butterfly

we went out today, and when we came home, we found our caterpillar had turned into a butterfly

Waiting for him to fly away

Bye bye Mr Caterpillar!!

(Josh looks kind of out of it because he took a long nap in the car and was still half asleep)

Our garden

On the right side of this page, click on the link that says "our garden" to see some pics of it. :)

what's in there?

Anna was checking out what's in the drawer under the oven....

PEAS!!!

Josh is so excited that his favoite snack is ready! He LOVES to eat peas, fresh off the plant. I get a whole bunch of them, break them open and he sits on the diving board and eats them out of the pod.

sandbox!!!!

Mike finished filling Josh's sandbox last night!! We didn't have space in the back yard for a box, so the box is actually IN the deck. We just flip up a section of the boards and then he can play. :) I just sent him out a few minutes ago to play in it and he's thrilled!  haven't heard a peep out of him :)

Thanks daddy, I LOVE it!!

Noodles!!

Anna tried some noodles for dinner tonight. She had a long spaghetti one, which was lots of fun, and some little round ones as well.

She liked to pick the round ones up on her finger and then put them in her mouth to eat them :)

good use for a baby tub....

I think baby bath tubs are not very useful for bathing babies (so much easier to just take them in the tub / shower with you) but they are great for playing outside with!! (and yes, we do have a pool but the water is barely 70...)

I love when 1 toy, entertains 2 kids, lol! Anna sat at the back door watching Josh play the whole time he was out there.

Anna

I've been getting complaints about not updating in a while, so here's a bunch...




This is Anna's "I have a full belly" face :)



And this is her super sweet hair!

Just goofing around...

hamming it up for the camera




Trying to get the camera

almost got it...

Ahh, there's those 5 teeth.... (3 on top and 2 on bottom)

guess he was tired...

Saturday Mike and I did a lot of yard work, Josh helped some, but mostly spent the day running around in the yard. He seemed tired in the afternoon, but since he doesn't nap anymore, I suggested he play a computer game to relax, while I put Anna down for a nap. When I came back, this was how I found him, lol! I guess he was tired!

Calling Papa L

Josh has a toy bus, which he broke the door off of, he said he needed to call Papa L to have him come fix it (my dad has an old bus that he restored, so Josh knows papa can fix a bus).  It's hard to understand what he says, so I typed up what I think he says...

 

"Hey Papa, 

I need help with my school bus, 

I just broke door off.  

Papa be here in a minute.  

Ok, bye"

"Ring ding, ring ding

How ya doin' Papa

Got door fixed, ok

That why I not have to come here anymore

ok, bye"

working on the railroad

Josh is looking through a song book and singing "I've been working on the railroad" to Anna.  It's not the best video, I was doing dishes and just happened to catch him doing it :)

Anna
