Let's just say that the kids like going out for pizza...

Emerson is starting to say words without an s on the front, like Spiderman, special, snake, smurf, etc. So smurf sounds like "muff" since her r's need a little work too. Anyways, the one time she cooperated with me to say the words, her mouth was packed full of cereal. Oh well, you'll get the idea. I just like how she mimics the s sound after me but then says the word she wants to right afterwards instead of blending the sounds.

Here's Zane's latest science project. He's been begging me to leave food out so that it can "decay." He loves checking out mold and other grossness.

This day, Zane and Emmy were running around the circle in the house, then stopping and putting their arms around each other. Then, they'd go again. I think they were sort of posing for the camera this time, but it's pretty much the same as what they did every time.

This video is funny because before I started recording, they were getting along soooo well doing this puzzle together. Zane was being super patient giving her lot's of turns and showing her where to put pieces and she was being patient with him telling her what to do. Then, he got a little more bossy and decided he would get to do almost everything. I just love watching them work together on something.

The Past Week

Last week, we went to a yogurt shop near our church that had it's grand opening. The employees at church get free frozen yogurt on Fridays, so we went together to eat a great snack. They had face painting. They both held as still as statues...I love Emmy's face in this picture. It's like she's holding on to her chair for dear life and looks a little stunned or nervous.



Zane went to a birthday party where he got to make his own pizza from scratch. They got to make the dough and everything. He loved it of course.


Then, later that day we had our good family friends and family over for the day. It was fun having a full house of people and Zane and Emmy were happy to have their buddy Jaden to hang out with.

My mom and I took the kids to a spray park down in Colorado Springs one day while I got my car fixed. Emmy was Zane's shadow - it's good for both of them. He loves having someone follow him and she needs someone to lead her into the water.




Zane looks so old in this picture!
The got a lot of exercise running around and around. Even when Emerson stopped, Zane kept going for a while.

Our friends came over to play. Here's the whole crew in the sandbox....Emmy and the 6 boys.

Zack and the kids were wrestling. They LOVE anything to do with tackling, laying on each other, etc. Emmy doesn't hold back - she'll just jump on anyone and smiles while she's doing it.
My guys


Hanging out together


Yesterday, we went to the zoo. Zane wanted to be "Brainy Smurf" so that's why he's wearing those cool glasses.
Sassy thing...

Lunch Order

I asked the kids the other day what they wanted for lunch and they had such specific requests, I decided to record them. They're funny.

I like how when Emmy's telling me what she wants, she's keeping track of each part on her fingers. By the way, I don't give them cinnamon and sugar on bagels all the time, just a few times on special occasions. ;)

Bowling

Bowling for the first time was so much fun. We went with new friends in Broomfield and all the kids seemed to like it.

The ball was 9 pounds - I was pretty impressed that Emerson could carry it so well.
It was so cute how Zane and Emmy knew how to take turns but went up together and watched the ball together and cheered together.

Writing

Zane's been spending more time writing, drawing, and doing other art work lately. The most fun and newest thing is that he "writes" words and sentences and then reads them back to me.

Here are two videos. The first one is him writing his name and starting a letter to me and the second is him writing ideas for baby names. By the time I took the video, he was being silly with names, but when he first came up with the idea he was coming up with some pretty good names.

Some of his writing...

Sprinklers

When I went to water the lawn, Zane and Emmy instantly wanted to strip down to underwear and diaper and run through. Emmy only ran through once or twice and then got too cold.

Children's Museum

This past weekend, we met up with one of Zane's old classmates from his school in Castle Rock and her mom and brother. We spent the entire morning and early afternoon at the Denver Children's Museum. What a fun place! There were so many things to do and they were engaged the whole time. It was so good for Zane to get to spend time with his buddy, Cadence, too.

They were fishing in this fun play area.

The fire engine and gear were a big hit.



Emmy dressed up like a bunny and hopped around in this other climbing play area.
