Changes!!

This is what Miss Caroline has been up to....pulling up on everything!! She just crawls right over to the table, couch, ottoman, anything and pulls herself up.


Chapman's room has been so much fun putting together. We have been collecting his artwork that he made last year at "shool" and this summer at his "prodram" in a basket in his closet. I told Mitch that I may frame some of the things to display on his wall and he suggested getting a bulletin board. I thought that was a great idea so off to Hobby Lobby I went. I had so much fun making this for him. When he got up from his nap and saw the board he was really excited. I told him that when Mitch got home from work he would put it up on the wall. Later that night Mitch got it hung up and we let Chapman look through his art and pick out what he wanted to display. After we got everything put up Mitch said, "Well Chapman, what do you think?" He stood there for a second and then said, "Woah, I made a lot of stup!" We cracked up. It was so cute to hear him say that. He has enjoyed seeing his artwork displayed!


This is the result of fighting some sleep in the worst way, even to the point of propping yourself up with every pillow and stuffed animal on your bed so that you are sitting straight up and then falling asleep anyway!! : ) It is hard to tell but he is sitting up with his legs crossed. I found him like this in his room yesterday during naptime.

And I must brag for a minute...Chapman has done so well with *change*! He did great with potty training and the other day I said, "Chapman, we are getting rid of your paci today. Daddy has babies at work that need them and so he is taking them to work." He seriously didn't skip a beat. I couldn't believe it. As much as he always wanted it, I thought it would be terrible trying to take it from him but he did great. Didn't ask one time for it and still hasn't! I am so impressed! He goes to sleep just fine without it.

Cute Pictures

I finally was able to upload pictures! But it took so long I only did 3!


This picture cracks me up and begs the question all of us have once or twice asked ourselves, "And why do we pay money for toys??" The laundry basket is so much fun on a lazy Friday morning!






And this is what happens when daddy has worked 75+ hours in one week and wants to take a nap and the kiddos find out he is home. They of course want a horsey ride! Sorry daddy, no nap for you! Even if you did only sleep 3 hours last night! : )



This picture is of my very brave boy jumping off the diving board for the very first time! He did great! Of course daddy was there to catch him. This picture was from his cousin Caden's 2nd birthday party which we were able to go to last week in Missouri. Happy Birthday Caden!
