Clay Impressions

When Kailyn was a little over 1, we got her hand impressions done. We loved how it turned out, and have it up in our house still to this day. It's fun to have her compare it to the size of her hand now. So I of course wanted to do the same for Colton. We have a local ceramic/pottery painting studio here that does clay impressions. I organize a local moms group, so I set up a private appointment at the studio and a group of us took our kiddos to get hand impressions done. It was a lot of fun and the kids did so well. Now the moms get to have fun when we go back in a few days for a moms night out to paint the impressions. I highly recommend doing this for your kids. It's a great way  to "freeze" a memory of them being so little. They make great Granparent gifts as well!!Here are a few pics of Kailyn and Colton getting their hands done.

The Quad

Both kids LOVE going to Nana and Kappa's house. There is so much to do, see, play with, explore, and climb on. Up until now, we used their golf cart to take the kids around the property. This has to be one of their favorite things to do. Colton catches a glimpse of the cart and he is running over there patting the seat waiting for me to take him on a ride. Kappa recently got his quad fixed and it was sitting in front of the house when we went over there last weekend. Colton has not ever really seen or had a chance to play on it. He of course took every opportunity to check it out. Ryan even climbed on with him and started it up. Colton wasn't sure what to make of the noise, but it didn't bother him too much because he did not want to get off.

As soon as I took Colton's picture I remembered we had a picture so similar of Kailyn sitting on the quad at the same age. It made me smile looking at the two pictures, knowing that they are sharing these same memories even though they are 5 years apart. It's funny how much they both LOVED the quad. Daddy and Kappa are proud. Ryan can't wait to take Colton on his first ride. Here is a picture of both Colton and Kailyn on the quad. I am definitely getting these ones framed!
