"Woll ovah!"

Karalee likes to help Alastair, whether he wants it or not lol. She always wants to "hol im" (Hold him) and she likes to encourage him to "woll ovah!" (Roll over) Alastair forgot he could roll from his tummy to his back for a little bit and he was quite upset when he'd roll to his tummy and get stuck. He's sleeping in his room but he wakes up every single time he rolls over so I'm a little sleep deprived and it just depends how long my energy holds out before I bring him to bed with us lol.

Making a break for it!

Art Deco

Karalee LOVES to paint and she LOVES water so she decided to combine both as she shared her artistic ability. She'll dump the water and then go "Mo watah!" as she dashes to the hose because after all that is where water comes from. ;) She cracks me up because almost any time we're outside she wants to use the hose to water something, wether it's washing chalk off the porch, watering the plants, or having me spray her the hose usually comes out lol.

July Fun

This is a group of fun photo's we took in July, enjoy these cuties as much as we do! July saw Alastair have his first laugh (July 31st!) and Karalee teaching us how to run with out a care in the world. It also saw my getting a hutch! I've wanted one for so long, our neighbors family was selling this one so we snatched it up! It's holding our dolphin decorations and our wedding candles. I love it!

Amy & Kloden Visit!

My friend Amy and her son Kloden were able to come down and spend some time with us which was very exciting! Amy's husband was training for I believe an Iron Man competition that's coming up in August. Amy is also training for a triathalon! They put my walking to shame I must say lol. Kloden is adorable and has this chubby little legs you just want to munch on! He smiles so cute and he did so great with both Karalee and Alastair. Karalee was fascinated to have another baby around and Alastair was intrigued to see someone closer to his age as well. We went to the zoo thinking it would be nice since hey it was only supposed to be 80 something and slightly overcast. What we didn't realize was how stinking hot the humidity was going to make things! I know, I know. All of you who live in IL, KS etc are laughing your butts off at me right now for whining about humidity. I hate humidity, it just bites lol. So we only made it about halfway thru the zoo, got ice cream to cool off and then headed back to my place for a bit. Amy takes the most amazing photographs, I totally wish I had her eye! I have so many friends that take these amazing pictures and doggone it none of them live in CO! What's up with that??
