Father's Day 2011
Poor John probably didn't have the best Father's Day ever since I had to work that night, but it started out great with our annual trip to Krispy Kreme Donuts! Even baby Kate got in the Krispy Kreme spirit!

The Girl
I wanted to add some pics of our sweet pea from the last few weeks too. I don't have as many of Kate as I do of Mark (see previous post) but she just isn't quite as active as he is! I remember visitng Bran when Lillian was two months old and Bran kept taking pictures of Lillian in her stroller to document that she was there too...well I find myself doing the same thing!
My new favorite pic ever!
She came to the splash park today too! See how into it she was?
Miss pretty. Wearing an outfit from her Mimi.
So smiley lately.
Here she is at the Tulsa Tough. Can't you tell?
Here she is at the fire station with play group!
Pretty girl. Just like Mark, she likes to "talk" while on her changing table!
We were playing around with some of her big bows!
Apparently she thought this one was aas hysterical as I did!

The Boy
Really? 20 something pictures of just Mark? Well yes actually. I guess he's starting to feel photogenic because he's gotten pretty good at smiling for the camera lately. That and he is just such a goof-ball he is always doing something that warrents the camera! So here are some pics of Mark over the last three weeks.
This is what happens to someone who is ambushed while helplessly feeding Kate.
We went to the splash park today with Omah, Opah, Josh, Lindsay, Barrett, and Gracie. Omah made us all our own sack lunch. Mark's said Alligator Man!
Mark (the cyclist?) and Barrett (the wrestler?)
Opah and beautiful "healthy" Gracie. =)
Omah and Mark
Yes, its June.
Taking care of his sister!
Maggie, paralyzed with fear because of the thunder, is trapped under Mark's "tent'
Mr. Determined! Mark loves to race his bike just like Daddy. Poor guy never wins cause he's so small - but he doesn't even notice. This is the 6 and under race at the Tulsa Tough.
You see why he has no chance to win? His wheels are so small and he only has one gear! I think he's thinking, "oh- so thats what training wheels are!"

Buddies. Leyton and Mark.
Mark and Opah cheering for Daddy. (see his hyperextended elbow? Weird!)
Opah, Mark, PJ, and Leyton
After the Friday night Tulsa Tough races! He fell asleep on the way home and I sat him (upright) on the green pillows so I could get Kate out of her car seat and this is what happened! One tired little boy....
Mark's play group took a trip to a local fire station. Mark wouldn't get in the fire truck because he was afraid it would take off while he was in it. But he loved spraying the big water hose!
Lovin' on Miss KK!
I walked in Kate's room (where she was supposed to be sleeping) and this was my view!
We went to a Driller's game a few weeks ago. Mark's not spoiled or anything. He ONLY got a bat, fan hand, and stuffed Hornsby doll!
I wanted to capture him in his hooded towel on camera before he got too big for a little boy towel. I love this stage of his life. Well, sometimes.
We went to the Jenks riverwalk and Mark got a Spiderman balloon hat!

Miss Kate is 8 weeks old!
Where to start? Right now Kate is lying on her activity mat, hiccuping, and batting at a rattle hanging down. She is content a lot of the time. She LOVES to lay on her changing pad and smile and coo. That is where we have most of our "conversations." Yesterday we hung a swing up out on the patio and she seemed to like that too. She definitely does not like her swing inside or the vibrating seat. She typically smiles when Mark gives her kisses. John can usually get her to sleep better than I can. She does not suck her thumb and occasionally takes a paci. She is not by any means a difficult baby, but I really think Mark was easier as a baby. Kate's eyes seem to have gotten bluer, in fact I think they are probably gonna stay blue. What else to say about our little princess? Oh! Bathtime. She loves the bath. But taking her out? Well don't you know thats the end of the world? It must be like being born all over again based on the way she cries as if you just broke her femur! DRAMA. She cries until she just passes out! (Of course, last night she actually did a lot better and only let out a few little protests!)
Here is a pic John made me take of "the Wingerter hair pattern." He makes me so mad- he's been calling her "Friar Kate" because of her hair! Poor baby!
So I bought a couple of these litttle crocheted hats before she was born. They are still too big but I just love them! They are kinda hysterical and cute all in one! She'll probably kill me when she's older for ever putting one on her head!
Here is the actual sun bonnet that goes with this dress, also way to big right now. But isn't that such a cute picture?
On a side note, we have a silver "W" on our entertainment center. I'm not gonna name any names, but someone in our house thinks it looks better as an "M"!
My two goofballs. Delaying bedtime by putting pull-ups on their heads!
Funny story. A couple weeks ago I decided to try another discipline strategy with Mark. I told him that every time he didn't obey that I would take a toy away. Well we were having an issue with brushing his teeth one night and I had taken three toys away already when I found the below picture. He had already yelled that I couldn't take his blankie away. Well the below picture is the drawer where we keep all of his blankies and he has "locked" it. See he has these silly band bracelets and awhile back he put one on his kitchen cabinet so baby Kate couldn't get into his dishes (this was before she was even born). So funny. He just basically told me I could take every single toy away that he has and it wouldn't make him listen any better - just don't take his blankie. So now being the horribly mean mommie that I am, I don't waste time taking away toys, I just take blankie. Hee...hee.
Isn't she getting bigger?
This is a daily occurence!
Her pretty new name letters!
Gotta document the crazy stuff I dress her in! The skirt/tights/shoes are a hand-me-down from cousin Gracie. So cute! And I love her red flower bow!
Trying to do tummy time. Just wears her out!
I like this one because Kate is smiling even though she is about to fall on her face and because I can tell Rocky wants to get up so bad but he knows to be still. Don't worry I caught her!

Had a similar picture of Mark and Rocky so I had to pose this one. Rocky is so patient although he looks totally annoyed in this picture!

Museum Field Trip
So Mark and I (and Kate) took a field trip on Friday with Mark's play group to the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum in Seminole, Ok. Apparently it is about one million times better than the Kaleidascope museum here in Tulsa. Well it was really cool. I would say it is best for kids 3 and older. There were a lot of things Mark didn't understand but so much hands-on stuff that he loved it! Here are some pics (it will make you want to go!)
Mark and Jake in the giant bubble!
Jake with some antifreeze (or something) and Mark witht the air-compressor (or something). See how much I know about cars?
This room was definitely a hit with the boys!
Another boy room: construction! There was also a magnetic table in this room with nuts and bolts to make creations with, there were different sizes and shapes of PVC pipes to build with, and giant blocks to build with and even put on a pully system so they could see how to move heavy objects. Pretty cool.
The dinosaur excavation room!
Look at the dinosaur he discovered! (This room/sand was also a hit with the boys!)
My favorite room: the crazy mirrors!!!
There is a huge medical section from an ER, to OR, to ambulance, to pediatric hospital ward. Too cool!
Can't forget the giant lite brite!
Mark, still in his doctor's coat, on the bike! As you pedal the skeleton pedals!
See? Miss Beautiful was there too!
Jake and Mark driving the ambulance!
The ambulance is stuck in the wall - too cool! There was an airplane/cockpit done the same way.
Mark and Lily driving the fire truck!
Lily, the cashier at the grocery store!
Mark, the shopper
