Gift Ideas for Ethan and Katelyn

I was just thinking how I couldn't believe Ethan's birthday is in 2 1/2 weeks! Soon after that we will be seeing family and I figured I'd let you know right now some possible gifts for Ethan's b-day and for Christmas for both of them.

Ethan- any type of car or truck toy, magnets, bubbles, books, socks, anything VeggieTales/Blues Clues/Dora the Explorer, blocks, stacking toys, basically any toys for 2 year olds

Katelyn- warm clothes for 6-9 months (sleepers, outfits, socks, caps), diapers

That's all, folks! : )

Some more Pics

The above (in the wrong order of course) are some better pictures of Katelyn rolling over. She certainly loves to do it now!

We went back to the Louisville Science Museum on Saturday with Tracy. They had a good time playing with the trucks! He looks so adorable in that hat and goggles!
You just gotta love that face!
Ethan is wearing Daddy's hat!

Louisville Science Museum

Look at that cutie!
The Louisville Science Museum has a kid zone that is awesome. You can see Ethan is enjoying himself.
Ethan is happy as he operates the controls of a pretend rocket ship!
Wow--I'm in a space ship!
Ethan demanded that Katelyn lay down next to him to go "night, night"!
Gotta have at least one picture of that happy face!

She's Rolling Over!

Last night, Katelyn rolled over for the first time and hasn't stopped rolling! She is so funny because she gets stuck! : )

I haven't posted in a while....

I wanted to get a picture of how cute Ethan looked in his new vest, but he got upset when I wouldn't give him the camera. This is why you'll see more pics of Katelyn at times since he always wants to take the camera!
I left to put Katelyn down for a nap and came back to this! Fortunately, it is a washable marker and came right off!

Someone is lending us this exer-saucer until their baby is born (in about 7 months). This was a wonderful blessing. As you can see, Katelyn really likes it!
I love those chunky cheeks!
Hello, rabbit friend! How are you today?
The weather is starting to get frightful, but doesn't she look delightful?

The Tale of a Pirate and a Lion

A friend invited us to go to the Louisville Zoo's Biggest Halloween Party. They set up a trail throughout the zoo with kid-friendly displays and give out candy. Some of the themes were Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland. Ethan wasn't sure what in the world was going on as we dressed him up in his pirate costume, but he soon got in to the whole event. Initially we were going to dress them both up as lions, but when we tried to put Ethan's costume on him the other day, he pitched a fit. Daddy Tracy picked out the pirate's costume and I think it was the perfect choice for Ethan! The sad news is that our camera batteries died 30 minutes in to the trail! Here's what we got until then!

What are they putting in my bag??
She's a lion, but she looks more like a ray of sunshine to me!
Ahoy, matie! Don't be bothering my ship!
I'm the cutest little pirate there ever was!
The whole outfit--thanks to Sarah! : )
Watch out, you swash bucklers! Ethan the pirate is on the loose!
This was much more difficult than anticipated! : )

Katelyn Playing!

This is Katelyn's new favorite toy. Right now she likes to bite his nose!

Isn't that the sweetest little smile?
She's karate chopping her new friend! Oh no!

We had a lovely weekend with family!
