Is It Fall Yet?

I enjoyed summer, but I am so ready for fall. That's the last season that we have not seen in our new home. I am so excited!!! I love the fall, its my favorite season. Since it is so close to fall, I decided to start decorating the house early. I also love to decorate the house. We have been having some fall type weather too. The nights and mornings have cooled off where you need a sweater. Then today it has been overcast all day and rainy. It was so enjoyable to have a fire going in the fireplace. I am so ready for fall. Here are some cute pictures of Paul helping me decorate.

Having Fun

Some fun pictures of the boys!!!!

Working In The Yard

We have been spending alot of time in our backyard getting it ready for winter. I love it when we can spend time together as a family this way. We don't do alot of things together as a family because of the shop. It's nice too because my mom likes to take the boys outside and that gives me time to do things that don't get done :).The boys loved riding in the wheelbarrow.

Hanging With The Bookmans

We did not get to celebrate the 4th of July because of the rain. So we got together with the Bookmans (a family from our church). We had to fire them off at their house because its legal there. We had a great time. The boys loved the fireworks. This is the first time that they have seen them. Peter loves lights and loved looking at them. We had to be careful about letting him get too close :). Here are some pictures and movies of our day. The group playing with the glow rings. How to keep track of Peter in the dark. Peter and the glow rings. The glow rings were a big hit. Paul looking at the fireworks. Playing with sparklers. having fun. Grandpa and Peter. Grandpa held the boys and did the fireworks with them.
This one (the second movie) was of a hummer that was supose to run around and then blow up. My mom was very excited about that one (she does not like hummers). It did not work that well, but we all enjoyed it.


This next one down is of Peter. You can't see him very well, but he is fasinated by the glow sticks. He can't decided which one to pick up first.

This one is so cute. I call it Peter's happy dance.

Another Day At The Zoo

We went to the zoo again yesterday. It is very nice to be able to have passes to go whenever you want. I know that it would be hard to have to buy a ticket everytime just to go in and know that you could only stay a few hours. We try to leave early and get there so that we can look at some animals before we have to go home for naps. Hi mom, we're ready to go to the zoo and we are so excited about going!!!!! We got to see some animals that we were not able to see the last time that we went. These are for you, William. Paul petting a baby wombat. This place was cool. You went in and there was tons of birds flying around. They even had it where you could feed the birds. The boys liked this place and looking at all the birds. We also saw some sea otters, mountain loins, and a snow lepard (sorry the pictures did not turn out :( ).Joshua and Paul looking at the mountain lions. We also saw a moose. They had a bald eagle exibit. Grizzly Bears. Porcupines. Did you know that they climbed tress????
