Messy, messy, messy!

Just a little farther....

mmm....s'good

What? Do I have something on my face?

This is what "cheese" is all about!

Um, yeah. I gave them their bowls of ravioli/spaghettios and they decided sticking their faces in the bowls to eat was much more fun than using their spoons. Shauna is actually the one that grabbed the camera while I got the tubby ready. She got some pretty awesome pictures in my opinion. The one of Cora trying to lick the "O" off her face is so funny, and I believe there is an "O" stuck to landon's top lip in one of them. They look so funny! Oh man. I hope you smile as big as I did at these pics.

Welcome Jesse and Dylan!

Homecoming

Kate and Jason bringing the boys home
got a secret to tell ya

Joke telling time

HOORAY! We are finally home

I am proud to say that the members of the Owen Party each have an upgraded status. Aunt, Uncle and cousins! Although, Kevin and I are Auntie and Uncle to some of our friends kiddos it's still fun to have acquired the title by relation. Jesse Darrell Davis, 4lbs 5oz 18in, and Dylan James Davis, 4lbs 7oz 16.5in, were born on July 16, 2008 at 1700 and 1712, respectively. They finally got to come home on August 7th, I believe for having reached the 5 lb mark! Congratulations to my step-sister, Kate, and her husband Jason on their new little bundles. And, of course, congrats to my Dad and Kelley, the proud grandparents, for being such their fourth and fifth times over. Aren't they so cute and ittle wittle. So far it sounds like all is well for the new family of four as they adjust to sleepless nights and exhausting days. Captions came from my step mom, Kelley, when she sent the pictures to me and I thought they were cute so they stuck. CONGRATULATIONS Kate and Jason!

Update on Kevin

Kevin is doing well, just really missing us. He loves all the packages that we all send him and he loves staying connected with the pictures he gets of the kids. Emails are always a great way to tell him hi and keep his spirits up so if you don't already have his email and want it you can certainly give me a call. Kevin can't wait to get home and we are both counting down the time until his return. We miss him so much and I can't wait for him to see the kids and for the kids to see him. Like I said if you want to send Kev an email, call me to get the address. He would love a hello from anyone I'm sure (just definitely don't send him any junk or forwards).

YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!

Okay, so I took the kids to the movies tonight, with Shauna, to go see Wall-E. Awesome, spectacular, cute, funny. Wall-E (the character) was so adorable and he reminded me of Number 5 from Short Curcuit (did anyone else love that movie as much as I did?). I will certainly be buying this one. The "short" before the film was HILARIOUS! The movie was touching and heartwarming, and I'm sure I could come up with a whole schlew of descriptive words but nothing can say it better than "YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!" The kids loved it, Shauna loved it, I loved it, and I loved taking the kiddos to do something fun with their mama. Anything to break the monotany. I just wish Kevin could have been there with us. We are really missing him, especially when we do family things because that is something that has always been so important to us...spending time together and doing fun things as a family.

Cute Kiddos

Club house fun!

The kids love their Cranium Clubhouse. It is so awesome! It's a lot of fun to put together and there are so many ways it can go. The kiddos love to help build their clubhouse and play inside. So as you can see they are all growing and I hope I've done enough to satisfy everyone for now. I'll keep adding posts of some of my favorite pictures that I never posted, as well as new and current ones. I really love seeing my friend's blogs and I don't know what I would do if I couldn't see pictures of their kiddos. I so hope that you all enjoy these pics as much as I do.

Keep an eye out for my next couple of posts to come. One will be of Kevin's pictures in the desert (I just have to make sure I am allowed to post them) the other will be of my new little twin nephews...I'm finally an Aunt! Thank you all for being patient with me and my craziness.

The Landon-meister!

Such a cheese ball

Stylin' after a haircut

Mom's fun with the toilet tissue...mummified

Dude, I'm good to go

Oh yeah, boo-yah beach boy

Okay now. I mean come on. Can he just stay like this forever? Landon is beyond cute and adorable. He is such a lovable kid. My goodness where do these ones come from? He has grown 2 inches in the past three months. He's just sproutin' up like a weed. Landon is really starting to talk so much more. I think he picks up a new word every day. He gets a little 'tude sometimes, but instead of being annoying it's tremendously adorable. He cracks me up. Just today he was in the playroom and I called him into the kitchen. As he came around the corner I jumped out at him and said "rah". He kept going forward as he looked over and jumped at me and went smack on the ground and he just got up laughing. We had each other cracking up! He's a funny guy. Always telling jokes and laughing and smiling. I can't believe he's my baby. My last one. I just want to stop time with my kids. Just stay small a little longer.

Cora the destroya!

My little dancing...princess

Miss funny face

A little Starlet

My Cora...is she ever a beauty. She is just talking so much and she uses a lot of "supporting" or detail words. She won't just say "Where's my cup" it's always with description "Where's my green froggy cup with the scratch on it?" I laugh every time. She, too, is growing up just a smidge too fast for me. She is nearly potty trained. She only has about one small accident a day where she doesn't quite make it to the "big" potty, and she is still in diapers at night. However, I don't think she will be much longer because she either stays dry or goes potty in the middle of the night. She can be so girlie at times and so not at other times. She LOVES millipedes. She names them and calls them her babies. I find her playing with them in the house or she'll stop and pick them up on our way to the car. Doesn't matter...if she sees them she is all over them. She absolutely adores horses and ponies. I love that about her. She is constantly asking me to play "warsies" with her. -sigh- What am I going to do with her.
