What's Been Happening...

Things around our house are pretty slow and mellow these days while Mommy is recovering and has very little energy. Here are some shots from the last couple of weeks. 
Caleb hates when Daddy leaves for work. His go-to spot for pouting is on the side of the fridge. 
 After 4 weeks of using these, Mommy finally got upgraded to a straw and I can now take my bands on and off without the forceps. Progress!!
 It's hard work being two!
 Mommy was sneaky and took this picture one night after Daddy fell asleep. I love when he falls asleep holding my hand. 
 Gwen is loving dance! She listens so well and tries to hard to do exactly what her teacher tells the class. I think we found her happy place. 
 The kids got to watch a quick show before bed one evening. I loved how they plopped down in birth order. 
 Adam loves taking pictures of the cities he builds. 
 Pa treated us to a fun night at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. It was so funny and I loved hearing Adam and Tessa belly laugh all night long. Mommy's face was sore from laughing (and trying to laugh) all night long. 

 It was Tessa's first year and she loved it!
 Mommy needed some retail therapy, so Mommy and Tessa got to have some one on one time and went to the mall for a bit. We got new sunglasses and Tessa got some new earrings. 
 We had a fun Labor Day BBQ at Ma and Pa's house and we had a fun evening playing 9 square in the Air. 



 Caleb loves doughnuts! We all cracked up at how he ate his chocolate doughnut one morning. 
 Mommy, Gwen, and Caleb ventured out one morning and went to story time at the BYU Art Museum under the rainbow. 
 Gwen decided to work on her art. She is hard work sometimes!
Daddy took the kids to the park one evening. Caleb has always been afraid of the swings, but Daddy forced him into one. By the look on his face, I'd say he changed his mind!

 Caleb is such a rotten eater. When he finally decides he wants to eat something, we happily oblige. Even if his meal is completely ridiculous.

Princess Tea Party

The end of August brought the much anticipated Princess Tea Party for Tessa and Gwen. We have gone to this for 3 years now and we love it. Sadly, Mommy wasn't feeling up to going this year, but we are blessed with wonderful friends who took the girls for me. Tess and Gwen got all dressed up and ready to go bright and early that morning. They didn't want to miss anything!


 



 They had lots of fun spending the day with Presley (Gwen's bff) and Kristin was a gem and took lots of pictures for me! When the girls got home, they said they had a wonderful time. As always, their favorite activities were the dancing and the puppet show,

Caleb

My cutie pie, Caleb for his 2 year old pictures. They went about as good as his 1 year old pictures. He would pretty much rather do anything than take pictures. We let him bring some of his favorite toys and I love the photos we got with him playing. He is such a sweet little boy! We love him so much and can't believe he is already two!!
