Playing, Climbing, and Dressing Up

When Jason and I came here two years ago to check out the area we went to this really cool park that had water squirting out of the ground. The other day we took the kids and the water was broken, so it only came on every 10-20 minutes for about 30 secounds. Everytime the water came on all the kids would scream and run towards the water.

This is Alex as the water was turning off.

Kaydence (Alex's friend) actually got to run though the water.

This is what they did while they waited for the water to turn on.

Mason learned to pull himself up on the side of his crib. The problem is once he got up he couldn't get down so he would just sit there and cry, so we lowered the crib.
And this was the first thing I found.
They are getting excited for Halloween.
(Eliza informed me she has to hold her legs like that or her knee pads will fall down)

Eliza is great!!

While I was looking through the pictures I found this series that Eliza took of herself. It made me laugh, so I thought I would share it.

A Little Bit of Everything!

Well I am behind. We have been doing so many things in the past few weeks and I haven't taken the time to post anything. Here are a few of them.
This is at the butterfly house. When the butterfly landed on Eliza's hand she yelled "Get it off! Get it off!" Being the great mom that I am I said "It's o.k. It won't hurt you let me get a picture".

Trevor holding Mason. It looks so peaceful.

We finally visited the Arch. This is a picture I took from the car after I gave Jason the wrong directions and we were headed back to exit we were suppose to take. Traffic was pretty slow, so I was able to get a pretty good picture.
The kids liked it, too

We went to the the chesterfield mall to watch fireworks for the 4th of July. The show was really cool and we had a lot of fun.

More Zoo!!

So we went to the Zoo again. This time with Trevor and we saw some new things this time too.

I love Eliza. She gets so excited about things.

Leaf Cutter Ants. They are so cool.
It is nice to have some shoulders to ride on.

Lunch break.
The hippo tank. The hippos were hard to see, but you sure could see the fish.

The tunnel with the snake eggs.

We come all the way to the zoo just to play in the sprinklers.

Mason is on the Move

About two weeks ago Mason started scooting all around the living room. Most babies play while sitting in the entertainer but Mason likes to play underneath it.

He just laid down to watch the movie.

More Summer Fun!!

We went to the Chesterfield Aquatic Center with some friends. It was really fun. The kids loved it. We went in the evening so there weren't very many people and the weather was perfect. The pictures are are by jungle gym surrounded by water. There is also a lazy river, 3 big water slides, a regular pool, and two diving boards.

Summer Fun!

So, we went to the zoo and the science center again and saw some things that we didn't see the first time. Trevor has been here visiting and went to the science center with us.

The girl in the hippos mouth is Kaydence. I babysit her and she is Alex's best friend in St. Louis.

If you look closely you can see the frogs.

This is a big snake!!
Alex and Kaydence really liked the train.

Optical Illusions!!
