Zach and Grace

I love this picture. it looks like Mark and I have been zapped to babies (has anyone ever seen sky high? Sort of embarrised that i have, it is really dumb, but there is a part when all the adults are turned into babies)

Teeth

This is the perfect picture to show off Grace's two bottom teeth

Quiet Time

Zach doesen't really take naps anymore, but I do make him take a quiet time. I usually lock him in his room. He is really good about playing for a couple hours! but this is what his room usually ends up looking like.

Good Day

I have the best husband. He sent me flowers....

Terrible Twos Vs. My Sweet Zach

There are moments I have with Zach that i just want to scream!!

*The other day I came out of the shower with a flooded bathroom. He had scooted a chair into the bathroom and turned the water on, plugged the drain and was playing in the water while it was over flowing on to the floor.
*During nap time he loves to take all of his cloths out of his drawer.
*He thinks it is great fun to take Graces binkie and hide it. (I have found it under the TV, under the table cloth, in drawers, in his toy box, etc).
*He drags chairs into the kitchen and gets into the cupboards, dumping crackers and cereal all over the floor.
*I often find him straddling Grace like a horse and bouncing.
*Zach fed Grace an Oreo

(i'm sure these are all typical of a two year old)

On the other hand Zach is the sweetest little boy

*while I was feeding Grace he came over and started brushing his fingers through Grace's hair and said "pretty hair, pretty hair"
*today at the store Zach said, completely out of the blue, "Mom, i want a hug"
*A couple days ago I got out of the shower and Zach came up to me with a shirt he must of gotten out of my closet and said "This is a cute one" (I have a new favorite shirt)
*In the evening when he is getting tired he will often ask for his bebe (blanket) and say that he wants to snuggle.
*today Zach told me he was happy


It is these cute moments that make being a stay at home Mom the best job!

Free Time

I love digital scrapbooking. I do it often during Zach's quiet time and Graces nap. I thought I would post a few of my pages because I haven't posted anything in awhile. I haven't been great about taking pictures lately so....

halloween

We took the kids trick or treating to a few houses but didn't stay out long because they are sick.

Update

Jami and her kids came to visit this weekend. Mark had a camp out with the scouts so we had lots of fun watching girly movies and doing projects Friday night. It was so much fun to have her come. I love getting together with her (and my sis Kels, and Mom) because we always laugh! It is very therapeutic for me. We can get so silly and goofy together. I love it. Thanks for coming Jami!!
I have been walking with some of my friends in the morning. I love it. Iti is so fun to get a little exercise and just talking with my friends. This is how I found Zach the other day after our walk. Just chilling on top of Grace.
Grace is getting so big. She has been sitting on her own. Only for a few minutes at a time and she still bends forward quite a bit but I still think that it is pretty good for her.

These two are such good little buddies. Zach is such a good big brother. He loves laying next to Grace and talking to her and playing with her. He is so gentle with her too. I have never had to worry about leaving him in a room with her.

Oats

Zach's new favorite snack.

Update

Zach and Mark mowing the lawn. Zach would follow Mark side by side. Of course when I get the camera Zach won't go by Mark.
Going GREEN. We bought an electric lawn mower. It is a little weird with the cord but Mark says it isn't too bad.
Check out that hair!!! Would you believe this little cutie is already rolling over! She can only roll from back to tummy. She is growing way to fast!! I feel like she should still be a newborn and that I should still be pampered.....that stage goes by way to fast.

Little Chef
Zach loves to help in the kitchen. He especially loves making waffles with Mark on Saturday mornings.
Sweet Siblings!


Twin Falls County Fair

Zach looking at the horses and animals at the fair.

Zach got a prize if he completed a puzzle. He had LOTS of help from his Dad.
