Blueberry Picking

These blueberries were so good! Once we showed Zachie how to pick them he could not be stopped. I'm sure he ate some green ones too but he was having so much fun. He was enjoying himself so much he didn't mind if we were out of sight. He was happy to sit and eat blueberries where ever he pleased. I love this kid!

The Three Amigos

These guys are so funny together. I love when they see each other for the first time that day and they are just so excited, they have to show each other everything. They are all learning to share with one another, and some days they do a great job and others they just can't stand someone else touching their toys.

Zachie can now say Anna. He will wake up some mornings and run to the front door and start yelling Anna Anna Anna!! When we ask him where she is he lifts up his hands in the I don't know shrug. Nicole has this amazing double stroller. We had Anna and Zachie in it two different times one day. Zachie fell asleep both times with his head on Anna's shoulder. Anna didn't like it so much the first time but the second time she went to sleep too.

Miss Avrie being cute as can be!

A Sunny Day

This was such a warm day, but really beautiful. We got to play in the Buhler's backyard. They have sucha fun yard, with an amazing garden. You can see from the pictures Zachie decided to help water. Which really means that he wanted to play in the water.

The Blue Sippy Cup

This blue sippy cup has been a treasure to these babies for quite some time. They both love it! This is one day with the cup. It always makes me laugh but I was there when it really happened so that might be why I find these videos funny. It is always a good idea to add your own commentary when watching a baby video. Jesse would love it if I could add his commentary but then you would know how crazy we really are!

  

Baby Days

Oh the fun we have when friends come over! We get to watch Anna a few times a week and always have so much fun. I love that the babies entertain eachother and I can just watch all the silly things they end up doing. They seem to teach eachother both of their own little quirks and they also get a little more adventurous when they are together. They also like to tease eachother with toys and food. I think one of the cutest things is when they feed eachother, I also end up being fed by one or both of them (which definietly is not cute but fun none the less).

They really like coloring. Now that they realized where I keep the crayons they try and pull out the box. They have very different coloring methods. Zachie likes to concentrate on his coloring and attack any pre existing picture. Anna like to pick up a crayon and then toss it behind her like it means nothing to her. When she does find the one she wants, she makes tiny squiggles on the paper.

Of course, books are the main event every day. I love watching them read. Anna likes to read out loud and Zachie likes to be silent. Zachie is our little bookworm. We read almost all of his books three or four times a day. He is pickie sometimes too. He will go through his bookshelf pulling out books and putting them back until he finds the one he was looking for, which is most likely his ABC book or his nursery rhyme book.

We also like to have lots of fun in our sensory pool, otherwise known as a kiddie pool. We do put water in it sometimes but other things are way more exciting. So far we have favored blocks and dried pasta. My next will be cooked rice and one fun day shaving cream but that is more mess than I am ready for right now.

We also purchased an Elmo couch.  Yes, Elmo is our love right now.  They are so cute sitting on their mini size couch.  It also is a great bed and Zachie sleeps wonderfully on it.

Fun in the Sun

Well, once it actually got warm around here we purchased a little kiddie pool for our balcony. We have a great little playground outside our apartment but sometimes you just want to cool down in the pool. Zachie loves the water and having fun outside so this is a perfect fit for him. We got him a romper swimsuit. I love this little suit, and now he knows what to expect when he gets it on so we have to be ready with the water! In the pools off hours we like to use it as a discovery pool. We fill it with something different every week and he gets to play and explore in the living room. His favorites so far are pasta and blocks.

4th of July Ward Breakfast

This was such a fun day. Last fourth of July Zachie practically slept through the whole day including the fireworks. We also didn't make it to the breakfast last year so we were really excited to go this year. The breakfast was so yummy. We had pancakes, eggs, mountains of fruit, and little smokies. Zachie of course had a great time running around and exploring this new park.

We had never brought him to this park because of the edges that dropped off into water or just dropped off, so he had to explore. Of course, this meant he went up to every edge trying to get across or see where it went, AHHHH! He had fun running around with Anna and eating all the food.

                                             
                                             


He found himself a little camping chair and sat so nicely in it for a good 5 minutes.

                                                       


Someone commented on Anna and Zachies outfits saying," Some kids where tablecloths and some kids where flags." Writing that out doesn't make it sound that funny but we had a good laugh.

                                                   Next up.... The rest of fourth or July!
