All Fours

Someone's about to get going.

Cloth Diapers

I love my cloth diapers. Mostly for how much money we save. Yay for savings!

Plus, this little guy looks so stinking cute with his colorful little tush.

He looks thrilled!

Stain Fighting Team

I saw this on a friend's blog not long ago.

We have some seriously stained clothes in our house, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

It's awesome! My friend claims that it's been incredibly gentle on her little one's clothes and their sensitive skin. She throws a little scoop into every load during those months where the outdoor stains are more frequent. So far I'm loving the back up.

For those interested - it's one part of each all mixed together.

Go team!

We can't stop laughing at these pictures.

And the good news is.... he insists on wearing them in every bath. Every day.

What a ham.

One time we took a long trip.

Back in March we took a trip. My mom used her spring break to go visit our family in Alabama. I tagged along to visit and to also see some of my college room mates. And make our children become friends, ha!

Aren't these babies just angels? From left to right: Jackson is mine, AP is Lindsay's and Laurie is SB's. They really took to laying next to each other quite nicely. (Laurie isn't crying, she's doing some newborn stretches...)

These boys....these boys are awesome. They all played so hard you'd have thought it was a race. They played outside, collected sticks, watched Toy Story like 5 times and played outside some more.

Stephen (in the navy) is SB's, J (in the orange) is Lindsay's, and G is in green. They'll all be in the same school grade. Isn't that cute?
And here we all are... No visit is complete without a walk. I miss these girls so much. And I love meeting and loving their babies!

I know what you're thinking. I only see three adults and six children. Your math is correct. We were just that desperate to see each other. Thanks SB for hosting us all! Once the kids were in bed we talked as fast as we could and stayed up way too late considering our little alarm clocks were up and begging for breakfast way earlier than usual. Despite the craziness I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Now back to our family. Did I forget to mention that everyone came? Yes, the whole fam-damily. All 10 of us were quite the caravan. We had such a wonderful time visiting our family down there. There were thousands of diapers and hundreds of sippy cups and DVDs, oh and plenty of hard outside playing. I won't mention names, but G had a great time playing in a pile of soot, that was a fun one. We love our family and I seriously hate all the hours between us!

Sisters and babies. We're never in pictures together.

Almost everyone... Maybe one day we'll all gather together. I long for the day!
And isn't this picture just awesome? We were all just sitting around talking and looked over to catch a glimpse of Caleb just sitting in the magazine rack. The grin on his face shows how proud of he is of himself. He's so precious.
Until next year. A long car ride with babies really reinforces the wonder of air travel.

Also, we ate chick-fil-a twice in one day on our return drive. Something like that only needs to happen once a year.

Lately.

I know, I know, it's been a while. I'll make no excuses. Two kids, two in diapers, lots of rain.... life is crazy.

There are many blog posts I'm working on. My camera memory stick is full. FULL. So this one is just a teaser for now.

So what have we been up to?

We've been doing quite a bit of coloring.

Every kid just needs a big box.

This is where the big box came from.

Every momma of two really just needs a double jogger.

Don't they look cute? And happy?

We love our long walks.

Isn't he just the cutest?

I promise to be caught up soon, check back!
