Greenlake Tuesdays

Tuesday mornings we run Greenlake with our friend Courtney and her three kids. Courtney and I get some exercise and get a chance to catch up while the kids enjoy a ride. After we hit up Starbucks and the kids get a snack. I look forward to this every week!

All five kids enjoying snack time at Starbucks!

Courtney's adorable three!

My kiddos!

Big Boy Bed

Jack moved into his big boy bed last weekend. He was SO EXCITED!! He even shared his bed with his Sissy!

Julia helped too

Jack's new bed

Jack so excited to try out his new bed!

As with anything, Jack wanted to share his new bed with his Sissy. Jack is constantly saying, 'and Sissy too'. Here they are cuddling in bed.

Julia getting a little squeezed in this pic, but....

She got him back with the hair pull

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.
