2012 So Far

We're a bit behind with pictures in 2012. We have spent most of our time trying to slow life down and not be as busy. So we haven't done much to take pictures of, but here are a few events. In January, we went to Liam Estrada's birthday. Most recently, we got together with the Morris clan in Rancho Mirage for the day. The best part (besides just talking with Molly) was when Evan called Ella his "best friend" and Ella called Evan her "best buddy." So wonderful!!!

Our Cuties

You'll see Katelyn in her first ponytail. She's just adorable. I wish we had filmed her reaction, though when I first put her hair up. She was standing, staring at the mirror, and she did not like the way her hair looked. She had a complete look of disgust on her face. It was priceless. Now that she's had a ponytail for 3 straight days, her hair doesn't stand up straight anymore - it actually looks like a ponytail. So fun to have a girl!

The other picture shows Evan and Katelyn having a great time together. They mean so much to us!!!

Playtime

It's so fun to watch Katelyn try to mimic everything that Evan does. It reminds me so much of the videos of Molly imitating everything that Kristen and I did. It's such a joy to watch them play together.

Halloween 2011

Tonight was a fun night. We dressed the kids in their costumes (Evan - Buzz Lightyear, Katelyn - a cat) and went to Chipotle for dinner. Then we went to a church near us called the River's Edge. They had a festival going on with a jumper, games, and candy. The kids had a great time.

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch today. Evan had a blast on the jumpers that they had there. They both also enjoyed climbing on the hay stacks. It was funny to me because Evan had been talking about how he wanted a BIG pumpkin and then we only came home with two mini pumpkins. He just didn't find a big one that he wanted.

So Cute!

Evan and Katelyn were "sleeping" together on the couch yesterday. It was super cute. I love when they are getting along and playing together!

Swimming Lessons

Evan and Katelyn finished up their 2 weeks of swimming lessons. Katelyn is a total water baby and passed with flying colors. Ken said that today another parent even commented that she was the "All Star" of her class. Evan likes to swim, but doesn't enjoy the back float - at all. He made great progress over the 2 weeks though and did a great job blowing bubbles, kicking, and starting to swim with his arms.
