sunglasses

the kids love sunglasses:) they've started to notice that we always wear sunglasses when we're in the car, so the two of them, before crawling into their carseats, will hand jacob and me our sunglasses and tell us to put them on. well, they finally got some of their own! jacob says jack looks like a mini- terminator in his:)

audrey also got her first princess dress! she's really into cinderella right now...actually, she's more into the mice and the castle than the actual princess:) she's so funny:)

here's a pic of jack in his swim floaty. he calls it his "backpack" because it's orange and has a smiley face like rescue pack from go diego go:) it's really funny seeing him with it on since he can't move his arms at all. they just hang straight out:)

jolly jumping sammy

sammy's finally old enough for the jolly jumper!! poor kid watches audrey and jack run and play and he's just stuck sitting in the bumbo. when we put him in the jumper, he just hung there, with this adorably confused look on his face. then audrey and jack came over and started turning him in circles. i had to stop them after a few minutes since sammy looked like he was going to hurl:)

audrey's pigtails

she finally has enough hair for me to play with!! she's such a big girl now! audrey actually kept the pigtails in and didn't yank them out right away. she kept saying "i so cute":) the ladybug floaty...jacob brought that home wednesday and she didn't take it off until yesterday after she went swimming. it's become her new best friend.

sammy

the kids have really started to interact with sammy more. they just love talking to him and making faces at him. he's much more interactive at three months than audrey and jack were and we think it's because he watches them run around and talk all day. he's really strong- jacob calls him mini muscle man- he's already rolling over onto his back:) he's such a cutie:)

canada day

canada day!! the city put on a HUGE celebration at the park, so we walked the kids over and had some good times in the kids' zone:) audrey spent most of her time on the kiddy moonbounce while jack went off exploring. he found an ice cream truck and was overly excited about that;) they had a blast and came home super tired and ready for a video:)

family day

our apartment complex had it's annual BBQ and picnic, so we made a family day of it. audrey's had a thing for peacocks ever since she read about them in a book, so we went to the petting zoo where they have one very lonely peacock, at the park across the street from us, the playground, and finished with the BBQ. the kids were soooo tired from all the playing it took them two days to recover. we learned that jack loves BBQs, but isn't very good at eating on the ground. he kept stepping on everyone's plates:) audrey ate a burger the size of her face:) jack just licked all the ketchup off his:) and sammy was just happy and content to watch the activity from his stroller while sucking his thumb. it was a really fun day with the kids!
