God has blessed our life so much over this year!!!!! Here's to next Halloween.....

Gooooooo Rangers!!!!!!!

Here is Chloe cheering for the Rangers!!!!!
Love you Chlo bird!!!!!

Let's Go Rangers!!!!

Owen's favorite thing to say around the house lately is, "Let's go Rangers!" Sooooooo we decided to dress the part as well. This Momma is SUPER excited because I think we have a left hander in little Owen. YAY!!!
He already has his "load" down and everything. This softball coach is SUPER proud!!!!

We are a little behind the ball, but we will get better with practice.

Dancing to "Moves like Jager"
Love love love you Owen!!!!!!

6 month old kiddos

Chloe had her 6 month old appointment today and did fantastic! She just smiles and laughs at the doctors whereas Owen cries when we pull in the parking lot until we pull out of the parking lot to go home.

Below are 2 pictures. Each kiddo is 6 month old and almost in the EXACT same position in the EXACT same spot in our house. Wow!

Chloe:

14 lbs 20%

25.5 inches tall 50%

17 inch head 80%
Owen:

18.9 lbs 75%

26 inches tall 50%

17 inch head 80%
We in the Pels household like to have really large heads, but it's okay....we are REALLY smart!!!!!

At this age...Owen just sat up and laid on his belly. Chloe sits up, crawls and almost pulls herself up. It's crazy to us how fast the 2nd kiddo reaches their milestones.

Mommy and Daddy love y'all so much!!!!!

Pictures from my phone

Life is super crazy with the kiddos lately, so most of the pictures that I take are on my phone. Below are some of the pictures...

Owen LOVES "Jake and the never land pirates" cartoon, so we had to make a sword just like Jake. He broke this one, so I made a 2nd one with duck tape and it has held together so far. Fingers crossed. :)

I asked Owen to smile for a picture wearing his Texas Rangers shirt and instead he saw the trash man picking up our trash.....SUPER funny picture!!!!

Chloe eating. She is so cute!!!!

Sitting up like a big girl!!!!! She has grown up sooooooo fast!

Owen (in the center with the white shirt on) at Music class. We go to Heights Baptist Church in Richardson on Wednesday mornings for music class and they have story time in the middle of class.

Cheering for the Cowboys. He is actually saying, "Go Cowboys" in the picture.

The kids playing....
Owen is SUPER excited Chloe is in the bathtub with him. He washes some of Chloe's bottles in the bathtub also (not sure how this got into the routine, but you do what you have to do sometimes). Chloe is also in her bumbo which I am pretty sure is not safe, but we are in survival mode in our house, especially at bedtime.
Owen wanted to be like Papa John and wear his cell phone on his belt. LOVE it!
Never a dull moment, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Love you both so much!!!!!

Big boy undies

One day a couple weeks ago, we tried out some big boy underwear while we were playing outside. Owen LOVED them and didn't want to take them off, even after he peed right through them. I then told him that he could wear his big boy undies all the time if we went potty in the toilet and he said, "no thank you." Too funny!

Around the house lately...

Owen drawing up some new defensive plays for Daddy. Chloe playing with all the toys Owen sat in front of her. Too funny!!!
