HOT, HOT, HOT!!

I can't believe this weather we're having, I'm so glad we moved here in the winter, because I think I would have just packed back up and moved back to WA if we had arrived here in the summer. I don't even know how many straight days now we've had temperatures over 100. Plus, all of us, except Brandon, have had colds, allergies, ear infection, cough things going on this past week so it has really not been a fun time at our house! I think we're all recovering though, so if the weather could cool off a bit, that would be perfect!!!

But, enough complaining, here are some pictures of what we've been up to lately!


Brandon stayed home on Monday to help out with the kids since I wasn't feeling well, they both enjoyed cuddling with daddy until I started taking pictures and then they got silly!


They've been playing together fairly well lately. Timothy still tries to take over and doesn't want to share much, and now Charlotte gets mad when he takes her toys away. It's not as bad when they're at home and she has more toys of her own that she can play with, but when they're in the car it gets pretty bad. I can only imagine it's going to get much worse before it gets better!!

Timothy and I watched the Narnia movies the other day and he decided he needed to sit in his "zebra" and hold his "sword" so he could help fight the bad guys. He was so funny, he would run around the room and "kill" some of the bad guys and then sit down and then out of nowhere he would jump up and have to go get the rest of the bad guys. He has quite the imagination!!

Charlotte doesn't really seem interested in walking much at all. She can stand by herself, without holding onto anything, and she can walk with her walker, she doesn't really seem to like it though. She's a fast little crawler and she likes to have mommy or Timothy chase her now.

She's really into making messes though, and she loves to pull EVERYTHING off of the bookshelves and make a huge mess. She throws around all the puzzle boxes until they open and the pieces all fall out. She's really becoming a little toddler and not so much a baby anymore :(


This is one of the rare moments that Charlotte did decide to use her walker, but you can see it was short-lived!

SO cute! Charlotte looks so tall and thin. Can't believe she's almost 1!!!! And that one of Timothy on the "zebra" is hilarious. See ya'll soon. Love you!

What I did with the puzzles when Lara started to do it to make it easier for clean-up was to number the puzzles. So the Cars puzzle was #1...I'd label every piece of that puzzle with a 1, then numbered the box as well. That way, I didn't have to think about it and look at every little piece to see where it fit. Just had to match numbers, and it helped Ethan learn his numbers, too! :)

They are so big! So excited you guys are coming for a few weeks. We will be down in San Antonio after the 5th of Dec. Haven't finalized anything yet.

I did number the puzzles, he has so many of those Cars puzzles I figured that was the best way to keep track of them!

We'll be up there in September and November and we're hoping to get back in town on December 5th, depends on plane tickets.
