A day in the life of the kids

Time keeps going by so quickly.  I want to remember this time with my kids so I have been taking pictures of the day to day things this week.  Caitlyn and Jonah spend a lot of time in the backyard.  They can be entertained for hours back there.  They play on the swing set, ride bikes and play make-believe.  Wyatt likes to watch them from the window. 

Jonah loves to swing.  He usually goes out and swings for a while after we drop Caitlyn off at school.  Lately he has been singing while he sings.  It is so cute.  I love to hear my kids belting out Rascal Flatts songs in the back yard.

Cailtyn loves to jump off the swing.  I love how pictures make things look a lot more dangerous than they really are.

Wyatt enjoys the swing set too. 

He had a lot of fun swinging with the kids the other night.

I just love that sweet face!

We have a few boys Jonah's age close by and Jonah loves to be outside playing with them.  A few nights ago they were running around playing guns and riding bikes.  It was fun to watch him having so much fun.

The kids were really excited when the next door neighbors dog had puppies.  Jonah had fun holding them.  Caitlyn even pet them, which if you know Caitlyn, you know that is a huge deal! The kids keep asking if we can buy one of the puppies.  I have to admit that I considered it for a split second while I was holding one of them.

Jonah was thrilled to have his big cousins come watch his soccer game a couple of weeks ago. He really looks up to these guys and loves the attention they give him.  We spend a lot of time playing with cousins.

Caitlyn spends a lot of time playing with and trying to mother Wyatt.  She is always talking to him and trying to take him from room to room.  She asked me the other day if I would be okay with Wyatt while she was gone.  She is a funny girl.  I thought they were so sweet watching a movie together on the couch.

Jonah loves to give Wyatt attention too.  He loves to crawl next to him on the floor because Wyatt always laughs and tries to keep up with Jonah.

Wyatt seems to find trouble everywhere lately.  He is constantly trying to climb and grab anything that he shouldn't have. 

His favorite is paper.  We have to keep everything up high so he can't get to it.  I forgot how hard this stage is.  I'm pretty sure he is finding more trouble than the other kids did.

When we are inside we spend of lot of time reading books with Mom and wrestling with Dad.  The kids also love to play hide and seek.  They just discovered that the pantry is a great hiding place.  Caitlyn is always wanting to make up stories, draw pictures or create her own games.  Jonah likes to play basketball in his room, play the wii, look at books, build with blocks or do somersaults around the great room (his record is 60 in a row).
