms and legs.
-He is also quite mobile!! Not crawling yet, but he can get from place to place quickly by his little army crawl that he does.
Some other funny stories--
-Kate lately has been obsessed with "getting marry". She dons a towel like a veil and walks around the house proclaming she's going to marry Eric. The other day she asked me if I wanted to get married and I said,
"Kate, I'm already married to Daddy."
"To Daddy?!?"
"Yes." Then she gestured to an imaginary Daddy and told me he was standing over there. I pretended to to gush, and then she said,
"Daddy is a little crazy!"
-The other day I'm getting ready in my bathroom and I hear Kate pounding on her bedroom door. I thought that she had locked herself in, so I ran to see what was the matter. I opened the door (not locked) and asked her what was the matter. She replied, "I'm just freaking out!"
-She loves Peter Pan and now I think we've seen every version of the tale. "Peter Pan", "Peter Pan Jane", "Peter Pan Wendy" and "Grandma Wendy" Translation- 2003 movie of Peter Pan, Return to Neverland, classic Disney Peter Pan, and Hook. Yes, my 2 year old loves the movie Hook. That's pretty awesome. I think now might be a good time to tell her that Grandma Foree's first name is Wendy.
She is soooo talktative now! I will have to get better at recording the funny things she says. She is always cracking me up.
I love my silly family!
