First things first- Jaxon helping me clean out the van
We went to the Children's Museum and decided to check out a new park. Kaelyn loves the playing with the babies.
I love our cuddle time but it usually doesn't last very long with 2 very active children.
Jaxon loves to sleep with his entire body under the sheet. He says its to keep the monsters away. Kaelyn loves to sleep with her babies, one in each hand.
We had fun at a friend's superhero birthday party. All the kids got superhero capes and masks. Jaxon and Kaelyn love to wear them around the house.
We are enjoying the cooler temperatures. I treated the kids to a special lunch at Chick Fil A and Jaxon got a haircut to get ready for preschool. He's still not so sure about it. He said he wants to stay home and play with his toys. The teacher came by for a home visit, we had open house at the school, and a meet and greet at a park. Then we had promotion Sunday at church and one night we had open house for church so the kids could see their new classrooms. So I'm sure it really confused him.
We went to an end of the summer get together at the YMCA. The kids love the splash pad there.
Playing and having a picnic at Jaxon's favorite park
Thomas and Percy play area at the mall
The Children's Museum gets a new police car and Jaxon is so excited and wants to help with the unveiling.
Our church had a family fun weekend over Labor Day. Free food, entertainment, childcare while Brian and I went to a parenting seminar, and a service day at Brian's school. Jaxon was a big help and I just chased Kaelyn around.
On Labor Day we decided to go hiking at Hanging Rock. We ended up running into some friends that joined us for our hike and picnic. The kids loved it.
23 weeks
Jaxon's first day of preschool. I had to bribe him with a lollipop so I could take a picture. He wasn't so sure of going to school. He wanted me to stay with him. I had to sneak out when he wasn't looking and he had a great day.
Jaxon is doing Awana at our church for the first time this year. He's so proud of his bag and vest that he gets to wear. He memorizes bible verses and earns patches for his vest. It makes for a long day with preschool, but its worth it.
We decided to make a quick weekend trip to see my sister, her husband, and kids for my nieces birthday. We had a fun time with my family, but it was too short. Jaxon had his first sleepover and shared a room with his cousin, Maddie Grace. They did pretty good. The kids enjoyed playing with their cousins.
Kaelyn loves picking and eating tomatoes out of daddy's garden.
Kaelyn misses her brother while he is at preschool, but we find fun stuff to do to keep us busy. She loves to read books and put puzzles together. She loves her babies and loves to play with carseats and strollers.

new words- truck, mine, no, out, hi, walk, wash
She's very friendly and likes to wave and say hi to everyone
When we have to drop her off at her class at church she usually has no trouble telling me bye and blowing me a kiss
She loves to stand up on the stool in the bathroom to wash her hands

Its been fun to watch them discover new things and grow up, but its happening so fast.
