Curt and Alexis, part 2

We hung out at Chuck's parents on Sat. and Alexis was over there!!! Here she is eating a peach...


Curt and Aunt Aimee sharing a Cheeto!!



He's really not too sure about the ice cream sandwhich....but he doesn't put it down though!!!


Alexis liked the cookie part better than the cold ice cream!


They both want the kid sized chair....but somehow i'm not sure either of them will back down!!!

Curt and Alexis, Part 1



We went to Aunt Aimee's house to play with Alexis last week! We took the tunnel and it was a big hit!



going in!


Okay, Alexis will chew on anything (as you can see by the hinge on the door!!) and also wedge herself into small holes!! I have yet to get a picture of that!


funny face!


Peek a boo!!

God loves me!


Curt crawled in Kylie's laundry hamper, so Kylie just decided to pull him!! He loved it!! Reminds me of a horse and buggy!



This is what happens when I step away for just a second while he is eating oatmeal! He decided to stick his hands in it!!


and then rub it all over his face!


This is one of Curt's favorite books!!! He loves the babies and to hear what God made....at the back is a mirror and it says, "God made me, God loves me!!"


Kiss the baby!!!

Tball!!

Okay, on Aimee's blog, she has on the sidebar the blogs that she reads, and some of them have when they were last updated on there....I really don't like that everyone sees that I haven't updated my blog lately, so I'm going to try harder to update more often!!!

I have a ton of pics that I want to put up, so I'm going to try to split them up into a few posts before Curt wakes up from his morning nap...


Kylie decided to do this all by herself! She loved pulling her baby!

this night she decided to put curt in the wagon!! He's lucky he didn't fall out!!!



Papa reading to Curt. Curt will now spend a long time pulling books off his shelf and reading them....and then bringing a few to you to read to him...




Curt loves to play Tball!!

VBS!!!



Kylie and even Curt are having so much fun at VBS! I remember VBS being the highlight of my summer when I was a kid and I want that for Kylie as well. I'll have numbers of the kids that made desicions tomorrow, but I do know that our first snack group was a group of 12 at 9:30 and only 2 showed up. I asked a little girl where the rest of her class was and she said that they were back in the main room because they accepted Christ!!!

Kylie and Clara at craft time




Kylie in snacks...we had ice cream sundae's today.




Kylie and GG!!!





This is a video of Kylie doing the motions to the VBS theme song...she gets a little distracted at the end....

Happy Birthday to me!



Chuck's parents took me and Chuck and the kids to Papacitas for dinner for my birthday!! And yes, I bought my own cake!!! When I lived at home, my mom always made my cakes. So when I got married I had to make my own cakes!! I just didn't have time to make my cake this year, so I got a cookie cake, and boy is it good!!! Well, Chuck also brought my presents too!! This is what I got....(pictures to come)


a candle....I oh so love candles!!

and, drum roll please....



A Sears receipt!!!! But, it's a pickup receipt for Friday!! I got an elliptical!! I am so excited!! I remember in OK getting up at 5am and working out at the rec center, and I loved it!! I really want that feeling back...and I want to keep losing weight, it's kinda fun shopping for smaller sizes!

VBS

We have VBS this week at Chuck's parents church and Kylie is big enough there to go around to all the VBS stations!! She loves it!! She participates in the big kids auditorium, too....

I'm doing snacks for all the kiddos, and even Curt is getting where he's not screaming too much when I drop him off....I meant to take my camera to get lots of pics, but I forgot it...I'll try to remember tomorrow....Kylie is so cute doing her hand motions to the 'Outrigger Island' songs!!!

First haircut and first 'big' haircut

The kids got their first 'big' haircuts this morning!! That was an experience!!


This was yesterday morning eating his oatmeal (oh, typical breakfast for this hungry boy is a cereal bar, an adult size bowl of oatmeal, and then a tray of fruit and cherrios....he's going to eat me out of house and home before he's 2!!) oh, note the hair....getting a little long....



This was after last night's bath.....could be mistaken for a girl with that hair!!! chuck has trimmed it a few times, but this will be the first going for a haircut...



"Mom, don't let them touch my hair!!!"

Before the cut...."Mom, I really don't know about this...let's just go."



Kylie took this pic because I was having to hold him down.....not bad, but he was NOT cooperating....in fact, there were lots of tears.....



The after pic....now that's a handsome little boy....not happy by any means, but handsome!!



Okay, Kylie has had a few trims at Supercuts, or whatever the place is inside walmart, but this time she decided she wanted a big girl cut, meaning with her hair washed and styled and the works....so we went to the lady that does my hair. She loved getting her hair washed, she said it felt 'pretty great!'




We got 4 inched cut off...I was tired of constantly having to have it up in a ponytail because it's getting so hot outside...she wanted it shorter, but I wouldn't get it that short!! I kept thinking of Nikki, for if I took Kylie to the salon where they live, I don't think I would have gotten a say in what they would have done to her hair!!



Blackmail picture?? Curt has taken up carrying Kylie's purses around.....

Days in Dallas

We got to spend a few days in Dallas with my sister due to the fact that I had another dental checkup....whoo hoo....the dentist....

The kids had so much fun though! Here they are having a picnic outside about to get in the splash pool...




Curt and Karalyn really enjoyed just dumping the water out!!



I don't know what Kylie was pretending to be.....a dolphin maybe?



I love this picture....Karalyn is looking so sweetly at Curt....



We went to a really cool place called Planet Pizza. It's an indoor amusement park for kids....super fun!! Kylie could do everything and Curt could do a few things if he rode with Karen or I.


Kylie didn't know about the bumper cars at first, but then she liked being able to 'drive' by herself!!



This was the flying spaceship thing...Curt really wanted on there but I don't think I would have fit....



This is the roller coaster....It went a lot faster than I thought it would, but they loved it!! It went forward and then went backwards....Curt rode this with me and just loved it!!



This was the spinning 'tea cups'....Kylie loves being spun so this was right up her alley....get the girl ready for Disney!! Curt liked this one too...

What I didn't get a picture of was Kylie's favorite ride...maybe my sister will email it to me so I can post it...(hint hint)....Do you remember the pirate ships at the big amusment parks that swing back and forth?? They had a mini version of that and it took Kylie all morning to work up the courage to go on it but once she did she loved it!! She rode it 3 times before we left and is still talking about the 'swinging boat'....she said it was her absolute favorite!! I think we are ready for Disney after all these rides!! Too bad we are not going until Dec!!
