Day at Roaring Springs

We had a really fun day today at Roaring Springs! Better than the first time we tried it! Zander spent a good deal of time hanging out in this tube, I thought he was resting....
Nope, he found an itty bitty little rock that he just had to show me...then throw it at a small little girl,

These chairs weren't even close to ours, but I went around the corner, and Zander was all relaxed.

Taking the leap!

Our friend Aidan and his mean karate face!

Oh, the joys of raising Children!!!

Okay, so here is the story...I get a shipment of Scentsy at the house today, and Zander spends like an hour playing with all of the bars, there were like 24 of them in all. He loves everything Scentsy, the bars, the samples, the catalogs, all of it. So it keeps him entertained. He has carried one of my sample baskets to bed with him for like a week. Well, bed time comes around and this kid will NOT go to sleep...crying...screaming...banging on the wall. I go in there, and sing to him, rock him, refill his beverage...put him back in bed...he keeps crying. Mitch goes in there, by now it is almost 10:30pm...Mitch brings him downstairs, much to my shigrin by the way. Well, the second Zander sees the box of Scentsy bars, he exclaims. "OH WOW!!!" He fills this thermal bag that they are shipped in with as many as he can fit, picks up the bag, and practically runs to bed shouting. "NIGH NIGH" and Mitch puts him down and he is out...out cold. What a silly boy.


Here you can see the mess he made of his room whilst he was protesting going to bed. Crap everywhere!
"NIGH NIGH MOMMY" He was seriously so freaking happy!

Mitch dying laughing while I snap a shot of him carrying 24 bars of Scentsy to bed with him. By the way, Mitch picked out his horribly mismatched jammies. We are in the midst of packing, and this was all he could find...uggh!

Buddies

So I have been watching my friends little boy Aidan for the last week. He is such a little ANGEL...seriously, he is so good. I was beginning to pack yesterday and I cam around the corner to see this precious sight! They really wanted to watch baby Einstein for some reason?? Whatever it may be, they silently sat through 2 videos??

I think it is time for a toddler bed...what do you think??

Where is Zander???Hmmm, here is a hint

Yup, you guessed it...he was sleeping under his crib!Sound asleep, for 3 hours!

I went in to get him up from his nap and took 9 pictures of him and he still didn't wake up. He had major carpet face when he finally woke up. I had to bribe him to get him out from under there.

Day at the Zoo part II

.


So my friend Erin and I thought it would be a perfect day to take our two rowdy boys to the zoo....two lessons learned today...one...Thursday is cheaper admission day, so there were a bagillion people there and two...always bring a change of clothes just in case your two year old chokes on his french toast sticks in the car and throws up all over the place! Yup, that's right, all over, once we parked I had to strip him down to his diaper, take his car seat totally apart, wipe down the car and throw it all in a bag....yuck. As some kind of miracle, Erin had a pair of shorts in the car and a hoodie, so we made our way to the zoo and bought Zander a Zoo Boise T-shirt, and he managed to keep the size 3 shorts on. By the way, he still wears 18mo. shorts...yes, it was quite a day! But barf and all, the boys had a blast. And not to be outdone, Brody who is potty training, peed all over his own shirt, it was an adventure! Zander can't help himself he has to climb on top of and inside of everything!



They just weren't as excited about the merry go round once they got on it. But once it started moving, they were jazzed!


Don't they look so happy to be at the zoo. Neither of them would smile for me. I was making a fool of myself trying to make them smile...no go!

Isn't that cute!! Going up the slide stairs together?? Brody was telling Zander how fun it was going to be!
Oh wait, Zander was not convinced! He never did go down the slide...bummer!

New Camera Test run!

So I bought a new camera and just had to get some pics of my favorite little man! Dang this kid is cute!

He was saying CHHHHEEEEEESSSSEEE! Can you tell!

Here is Zander catching up on the latest deals from the paper! He is so smart he reads up side down!

Sweet boy!

So Zander has had a hard time blowing bubbles...I mean come on the kid is only two right!!?!? So Mitch's niece McKayla had her first birthday party and this picture was taken after Z discovered how to do it! He was so so so excited!!! Can you tell?
