Reward Day!!!

We have been SO proud of Kaitlyn and Colin that they are potty trained and doing so well!! We took them for a special reward to Chuck E Cheese today since Cam was off. They ask you at the door if its a special day and because we said that it was and told them why we came K & C got special stickers to wear and some free tokens! There were barely any people there so it was nice. Here they are watching for the Chuck E Cheese show to start. Mommy and Kaitlyn....notice Kaitlyn was watching out of the corner of her eye for Chuck E Cheese...she loves to go there but is terrified of him when he comes out and walks around:)
Climbing up high!
They loved the tunnels!!
Colin and Bob the Builder
Kaitlyn and Barney
Of course we used our tickets to pick out a toy or two. Kaitlyn picked out a ring and two pink hair extensions. Cam thought it would be funny to wear Kaitlyn's pink hair extensions on the way home. The kids thought he was hilarious:) We had a great time and love that we are saving money everyday that they wear underwear and not diapers!!!!

Weekend Fun!

Saturday night we had our old neighbors from the condo over for our annual BBQ. We had a lot of fun and it was great to see everyone and catch up over some drinks and yummy food! Here are Kaitlyn and Colin waiting for everyone to arrive. Kaitlyn and Colin were thrilled to have Jayla and Dylan to play with. They were such great helpers all night and the 4 kids played so well together. Here they are enjoying some dinner.
Some of the group hanging out in the backyard....we had a great time and the men had some serious bag competitions!

We bought a new computer and Kaitlyn and Colin were so excited to get the old one today.
Daddy set it up on their table in the basement and he showed them how to paint and draw pictures on it.
They love that it says "Kaitlyn and Colin's Computer":) Tomorrow Daddy is off and we are going to Chuck E Cheese for a reward because they are doing so well wearing undies and also to the library to check out some books and computer games. Should be a fun day!!!!
Smiling while sporting our matching pink and blue Polo shirts from Auntie Jill and Uncle Craig.

The "Digger"

Colin was SO excited when we pulled up to Grandma and Papa Young's new house thats being built and he saw this! He loves "diggers"! We let the kids sit on the tires and they thought it was pretty neat. Here's a picture that Grandma took.

Who Bought These???

I wonder who bought us these shirts?? :)

Colin's New Do

Colin got a "summer" haircut today. He was so excited to use Daddy's hair gel and spike the front of his hair! He looks so big in this picture.....I keep telling the kiddos to stop growing!! Its hard to believe at 2 1/2 we are done with diapers except for when they sleep and before we know it they will be going to school:) Big hugs for my sister!!

Visiting Grandma and Papa Willis

We went to visit Grandma and Papa Willis at their farm this weekend! We love visiting them and wish they lived closer so we could see them more often! We also went to see our new cousin Isaac. He was born on July 3rd. Here we are with Grandma:) The 3 amigos being silly wearing their sunglasses. Our cousin Everett is now a big brother!
Here is little Ike! He is so cute and so small:)
We cooked a lot with Grandma...we made fruit salad, jello and muffins...yum!
Having fun at the Children's Museum.
We went to visit our Great Grandma Boots. She was reading the 3 amigos a book.
Uncle Chad is so much fun....at Great Grandma Boots house he was giving us rides...giddy up!
We love seeing the cows at the farm!!

Swim Party

Yesterday we went to our Aunt Shari and Uncle Jim's house to swim. We had so much fun!!! We wouldn't go in a big pool last summer because we were afraid. Mommy and Daddy were so proud of us that we were not afraid and we swam like 2 little fish! Here is Kaitlyn with Papa before going out to swim. Colin and Daddy waiting to go swim too.

Happy 4th of July!!

Hope everyone had a nice 4th of July. We had a great time and have SO many pictures to share from the past two days:) We spent them with Madi, Makenna, Auntie Kristina and Uncle Brandon. Here is Colin, our All American Boy, waving his flag before we went to the Barrington parade.Our All American Cutie
Enjoying the parade and pancakes in our front row seats!
Waving our flags
Then we went to the Harvey's for a BBQ that afternoon. Of course we had to change from our parade t-shirts into our other 4th of July gear:)
We barely walked through their front door and we changed into our swim suits and were in pool with Madi....too busy to turn around and smile for mommy.
Daddy being silly and shaking the igloo when the kiddos were inside of it!

After swimming and eating we took baths and were being super silly!

They guys were throwing us up into the air!
Super high!
Today we babysat Madi and Makenna so their mommy and daddy could go out for dinner for their 5th wedding anniversary. Our cousins Nicole and Danielle came over too. We had a picnic dinner outside before we all went to the park.

The 3 amigos going down the slide.
What would the holiday weekend be without fireworks? We went and watched them from the car tonight!
Happy 4th of July!!!
