My smart girl...

So Emilia can recognize the following stores by their signs...(I am thinking we go to these places WAY too much!!!)
And this one...we have only been once but it stuck I guess!
And two shows that she loves and can tell what the logo is:

Tristan's 15 month check up...

Tristan had his 15 month checkup. Where did the time go?! He is measuring 32 1/2 inches tall and 24 pounds 8 ounces. (That is a growth of 3 1/4 inches in 3 months!!!!) He got 3 shots but did well with them.


Emilia was not so happy that she had to get the flu mist up her nose. We figured that we would save the co-pay and do it while we were in the office with Tristan. At her last checkup she was 36 1/4 inches so Tristan is only 4 inches shorter than his sister! He is going to be tall!

Super Hero day!

We got Emilia a Wonder Woman shirt at Old Navy and then found an Avengers shirt for Tristan at Target.
They did not want pose and smile for me!

She loves to sing! She was singing "Twinkle Twinkle" at the TOP of her lungs.
Mr. Cool!
Super Heros can do lots of things! My two super heros show how to plant a tree and drive a car. LOL!
Emilia and Steve digging the hole for a tree.
Trying to get a BIG rock out!!!
Once it was loose, Super Hero Emilia pulled it out.

He was having fun getting in and out of the car all by himself.
What a great smile!

The Great Northern Carousel...

One of Emilia's favorite places to go! The Great Northern Carousel is close to home and is cheap entertainment for both kids. (I think Emilia likes it more than Tristan though.) She always wants to go again and again.
Look how happy she is!
Tristan is just not quite sure of the whole thing.
She grins the WHOLE time!
She kept saying "Weeeeeee! Weeeeee!"
This was a little more his speed!
He actually smiled for this ride.
Emilia took lamby with her...we don't go very far without her these days!

Random pictures from one day...

These babies are so much fun!
Tristan thought it was funny that he could climb on his sister's lap and squish her.
At least they were both laughing!
Tristan's favorite seat in the house is next to Dexter.
Cuddling with Dexter. So cute!
Bathtime for the kids after a long day.
Doesn't Tristan look thrilled! LOL!

Let's go camping!

We took the new-to-us trailer camping for the first time. We went to Canyon Ferry Lake KOA. It was a lot of fun! They had a playground so the kids could burn off some energy too.

All this fresh air makes Joker tired!
Emilia was brave and climbed to the slide all by herself.

Time for bed. Tristan and his buddy fred.
Emilia is ready too. She took lamby, grace grace, and gigi to sleep with.

YAY the fence is done!!!!

Steve and I got the fence done...finally! We took the kids outside one morning and let them play in the backyard while we finished the fence. It looks awesome!!!

More pickets! I think there are a total of 765 pickets!
