Family Pictures July 2010

We had family pictures taken last Saturday and I think they turned out pretty good. If you like them they were taken by Eyes Wide Open Photography (ewophoto.blogspot.com for her info). Here are a bunch of my favorites.

Cortlynn's 4th Birthday

Cortlynn turned 4 years old on July 20th this year. I can't believe by little girl is four years old already. This year she wanted to have a fireman birthday party. I have absolutely no idea where it came from but nothing could sway her decision so we had a fireman party at our house.















She also wanted a fireman cake, it didn't turn out how it was supposed to but she was excited about it. That's what is important because next year I go back to buying the cake again!

The Living Planet Aquarium

This year for Cortlynn's birthday she decided she wanted to go to the aquarium and see all of the fish. We had such a good time together, she could have stayed there all day if we would have let her. Kyson had a fun time as well he really liked to look at the penguins diving and swimming.

Catching Up

Wow it has been a long time since I have posted. Things at our house have been extremely busy since we tore our kitchen apart and have been living without one for about 5 weeks now! (No, I do not recommend it!) Hopefully we will only be kitchen less for 3 more weeks or so and then we can actually cook again! Yeah! ( I never thought I would actually be excited to cook again!) So here is a little update on the kids.


Kyson is getting bigger and bigger each day! He is six and a half months old and can now sit up by himself and rarely falls down anymore. He has also discovered his walker. I put him in it for the first time yesterday and within 10 minutes he figured out that he could push himself backwards. He thought that was the neatest thing and traveled across the family room within 5 minutes. I absolutely love this little boy he is so sweet even though he has turned into a major mammas boy and freaks out if i turn around and he can't see me!




Cortlynn is as busy as ever! She absolutely loves her big brother and doing anything and everything she possibly can. She currently wants to grow up to be a ballerina and loves going to play with her new friend Hallie. She also can't wait to go to preschool in the fall, she asks me all the time if she gets to go to school yet. I love this little girl, even when she drives me crazy because were so much alike!
