Crushers

We just discovered Crushers fruit from Trader Joe's. I initially got them for Jack as a less messy applesauce. He has loved them so we expanded to carrot apple this week. Today during lunch Julia kept trying to grab Jack's crusher so I decided to let her try one as well. Well, she LOVED it! I was not prepared for her to have a full lunch with us yet, so no bib for her but she downed her crusher and wanted Jacks too! Yummy and less mess, what a great product for on the go this summer!!

7 Months and on the Move!

Julia was seven months old this week. All of a sudden she seems to all grown up! Julia enjoys sitting up and playing on her own and she has started to crawl. We have now entered a new level of chaos at our house.

Crawling!!










































A big smile after all her hard work!

Easter in the Desert

We spent Easter in Palm Desert with Grammy Elsa.

Jack at the Easter egg hunt. He was more interested in the candy inside than actually collecting the eggs.













































We tried to get a few good pictures of Jack and Julia in their Easter outfits. Jack decided it would be more fun to roll around on the grass with his sissy. Hmm not exactly the pictures I was looking for, but these two sure had fun!

We started out okay.....






























Uh oh, Jack starting to tackle.














Here I come sissy!















And the big tackle and roll!

















After the egg hunt we went to The Garretts for some yummy Easter brunch and a few more attempted Easter pics!

Palm Desert

We headed down south to Palm Desert to spend some time with Jeff's mom. We had a blast! Jack and Julia loved everything!
Jack driving Grammy Elsa's friend's cool golf cart. What a ride!
































Future golfer? Jack played on the gold course every night after dinner.














Pool Time! Julia spent some time watching with Grammy but she prefered to swim with Jack. Both kids love the water!

































Jack became quite the swimmer on our vacation. He loves to swim underwater now and seems to have no fear, which we think it good, but also kept us busy at the pool!
Jack with Daddy and Uncle Darren



















Sprinkler Fun!






























Swimming with our friends Jeff and Ryan Towne. Ryan and Jack are the same age and had so much fun playing cars, golf and swimming!
















Ready, set, jump!
































Julia decided sitting and watching was not very much fun so she tried out some of Jack's trucks.
