Natural History Rocks My World

So a couple weekends ago we decided that it was high time we took the kiddos to the Natural History Museum...imagine how EXCITED I was when we got there that day and found out it was FREE because they were having a special event! How lucky was that???(c: We had so much fun with the neat exhibits and all the DINOSAURS!
This is Caden showing us his "muscles" with the big dino...

Happy Birthday, Dear Skylar!!!

Yeah, I know...there is NO WAY that she is a year old. But it's true, today is Skylar's first birthday and I don't even know exactly how I feel about that! She is so much fun and I just can't wrap my head around the fact that she has been in our family for a whole year/ONLY a year! And now she is getting so big and lady-like, this video is proof of that...yeah, just try to picture this same behavior in the middle of Sunday school with grandma. Way to take one for the team, grandma Debbie! Happy Birthday Skylar, we love you!

DID YOU DIE????!!!

No, we didn't, but I have seriously had absolutely no motivation to blog lately. Not from lack of news or pictures, just lact of motivation!!! Sad, I know. But this will be the catch-up of all catch ups...
Hannah went to Homecoming a couple of weeks ago and I agreed to do her hair, she was adorable, but when her date came to pick her up, Caden the streaker stole the show. In grandma's tennis shoes, no less...


Then it's been BALLON FIESTA!!! I love this time of year because #1 it's so fun and magical with all the ballons everywhere, and #2 because it starts feeling like FALL...ooooo, it's the best!!! The kids had so much fun with all the balloons that came our way...


Then we had the most fun of all with a visit from the Haymores! Caden loves nothing more than his bestest buddy, Rylee, and they had a blast at Explora, the zoo, and "camping" in Grandma's backyard....




We even had time for a little picture in a helicopter (Caden was obsessed with it) at the local Walmart "Fire Safety Day"...

Skylar is having a birthday at the end of the month and I can't believe she is already going to be one year old! She is getting in to absolutely EVERYTHING and loving every second! Caden of course keeps us laughing and this weekend was no exception with a quote from his new favorite movie "Meet the Robinsons":

Dad: Caden that is enough, I don't want you to do that anymore or you are going to be in trouble!
Caden: Don't sass me, boy, I know KARATE!!!

Yep, his other favorite quote that he like to use on us is "I know you're not a pigeon!"...yeah, it's really random, but darn funny at the same time!
