Our little ones!

It amazes me how quickly these two kiddos are growing up! Here are a few recent pictures.

Michael showing Kaitlyn how to use a sippy cup (she just chewed on it)

Kaitlyn now LOVES to play with Samson :)

Two kids and a load of laundry!

Our daughter looks quite funny when she smiles these days since her two front teeth have not come in yet!

Like I said on my last post...getting a good picture of the two of them together is a hard task these days! I thought this one showed reality though :)

Trunk or Treat

Last weekend we had a great time at the annual Trunk or Treat at church. Costumes were easy this year...UGA football player and cheerleader :)

Daddy helping Michael get his candy...Michael loved the mini M&Ms!

Momma and Daddy with their sweet girl

Pictures are getting harder to take of the two of them together...this was the best I could get

Michael sharing his basket with Sissy

He enjoyed playing with the cones

Riding on a St. Bernard...she is a little bigger than Samson :)

St. Simon's Island

After Michael's birthday party, Ryan came back to KY and I, the kids and the MeMas went to St. Simons Island for a mini vacation. It was actually a relaxing time and a lot of fun! Here are some pictures of the trip in no particular order...

Michael using a HUGE spoon at the Gnat's Landing. He loved their cheese grits...and momma did too :)

This was the Lyons' first trip to St. Simons, so the beach was very different to us since we are used to the Gulf (Destin). Michael loved it! The tide came in at night and made little spots of water that Michael could play in each day. He loved climbing this ridge.

His shovel and bucket

Kaitlyn was not so sure about the sand

Kaitlyn and MeMa Jen

Michael enjoyed playing at this playground near the pier.

The condo had kid-sized chairs and both kids liked sitting in them

Michael's cars...he takes them everywhere!

Another picture at the park...we went every night for Michael to play

Kaitlyn had so much fun seeing herself in the mirrors on the closet doors :)

Michael getting dirty in the wet sand!

Smiling sissy

This screened in porch at the condo was a life saver! I think Michael would live outside if he could, and the porch made him feel like he was playing outside

Kaitlyn and MeMa Sue at the park.

Thanks Uncle Lance and Aunt Toni for letting us stay in the condo! We can't wait to go again next year!

Michael's birthday party

I can't believe our Michael is 2 years old!!! We had a little family party for him in GA a couple of weeks ago. He had a good time...and got a lot of new toys :)

His cupcakes...his party was a truck theme since he LOVES trucks!

Eating hamburgers and doritos...he probably had more doritos than hamburger that night

Lots of presents...our family was very gracious to him!

Time for the cake; if you don't see a flame on that candle, it's because there is not one! We could not find any matches in MeMa and PaPa's house and no one had a lighter. Ryan tried to light it on the gas grill, but it did not last...oh well.

PaPa giving Kaitlyn her first taste of icecream. She loved it of course!

Making Pudding on Gameday

This past Saturday was of course a Georgia gameday in the Lyons' home. Here is Miss Kaitlyn in her cute pink Georgia gear.

Michael made pudding before the game...stirring

Playing with utensils while waiting for pudding to set

Loving it...even though his face says he is not so sure about it

The past three mornings he has asked for pudding when he wakes up :). I do have to say it is pretty good (Jello brand cookies and cream)

A day at the Park

We enjoyed an afternoon at the park this past week.

Michael's favorite part was the tractor :)

Here is Kaitlyn drinking her bottle by herself before we left. This new development has made my life a little easier!

She also now enjoys climbing on the sofa cushions...she is growing so fast!

Our sweet children

Here are a few pictures I took of Michael and Kaitlyn one day after nap time. I was a softy that day and let Michael get in Kaitlyn's bed. I love how sweetly they play together :)
