Alli and Judy spend the day in Phoenix

Judy and Alli spent the day in Phoenix this past Sunday. They have been driving from St. Louis to California.  Alli was accepted to USC for the spring semester so she will be going to Santa Monica community college in the fall.  We had a great visit with them.  They were able to spend some time with Alex and Evan.  Katie came up too.  We even celebrated Alli's birthday (a few days late).  Good Luck Alli...  We are looking forward to seeing you in September.

Evan is 2 months old

We can't believe Evan is 2 months old. The time has gone by so fast. He went to the doctor last week for his check up. He is now 8 lb 3 oz.  He is still gaining about a half a pound a week.  He eats great and loves being held.  He is a great baby!!  We feel so lucky that our little guy is doing so well.

Tummy time...

Alex gets another haircut

Alex has been getting his haircut since he was 8 months old. We used to go to a place called Lollilocks but it closed a few months ago.  Alex was in need of a haircut about a month ago and we found this great place called Cool Cuts for Kids. Wes took for his last haircut and he told me about the place.  It was perfect for Alex.

Oh...that tickles

First Week of Preschool

Last week was Alex's first week of preschool. We had an open house on Monday so we could meet the teachers.  They are really sweet.  Then Wednesday was the first day of school.  Alex did great when I dropped him off but then was upset for part of the day.  On Friday he had a much better day.  He loves going outside to play.  They also have a lot of music and art which he will love!!  We are looking forward to the school year.

Happy Birthday Luke!!

Luke turned 2 on August 14th.  I took Alex over to the Larrabee house for the Wow Wow Wubzy party.  We had a great time!! We hope Luke had a great birthday and we wish him many, many more....

Happy birthday Luke

bring on the birthday cake

All the mommies and the babies

We tried to get a picture of Alex, Emma and Luke.  One of them was always moving. We thought it would work if we sat them on the riding toys. I don't think it worked

I love Lukey's new car he got for his birthday

Happy Birthday Emma

On August 10th Emma (Alex's friend) turned 2.  She had her Minnie Mouse birthday party the day before.  We can't believe the kids are turning 2.  We hope Emma had  a wonderful birthday and we wish her many more happy birthdays in the future.

Katie comes to play

Our cousin, Katie, lives in Phoenix and she is a student at ASU.  She has been coming to our house on Tuesday afternoons to help me with the boys.  We have been having a lot of fun with her and look forward to seeing her again soon.

The Shark Pool

Last weekend Wes and Alex ran some errands together. While they were out Wes found this baby pool.  It was great because it was a pool and had a sprinkler.  While Wes was filling the pool Alex decided to get in and try it out.  

hurry up daddy

wow....this is fun!!
