Long Time, No Blog!!

So sorry about the lack of posts lately. Things have been crazy around here. I am amazed every day at the little people Nate and Lilly are becoming right before our eyes! They are learning so much and becoming more adventurous. They have been testing their limits with us every day!

Okay, so there has just been too much going on to talk about everything since my last post, BUT what I can do is post a bunch of pictures!! I am enjoying my camera again!

Oops- these two are from my cell phone. We went out to eat last weekend and tried to put them in booster seats for the first time instead of high chairs (COMPLETE FAIL!) They didn't want to stay in them, they wanted to switch seats over and over, they were sliding out of them.. It was not a very pleasant experience!
Daddy helping Lilly color her menu.

Some pictures of our big kids in their back packs- ready for school!

They have really been enjoying the new "school", by the way. It is working out well, which is a big releif for me!

Obviously, September is still warm in Texas!

Pigging out on breakfast Saturday morning

Last weekend we tried "piggy tails", (or "doggy ears" as we used to call them). It was SUPER CUTE!!

Making Daddy put some chapstick on her..

Sitting and reading peacefully (if only this would have lasted a little longer!!)

They love pretend cleaning!

We broke out some fall decor, including Mr. Scarecrow, whom they have grown quite fond of!!

Nate is also very fond of his cars! He loves playing with them, especially up on the couch like this..
Lilly has her purse on her arm and she's getting baby ready to go..

First she had to change baby's diaper. I guess even baby DOLLS always mess their diapers before you're about to leave to go somewhere?!?

Nate playing with cars up by the TV.. while holding on tightly to his huge teddy bear and silky..

Lilly likes to crawl up in this chair and play on the key board..

Taking a break.. (see his cars next to him on the arm of the couch?)

And now that the beautiful (and so much more tolerable) fall weather is here, we are in our new pants and new shoes..(well, at least they're new to us.. most if the clothes are from my sisters' kids!! We got so lucky!)

Telling me about an airplane he heard/saw up in the sky..

Also, now that the weather is nicer, they NEVER want to go inside when we get home. Lilly loves to climb up in my seat and hang out!!

I got in the next morning and my brights were on, wind shield wipers were on high!

I loved these sweet overalls..
