We have been trying to pack some fun into the last days of summer. Bubbles, leftover snakes, and stolen sunglasses from sister. What more could a two year old ask for?

We had our first family movie night!

This picture makes me a little bit sad considering that it will probably be the last time I wear Alaina since she is getting so big!
"Small" dipped cone?

The Living Planet Aquarium

We are trying to pack a whole bunch of fun into the last few weeks of summer, so today we took the kids to the Living Planet Aquarium. Connor was into it until we introduced him to an octopus that he didn't realize was sitting right behind him. After that, the fun was over for him and everything was scary. Alaina loved it all!

Robot Invasion!

Blogger needs to get with the program

Okay peeps, here's the deal. I understand that you want to see pictures of the kiddos, but blogger makes the process of uploading almost unbearable for me. I started this blog to keep up with family, and most of you are my friends on Facebook anyway, which has a much more convenient way of handling photos. If anyone has any opposition to me stopping updating this blog, please let me know or else I will consider myself officially resigned.

Out of Hibernation

As you can probably tell by the lack of posts made in the past couple of months, life has been hectic. We moved, with the gracious and much-needed help of my family, to Utah right before Christmas. Things are slowly but surely settling down, and we're grateful for that! Anthony is loving going to school, and the kids are growing up WAY too fast. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the recent months.

Alaina is NINE months old already!

Since Alaina is a late sitter like Connor was, we like to prop her up in a baby-size laundry basket. Not to be forgotten about, Connor includes himself. :) No, I did not stage this photo.

Connor is turning into a little ham when the camera comes out. The smiles don't last long, though, since he wants to play with the camera and Mommy doesn't let him.

Whenever there are ties lying around the floor (and that happens a lot with my job), Connor likes to put them on and parade around. He's been doing this for about 4 months now.

I thought Connor looked TOO dashing in his great-grandmother's glasses on Thanksgiving. He looks nerdy, but CHARMINGLY nerdy. :)

Halloween '08

Aren't my wee creatures frightening?

Don't let this sweet, tonguey smile fool you...she is a fiery little one (hence the chili pepper)! Thanks, Grandma! "Rawr!" Connor liked to wear his costume around the house, but I learned the hard way that he has figured out how to open toilet lids. Those hanging "paws" were soaked the minute I turned my back!
