Question...

Do you know how many of Lilly's farts are on your head right now?

Can I pull this off?

Not quite long enough for pig tails (yet)

How hot was it today again?

What else are we supposed to do when it is this hot? We play with water, cups, spoons, and try to stay in the shade.




This last picture is really a shot out to all those who had your kids at Sutter Hospital. Come on Summer, you know you still have your giant water bearing Sutter cup. I got two for the record. I guess you get one for each kid??

It's about time for some Finger Painting

Really more like body painting

Simple... yet so effective

How could something so small make us so happy?


Yes...girls can dunk in dresses


I can even dunk with my eyes shut



Not bad for a three dollar purchase at Walmart.

Drew as Cookie Monster

WARNING: Young children could be frightened by Drew's interpretation of Cookie Monster

Potty Training update

So to answer your first question, NO we have not started potty training yet and really haven't been thinking about it at all, until recently. But in the last few days Lilly and Drew have started coming up to me without me asking and touching their diapers and then saying "poo poo" Well Lilly says "poo poo" and Drew says more of a "peh peh" I didn't even believe my ears until I looked in the diapers and ta dah...I come to learn they are telling me something. I have never been so elated to clean a poopy diaper as I was when that happened. Don't worry, I didn't take a picture of the poopy diaper, but check out Drew's way of telling us he has poop.



So maybe potty training is closer than I thought. We will just have to see.

The list

I wrote a To Do list for mommy





1. Feed me
2. Get poop out of my diaper
3. Let me go outside
4. Send Drew to time out when he doesn't give me the toy I want
5. Give me lots of loves
6. Wrestle with me
7. Skip nap time
8. Let me base jump off the couch
9. Watch Elmo's World
10. Kiss daddy when he gets home

Helping daddy

Well if I am doing chores with daddy, then I have to wear his shoes(my idea)


These are harder to walk in than I thought


Pulling some weeds. Sometimes I actually got the root


I worked up a good sweat doing yard work with daddy. I wonder how many monies I get for doing this chore?

The Truck Chasing Olympic Trials

This is just one strategy parents can apply to make your kids tired and ready to go to sleep easily and willingly :)

Playmates..even if they don't always like it

We have been spotted traveling through the house like this unprompted by any adult or feline named Frankie.

The Kiss

Are you ready for this kiss?


Drew is thinking, "maybe I am having second thoughts about this kissing thing"
Lilly is thinking, "not me"


Contact


One kiss is enough Lilly
I love you Drew

Will she be an engineer?

So, first I took it apart


Second, I attempted to put it back together. My lap seemed like a good surface to do that


Thirdly, this isn't working very well


Lastly, the directions are incorrect mommy


So your saying I am not going to be an engineer...what about a cheesy model with this smile? I'll make millions

Creative or just bored?

What wrong with water bottle bowling on a hot day?

Daddy's influence

Ever since Manny was traded to the Dodgers, Daddy has been kind of sad around here. But we figured out a way to put a smile on his face again and show him what team we support with or with out "he who shall not be named"

When can I get me one of these?

So when our friends (The Fredy's-pronounced freedy)came to town, Aimee brought her delightful and expensive camera that takes amazing pictures. Here are just a few to share. The quality is just so lovely. Seriously :)




So thanks to Aimee for capturing some great moments...you can probably tell what pictures Aimee took that have recently been on the blog versus my pictures

Birthday Parties...part 1

Ummmm, so I could hang up here all day if you want


Still having fun, what's the big deal about this hanging thing?


Okay, getting a little tougher. I think my hands are slipping


I am not Lilly, get me down please

More birthday parties...Part 2

We got to go to one party for TWO friends at a super cool place called My Gym.

The ball pit doesn't ever disappoint


We will figure out how to do this contraption of a ball on a big "rubber band type" string at home shortly


Popping bubbles, popping bubbles, pop pop pop


The Reason why we even got have such a fun morning
