July and August

I guess having 5 kids takes up a lot of my time. Blogging usually is last on my list. Maybe someday I'll get the hang of everything and blog more often. For now every once in awhile will have to do! So here is the deal-eo...

July... There was the 4th of July celebration in Livermore, Adam turned 3 and got a hair cut, Kaitlyn learns to crawl, a beach trip and our trip to Six flags Marine World!

August... we went camping near the beach with our friends. We all had so much fun and everyone stayed warm at night, including Kaitlyn. We also celebrated Grandpa's and Cory's birthdays. Megan and Jonathan started school on the 16th.

My Big Girl

Well I finally started Kaitlyn on baby cereal today. I waited until she turned 6 months, I was in no rush this time. She was defintitley ready. Kaitlyn is always trying to grab my food and watches me take every bite. On Monday night, when I took the 3 younger ones out to dinner, Kaitlyn managed to grab a small thing of sauce and dumped it, which landed on her car seat that was laying on the floor below us! What a mess! I've been holding off these past few days, feeding her solids, because I wanted to make her high chair a new cover that wasn't falling apart. So on Tuesday I bought the fabric and today I finally finished the whole thing. I think it turned out pretty cute. Anyway here are a few pictures from today...

Okay I was going to do this post awhile back but never got to it. Then Jimmy posted one of Butters and all her strange sleeping habits and it reminded me to do one for Adam. So here is Adam and all the places he's chosen to sleep.

April updates

Well it has been a long time since I blogged. Now of course they made me change from FTP to blogger.com. I think I will just post random things for this month. Hopefully the month of May I will post more often.

 

Coloring Easter Eggs

Waiting to go find Easter eggs!

Kaitlyn spending time with her Daddy.

 We had to remove the crib bumper because she kept playing with it and we were worried that she would fall asleep with it on her face. Not sure if it will go back up even if I fix it.

 My happy baby!!

Kaitlyn and me

Adam has been fighting naps for awhile now. He will yell "No Pad Thai"! (which means no nap time)

I often find Kaitlyn playing with her toy or trying to suck on the crib bars.

 Megan and Jonny being so silly on the way to Grandma and Grandpa's house!

 Celebrating Christy's birthday!
