7 Peaks

We had fun at 7 Peaks with my family. Mike and I have taken the kids throughout the summer with the Pass of all Passes but this was our last time to go for the summer. We had a lot of fun, spent all day there, and by the end we were all completely exhausted and in bed by 9:00 that night.

Ty and Lucy

I got to babysit Lucy one day while Cassy moved. We had a lot of fun. She came over right before lunch and so we had nuggets, apples and popsicles for lunch. Then I turned on Sesame Street on for them and the fell asleep (yes both sucking their thumbs). The both took a nap then we went on a walk to Albertson's to get some bread for dinner. We came back and played in the sandbox. They had a lot of fun together copying each other. However, Tyson is a little bully pestering her and stealing her bear and laughing and picking on her. She took it quite well having two brothers of her own.

Miss Eliza

Just wanted to share a few pics of Eliza over the last couple of weeks. The curse has struck me I know that I get my camera out far less with Eliza than I did Tyson but here are a few fun ones.


Eliza fell asleep in this position. So tired!


When Eliza gets really excited she will move her arms and legs really fast and laugh real hard. When I was taking this picture Tyson was running up and down the hall and jumping over her, I was scared he was going to jump on her but she was laughing so hard at him.



Our cute Eliza scooting all over, but not crawling yet. Very soon I a sure of it.

Eliza does this all the time when she is trying to move. She gets up on her tipy toes and then falls back down.

I made banana bread and gave Tyson a slice which he ended up taking in the living room and leaving it on the floor. I went in the living room and found this. I now remember that I need to be really careful about small toys and needing to vacuum more often because Eliza is picking up everything and putting it in her mouth.
