Since May...

I haven't put any pictures up since May, and really before then. I hadn't realized how much the kids had changed, and I loved looking through the pictures (there were 500, oh my goodness!) Here are a few things we have done:

Kate came up to me holding her doll, "My baby wants to go downstairs and sleep, but I don't want her to, I want her to sleep with me." She is kind of turning into a drama queen, she loves pretending, silly goose.

These cars are such a hot comodity at our house right now (along with the shopping cart). All 3 love to push the cars and stroller around and ride on the cars. (Scott, Austin)
They love pushing each other too. (Austin)

I especially love when the boys push each other, Hilarious! (Austin, Scott)
The kids LOVE playing outside so much. If I go outside without them for a second, they cry and knock on the door. They love splashing and just playing together.
As I looked through my pictures, I came upon this picture (Jeff took it not me). He informed me that the kids (including Austin on the bottom) were all having fun until the last moment. Let's just say the kids are learning how to rough house with each other.

Kate playing dress up with Aunt Rachel. I love her as a cowgirl, I wanted to be a cowgirl when I grew up.
We've loved spending time with family this summer and letting the kids get to know their cousins!
This is on Grandma's birthday, the boys were done by this point of the night. (A, S)

Austin on Emma's lap, Scott on Kate's.


A visit with Grandma Packer, the kids just adore her. (S, A)

Austin and Kate
At the beginning of the summer, we spent a lot of time on the yard, the kids all love helping Jeff with their tools.
What a beautiful day this was--when the boys would finally hold their bottles themselves (S, A)



We have been to the zoo A LOT! We got season passes this year and have gone with friends and with 3 different family members and their families when they were in town. The kids love the zoo and especially the train. Oh the boys love it--although I worry they are going to dive off. And yes, I did sit with them! (Austin left, Scott right)

A, S
This is the boys' favorite drawer (well, the only drawer I let them play in). They love to pull all the grocery bags out, throw them on the floor and climb in. I usually don't let them, but they looked so cute, I had to take a picture. (Scott left, Austin right)
Kate loves to feed the boys these days. She feeds them yogurt and makes a good 65% into their mouths. Scott above, Austin below
We went to the aquarium one last time before our membership ran out. The kids really enjoyed it. Actually, I don't think Kate enjoyed it when she thought I had left her and took off running to look for me. I was actually 3 feet away--she was at the glass and didn't see me, so I'm taking off after her holding both boys, I'm sure it was entertaining!
I've been loving this summer with my three little munchkins. Their little personalities are so fun. I'm glad we're only halfway through!!

LOVE these picture posts! Your kids are changing so much, I'm excited to have all of you here in a few months! I love that Kate feed's the boys, can she come over to my house? Teagan still makes a huge mess when he eats!

That last story about Kate was sad and funny all at the same time...

You just made me want to be better at taking pictures of the small things! My favorite was your joy about the boys holding their own bottles :)

Brian and Elise said...

Fun! Thanks for sharing! The boys look older than when I saw them just a month ago! Are they going to nursery now!? How nice for Jeff and Julie on Sundays! It looks like your summer has been great. I remember last summer how hard it was for you with the boys, and you said that by next summer (this summer) it'd start getting easier. Well, it's here! Hooray! And that Kate is sure a cute little cowgirl.
