Fun Filled Day

Today we had a fun filled day with our friends! We went to the mall in the morning and went on a carousal ride, train ride and then had lunch their too! Then tonight we went to Bounces R Us and jumped our hearts out! Mommy and Auntie Kristina jumped with us and took us down the slides. We dont know who had more fun....the mommies or the kids:)

Here are some of the pictures from our fun day
We are in the yellow car. Our friends were in the green car ahead of us. Mommy and Colin going down the STEEP and FAST slide! I think they put Crisco on it:)
Kaitlyn and Colin decided that Spiderman was too big and scary to go near him!!!!
This was Kaitlyns favorite inflatable to go in. It had a slide in it too.

More ball pit fun

Dress Up Time

Auntie Jill & Aunt Shari really scored with these dress up clothes as you can tell! They crack us up everytime they dress up! We converted their toy box into a place for their dress up clothes. They can now dress and undress themselves (as you can see by Colin in the picture below) and they are getting really good at it. The picture of Colin in his diaper was done fully by himself. For some reason he likes to wear his cowboy boots in the buff:)

The more jewelry the better for Kaitlyn! Look at the size of that ring!

She loves hats and scarves too! Tinker Bell
Look at her pretty wings:)

Our Mom Rocks!

I watch my nephew Quintin one day a week, which most of you know, and I had a rough day with him the other day. He did not want to sleep when he was here. When my sister came to pick him up she kept thanking me for watching him and them sent my kids into the room with these hats on that said My Mom Rocks! It made me laugh:) So no, I did not buy these for my kids. Kel wanted to get the point across that I work hard at my job everyday staying home with the kids...I am sure every stay at home mom can understand:) The kids were being so silly this morning at breakfast while wearing their hats that I could not resist taking some pictures!

Tea Party

Kaitlyn and Colin had a tea party tonight. I love that they both play with eachothers toys. A few weeks ago on the blog I posted pictures of them fixing things with Colins tool kit. Tonight poor Colin got suckered into having a tea party with Kaitlyns tea set. I guess it goes both ways:) They had a great time and served some pretty tasty tea to Cam and I!!

Kaitlyn downed her tea like it was a shot!
Colin sipped it because he was worried it was too hot:)

Trampoline Fun!

Kaitlyn was having so much fun jumping on the trampoline that the kids got from Grandma and Papa Willis on Christmas. She seems to get more and more daring on her height with each day!
Colin loves to jump too! He had just woke up from his nap and did not feel like jumping too high he said. No wonder they go to bed by 7 pm and sleep for 12 hours straight! They jump all day and it wears them out! I would suggest one of these for all parents who want their kids to sleep through the night:)

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning....

Saturday we celebrated mine and Kellys birthdays together at my parents house. We dressed the kids up in their matching outfits and tried to take some pictures but they were acting too silly:) They are so cute together and you can tell how much these cousins love eachother!!!! Poor Quintin is so overwhelmed by how wild my kids can get though:)

Quintin thinks his cousin is nuts!
Valentines Day came early at Grandma and Papa Youngs house on Saturday night and Colin was so excited to get lots of Duplo Lego people for his Lego table!!! Here he is playing with them this morning.
He even shared them with Kaitlyn too!
Grandma and Papa Young bought Kaitlyn a Snap N Style Doll with tons of clothes too. She LOVES these dolls by Fisher Price! They are so cute because the clothes snap on and off and are so easy for her to do by herself. Here she is playing with them this morning.
Yes, Colin loves these dolls too....they say at this age its ok for boys to play with dolls right? His favorite is the snowboarding outfit so its not as if he likes to dress them up in the feminine clothes:)

Another Snow Day

2 Snow Days in Less Than One Week! This is a big one today though....14 inches possible! Kaitlyn and Colin played inside all morning. They know daddy goes to work to make money. Colin said this morning that Daddy was not going to make any money today if he did not go to work because of the snow day....aren't kids cute:)

Here are some pictures of them playing.

Kaitlyn and Colin were playing a counting and color game with daddy.

Colin was quite proud that he found the orange chip in the game!

Kaitlyn was clapping for herself that she beat her brother at the game while Colin was goofing off and putting the chip up to his eye being silly:) Boys will be boys I guess!Kaitlyn was rocking out on her guitar that Auntie KK bought her!! Colin was rocking out and jumping around so much that he jumped right out of the camera screen when I was taking the picture:)Daddy snuggled the kids with their Caillou's from their Uncle Bill and their other dolls.

Dont Kaitlyn & Colin blend in so well:)Kaitlyn will make such a sweet mommy some day! Colin will be such a good daddy too:)

Building Twin Snow Blobs

We went outside today to make snowmen with these adorable kits that Grandma Young bought Kaitlyn & Colin to make snowmen. Our snow was not the packing kind so Cam could not make snowballs so he shoveled a mound of snow for the kids. We ended up having to make "twin snow blobs" instead of twin snow men. The kids had a blast!

Mighty Casey Ride On Train

Our neighbor is letting us borrow her Mighty Casey ride on train from the 1970's from when she was growing up. We bought a battery and charger for it today and it really perked up two sick kids!!! Here are some pictures of the kids riding the train in the basement.

Again, who would know that they were sick???

The last picture is of the kids and I in our matching Nike hats that the three of us wore today:)

They Won!

Check out this website and you can see Kaitlyn and Colin's picture that won them the weekly contest at Tessy and Tab books. They will get tote bags and a 6 month subscription to their magazine! They will be so excited when we tell them in the morning that they will be getting more Tessy and Tab books in the mail!!!!

Snow Day and Sick Kiddos

You would never know that Kaitlyn and Colin are sick by these pictures. They have pretty bad coughs and runny noses. Cam is off for a snow day and we are so happy! The Superintendent called here at 5:30am and Cam was already on his way to school. So Cam quickly ran to school and then came home to use his new snow blower that he got for Christmas. He loves when it snows so he can use it! The kids have been playing around in our bed and Cam fell asleep on the couch. I guess its a lazy day in the Willis house.

Happy Friday!
