Last few Weeks

Here I am playing catch up again on pictures and videos. Better late than never I guess.

For Emmy's actual birthday, during the week, we went to the zoo with my good friend Tammy and her two little girls. All four kids wanted to walk on their own - which led to a lot of chasing and running. It was a little chaotic, but we all had fun and fortunately didn't end up losing any kids along the way.
They love the meerkats...
Last weekend, Zack stayed home with the kids all weekend while I went on our church's women's retreat in Frasier. They had a lot of fun. The most hilarious part for me was when I called to talk to Zack at almost 9:00 Saturday night and the kids were still up watching a movie, eating ice cream after getting back from Chucky Cheese's. He had a lot of fun hanging out with them and even got them ready to go to work with him on Sunday on time. Way to go!

They added some new art to our walls.
And got some new glow-sticks (Sorry about the food on Emmy's face).



Last week was a super rainy and cold week, so we did some indoor things. We tried a museum in Lafayette nearby and it was awesome.

Their favorite part was the pirate ship. Zane took it so seriously, dressing up, finding the treasure map, navigating, etc.





Emerson's favorite part was this huge doll house - she stood and played for about 30 minutes.
Zane dressed up like a dinosaur and slept in his cave.
Testing out the pulleys.
Connecting pipes.
On Saturday, Zane had his end of the year school party. They had a trike-a-thon, where the kids got to ride around a circle path as many times as they could. They also got to play with their friends from school.




After Zack spoke at our old church Sunday, we went out to lunch with some Monument friends. Zane got to sit with the big boys!
This week was also our last day of swimming lessons. Both kids love being in the water and did great.

Here they are getting ready...
Can you spot Zane?
He raised his hand when she asked who knew the answer to something and then showed her the right way. So funny.


He's a little stiff and cautious but still does pretty well. :)

Emmy, on the other hand is a complete dare devil. She doesn't understand any kind of boundaries and would be happy just being on her own in the water. She doesn't really get that I need to be there to hold her.

When she jumps in she tries to jump away from me! What 2 year old does that? I can't look away for even one second.
