Fun Weekend...

Life feels so busy...all of the time. I cherish the weekends when we are all home together and feeling good. This past weekend was the absolute best.

I love watching Tyler play with Jake. Tyler definitely grabs Jake's attention any time they are around each other. It is so fun to see!

You can't see his teeth here..but the bottom two are in!

We have been trying to teach Tyler about doing various acts of kindness. On this day, we went to the Dollar Tree for him to pick out some new toys for his classmates to play with outside. He also got rewarded by being able to pick out a toy of his own.

Jake went on his first walk today. We walked for Bladder Cancer, after a good friend lost her father to Cancer. Jake enjoyed the walk...but who wouldn't like to be pushed around the block on a nice, sunny day?! 

Tyler did well on the walk. It was a one mile walk. He made it about half way before he had to be carried the rest of the way! Those little legs aren't used to walking so far!

We invited Grandma and Grandpa over for dinner. Tyler liked eating dessert with them and liked that they got to read him his bed time stories!

Yard work is a necessity...so Jake had to hang out outside in his pack n play while I pulled weeds. I'd much rather have his set up. He didn't seem to mind relaxing while looking up at the trees :)

Jake is trying to get the swing of the sippy cup but he just isn't there yet. For now, he enjoys chewing on the lid.

Tyler is big into nature lately. He likes to find bugs to put in his bug catcher. Imagine the excitement he felt when daddy found a snake for him to put in his bug catcher. Tyler got really close to me and said, "Mommy! Look!" I told him to back away from me. When I said that, Tyler told me to stop being "mean" to his "friend." Eek - is this what life with boys will look like?!

Jake can't really get into the mum mums. He tries but he makes a terrible face when he eats them. We have tried the original flavor and the banana flavor. They entertain him for about 5 seconds, until he either breaks it into pieces, throws it on the floor or until it gets stuck to another body part of his.

Poor guy - we just couldn't get him dinner fast enough!

Jake's hair looks dark here - but then in some pictures, it looks so light. Good news: he is finally getting some hair!

They love playing together before bed time! :)

See, his hair here looks a little lighter, right?! Little buddy is growing so fast!
