Licorice is YUMMY!!!!!!!!

We gave Austin some licorice tonight and he was in heaven! He was such a mess... and then he started rubbing his eyes... He seriously looked like his face was tattooed... or like I beat him... He loves licorice!

What's going on?

Nothing to exciting is going on. But here's what we've been doing:

We took a trip to the zoo with lots of cousins. It was crazy but so much fun! Ashlynn has been in to gardening and has been trying to help my mom with her flowers (scary).

Austin started crawling and is all over the place and into everything. He is getting tubes in tomorrow and I cant wait.

They both have been loving being outside and swimming! I hate days when we cant get outside!!

One more thing, Ashlynn has been adding 'ed' to the end of everything and it sounds so funny. She pronounces it like the name Ed. She has also learned the word 'stupid' and likes to say it with everything. Great! Why do they seem to pick up those things and not other things they should??? Kids...

Anyway, as always here are a few pics..... thanks Janica for telling me about this- I love it.

(notice Ashlynn's hair- it can look cute. too bad I can't do it.)

Rain Rain Go Away!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so hard to think of things to do with kids all day when they cant go outside and play. Katie and I thought it might be fun if we let the kids paint on cookie sheets with pudding. They had a blast........



Bailee Ashlynn and Tyson making beautiful pictures.



Ashlynn was a little reserved at first but as soon as she saw Bailee and Tyson doing it she started right in.......



Bailee wanted to give herself gloves...... what a good idea



Ashlynn was a complete mess.....



I think Tyson wins the messiest though......

COUSINS!!!

the kids thought it would be fun to pretend they were babies and so they all got binkies and laid down........... Whatever keeps 'em quiet....
