Ahh Success!

I have wanted a picture of Zachary that was worthy of being put in the living room for a long time. Zachary does not usually sit still long enough, or give a real smile on demand. A couple of days ago I told him I would like to get a picture of him with the tree and pretty leaves. He was o-kay with this idea; however, the same problems existed. I finally told him he could crawl under the tree. That was the secret, it actually kept him still. The picture on the left I really like, the one on the right shows his mischievous eyes. Both are better pictures than I have taken in quite awhile. Thanks Zachary!

Fall Fun!!

This fall we have had a lot of fun! Here is just a sample of the excitement we have found.

Playing in the rain. A downpour started on our walk home from preschool. So, since Zachary was already soaked both he and Eric had fun when we got home.

I found sparklers in a cleaning spree, they happen every once in a while.
The boys loved playing with them.

Wendy enjoying a beautiful warm October afternoon.

Zachary playing with the neighbors, and trying out skateboarding.

Eric and Dad posing on the frog at the Salt Lake Aquarium.

Zachary and Eric at the pumpkin patch and hay maze.

Zachary and Eric at the park. A 13-year-old boys soccer team came to practice, both Eric and Zachary loved helping them retrieve balls, and had a great time playing with them.

A Tired Boy

Both Zachary and Eric were very tired this afternoon, but would NOT sleep. Eric has begun resisting his afternoon nap, although we are still trying. They were both so tired and grumpy, I took them on a ride for the express purpose of putting them to sleep. It worked!! After about an hour and a half, Zach got up, but he was still groggy. After telling me he was still tired he fell asleep on the couch. So here he is, the only time he is not trying to be everywhere discovering everything, asleep.

Summer Dress

Wendy is such a cutie. She has started laughing, and we see her smile often. Here are a few pictures that show her and her fun faces. She loves sticking out her tongue and blowing bubbles.

Isn't she a doll!
