Colby's "Second Wife"

Cailyn has really enjoyed watching Colby remodel our office to make it the new babies' room. The other night Colby came home from work after staying an hour late and dealing with difficult customers. He was worn out and hungry. The instant he came in the door Cailyn had the following conversation with him:

Cailyn: Daddy, can you work on the babies' room so I can watch you?
Colby: There's not really anything left to do in their room.
Cailyn: Do you have a ceiling fan for their room?
Colby: Yes.
Cailyn: Is it up yet?
Colby: No.
Cailyn: Well, then put it up!

She sounded like such a nagging little wife! It was pretty cute. :)

Beach Bums

I can't believe it's mid-July and this is the first time we've been to the beach this year! We had lots of fun but I think it wore everybody out. :)

Landon's Bedtime Inventory

(See attached picture) Landon is such a particular kid. When he goes down for a nap or bedtime there are specific items he MUST have before he'll go to sleep. Most kids have a stuffed animal or maybe a blanket. But Landon has a long list of things:

2 blue blankets
1 white blanket
1 Sponge Bob beach towel (fold just right so that he can see Sponge Bob's face)
2 Mickey Mouse dolls
1 Blue dog
1 Magenta dog
1 Dalmatian dog
1 white binky

Reading with Daddy

We got this book from the library last week and it is Cailyn's favorite book. And she just LOVES reading it with her Daddy! They've read it together 4 nights in a row now. I just think it's so cute to listen to them in her room reading it and I'm glad that Colby takes the time (even when we are getting the kids into bed at 9:45pm!) to read it with her. :)

21 Weeks

Woo hoo, we're halfway there! Okay, just slightly more than half way, but who's counting? Oh, wait ... I am!!!

Daddy's Little Helper

Colby has been working hard getting our office converted into the babies new room. Cailyn and Landon have been his little shadows, watching everything he does and getting his tools when he needs help. Yesterday Colby was using his drill when suddenly Landon jumped up and went to grab his toy drill and started working on his own. What a cutie!

Landon being ... Landon

So the other night we got the kids into their pjs and tucked them into bed and Colby and I went and watched TV on the couch. Probably about an hour later Landon came into the family room wide awake, wearing nothing but a diaper and his car shoes! We both just started laughing so hard. This kid is such a nut!!!
