What? It's August?

Well well, I hope I actually still have an audience, LOL! It amazes me how much more time flies with two kids rather than one. Or maybe just how much more I sleep...

At any rate we actually didn't have too busy a summer.

So first order of business is adding new photos to our Flickr account. Hoping it works okay the first time today.

A lot has happened. Logan has moved from crawling (with what seems to be a family method of crawling with one knee on the ground, and one knee up ready to pounce) to cruising, and now just this week he walks between pieces of furniture and between people! WOW.


Both boys love playing with cars and trains and just paling around in general.  I write this post today knowing that I *should* make two more posts in the next week - one for Logan's first birthday (tomorrow!!) and one for Jack's first day of school. Wish me luck. Hoping to get it done before Christmas.

We had a visit (well, technically Grandma and Grandpa had a visit) at the end of June from Scott's Aunt Brenda and his cousin Andrew. It was a lot of fun. Andrew even convinced Scott to go zip-lining. I don't even know if that is a real word. Zip-lining. *shiver*. We had a lot of fun visiting with them when they weren't adventuring all over Colorado!

Jack, Andrew, and Logan. I don't think Andrew looks too nervous!

The kids both loved Aunt Brenda! (So do we)

We also had a nice visit from Nonie and Papa Sudar in July. It was good to see them again. We were able to get a lot of important things done - like the family photos their kids gave them for their Anniversary in December. See? I'm not just slow at blogging. Here's one that was cute of all of us. Robert is my brother, if that wasn't obvious. :)


Standing: Dena, Scott, Nonie, Papa, Natalie, Robert
Sitting: Logan, Jack, Emerson, Reese

We also had some shots taken of the boys, as we were already planning to do when Logan was about 9 months old (to compare of course). I almost made it at 11 months old!

Jack and Logan 2012 (3 and 11 months)


Jack 9 months

 Otherwise things are going OK. Scott is still at Lockheed Martin. If any of you saw the Mars landing, he did have a hand in that project. Way back in '07 or'08 he did a stress test on the heatshield. Needless to say he was pretty excited to see it worked as it was supposed to. Yay!

I'll have more later I hope so I'll sign off for now and work on uploading photos.

Until Next Time!

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
