First ballet

Yeah it's been a while since I last updated this blog, It just got too hard keeping up with two blogs but now that summer is here and we are doing a lot of stuff there are some pictures I just don't want to share on my other blog but I want to share with my family and friends. So here's my new resolve to keep this blog updated for all my family/friends without facebook accounts :)

Clara had her first ballet/tap class last week, she was so excited about it, I don't think she actually believed me when I told her because I kept telling her I wanted to start her in one but never did. She did pretty well, she only had one discouraged moment where she sat on the floor when she couldn't do it but all in all I think she is really going to like it.

Oh Yeah

and a few more from kamryn's party.

Randomness

I have really slacked with this blog but things have been busy lately. Here's just some randomness going on in our lives.

Clara has gotten quite comfortable with dogs lately. This is our friend Matt's "puppy". I'm surprised she got so close. She was really funny with him, trying to play, feed him grass, kiss him.




This was from a bit before Kamryn's birthday, don't you love how excited they are?? Ha, boy do they get over me fast.



Crazy Kamryn. I tried to get some pictures of her in her cute birthday shirt and this crazy girl wont do anything but scowl at me. She's so funny.



I was taking pictures of Kamryn and Clara always decides she need to take pictures too. This time she thought her horse needed to be in the picture.



Her eyes are a bit squinty but I really love this picture of Clara, that hair blowing in the wind makes me happy.



I love baby hair, it's so fun to put in a little bam bam pony tail. It doesn't last long but it makes me laugh.



So yeah, not much new for us. Kamryn is walking like a champ, Clara likes to chase her around and unfortunately knock her down. We love these crazy kids.

Catch Up

Alright, I know it's been a while since I've posted but it's hard keeping up with two blogs, 2 kids, and too little time!! But I have some cute videos to share.

First up is Miss Oh So cute but Oh So Dramatic! She cracks me up!

And next is Miss Getting Ready to be Mobile. We egg her on so much trying to get her to walk, but I know I'm going to regret it soon enough. I better get her 1 year pictures done before it's too late!

snow day part II

I blogged about our snow day on the other blog but Robert got to come home early and we went back out and played some more when Kamryn went to sleep. It was the most fun I have had in a while. Clara was in heaven and we even got to have Robert home for an extra day. It was quite a treat.

Clara was quite ruthless with her snowballs, no area of the face or body were off limits to her. She was enjoying every minute of it.















and a little video

This poor little girl just can't get a break, being little is so rough! She was a terror last night and one of the many reasons I love Robert is because he slept on the couch so I could get some sleep and he could handle this girl. We took her to the doctor because she had starting pulling at her ears again and she has an ear infection. Poor girl. She's in pretty good spirits considering. I don't know how Robert is holding up though :)

Life has been fun and exciting lately, I'll share soon. We have been pretty busy and considering this is my slow time of the year, I have had at least a session a week (averaged). Hope everyone stays warm and dry, I hear we are supposed to get pretty wet tomorrow.

oh what a night

We were spoiled with Clara. She was the best baby ever. Sleeping through the night at 2 months, not waking up in the night after that, teething was a breeze, she entertained easily, and didn't need attention 100% of the time. Kamryn is SOOOO different, the opposite of everything above. Last night, and a couple nights now she has woken up crying, screaming, inconsolably until you hold her for a couple minutes. It's really sad but when she does this you know you are in for a long night/morning. Robert did the bottle, snuggled for a bit but after about 20 minutes I decided to give him a break and let him get some rest. I held her, she just blew raspberries and kisses at me... stinker... On a previous night we just let her come to bed with us, it worked. This time not so much. She just got mad again. So i decided to let her watch some cartoon. That worked for about a half hour, she was quiet, content, until I tried to lay down with her. If I wasn't holding her in the upright position, she would just get fussy again. This wasn't going to do. So she was getting sleepy, so I took her back to her room and rocked her a bit. She finally fell asleep. I decided to just take her back to our bed. Didn't work, crying again. I was done. I tossed her back into her bed, let her cry for about 10 minutes then she slept till 11 am. If only I were so lucky. It was a 1 1/2 battle. We were both pooped. Obviously Kamryn was really pooped because she NEVER falls asleep anywhere but in her bed. If only I could have crashed too.
