Justin Walking

Here is a short clip of Justin walking. He is walking more than the video shows, but that is all we could get on video. He is making progress!

New Pajamas

So, Zachary has had a huge growth spurt and has outgrown all of his P.J.s. I have been looking around to buy some for him. The price of the cheaply made, ugly, store bought pajamas is ridiculous. Instead of buying new pajamas I decided to make some for him. I bought four different patterns of flannel fabric and went to work. After one evening of work he had 4 new pairs of pajamas for half of the price. Here are some pics of a couple of them.



Yes, he is standing on his head on the couch.

Not So Little Anymore

I was just looking through the pictures that we have taken recently, and I came across these pictures that were taken at the park. It made me realize how big Justin has gotten in the last couple of weeks. I love to see how much he is learning. He is starting to talk and do other cute things like blowing kisses. He's so much fun, but not so much of a baby anymore. It's fun when they get to this stage but kind of sad too.


I love this picture. Justin loves his daddy so much. I think the feeling is mutual. Brad is crazy about that little guy.

Feeding the Ducks

There is a park that we like to go to that has a great walking trail. It takes us right by a lake. Every morning that we go, there are geese and ducks in the lake. We decided to take some bread with us so that Zachary could feed the ducks.



I couldn't believe how close the geese were getting to Zachary. It was so much fun to watch.



I love these two ducks. They remind me of Beatrix Potter's Jemima Puddle-Duck.

American Idol Concert

Last Saturday Brad's sisters, Brad and I all went to the American Idol concert here in Kansas City at the Sprint Center. We love to watch the show during the season, and this season we really got into it because David Archuletta is LDS, and David Cook is from the Kansas City Area. It was also our first time attending an event at the new arena.

The concert was packed, and the crowd was so loud through most of the concert. It was so much fun. The idols were all great. It is amazing how talented all of them are. I have never been to a performance where everyone sounded so good. My favorite performers were Michael Johns, David Archuletta, and David Cook, of course. They were all so awesome though.


This is a picture of Brad and I waiting outside in the sun. We got there before the doors opened. The sun was so bright, hence the funny looks on our faces.


Our seats were on the side of the stage, so you couldn't really get good pictures. I borrowed this one from someone else. This is an accurate representation of what the last number looked like.

Two Little Boys in a Racecar

This morning I was totally worn out. We went out out of town last weekend, and both of the boys were tired and acting up, but I had to go to the store. Normally I go to the grocery store next to our house, but today I was out running other errands, so I went to the grocery store that we used to go to before we moved last year. Since the last time I had been there they got these really cool race car carts that fit two children in them. I was really glad that they had it because it made my shopping trip so much faster.

When I put the boys in they were having such a good time and looked so cute that I couldn't resist a photo shoot right there in the produce section. I know I'm kind of silly, but it really made my day to have two happy children the grocery store. That doesn't happen too often, and they didn't even have candy!

Family Fun in the Park

Here lately we have been taking advantage of a walking trail at a park close to our home. As a family we walk around the trail, and after we are done we go to the playground so Zachary can play. This last time that we went Justin got to join in a little. He had a lot of fun with the help of Mommy and Daddy.



Zachary was running towards him in this picture. That is why he is so excited. My boys sure love each other.



Zachary loves this park too. He had a lot of fun, and even made some new friends.



Justin had fun, but by the end he was ready for a nap.



When his fingers go in his mouth I know he's tired.
