Labor Day weekend (Saturday)

Happily talking to the air :)


She fell off the swing when she was swinging on her belly....mud everywhere and a bloody lip...I saw her and started laughing and it made her crake up laughing too!


Daddy being a bad influence...what law says you HAVE to go DOWN the slide?!?


At the Fantastival at Grace Church...well, the 30 min we were there before they shut it down due to rain!

New adventure


My little bubble butts :)

Cloth diapers!!! A friend stopped using them...don't worry, it's sanitary, so she passed them on to us. HUGE cut in diaper cost!!! So far I really like them...not much different from disposable ones only you wash them. I even use cloth wipes. We have a burp rag that matches the diaper with the guitars on the right....made me laugh when I pulled that diaper out of the bag!!

Just a little cutie after bath time :)

Chat time

I think they're fighting over ranking in this house.

Exersaucer is out...oh joy...

Since I got his door jumper out a while back, I didn't feel the need to get this out until a few days ago. He does like it to a point but he'd rather be free to roll around all over the floor. The other two were happy in it for a long time so we'll see if he starts liking it more.

There's a picture of Makenzie playing in the same spot when we first put Zach in this...now it's Zach's turn to show Logan how it goes :)

Burn

Lightening McQueen makes everything better

I was making waffles in the waffle iron and the kids love watching and helping. Since I didn't think it was safe for Zach to help...didn't want the lid to close on him...he just watched. Well when he went to get down, his arm swiped by the waffle iron real fast and it got him :( I was watching the whole time and it never looked like he touched it!! He then proceeded to pinch at it so under the cold water it went and all bandaged up with cream. Poor boy, he still points it out when you put his shirt on and that was last week this happened.

Bags galore

She was entertaining to watch pick up a bunch all at once!!

This is what met me at the door when I came home from jogging with Katy one night. They were being butts and daddy just said forget it, do whatever. Don't worry, they had to pick it all up....all by themselves. We save them and donate them to HSCI for poop bags :)

Shoving them all into his bucket and dumping them out in the big bag daddy was holding....funny thing is, daddy was right beside him on the couch :)

School Time!

A few days a week, while the boys are asleep, I will be teaching Makenzie a little preschool. She'll go to school next year when she's 4 but it's possible we may just do preschool at home and put her right into kindergarten when she's 5. She already knows her ABC's by sight (upper and lower case) and can say them. She knows her shapes, colors, can count almost up to 20, and starting to do opposites. I thought I'd start her out on one of each for the day and see where that takes us for future lessons :) Her first lesson was on writing....how to trace the letter "A" # "1" and a rectangle. She did very well! This first picture is only after about 5 attempts at tracing and it looks pretty dang good if you ask me!!

Her first attempt...apparently I didn't feel the need to flip the picture, sorry. I LOVE this book!! It's a dry erase letter book!!


When we were all done she got to color but I wanted to see if she could freehand what she just learned. I'd say she did a pretty darn good job!!! She drew me a balloon on a string, which I didn't ask for, to the left of that is the letter G, which again I didn't ask for and how she new that was beyond me. To the right of the balloon is the letter A, it is connected in the middle, you just need to look hard. The two long lines next to the letter A is the number 1, she drew them the whole length of the page :) The rectangle is surrounding everything :) She was soooo proud of herself and so were mommy and daddy!!!!! So far so good!!!!

Learning the number 1



Ready and excited the learn!!!!

Following directions.....which is following the path.

Awww :)


Sleeping more sound on his tummy :) Looks SO comfy!!!

Rolly Polly



All he does now is roll over whenever he's on his back!! His favorite sleeping position is now his belly :) The other two yahoo's never liked sleeping on their belly until they were a lot older.
