All Crammed Into One!

Since I'm behind on blogging, I'm throwing all these pictures into one post! Trying to time-save and multi-task! ;)

Home Depot drivers training course....

At the library play area after we disrupted story time....

Family Fun Day Festival...

A giant cat greets us as we're getting out of our car and visits us at the park... Rolling down a hill....

Jake gets creative....and gets on my last nerve....all in the same day!

First Time On Rollerskates!

Our play group went to a skating rink for Tiny Tots Skate Lessons! I went to the same skating rink as a child and even had one of my birthday parties there! heehee! I expected lots of falls and crying but Zack and Jake did GREAT!!! Zack took off immediately and never looked back. Jake needed more assistance but got the hang of it towards the end. Only one mishap. Jake fell forward and hit his eye on the toe of his boot. He ended up with a small cut on his lid and a clump of lashes pulled out, but if you ask him if he's OK he brushes himself off and says, "Yeah! I'm fine!" (video at the end!) I can't wait to take them back and see if they pick up right where they left off! They really enjoyed themselves and talk about rollerskating pretty much everyday now. I love sharing their excitement and their firsts! :)

Zack And Jake Meet Susie!

A long time friend of the family came to visit and Zack and Jake got to meet her for the first time! I met Susie when I was 4 years old so not much older than the boys are now. She moved away shortly before I got pregnant so it was fun that she came back into town and gave me a call! We met at a park and the weather was beautiful. The boys and Brian played while we caught up a little. It's always nice to have lifetime friends.

Jake was really interested in Susie's motorized chair. I remember Susie giving me rides in her chair while I sat on her lap when I was little. :)

Nice windblown hair but it was the only picture that we took together so I have to post it! *L*

Thanks for the visit! Hope to see you again soon!

Chalk!

Here are some pictures of my budding artists! They love to color! Jake uses the two handed approach.

I still can't decide if he's going to left or right handed. I'm leaning towards left on him since generally he holds things in his left hand. Knowing him, he'll prove me wrong though. ;)
I'm pretty positive Zack will be right handed. He's always favored his right."Blllluuuuuue hands Momma!!" He's probably worried about the cleanup.....just like Mommy. *L*

FINALLY!!!

So....3 months after the fact I'm finally getting around to posting pictures from when my sister visited from Washington with her children and husband. Since I had too many pictures to load on my blog I loaded them to photobucket to do a slide show but every time I tried to work on it the site would crash or the pictures would all be sideways. After many irritating attempts I think I finally got the kinks worked out! PHEW! Sorry it took so long Brun!

And here are videos from their visit.
Please be warned that there's a lot of "Good Job!" from me in all the videos.
It's an illness.....*L*

Frontwards!
