Climbing Joe

I put Joe clear at the far end of the living room and ran into the bathroom for less than a minute and when I came out this is were I found him.

He had crawled (military style) all the way to the stairs and started climbing up. He doesn't seem to realize that he is only 7 months old!

Zach's Parrot

This parrot drawn by Zach. He copied it out of a learn to draw book without tracing or help. He is very proud of it.

Crazy Hat Night at Awanas

A couple of weeks ago they had Crazy Hat night at Awana's. Both boys picked what they wanted their hats to look like and Ian put them together for them. Zach wanted to have a fishing hat and Ben wanted a "Cars" hat (like his favorite movie). Ben is a Cubbie and their club doesn't judge the hats but since Zach is a Spark this year their hats were judged in three categories: hobby, Bible and crazy. Zach won the hobby category and was really excited!

Fall Harvest Party

The boys where all excited about dressing up for the Fall Harvest party at church this year. They got lots of candy and had a blast!

Ben was a cowboy and Zach a policeman.

Joe was our little nurse.

Soccer Practice

Zach had his first soccer practice this week. Ian said he did pretty good & he really likes it.

Cruising in My Walker

I came back from the store the other day to find Ian had taken Joe out on the driveway for a spin in the walker.

Zach & Ben's Birthday Party

We had a "kid party" for the first time this year and it went really well. There were about 17 kids counting the boys.

We had an inflatable "moonwalk" to bounce on.

The horse swing was a big hit.

They all wanted to sit on the same blanket at snack time.

Zach & Ben hitting the pinata.

Ben on his 3rd Birthday

Ian & I gave him a wheelbarrow for his birthday.

He loves his Pepsi!

Josiah is growing fast

This is the first time he picked up & held something on his own.

He loves his play gym!
Josuah likes sitting in the bean bag & joining in with the "big boys".

Grandma & Papa's Visit

Ian's parents were here for a few days between the boys birthdays. We did alot and had great fun while doing it.

4th of July Parade

We went to the Fourth of July parade here in Derby this year the boys really loved it. Many of the float participants throw candy and Ben really got into snatching it up.

Swimming Lessons

The boys really love taking swimming lessons from Miss Julie.

Fun at the Lake

The end of June we went up to the "cabin" at Council Grove Lake. He took some close friends of ours with us and we had a great time!

When ever Ben would jump off the dock he would yell, "To infinity and beyond!" (He is a big Buzz Lightyear fan)

Here are some of the highlights of the trip.

The Moby Wrap

I have recently purchased a Moby wrap to use with Josiah, which I love! I only wish I had know about them with my other boys. After watching me carry Josiah around in it for a week or so, Ian decided that he wanted to give it a try.

Watching the Swimmers

While the boys swam, Ian and Josiah watched. I think he looks like a grumpy little old man in this picture.

He got happy though and started "talking" to his daddy.

Swimming in the new pool

The boys pool from last year started leaking air when we blew it up this year so we had to get a new one.
