William and Olya love love love each other and play and play til the sun goes down... and then some! Its so nice to have kids around Olya's age that actually want to play with her, she is just in heaven with William and Anna here! ... can you tell? =)

Robyn was kind enough to take the little ones out for a tractor ride after swimming at Aunt Renae's, they had a great time!

The Tea Party 2009

Here is the annual tea party hapeneing. The ladies had a great time, sipping tea and eating finger smmies and teeny little cookies and goodies.

Mommy & Daddy Time

Here we are, just enjoying our sweet baby. love love love..

Big Boy!

Landen turned 5 months old last Monday. With this month, came some pretty big milestones! First, he has been getting me up sometimes twice in the night (again, and not since he was 7 weeks old) to eat for the last 4 weeks so I decided to start cereal. He loved it, so much that I started giving it to him twice a day this last weekend. He has suddenly started sleeping through the night again - AND IN HIS CRIB!! No more car seat sleeping! I LOVE IT! He is now sleeping 8-10 hours a night in his crib and the earliest he has gotten me up is 7 30. Lets just all hope and pray this continues! Also, his 2 bottom front teeth have popped up today, through the skin! Biting during nursing has been hurting a bit more lately, now I know why!Landen's first cereal

Everybody Loves Landen

Kisses from big sister Olya! You can tell, he's thrilled.Landen and Daddy!

I love this look before they get teeth, he looks like such a little old man!

Summer Days are Here Again

It is finally summer up here! It was 70 during the day and 40 at night jsut last week! This week, it is finally in the 80's and is to be in the 90's the rest of this week! Here is Olya enjoying running in the sprinkler! Yes, she had her clothes on and decided to take off her shirt that girl loves to be naked!

Daddy's Girl

Olya loves daddy to brush her hair before bedtime, I love that they love this.

Landen Thinks He is Jewish.

Here is the grown in hair do Landen is sporting lately. I just didn't want to forget it someday, so had to capture it! Cracks me up.

All Tired Out!

Olya actaully fell asleep like this, we had to carry her to the car, get her in her PJ's and she didnt wake up til the morning. Signs of a great summer day!

Fishin'

Olya wanted to go fishing with daddy last weekend at NanaPapa's. Her and Caleb fished for probably an hour and although they didn't catch anything, she had a great time. She isn't scared of worms - or falling in, which made us all nervous, but she had lots of fun and we enjoyed watching her!

Landen, looking super cute in his fishing hat! He didn't catch anything though...

Sweet, Sassy & Spunky

Here is Olya being sweet, with Daddy. A couple of weekends ago, we were taking pics of Olya at NanaPapa's and Olya found a toad! She was so excited and once she got over the initial surprise, she carried that thing all over the yard, showing everyone!

More sweet.

Here's the Olya we all know and love, her sassy side!

Happy Boy!

Here is some happy, happy pics of Landen. He has the cuttest open mouth smile!He totally posed for this right when I shot this picture, I LOVE my model-esque babies!

He LOVES going for walks

Emily and Landen

Here is Emily with Landen. He just absolutely adores her. The first night she got here, she started kissing his lips and he was just laughing away. I have never seen him laugh and giggle like that while being kissed!

Emiliy's Visit!

We always have so much fun with Emily. She pretty much does whatever Olya wants her to do (within reason) and gives so much love wherever she can. She came up Last week to visit and here are some shots from it. She brought everyone presents! Caleb got some Goetta for his birthday, I got some super cute star earings, Landen got his very own ugly doll and Olya got (the most of course) funny glasses, some very seious sunglasses, glow in the dark stars for her room and glow in the dark nail polish! She sure does spoil us. It was such a treat to see her and we get to see her again in August up North!Here are the funny glasses and the very seious sunglasses!

Pedicure time!

Play time outside

Matching hoodies. (And you cant tell here, but they both have rolled up jeans on too.)
