Summer Update!

Summer has flown by in our house! We have been busy enjoying the beautiful outdoor weather (I mean we live in Hawaii afterall...).




In July, I finally got the hang of going to the beach/pool solo with the two kids; we have been fully taking advantage of both! Harps has been taking swim lessons once a week and I have seen some crazy improvement! Needless to say she is rather fearless. Her trike riding skills are improving (I adore the photo above because you see her prized elephant resting on the back- too cute). She has also become princess obsessed and loves to sing "let it go!". She has continued ballet and just started tap too.

Liam has mastered rolling and sucking his thumb! He continues to be our fat boy topping the scales in the 90th percent tile. I absolutely adore his snuggles- nothing sweeter than a chubby baby boy. His temperament is very happy and wild- he is always moving, wiggling, etc. We like to raise them active in this house! Ha.

and.... just a couple out takes (since most photos with these two are outtakes after all!).

(Harps wanted to hold him... fail! 
but I think this picture perfectly illustrates their sizes (4 month and almost 3!)


Happy Wednesday!

Happy Birthday Harp-Mermaid Edition!

Hello (far and few!) Blogger Friends!

It is true- I am a HUGE slacker in the blog world- emphasis on slacker.... Oh well! Life is busy chasing two little ones.

This weekend we celebrated Harp's 3rd Birthday (a couple weeks early!) with a mermaid. Since we live in Hawaii I thought it seemed like a fitting theme and Harps has recently become obsessed with all princesses, Aerial is no exception. It was super easy to plan- and the mermaid was the perfect entertainment. Harps was so into the whole thing- best age ever. Be prepared for tons of pictures!


 (isn't this costume unbelievable!)

 (I kept the food a bit simpler this year- Sandwiches, Clam Cookies, Seaweed Grapes, "Wave" Chips, Cupcakes, Goldfish, etc). 

  (We had about 15 kiddos and that seemed like the perfect number!)

 



 (Since 2-3-4 seems to be a pretty active age, I always have side activities. This year we did coloring and "Create your own Mermaid/Merman Crown!). 



(and the most hilarious picture- Will had to wheel in and out the mermaid.... and we almost had a bit of a tip over.... too much!)

Happy Happy (early!) Birthday Sweet Harper Girl! Although 3 seems too old, we can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays with you! We feel so blessed to be your mommy and daddy. You are the perfect little girl for our family.

Thankful Tuesday

I am so thankful for these sweet babies... (I actually call them tons of different nicknames... like come on my sweet bunnies and Harps always yells back at me "My Name is Harper Caffery not Bunny!).

  
(lots of sister love... i promise she was just hugging not covering his mouth)

June?!

Happy June! That means it is officially summer... (although that is not saying much in Hawaii!) and Liam is almost two months old! Crazy how quickly time is flying!!!!!

We are busy this summer with Dance Class, Music Class, Summer Reading Club, and tons of Pool/Beach Time! I love that some of our regular activities have slowed down for the summer so we can truly just hanging out! Since Will has been gone for over a month, I can officially say that I have adjusted to life with two and am loving it (although we do have our crazy moments). I am also loving that Liam is only waking up once a night. After months of no sleep- it is amazing!

H has quite a few goals for the summer-
1. Mastering her tricyle
2. Going on a date with Daddy
3. Going Bowling (random)
4. Going to the movies
5. Playing outside everyday!
6. Get an Elsa Costume 

Liam does too...
1. Mastering rolling over
2. Continuing to be a big sweet boy (at 13 lbs!)
3. Trying to only go through 2 outfits a day (instead of our normal 3)
4. Meeting Gigi and Bobo



Yes H is "flying" a big Chinook on the Sidewalk



Happy June 1st!
