New favorite photos!

Since the photo shoot with the kids I have been playing more with my simple little point and shoot. I loved these photos of Joshua.

Kellina's birthday!!

We have celebrated Kellina turning three once now at grandma's house. Her actual birthday isn't till Monday, but we sure did have fun! Mom got a farm themed cake and Kellina had to eat the pig that was on it. It took a couple tries for Kellina to blow out the candle, but she did it. Most importantly she did it before another anxious kid did it for her.

After cake we jumped right into presents. This is the first year Kellina has really enjoyed opening her gifts. Turns out my mom is the best gift wrapper ever and you have to be super strong to get into the present.

I think the things that so far have provided the most fun are the balloons. Although Kellina hasn't been able to play with her gifts yet. Jeff and I are mean parents and the girls got in trouble yesterday which meant no toys. Anyways the balloons have been a ton of fun and provided some good photos. Joshua has the green, Caleb the blue, and Melia is the balloon monster.

Saturday Morning

Saturday morning and all is well. I was up at 6:30 am with Caleb and decided no better time to do the laundry then now. I was trying to be quiet because in our living room every one was sleeping. Our church camp out gave us such confidence in our camping skills we did it again. Yes it was only in the living room, but we live in Washington and weather can be tricky. Beyond that Jeff realized how much work it would be to put up the tent for one night in the back. Yes we are slackers. Anyways being quiet only lasted till Josh woke up then the girls decided they should be helping mom with breakfast. They did a great job. We had pancakes, eggs, and homemade hash browns. Yummy! Now we are headed to moms to celebrate Kellina's birthday with a BBQ. Oh yeah just FYI I did get 3 loads of laundry in by 10:30.

Mornings with the Doyles!

I thought I would share some mornings with the world. This morning seemed like a good one to start with. You may wonder what we do in this house at 7:30 am or you may care less, but I am going to share either way. Currently I am boiling cloth diapers. Yep, I said boiling cloth diapers. Boiling diapers so I don't need to spend so much on disposables. The things I will do to save a buck. I really have nothing to complain about because its not that hard. Its not something I ever thought I would do, but it makes so much sense and in the end a little hard work and funky smell will enable my boys to have the cutest buns around! Oh in case your wondering the cloth diapers were hand me downs so boiling removes any bad smell. By the way if any one out there has more hand me down cloth diapers I always could use more.
