classmates

This was taken by Brandon's teacher Ms. Jennifer at Montesorri. They got a new couch for the classroom. This is Amia, he can say her name!

spring is here!

Starting Wednesday, the weather has been so nice reaching 90 Friday! We've spent hours and hours in the yard, with the sprinklers, water table, and a kiddie pool. My kids are real fishes and outdoor kids!  I couldn't get them to come inside for 5 minutes! We startedpotty training today too, since its so hot, we brought the potty outside. So far 2 poops in the potty and 3 pees in the kiddie pool (i dumped the water each time he did it!) He was basically naked all day...

Check this out!! 10 months 1 day old

Baby Karly is 10 months old!

That's right, she's 10 months old! She is signing and kinda saying "mama"she Loves to clap to "Happy and You Know it" song, and loves the "wheels on the bus" song. She is eating everything, its so easy to feed her! She adores her big brother and follows him everywhere, the two of them play well together 95% of the time.

New Shoes

These are Brandon's new shoes! He picked them out all by himself too! Absolutely no parent influence! You see, Brandon has been very picky about his last 2 pair of shoes, when I tried to get him new shoes he would kick and scream and refuse to wear them. I finally hunted down the exact same pair he had before. So when we realized his shoes were too small, we decided to first try a different shoe store where you can pick the shoe size off the shelf without waiting for a sales person. He immediately picked these and was admiring himself in the mirror, signing and saying SHOE. He was laughing pointing at them then signed "walk" meaning lets go for a hike! We left the shoe store with a happy kid and very relieved parents!

No fear baby

Don't doubt Karly. She will do anything her brother does. She has no problem climbing up onto the table to play with him. She doesn't back down when he tries to block her from getting near his toys, she reaches for his food. It's crazy, I see lots of fights in my near future! But they're so great together too!! They adore eachother hugs and kisses laughing singing together in the car holding hands..

Last of Easter pictures

Truthfully, I disapointed myself I didn't get many pictures on easter. Karly had a cute outfit on, and not one turned out! :(

we hosted easter, and since it was a beautiful day, we cleaned up the backyard and bbq kabobs. Brandon loved using the blower! He made sure every leaf/dirt was off the ground!

Brandon and Papa

Grandpa AKA Papa was saying good bye to Brandon and Brandon took his hat and sunglasses and proudly wore them!

Spring pictures

I tired to take the kids out for pictures together for the "Spring" but of course I couldn't get them together Brandon was off exploring and never facing me for any shots!

just cause its cute

It rained hard on Saturday, we were stuck inside all day. On several occasions the kids were looking outside at the rain. It's pretty cute seeing them side by side.

A blog not about the kids!

After 4 years of "probation" I'm officially Tenured!

Karly Carolyn Conde at 9 months

A little late, but Karly is 9 months old! She had her well visit and weighs 22 pounds! (one pound less than Brandon at this age) She is crawling all over the place, absoluetly adores Brandon. She can wave, say hi, and clap her hands. She is eating EVERYTHING! Completely the opposite of her brother! She has 6 teeth! She's holding your hand and trying to walk... my bet is by 10.5 months she'll be walking.
