Learning the Ropes

Aunt Janis gifted a remote controlled helicopter to AJ and he's been having a ball learning how to play with it and control it.  Grandpa took him outside today and tried to show him the ropes of what to do....

Look at that excitement!

He's such a fast learner - so proud of him!

Hanging and Hugging

Hanging out with each other. 

 

And giving some hugs. 

I love them! 

How Does Your Garden Grow?

AJ and Grandpa are part of our success for our garden this year!  Grandpa takes good care of all of our vegetable plants and is showing AJ how to help pick the fruit of their labor.

Sandbox Fun After Work

After I picked the kiddos up from Baba and Dzaidzi's house, AJ asked if we could go in the sandbox. I didn't even get a chance to change into play clothes and he already had the sandbox open!  So there we were - p[laying in the sandbox with Mommy still in her work clothes!!  How silly!

Someone wasn't happy when I told her not to eat the sand. 

Maxin' and relaxin' while the kiddos are playing nicely together. 

These two.  I just love them. 

This picture warms my heart.  AJ was leaning in for a hug I believe. 

 

AJ thought it would be funny to try and eat sand like his little sister.  

He thinks it is hilarious.  Mommy, not so much. 

Look at that devious smile! 

Still trying to eat sand.  This kid is too much!

Sandbox fun!

He's 'King of the World' sitting on top of the sandbox! 

New Food

Chloe tried eggs for the first time this morning.  She seemed to like them, although the face she made when feeling the texture in her mouth for the first time was priceless!

Open wide!

Not so sure...

That face!

Sweet Little Boy

Pictures of my kiddos sleeping will never ever get old.

Nine Month Follow-up

I am pleased to report that Chloe's pink eye and ear infection seem to be sooo much better.  Dr. Kumar says things look good and our little girl is doing just perfect!!

**Even though her appointment was about a week after her 9-month birthday, Chloe's 9 month stats are in the 9-month entry.**

Waiting with big brother for Dr. Kumar

Look at those adorable faces!

Hugs!!

I Shake My Booty

Thank you to Allison Claire for teaching my little guy this new move:

He is quite adorable doing it!  

Ominous Clouds

I found these outside of our house today... Not sure whether to be scared or amazed at them.

You can see the rain coming down in the far, far distance.

A little bit of blue sky within the ominous clouds.
