Kaitlyn has obviously learned what a door knob is and what to do with it. She was sticking the car keys in Frank and Linda's front door the other night.

We took the girls to an Inflatable place in Greenville one Saturday and I think Kaitlyn enjoyed it better than Addison

Well I can't believe it is the end of summer! Today is Labor Day and we have had a great weekend. We started it out with getting a babysitter for Friday night so Mommy and Daddy could go on a date then Saturday morning we went to work out together and then went to try some scones at Flat Rock Bakery. They were great just like we had heard! Then we went home and got some things done around the house that we had been meaning to. Next we went over to Nana and Poppies' to celebrate Nana's birthday. Then on Sunday we went to church and Sunday School where Kaitlyn had her first bloody incident. She fell while walking with a plastic spoon in the nursery and cut her gum pretty good. The EMT said there really wasn't anything we could do for it but let it heal since it was in her mouth. She got two pop sickles out of it and was fine. Next we headed down to Travelers Rest, SC with the girls and Joseph and Kelly to go on the 23 mile bike ride to downtown Greenville. We wanted to try out our bike trailer for the girls that I bought recently at the garage sale. We met my mom, dad and brother down there and they rode with us. I was a little nervous about my mom but she did awesome! She almost made it the whole way but she fell pretty hard on the way back and didn't finish the last mile or two but we were still impressed! The girls loved their "buggy" And I know Josh loved it pulling it back up 11 miles back to Travelers Rest since it was an added 50-60 pounds. Oh I can't forget to mention that it flew out of our utility trailer on the way back up the mountain. Josh and Joseph were able to rescue it but it does have a few rug burns on it. (Jason and Cara sound familiar?) We made it back home, put the girls down, and watched a movie. We then woke up this morning dropped the dogs off to the groomers, headed to Crossfit, then coffee, then home for lunch and naps then off to the parade! Now we are back from the parade and the girls are supposed to be napping but I still hear them awake so this post may take a few days!

So that was our Labor Day weekend. As far as the last two months, Kaitlyn started walking and drinking milk out of sippy cups. Kaitlyn turned one year old and we had her birthday party! Addison went away for a weekend away from us to visit aunt Jenny with Nana and Poppie. Addison then went to the Crossfit games with us in Woodstock, GA while Kaitlyn stayed up here. Lily, our dog, was poisined with anti-freeze when she got out of the fence and quite a few dollars later she is doing okay though! We are still working on potty training with Addison. We need to committ but we haven't yet. Addison has put together some interesting phrases. Kaitlyn's personality has came out with full force.

Weston is 2 Years’s old & Hurricane Helene

-
Image
Weston started preschool for the first time in August. We were nervous about him biting other children as he bites an often. He will bite our shoulders when things do lot go his way. He enjoys going to nursery at church and childcare at the YMCA so we were hopeful he would enjoy it. So far he has done great! I did get a notice from the school that he had been bit by another child. I had to read it twice to make sure I read it right but I did. Weston is very outgoing and likes interacting with the people he is around.   Weston still doesn’t use many words but it is increasing at a slow rate.  He can say Mama, Dada, Go, Bubble, Ball, Hello, Up, Hi, and Out.  We have started him in speech therapy.  Weston is starting to be more of a daddy’s boy. He has asked him to rock him to sleep a few times. He loves to be outside especially anytime daddy is outside. We have to make sure the front door has a safety lock on it or he will just walk out the front door when no one is pa...

Boy How Time Flies!

Well I can't believe Addison is 17 months old and Kaitlyn is a few days away from being 2 months old! We are all doing well. Addison is saying more and more words. She pretty much tries to repeat most of the words we say. Josh just keeps saying "She is so much fun". Addison is becoming more of a daddy's girl since I am always nursing Kaitlyn or picking up the house. She says "Dada" much more than "Mama." She now calls my father Papa and my mom Mimi. My father came up this weekend and if any of you know my father, of course, he bought us doughnuts. And Addison definitely knows the word doughnuts due to my dad. I am having to look for winter clothes for Addison so I am on the hunt for cheap winter outfits for her. Clothes are so expensive! Kaitlyn is growing out of all of her newborn size clothes but I keep putting them on her because I know she will never wear these cute outfits ever again. She has started cooing and she smiles a lot. She is sleepin...

1 Year Old Birthday Party

I can't believe Addison is a year old today!! She had a wonderful turnout at her birthday party this past Saturday. I believe there were over 35 people total that came! She got many clothes, toys and socks. We are so thankful for all of her gifts. Tonight Josh and I took her to Cracker Barrell so she could have a pancake on her actual birthday. We sang "Happy Birthday" to her many times today and each time she smiled really big at us while we sang to her. Isn't this sweet! Addison with her aunt Kim. This is 4 generations and Addison was reaching for her aunt Kim. Here she wasn't being shy anymore. This was her personal cake and she wasn't sure if she could touch it. She petted it for a while and finally she ate some after I started feeding it to her. Addison and her very loved uncle Jeff. Notice how content she is in his arms. She also loved the train her uncle Jeff got her. She loved her chair she got from her aunt Nancy. Addison and her great grandm...
