Really we don't have much going on this week. My mom is here to visit for the week which has been nice because I get to sleep in an extra hour and its nice to have another adult around to talk to and help entertain my kids.Its been super hot so we've been spending a lot of time at the pool. Yesterday I was walking with Isak to the pool and he insisted on bringing his dog and bunny (aka, hop hop). He kept telling me, "doggie go to da poo, doggie go to da poo" (pool). He was very dissapointed when I told him that his animals couldn't actually get in the water with him.
How I found Isak one morning as I was doing laundry upstairs. Hanging from the chadelier. I swear some days this kid really does belong in a zoo. Below is Isak and his friend Cole who just turned 2. We met their family when we first moved to Boise and became good friends. And apparently they also both love popsicles and running around in diapers.
Okay, so this is why you don't take your husband shopping with you. I had to pick up a few things at target, like baby food, and took them along. Of course kevin found this great nerf gun that was on clearance and wouldn't this be a great gift for Isak at some point? And such a great deal! I relunctanctly agreed, only to have the gun of course out of its package by the time we got home and Isak holding it in his lap. Funny thing, its so big Isak can barely use it and someone else has to pump it up for him. Hmm, almost seems like it would be more for an adult male trying to live out his childhood still through his child.....Although I must say, its works great to tire Isak out. We shoot the dart, he runs and gets it and brings it back. A great way to tire him out before bed.
You know those gerber two packs of baby food you buy? How they are suppose to last a few days, especially with a little baby who is just starting baby food? Well I gave her half of one mixed with rice cereal for lunch. She ate the rest of it for dinner. And when I came home from the gym tonight to my great suprise, Kevin informed she had eaten the other pack. The ENTIRE pack of pears. In one sitting. He told me she was hungry. Obviously. What is with my kids and wanting to eat me out of house and home? Isak has gotten a little pickier so that is starting to balance out I suppose. Seriously. I was so hesitant to start baby food with her because I knew this would happen. She's going to spurt up even faster than she already has. Sigh. Her and that tongue. Its all from the Gilbert side. She has it hanging out most of the day. I think she likes to chew on it.
This sweet picture I took of her today during her nap. I love her little hands and arms. And those chunky cheeks.
Yes, that handsome man is my husband, about 6 years ago. Kevin turned 28 on the 3rd..so happy birthday! I figured that this is the 7th birthday I have celebrated with him, that's alot of birthdays. Wow, he's getting old. We celebrated by going out to dinner a few nights before and he got some new electronic thing that he wanted that supposedly is suppose to make our lives easier but I still haven't figured the thing out yet. And best of all, our good friends Scott and Crystal Harris came to visit us on his birthday so we got to hang out with them and their girls!
THis is us pre baby and pre husband. We were single, cute and didn't have a care in the world. I sometimes miss those days...
Because now we have responsibilities, in the form of toddlers. But they're pretty cute so I think we'll keep them.
We had lots of fun with them while they were here. We took them swimming at our little community pool and went out for ice cream. Kevin and Scott went golfing while crystal and I chilled out at home with the kids. It was great to catch up!
Aubrey and Isak playing Guitar Hero. t of fun playing together.
We set of some fireworks with Isak on Sunday night because I worked the 4th. He loved them.
Here he is playing with the tanks. Luckily, he was still scared enough when they were lit that he didn't want to go any where near them.
Isak and Lucy before church on Sunday. You can't tell in this picture, but she is turning blonde quickly. I think she and Isak will have the same hair color.
