Water Table

They have so much fun with this water table!  It's fun that lasts at least half an hour.  That's how long it takes them to take all the water out and dump it somewhere else.  Abby wasn't too thrilled with getting wet by Caden (second picture down), but she soon got over that.

Fresh Air

We are really enjoying this spring weather we've been having. Good news, Abigail is no longer completely annoyed by grass!

Fixing the mower, getting it ready for summer.

I of course tried to get a nice picture of the two of them. Abby is getting pretty good at saying "cheese" and giving me a nice smile, but of course when I asked Caden for a smile, I got a frown (see top picture).

big "cheese" little frown

Caden put on a concert with a song and dance with his mower.

Can you guess what Abby is saying here? She just got done giving Caden a little push, and now she's telling him where to go!

Abigail and Grass

Here's what Abby thinks of grass:

When I first put her down, she surprisingly didn't seem to mind.

Then one knee popped up off the ground.

Finally both knees were up...and that's how she stayed. She lets out this little squeaky fuss until you come to pick her up.

At this age, you don't mind a picture from this angle.

Sprinkler Fun

He didn't enjoy himself when we tried this last year...but he LOVES it now!

Swinging

Abby had a great time in her swing for the first time. Caden was a different story when he was her age.

She wasn't too sure of the grass at first...

but then she just took off!

Here's a little video of Abby and Caden enjoying the swings.

Our Girl

Here are just a few (yeah right) pictures of our beautiful almost 1-year-old baby girl. Like my mom said, what did we do before when there were only 24 pictures on a roll of film?

Tee Ball

On yet another spring-like day, Caden and Daddy went out to try his new tee ball from Uncle Brooks. He had a great time!

Gotta love that stance!

Oops!

Then they fed the Rose of Sharon bushes my mom gave us last year. He's such a big helper.
