When the husbands are away...

...the wives will play.

This past weekend the guys took their annual trip which means that the wives get together with the kiddos to hang out. In the past few years the wives outings have changed drastically. They went from hanging out at the pool, staying up as late as we wanted watching movies and eating junk food to changing diapers and crowd control. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Each year a new little one is added to the mix and each year it gets better and better.


This is one of my favorite pictures! They do not look like they are toddlers. They are so grown up looking.

I am blown away at how well the two of them play together. When we walked into the door Fletcher was in his high chair and yelled "Kaylie" before he even saw her. I know they have to grow up but they need to slow down just a little. I remember when we thought a raspberry was cute.
Another one of my favorite pictures. My baby girl is no longer a baby!

They decided the bathroom was the "in" place to play. Kaylie brought her chair in and sat down with a book while Fletch read his book in the corner.

We did not see the need to take to cars around town so we put them both in Jolie's car and went to the Dallas World Aquarium. If you notice Kaylie is still not facing forward. It should be an incentive for her to hit 20 lbs.

The Aquarium was fun but disappointing. It is incredibly cramped and is not designed well for strollers. You end up having to wait in line to see anything and when you finally get your turn you have to cram into this small space just to be pushed out be others trying to see. If we go back it will not be for many, many years.

I know she doesn't look it but she was really happy during this picture. We are standing in front of a waterfall and I do not think she was too excited about having drops of water fall on her head.
Andrew, Fletcher, and Kaylie

After nap time we went outside to play. I love this picture. Kaylie dropped her paci and Fletch picked it up for her and put it in her mouth. She was shocked when she realized she now had a mouth full of sand.
