Thumbs up

So on Saturday this weekend we went to the Flight Museum out by Love Field Airport. We went with another family that have been friends with Dan since the college days. They are such fun and have two adorable boys. We met up with them right at ten o'clock when the museum opened and had a great time. Apparently it was cockpit day so they had people at every simulator and plane to assist kids getting into and out of the cockpits. Well we were only able to talk Sam into getting into one of the cockpits.

We also had a lot of fun getting ready to get out the door. Earlier that morning at 7AM Dan went to drop his car off to get some work done and well the girls and I were just getting up and around and so Dan ran home for the car place..heheheh He actually loved it since he wanted to get some exercise in.

Here are the girls ready to go and I was running around trying to pack up a diaper bag so asked them to sit still for a minute (as Alex's new trick is going straight for the stairs)...

Alex immediately wanting Sam's hat and surprisingly Sam didn't get upset about this...I think she was very excited to go to the museum.


Sam sporting her cute hat we got her at the Rangers game we went to earlier in the summer.

Sam getting into the simulator cockpit. She is looking a little hesitant at first but Daddy was right there with her.

Now she is getting into her groove (I think all those buttons helped)...and giving us the thumbs up sign..

Eating in versus eating out

Well we are in that phase that all you moms know is all kinds of fun. It is much easier to strap the little one in the high chair and eat at home so you can get up and down a million times to get new and different things to try and let the little one eat for the first time. However eating out is also soooo much fun because then you don't have to clean up the huge mess underneath the highchair.

Alex is a great eater and loves to get in her highchair for dinner time..

Now the clean up process is much more of a beating these days as she insists on feeding herself. So I have resorted to basically stripping her down right there in the kitchen on the floor or I have even done the silly thing of taking her to the front lawn and shaking her off..heheeh yeah Sam thought that was funny but hey it worked.

Here is what Alex looks like during a normal dinner....My sweet baby....

Story time and play time before bed

So one night this past week Dan went to read bedtime stories to Alex and I was going to take Sam to her room to read her her stories and Sam went running in to Alex's room and decided to jump on Dans lap for story time with Alex. It was so cute I ran to get the camera and take a few pictures.

Here Dan is reading one of their favorites Good Night Moon. Dan has the thing memorized and lets them flip the pages as he recites from memory. Sam was having so much fun Dan ended up reading a lot of books to them that night.

Then it was time for Alex to get into her crib and well Sam didn't want her to be lonely so she wanted to get in too. They had so much fun playing in the crib and I cracked up looking at them both in there. Alex looks very serious but she was cracking up a second earlier.

And this is what we get greeted with now in the mornings when we go in to get Alex. She can pull up in her crib and she is practicing cruising...So she is usually standing up waiting for us to go get her.
Ahhh they are growing up so fast......

Dress up and crawling

So I know I mentioned Sam's favorite new thing to do is play dress up with Alex, well that continues. Sam got a cape at a SuperHero party we went to a few months ago and that has become one of her favorite things to put on Alex (mainly because she can do it herself without our help) and Alex seems to love it too. So got a few cute pictures of them playing one day dress up.

Alex dressed up as "Girl Batman" per Sam.

Sam is Minnie Mouse (that dress is way too small for her but she still insists on putting it on).

Alex is starting to want the cape off because it is interfering with her.......CRAWLING...

Yes we have a CRAWLER....LOOK OUT!!!!



And now we are all caught back up again. I hope not to be more than a couple weeks behind in getting posts up....That is my goal so we will see how I do with it....

Fourth of July

We had a very low key Fourth of July this year it was nice. We did get to help celebrate my Father in laws birthday but the rest of the weekend was just laying low time...

We did take a few pictures of the girls in their 4th of July tank tops that they looked so cute in..

Random pictures in late June

I found a few pictures from late June that I took trying to get a good one of the girls together. Which is seriously such a challenge..

Alex is such a ham it cracks me up....

Fathers Day

So for Fathers Day this year all the men in the family banned together and decided they wanted to go to Randy Whites BBQ. Sounds good to me. We had a fun lunch with the whole family. I couldn't figure out why I don't have more then the two pictures below from Fathers day and that is because my camera battery died. Sorry Dan no pictures of him with the girls on this special day. These girls are such daddy's girls. So cute to see their faces light up when Dan gets home from work.

Sam being silly....

Kendall and Alex having some bonding time too...
