September 2014

Since I'm so behind with my blog, I think the easiest way is to upload photos by month. This probably is going to mean that the next few posts are just going to be huge photo dumps with brief explanations! But oh well! At least they'll be on the blog :)

This was way back in September when my friend, Erin showed us where this awesome splash pad park was. It was awesome and I can't wait till it gets warm enough to go again! The whole splash pad part was gated so there was no way that the kids could run off in different directions at the same time. It might sound funny, but that is a huge plus for me, especially with having two very mobile kids that don't have the listening thing down that great yet! Kimbri and Garrett loved it and I loved it too! 

Tessa & Kimbri - snack time!

A random frog that Kimbri and I found ouside
of the YMCA one night. We found 3 of them! 

This summer we caught quite a few scorpions in our garage using sticky traps. Yes, this grosses me out to no end. In the second picture it looks like the scorpion was trying to eat a cricket or something that had gotten stuck on the trap and then it obviously got stuck while trying to get it! Eeeww!!

We went to our friend, Molly's community pool one day and the kids had fun! Here is Peyton and Garrett snacking in their floaties :)

Bath time! Something my kids are all too obsessed with. Haha!

Garrett's first hair cut. There were several extra long strands on the top, back part of his head so I just did one big snip to make that patch of hair the same length as the rest of his head.

Happy about his haircut? He probably didn't even notice me do it... haha, but he's happy anyway!

These kids could probably spend all day at the park if I was up for it... they love getting the sand wet with the squirty bottle and then making different shapes in the sand or packing the sand into their buckets to make a "castle". I'm so glad we have a park so close to our house!

Going to the little petting zoo to feed the goats & donkeys!

And they even had a baby turtle!! The owner said that this turtle is going to grow up to be as big as the humongous turtles you see at the zoo! It's crazy how tiny it is right now!

Any time Rick lays on the couch, Garrett runs to the bookshelf,
grabs a book and runs to the couch and hops up right next to dad.

Sometimes I let Kimbri get in Garrett's crib with him and they read books and hang out together. One day they were in there for a whole hour! I kept checking on them and asked multiple times if they wanted out and they kept saying no. Ha! They are so m

Blocks are a favorite at our house. The kiddos love to build towers. They love dress ups, snuggling together, and playing outside. The last few pictures are from when Kimbri and Garrett were gathering the yellow flowers that had fallen of the tree in our backyard and playing with them.
