Catch Up!

To say that life has been a little insane lately, would be an understatement. We have been busy, but having so much fun! The pictures will tell the stories...

 

Goofball trying on my shoes and doing some yoga!

 

Someone loved the American Girl Doll catalog and was pretty excited to see that Isabelle is the AGD of the year. Of course, only available until December. We shall see if Santa will come through. 

 

Picking out what she wants and thinks she earned haha.

 

These two were so cute together at the West End Concert last week.

 

Izzy waiting in line to try the hula hoop.

 

Seems so weird that she will be in preschool soon and be lining up a lot.

 

Evan came to play. These two are such buddies!

 

Jumpy house fun! We bounced with Evan and then my coworkers came over and jumped with their kids too!

 

A boy and his truck.

 

Friends from the start! Izzy and Lainy used to share a nanny at our house. They have too much fun together!

 

Big boy!

 

Learning new games!

 

We went to Alexandria for the weekend with the Craigmiles. We had such a fun time! Thank you Craigmiles!

 

Checking out the water.

 

How cute are these kids?

 

Beach time in Alex!

 

Playing in the sand.

 

These two! Snuggling after a good swim.

 

Our little pirate.

 

Buddies!

 

Clapping to the music at Arrowwood.

 

The horses at Arrowwood.

 

 This was a picture Izzy took on my phone. I think it is funny, if you look closely, you'll see Bobby on the monitor sitting up.

 

Girlfriends!

 

We stopped at a school playground on the way home. The kids loved the extra time to play and run around. 

 

These two!! Melt my heart all the time when they play and hug each other. 

 

Izzy sharing her juice with Bobby. Total second child, gets a juicebox at this age, Izzy didn't get one until she potty trained at 2!

 

In case you didn't know, His Name is Bob!

 

We went to Starring Lake Amphitheater with Grandma and Grandpa! Thanks for taking them there gma and gpa!

 

Dancing to the music!

 

Learning can be fun... practicing our letters!

 

Double French Braids

 

We met Izzy's friend, Eleanor, at the park today.

 

Bobby found the Tupperware cabinet!

 

Bobby loved sitting on the bottom of slides

 

Week Snapshot

We had a fun filled week and weekend. We went out to eat, to the Zoo, went swimming etc. The pictures will tell the stories....

  

These two! Too cute! 

 

Goofball with her backwards hat.

We went to the splash pad with Eleanor. These two are hilarious together. Seeing her with her friends makes me feel less guilty about working during the school year because she LOVES her friends and playing with them all day long. She told me today that she is excited to go back to Debbie's house to play with her friends and go to preschool.

 

First Mohawk #milestone

 

Dinner at Crossroads Deli

 

 

Izzy ordered her meal, she said, "I'll have hand chicken please." She meant Chicken fingers, but hand chicken works too.

 

Izzy loves pushing Bobby on our walks.

 

I think I know who Bobby looks like now...this was me as a kid. Just as scrawny as Izzy, hopefully I get that back in my thirties. :)

 

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner. Izzy got her favorite pink cone with vanilla ice cream and sprinkles. Lucky girl!

 

This poor boy has LOTS of teeth coming in! His molars just broke through on the bottom and his two eye teeth are seconds away from breaking through. He has been out of sorts to say the least. 

 

Love catching moments like these before they realize it. Izzy was reading Bobby a book.

 

Making a mask. Thanks Erin and Andy for the awesome bday gift!

 

Haha love this one!

 

We went to the Zoo on Saturday, it was so fun to see the animals through their eyes. They both LOVED the penguins like their Papa and Nana.

 

He was in awe over the penguins as they swam by. "oooohhhhhhh"

 

Hanging out by the Timber wolf 

 

You can barely see us, but we were standing in front of the bald eagle, or Papa as we like to call them.

 

It had a broken wing, but it looked fake since it didn't move much.

 

Izzy in the bear den.

 

Soooo cool seeing them up close. 

 

Checking out the bear as he took a swim.

 

Riding the bear.

 

We went back to the penguins for their feeding time. It was amazing how much they dove and played after they ate. 

 

Just hanging out in the birds nest.

 

We ate lunch at the bird show, it was pretty cool. Izzy got to go down and see the owl up close at the end of the show. She asked to pet it. 

 

Check out the baby moose! So cool!

 

Leaning down to eat food. They were 10.5 weeks old.

 

Nose to nose with the cow.

 

Bobby wasn't so sure about the goats.

 

Both kids fell asleep on the way home!

 

I brought extra clothes so they could run through the splash area.

 

Bobby loved this bear.

 

She loved running through the water.

 

Needless to say, they had a blast. 

 

 

Lucy came to play with her parents on Saturday for a little BBQ action. Isn't she cute!? Izzy loves to follow her around and ask a million questions. 

 

Sunday, we got into organization mode and started going through bins of the kids clothes and redid our entryway closet. While Pat and Izzy ran to Menards, Bobby and I played outside. I tried on his helmet and he wasn't a fan. He has such a big head, we have to get him the next size up. :)

 

After naps, we went to my aunt and uncles pool with Katelyn and George. They kids had a blast.

 

Bobby loves having his water wings now and things he can swim on his own.

 

Today, we met up with Jenny and George at the park to play while Katelyn played tennis. Bobby only hit his head once, which is pretty good for him!

 

Weeeeeee! Fun on the swings.

 

George was helping Izzy zip her jacket, so Izzy decided to play with his hair. 

 

Izzy's last dance class. :( So bummed that they don't offer weekend or weeknight classes. She is having an outdoor class on Mondays in August, so we will try to go to those if we can. She LOVED dance!

 

Nana came to watch dance, but due to the crazy detours to get to class, she only caught the last two minutes or so of class. We had to check out Cocoa Loco, a new restaurant in our hood. It was delicious! Kids eat free on Mondays and Thursdays too! Best of all, they have malt, shakes, and ice cream. Izzy and Nana got twist ice cream with sprinkles of course. 

 

That is a lot of ice cream for a little lady!
