Zoo Trip!

We visited the zoo last Monday; it was our little field trip for Jocelyn's last week before summer break! The kids had a great time! We visited the children's zoo and saw bears and penguins.

Train Twins

Bella inherited some outgrown Thomas the Train pjs from Coyle! She has become such a train fan, too! She gets so excited when we drive by the train yard, yelling "Choo choo!"

18 months

Bella went to the doctor for her 18 month well visit this past Thursday. She's growing like a weed and doing well. Here are her stats:

Weight-23 lbs. 5 oz. (35%)

Height-33 inches (86%)

Head circ.-18 1/4 inches (46%)

Bella is starting to talk more saying words like, hi, bye bye, night night, please, roll, ball, Dad, Mom....She can be the sweetest little girl in the world giving out hugs and kisses and snuggling but she also has a fierce temper and can scream very loudly when she's upset. She loves to help pick up, is a great eater, adores her brother and loves to climb on everything at the park and go down slides on her belly feet first! She loves being outdoors!! In our backyard her favorite things to do are push her shopping cart around and play in the playhouse!

Her ears have been perfect since having the tubes put in! She has had a couple of colds and allergies since then so we're thankful we had them put in, otherwise we know she would've had more ear infections. Anytime her nose ran prior to tubes she would get an ear infection!

I'll post some new pictures soon. Things have been very hectic trying to take care of the kids and unpack all the boxes!

Meet the Machines

It takes serious concentration to operate an excavator.

On Saturday Coyle and Clay headed out to Meet the Machines, a free event where kids get to climb on and operate construction equipment. Coyle got his own hard hat and operated an excavator and got in a dump truck. He loved every minute of it!

Bella-17 months!

Easter at Home

Coyle was an egg hunter on a mission.
