I could spend all day .....

Taking picture of these two. I'll let you in on a secret .... most days I do :). Time is going by much too fast this second time around so I am trying to enjoy Cort's sweet babyness while it lasts. And Lily's cute toddler phase as well!



This little man smiles almost all day long. He is such a happy little guy. So sweet and full of love! He is also getting much more playful. He loves rolling around with stuffed animals and trying to grab at his toys. He is also rolling over occasionally now.

He rolled over and was happy to find some friends :)

Poor Cort. So loved!

Love this cheesey little girl!

Halloween and Sunday Best!

For Halloween we went Trick or Treating with the cousins up at my mom's house. Cortland even came along for the ride in the Baby Bjorn. He was awake for the first few houses and then slept the rest of the way.

Lily the Skunk loved Trick or Treating with Kyrie and Ally!

Johnny dressed up as a mobster. Some of the elderly ladies in the neighborhood thought he looked quite dapper :).

Last week we finally all made it back to church! We've all gotten at least one of our flu vaccinations and no ones been sick for about a month. Here's my cuties in their Sunday best :)

Lily's first professional hair cut

I've been cutting Lily's hair myself. Mainly trimming bangs and evening things up (like cutting her mullet back in Christmas '07). I finally decided it was time for a change and took her to Cookie Cutters. She loved that they had a playground INSIDE! As you can see from the picture, my little orphan definitely needed it!


Memo to self: Make sure she is in one with a seatbelt next time. She was jumping up and down a little too much - poor hair dresser!
Finished product! Although, her bangs are a little shorter so that they aren't in her eyes :). I love how it turned out!

The many faces of Cort

An early morning photo shoot with my happy little man. At 6:00 am, he is wide awake and ready to talk, giggle, and move. His cute little hands are all over the place.

Perhaps a little too early :)

It's hard being so cute.

Witches and Skunks!

I've been terrible at updating lately! I have been posting some of the activities I have been doing with Lily on my other blog, Savvy Divas and Dudes. She is such a smart little cookie that I try to do a learning activity with her every day. It's fun for me and her :)


We made it to Gardner Village for our third annual Witches Visit :). Love looking at the shops with my family.
Lily just loved being with her cousins Kyrie and Ally. They LOVE each other. "I wuv Kyrie-Ally" is a common phrase at our house.

Cortland and I also made it to Park City for the Swensen/Trost Girl's Getaway. This is the only picture I got sadly! Cortland and Ada snuggling on the MOST COMFORTABLE BED EVER! Loved it. Lots of fun shopping, girl time, and good food.

Last not not least, Lily and I went with Mom Mom to the zoo for her company party. Lily got to dress up in her skunk costume and ride the carousel. She was fascinated the entire ride.

She also loved riding the train with Mom Mom :)

Out numbered ....

Cousins!

Trying to get five children under the age of 3 to pose together without injuring each other .... priceless!

Ally, Kyrie, Lily, Cortland, and Titan


Aunt Ada painted Lily's toe nails for her. She loved it!

Tummy Time, First Bath, and Bubbles!

Tummy Time! Cortland decided he would rather push himself up and over the boppy instead.

First Bath! He looks so calm and peaceful .... which wasn't the case when he was in the bath. Poor little guy didn't like it much - except for when we washed his bath.

My two favorite men!

Lily and Johnny having fun with bubbles.
