Just a good ole time

We bought this water spray mat thingy last year on clearance. Kellan would have nothing to do with it (then). This years a whole different story. They clearly both love it!!

Kellan and Campbell

Warning...this post is heavy on the pictures as there was no way to just pick out a few favorites.


A few weeks ago we met with our dear, sweet, patient photographer friend Jennifer from
Haute Shot Photography. We haven't had any pictures made since January when we did newborn/family pictures. Kellan now 2 years (and 3 months if your counting) and Campbell already 7 months old, going on 17, we figured it was time for a photo shoot. Though we met Jennifer at a VERY early 10am, July in Texas is hot regardless of the hour, but she with out fail managed to capture many awesome shots!!

Thanks yet again for a great photo experience, and in case your wondering, Kellan did get a new Mater later that day for being such a cooperative big brother.

Oh no, Pister fall down!

Looks pretty sweet and Innocent, with a hint of deception in those baby blues!!

"Tickle Tickle, Pister"

Campbell sucks two fingers just like big brother ??

If your wondering about Kellan's silly face, let me explain. This is the face he makes when asked if he wants to kiss a kitty, rabbit and on this day it was a squirrel.

Not to brag, but cute kids!!

More outdoor fun

So day 2 of frog pool fun, mamma was prepared. I actually suited Kellan up in his 6-12 month trunks from last year, lathered him up with lots of SPF and brought out all the water/sand/pool toys. He was ready !

Its been working out where Kellan gets up from his nap, I feed Campbell, put her down then its Kellan and mommy time (love it). That's why there are no pictures of her outside, just in case you where wondering.

Then I brought out and blew up myself (sigh) this big ole beach ball (b-day present from the Goldens)that you hook the water hose up to and it spays all over the place. He loved it !!

The next day I invited Kellan's girlfriends Willa & Dovie over to share some of the excitement, only Dovie got sprayed in the face with water and decided to go with her momma for a car ride to pick up her daddy.

These 2 played so well with one another. Couldn't care less they were getting soaked in the face.

Then it was time for a pick up ride, notice Kellan's letting Willa drive ????

Not sure whats going on here ?? Willa's a little rebel, no fear riding the four wheeler off the porch.

Frog pool fun

Bibi and Pa bought Kellan a little blow up frog pool his first summer. He has never showed a bit of interest in it. Actually, i think he would scream bloody murder last year if we even suggested he try it out. One Monday a few weeks ago I decided to blow it up and fill it with water while he was napping. Daddy has decked out the open space under his swing set fort so now we have a perfect shady play space. When he woke up, and Pister went down I took him outside to check it out.
At first he just stared at it.
Then I told him he could splash, something he's not allowed to do in the bath tub.

Then he got his feet in, and slipped so he was all wet.

Then it was on!!

And its been a daily hit ever since. Weather permitting we are out there daily.

He had to take a break to cruise in his bubble car.

Then back in the pool, with no shorts ??

Snack break, Lightning juice and applegrapes (what he calls em).

A Texas sized snow

I think everyone in the world knows us Texas folk where quite surprised when the flakes started falling February 11, 2010. It was like no other Texas winter I had ever experienced. And possibly the only snow filled Texas winter my kiddos will experience. Of course Campbell slept thru the whole thing.
Notice the flying dog in the back ground.

He's sitting on the snow.

Margo chasing Bella

I think you can tell from the pictures who enjoyed the snow the most. It brought out a different side of the doggies. Margo has never once played with Bella and Beau, but something about the snow, they all three played together.

Kellan's favorite part was daddy throwing snowballs in the air and watching Margo catch them with her mouth. Oh and his bubble car !
