random pictues of the kids

Just some random pictures i have taken with the kids that I thought were pretty cute. The one with both kids sleeping we got home late from playing cards with our friends and both kids were asleep by the time we got home so all I did was take tanners shorts off and we put them to bed. Well this is how I found them the next morning....Showing some love to each other.

Bath time fun

Makena was in the tub and Tanner wanted to check out what all the fun was, So he ventured in there and ended up having a great time. His sister thought it would be great to get him wet and not just a little wet he was dripping wet. They were both haveing such a great time.

My kids

Here are a few new pictures of the kids. They are growing up so fast, I got brave one day and deceided to braid Makena's head. Lots of tiny braids and a 2 1/2 year old was not the best combo but she did well and didn't wiggle to much (thank goodness for cartoons). She is talking so much and its so nice that she is able to communicate with us and tell us if she is hurt and what not. As for Tanner he is a ball of fire, is everywhere and anywhere he can get. He is still army crawling but has crawled a few times. He is start to really cruise the funiture and is very good at pulling himself up and getting back down.

Visit with Grandma and Grandpa Babcock

TJ's parents were here for a few days for vacation and we all had a great time. The boys (TJ and his Dad) went golfing most of the time and the kids and I and Grandma went to the museum and hung out.

Here is Tanner waiting while Grandma and Grandpa ran in to a store looking for post cards.

Makena playing the drum that was at the museum, She had so much fun.

Tanners blessing blanket

My mom made this blanket for Tanner for his blessing, She was not able to make it so we took a picture of Tanner being held by his little nanny (my grandma) and the blanket she made for him

Can you see a difference??

Here are Makena and Tanner shortly after they were born.

Here they are having there first baths.

Tanners Newest adventure

Well i knew it wouldn't be long, he is able to pull him self up on low objects. He has been doing this for a week or so but i was finally able to get a picture of him doing it. Now i know for sure it won't be long before he is crawling

Tubbie Fun!!

Makena wanted in the tub and Tanner was making his way there so I thought I might as well put him in. Well I wasn't in the mood to get in myself and really didn't want to bend over and hold him so I blew up his swim floaty and put him in. He had such a good time and Makena thought it was the coolest thing ever to have that in her tub.

Some summer fun

Were we are swimming at the lake again. We have had so much fun and have gone pretty much every weekend now.

Tanners 6 month appointment

Well this kid is growing like a weed. He is now 16.6 lbs and 25 3/4 inches long. He is such a chunky monkey compared to Makena, but he is such a cutie. He is army crawling everywhere and will also pull himself up on to his hands and knees and rock, It won't be long before he is crawling and then i'm in BIG trouble. I was looking at Makena's baby book and comparing the two of them, At 6 months Makena was 13 lbs 7 ozs and 25 1/2 inches. So they are really close in height but Tanner out weighes her by 3 lbs. I know this kid is going to be 20 lbs before he is even 1 and then i'm going to have to buy a new carseat for him.

Tanner

Here is Tanner with his new toy a towel. He thinks is fun when its over his face to kick his feet and wave his arms back and forth. He is so silly

Makena

Just some cute ones of Makena showing off!!!

Tanner's first bike ride

We got this bike from a friend when Makena was little, Makena had it out the other day and Tanner was intrested in it so I put him on and he did very well sitting on it. After a bit Makena wanted to ride to so she hopped on back and the two rode around the front room for a bit.

Swimming

We went swimming last weekend with some friends of ours. Makena and TJ and Tanner all got in but not me since it was only 3 days after my surgery so I took some pictures of Kena and TJ. I sat on the beach with our friend because she didn't want to get in either. We bought Makena one of those floatie things and she loved it. She learned that she could stay above water and swim. She had so much fun that we went back this last Saturday but i wasn't able to get picutres because our camera battery was dead, So we will get some next time.
