Family Photo Session

We had my friend from college take some pics of the kids and us too. She did a great job especially with the kids she had to work with. Jake just wanted to swim and Ethan was screaming because he was in the midst of teething. Here are some of my favorites!!

Summer Updates!

Okay, so I have neglected my blog this summer. So be prepared for lots of updates this week!!

At the begining of August we went to Lake Tahoe with my family. We spent a lot of time at the beach but managed to do some shopping and wine tasting.

Spending time at the beach

Wine tasting and shopping

Jake went "flying"

Veggie Tales

Ethan loves the show Veggie Tales and as soon as Bob the tomato come on the TV singing Ethan is immediately lost in the magic box (aka the TV)

Oh hi there, I'm Bob the tomato...come on over to my house......

Welcome to my house....It's the one up on the hill....It's the place I cook my dinners....take my bath and pay my bills, it the place I get letter from kids like you.........

Carrots

Ethan was so excited to try the carrots I made for himbut I don't think he liked them so much. He had the same reaction to the peas I made for him too. So far I've only succeed at the Butternut Squash!

Ethan's first Balloon

Ethan and I went to the grocery store and the check out clerk gave him a balloon. He loved it and it kept him entertained for awhile. I now have a new favorite grocery store and it is only because of the balloon.

Breakfast

Ethan's usually has bananas for breakfast but the other day I thought we would try out pears.

Here is a picture of Ethan so excited for his breakfast...expecting the usual bananers....
Uh those are not bananers....
Mom....what did you just feed me....those are sour.....
So I gave him some water to wash down the pears

Elmo

Ethan loves it when we bring out the talking Elmo. He gets so excited and laughs like crazy, it is the cutest thing!!
How much does Elmo love you....
Elmo loves you this much....

Uh oh, Elmo fell down....can you help Elmo up......
Ahh, thank you...your Elmo's best friend!!

Teething

He loves he's teething rings, drools like crazy and has random crying episodes....all of which lead me to believe he's teething but I started thinking this 3 months ago and there is still no proof of teething, he's still all gums!!
