What Do You Think?

Does she look like the type to roll the toilet paper off the roll until it's empty? Yah, that was my answer too!

Here's Miss Bean pulling wipe after wipe (actually just 2) out of the wipe canister... this made me flash forward a few months and think about what's "to come"! Needless to say, I am NOT looking forward to crawling... however, I think the inevitable is VERY near!

The Lookout(s)

This is the newest thing for Ella and Evan. It's really difficult to get pictures of them actually doing it because the camera is always downstairs. I just happen to walk in their room and see them doing this so I run downstairs in hopes I'll still be able to snap a shot. They now like to pull it down with both hands-- stinkers, STINKERS!

Just As I Had Envisioned...

I knew that I saw a little glimpse into the future when I got these little figurines for my shower. Actually, the two babies were the present, but when I received two figurines of the "expecting" mommy for my birthday, I decided to find something else just as precious. When I saw the father reading, I instantly knew that it would be a perfect set with my two little babies that I already had. Greg would always read to the babies at night while I carried them, and I knew that the tradition would continue. I love how the babies are sitting up and looking right up at their daddy, just as our babies do with their daddy.

Friends, Friends, & MORE Friends!

Friday night we got together with a TON of friends! I think we had 12 adults and 8 kids in total. It was loads of fun! Three of the couples are from our old bible study and many have added children to the picture, so we don't always get to see each other on a regular basis anymore... it felt like old times (with tons of chaos!) I got a few pictures, but really, it was a little too crazy to get any group shots. Here are a few of the little munchkins though...

Little Bean showing how their toy works...
Baby Anna (we'll probably always call her that even though she's almost 16 months old!) =)

Buddy showing all the girls how tough and strong he is!

Ryder reading Tumble Bumble... a favorite in the Pryor household.

Evan and his infatuation with feet- yuck!

How Twins Are Made

I've had a couple of friends send this picture to me and I've always received a good chuckle out of it... too cute! =

7 Month Baby Models

That's just a joke! However, there is a little truth in it. Ella and Evan went in for their 7 months pictures today and The Picture People staff had asked us if it would be okay to hang their pictures up on the wall in their store. She showed me where their display would be and asked me to sign the release form. She is also sending them to corporate to have them put their pictures in other stores and on the monitors in those store (who knows if that will actually happen). So that was kind of fun! Anyway, here are a few of the shots we got today. Our scanner does a horrible job with the quality, and I didn't want to take the time to ask Greg how to sharpen the quality, so here they are. They look WAY better in person! though =)

Thought this was the funniest picture EVER!

Look close and you can see two little "toofers" on the bottom! =)

Play Time

All three of us sitting on the floor playing together...They're getting really good at grabbing things, big or small, even without wide openings to grasp on to... here's Evan and his jingle ball... And, yes, those are carrots STILL all over their faces! =)

My sweet girl didn't want to play with her toys anymore after she spotted mommy holding the camera!

Busy, busy...

Listening to mommy read a story... not the easies thing in the world... they always get excited, but want to grab the book from my hands. And as you can see they were fighting over it...

I finally had to give them each their own book so that I could finish my story... =)

Buddy and The Very Hungry Caterpillar... the perfect fit for him! =)

And Ella with Mommy Loves Me... couldn't be anymore perfect!

Pooping (or atleast trying)

Okay, so Buddy is going to hate me one day for posting this picture, but it's way too funny not to! He was hilarious! He would jump and jump, but then pause long enough to grab hold of the bar and push... two seconds later he would be back to jumping. This went on and on... haha =)

Retro Baby

Here's my little Bean modeling her retro kitty dress... isn't it so cute? I love the fabric, but I think the model makes everything look pretty cute! Check out her poses...

One Fish, Two Fish

We took Ella and Evan swimming this afternoon- they had a BLAST! Ella was a little reserved at first and actually started to cry when my mom first put her in her floaty, but after I held her for a bit and held her hands while sitting in the floaty, she became much more comfortable. On the other hand, Evan loved it right from the start. This boy thought it was the best thing in the world, kickin' and splashin' all over the place! The water felt just right too, with our temperatures well into the 100*'s! Yuck!

Here's Buddy all ready to go in... we ended up taking off his hat because he was in the shade and under the canopy.

Calm as can be...

Ella a little wary still...

A little better with mommy holding her hands...

Grandma and Grandpa took a little rest after picking veggies in the garden- WAY too hot for that!

Mommy and Ella-Bean

Mommy and Evan

Showing off her cute little bathing suit and scrumptious thighs!

Lovin' it now!

My sweet girl!

Buddy loved splashing... you can see all the water droplets on his face! =)
