Lately

So that whole summer update thing is coming soon... promise. But here's lately just for fun.

Uncle Thomas (or chomas, or bebey) pulled a surprise visit on us when he was headed back to college. Obviously, Chloe loves chomas.




She has also had a lot of fun getting to know Aunt Ourtney (Courtney) and Uncle John (I mean, Paul) as they live only about 20 min. away. She talks about them frequently and loves the life size Dora blow up doll they brought her. (I'll have to get their picture next time they come by, and Dora too of course).


Here are a few pictures of the house and girls as of late




Here's our backyard and the trampoline we got off craigslist. We sure LOVE our backyard and have used both lemons and limes from our two trees several times. Too bad Chloe doesn't go out there more often. Sigh.


Mae Examining a leaf

Mae getting REAL mad when I took the leaf away after she attempted to eat it


What is better than a sister?

(FYI: Notice the very dirty bedroom in the background? And the fact that Chloe is in a swimming suit and I believe those white tights are pulled over the suit. Also note that Mae isn't smiling in this picture. Well, this is a pretty typical day. Messy room, Chloe insisting she wear her bathing suit and Mae bewildered and/or sometimes crying/mad because Chloe is poking her in the eyes, covering her head with a blanket, and every once in a while, giving her a hug. But it's worth it:)

You just make me feel so good... I love to see that our children are on the same page. Jackson is the same with Porter. He did so well with him as a baby. But every since Porter could sit up he does all or the Older sibling things! sigh! And I LOVED the picture of Mae when you took away her leaf. Porter has THE exact crybaby face when I take things from him! they could be twin boy and girl! at least when they are crying.

Isn't it funny how they know what they want already? the babies. I mean Porter is only nine months and he gets his feelings hurt SO easy!!! He knows what he wants AND he has all these expectations! I think its so funny, it makes me laugh when I take something away from him that he shouldn't have and he get so mad, or when I stop him from going down the stairs and he gets so mad. haha, That pic. was classic!

So much to say...!

Chloe looks like a little fairy in that dress. Love it!

And Mae is adorable! Both the girls and your house look sooo cute!

That's a fabulous size for a kids' trampoline! Trenton would LOVE that thing!

Love that messy room too! :) haha That's how ours look too.

(Haha, how many times did I just say love?)

It was wonderful talking to you today - We need to do that more!

I love your cute house! What a blessing to have a backyard. Seeing those two cute girls makes we wish we lived closer, esp. for Macie's sake. I think Chloe and her could eventually warm up if Macie could just be nice. : ) And Macie loves to wear a swimsuit too!
