"Bow" Track

Gavin told me he was making a "bow" track.  I think he was referring to the shape of a hair bow is all I can figure. I thought it was cute! I helped him complete it.  

Gavin had the idea of adding a roll of duct tape as a tunnel.  Clever!

New Dress

It's been a really long time since I've gotten a new dress, so I thought I'd document it!

Physical Therapy & First Steps!

Colin playing with Ms. Karsti during PT.

Silly boy knows how to do the least amount of work as possible.  He decided that he wanted transfer the rings instead of standing up to get them off of Ms. Karsti's head.  

Diving for treasure!

I don't have a picture to go with the video, but here are some of Colin's first solo steps!

Playing with the monkeys!

Bento Fun

I got this fun doodad to put faces on onigiri for lunches.  One punch makes something like 8 faces with two punches.  

My first attempt at a bear face.

Mischievous Cutie!

Colin now says Elmo!  Although, it sounds like he is saying, "elbow." He loves Elmo and Anpanman.  

Here is the video.  Hopefully you don't find my prompting Colin to say Elmo so many times annoying... :-D

Silly baby!  I need to use scraps of fabric and an old wipes box to make him his own "wipes" container!

I already posted these pictures, but I had forgotten that there was a video with it...so here they are again!  He loves to help me pick tomatoes!

Happy Independence Day!

 We had a good 4th of July.  Hope yours was a good one as well!!

Colin has been loving his bear!

Cheese!

He loves balloons, but he calls them "ball."

These girls made good babysitters, thanks!

Blow a bubble!

Some of the grown ups and older kids played games.  

Grandma with her newest grandbaby!

Sweet baby girl!

The kids watched a video with my dad--Shawn the sheep, I think.

 Yum, dessert!

Time for fireworks!

Grandma was nice enough to take care of Colin for a while so I could be out with the fireworks, thanks!

I think a few of my fireworks shots came out cool looking!

Gavin had an interesting stance while he was doing the sparklers!

Aunty!

Thanks to my parents for hosting us all again this year.  Thanks to everyone for coming, bringing food, fireworks, and having fun!  I hope everyone had a great time!
