Of course we must start the blog off with this precious bundle. She is 2 1/2 months already...I know, can't believe it. She is such a great baby. Still! I have left her numerous times with Tony and she goes down without a laundry list of explanations.
She is just a doll in this sweet outfit so I snapped a shot. The hardest thing for me is finding the right socks or shoes to go with the outfit. I never even thought of that with the boys, but for her...its a must. I chose poorly here but either way...she makes it cute!
So many smiles!
Noah decided she needed a pear sticker on her head. She doesn't even mind. I can tell she will fit right in. In fact, she is starting to recognize the boys and enjoys their antics. She is also discovering her hands which cracks me up!
The end product.
Noah wanted to join in the fun and get his picture taken too. It was his idea after all.
She also has a habit now of bubbles. She is like a bubble machine. Hilarious. One minute nothing, the next she is pushing her tongue in and out repeatedly, then a waterfall of saliva and bubbles. Where she get this is a mystery.
Ahh here is the treadmill set up. I have this same picture for all the kids. Swing, monitor, ipod, water and garage. This treadmill is by far the oldest and most broken down. But I WILL make it work! She hung out here for 50 minutes while I did my longest run post baby. She just hung out...no fussing. She was probably amused by all the times I had to get off and tweek the belt which skips mid stride. Which is hilarious since you practically are thrown from the thing when it does that. Im just glad for the option.
I don't think I have ever documented the fact that I give the boys their hair cuts. Zach looks so grown up in this picture! Such a sweet boy. So this was hair cut evening since Noah had tee ball pictures the next day. Zach sits pretty well. He is just a quick buzz with his light fluffy hair and he is done.
Don't let this picture fool you. Noah hates getting his hair cut. It takes twice as long as Zach. He must have a sensitive scalp, which I have heard some people have. He doesn't even like me to dry it with a towel. His hair is so thick I do have to go slow, but he lets me know each move that it hurts and he doesn't like it. But if a treat is the reward then it goes a bit smoother. Plus his hair is so very course and thick! Just the opposite of Zach.
Onto the new shoes. The boys went on a date with grandma and came back with stylish sneakers. Zach loves shoes so much he wanted to wear them to bed. Just like when he got his boots.
Thus he wore them to bed. Some battles just aren't worth fighting.
One of the tee ball pictures. I the guy took a few, so here's to hoping we get a normal one. But notice the spiked hair. He really loves us to do this, but because his hair is so course, we have to wet it, blow dry it, spray it with hairspray, blow dry it and add super strong gel just to get a good hour out of it.
Team picture.
Noah has got a great throwing arm. Here it is in action.
Grandpa Chris came out. Such a wonderful help since we were there an hour early for pictures and then have an hour game. Its a long wait for little guys.
On Grandpas feet.
Sadie taking her afternoon snooze.
Noah up next to bat.
Watching brother from the sidelines...
Perfect girl sitting up in the stroller to watch all the action.
And we are done! So much fun. It is fun to watch Noah even though it makes for a long morning. He is great at it and we live 1 mile away from the field.
Summer fun! With the sun out a few days now we needed to get out the pool. Zach headed down to play in the water. Boots and all.
Warming up in the evening sun.
Monkey see monkey do. Just not sure which one is the monkey!
No words needed for this hallmark classic!
Here is the real gem of summer so far. Our wonderful friends lent us this massive water slide to use in the backyard. The water parks near by are so crowded I thought this would be a great option. And it is! We have the neighbor boy over and other friends and were out here all day.
The friends.
The neighbors came out with the slip-in-slide and now we really are our own water park!
Before long Noah decided taking the water raft things and going down the big slide was a good idea except he didn't want any water to spray him because it was cold, so he ended up getting stuck on the way down....
This looks like an action shot but its not. This is where he got stuck..
