Just because they're so darn cute!

As the title suggests, my kids are so darn cute!! This post is just to show some everyday moments around the house. Cara is growing. Her latest measurements are 12 lb 14 oz and 23 3/4 inches long. She is a fan of her thumb. (making her Uncle Jay proud.) She started sleeping all night at 7 weeks, and she's still kept up the habit. We can depend on her sleeping at least 8-6 every night. She's holding her head up really well, and will stand up when we hold her. She talks and smiles a lot, and that's really fun!
And here's our lovely little garden. We have a narrow strip of yard that gets enough sunlight to grow something, so this is our first year trying a small garden. Its only been in the ground for a month, and we've just started picking our first produce.

We've got lots of earthworms all over our yard, and the boys caught some...poor unlucky fellows. Clint was showing me his worm.

I thought this scene was pretty cute. Two brothers working together. The funny part is, I think they were drowning the worms in the dog's water bowl. Boys will be boys...

The boys were excited to pick our first tomatoes. They were very delicious!

Clint is such a funny little character right now. Some of his funny words are 'grips' (grits), 'yogrit' (yogurt), 'pruit woops' (fruit loops), and 'wah-wee-pop' (lollipop).
When he smells something and feels the need to announce it he tries to use the phrase 'It smells like...', but he says "I smell like..." This gets really funny when he says stuff like,"I smell like gas". His most famous phrase is, "Dat wuz me." (That was me). He loves to say this after nearly everything he says or does. So silly! We have tried potty training a few times, and he likes to go, but isn't ready to tell me when he needs to go.

Preston has matured since Cara has joined us. Sometimes he takes his big brother responsibilities very seriously. He is definitely not a typical first born, so we are excited to see him acting more mature every now and then. He's starting to show some interest in letters and writing. He can identify about half the alphabet and some numbers too. I'm just glad he's developing an interest to learn them. If he's not interested, you are wasting your time! He's also a church minded kid. He'll invite just about anybody to church, and if he sees you during the week after he did not see you on Sunday he will ask you where you were and tell you he wants to see you next Sunday. He's pretty serious about it too. So pure and innocent though. Chris and I joke that people are going to think we put him up to it.
