Fun Pictures

Grandma and Pi came to visit a couple of weeks ago to play with the kids and babysit so we could go out on a date. Thank you! Grandma got a new camera for her birthday so we went to the park and took family pictures and they drove out to Lake Elizabeth with the kids.


















This is what the sky looked like because of the fires. No, they are not clouds!

Did Someone Say Chocolate?

I opened the fridge to clean it and within seconds my little monkey found the chocolate syrup, and took off the lid, and...








Seriously, doesn't this kid look look he is about two years old?

Our Kids

Alyssa and Nathan have a blast in the tub together. Nathan cries when we get him out of the tub.


Our kids love pizza night. We make everything so it is extra yummy!

Alyssa helps by making the crust.




They were having fun until I got the camera ready.


Playing peek-a-boo in a cardboard box.



He had so much food stuffed in his mouth.


Nathan is playing with the toy boxes, who needs the toys anyway?

Alyssa doing her hair while I'm getting ready. I don't know if you can tell but she found the lipstick before I noticed her getting into everything.



Wishing there was water in the tub.

He is now pulling himself up onto everything.

Catching Up

The kids had a great time playing with their Nana and Tata, and Nino Ed. We barbequed carne asada, had cake and icecream, taught Alyssa how to hit a pinata (I think she hit just about everyone there), and played with all of her new toys. Thank You!

Then the boys stayed up until dawn playing pool and poker.

BOYS!

Don't adjust the color on your computer. His mouth is completely yellow, and yesterday it was black, the day before green, and on and on. Good thing crayons are non-toxic huh?

I can't believe the difference between boys and girls. Nathan is into EVERYTHING and he just started crawling. I don't want him to walk, ever. When I went to get him from his nap today he was standing in his crib. Isn't it too early for this?



Alyssa was content to flip the door stop and watch it swing back and forth. No, that is not enough for Nathan, he wants to get the thing in his mouth.

Crawling

Nathan has been doing the army crawl for a few weeks now but finally last night he got his little butt (and I do mean little) in the air. He is crawling at just two days short of 9 months old.

Also I know that I am about a month behind in blogging. We have been so busy here and I haven't had the energy to keep up. I will post again soon to catch up.

Happy Birthday Alyssa!
