We have been spending all of our time playing lately. We went to the jump around this week and they loved it. All of the previous times they have been around bouncy houses they haven't been huge fans. Now it might have a little bit to do with Steph deflating one on them, but they definitely liked them better this time.







Mason has been perfecting his dive.





We have been eating with pop pop,



playing with Jaffy's old babies and Garrett's old dinosaurs,



and playing with friends.





I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!

Game Day

We are SO excited that football season is here!!

I am not sure if we will be doing this again this year :( The water is already getting cold!

Just a little picture update....

Best Friends

Lauren and Rachael came to Abilene this week to hang out! We have all been best friends since college and we try to get together a couple times a year (at least) even though we live in three different towns now. It was good to see them and so much fun to see the kids play together.

Here are all four kids- Sawyer, Micah (Rachael's 9 month old), Mason and William (Lauren's 15 month old).

Sawyer loved playing with, I mean taking care of Baby Micah. She was such a cute little mommy helper the whole time.

Mason on the other hand, was a rough little boy with way, way too much energy.

But they were all so cute and loved playing with each other.

We went to the zoo one day.

And went swimming.

And talked and laughed and ate chocolate and had a great time.

new room

I recently rearranged the kids room. I wanted them to have more of a play area and a sleep area, and for them to be able to walk around their train table.

So here is their room....

before they were born:






right before I rearranged:




and now:








They are LOVING playing with the train table. And I am loving how much easier it is to keep clean.

Not Me Monday

I did NOT put a pair of frilly purple Dora panties on mason when he peed in his underwear at a playdate because that was all I had in my purse.

And I did NOT leave him in those panties the rest of the day until we went swimming at 6. No way. Not me.

And I did NOT take pictures of him in these girly panties while Sawyer kept saying, mommy those are my panties.



I did NOT eat potty training m&m's while laying in bed reading last night.

I did NOT leave those m&m's on the nightstand where Sawyer could reach them.

And I did NOT find her dumping them and stuffing her face. No way, not me. Never.
