The Kids

Well the kids are growing and I thought I'd write a couple things down since I know I'll forget later. Zach is now crawling. He's got a very good army crawl and he can run pretty fast in his walker. It's now to the point where he can only be in the walker supervised because otherwise he breaks stuff. He's not talking yet but he is trying. He makes a lot of noise. He likes opening doors for some reason has an obsession with toilets. Adri is at the "never shuts up" stage. I know one day when she doesn't want to talk to me anymore I'll miss it but right now she is a handful. She's trying to test the boundaries and likes to give me the stare down and do something when I tell her not to.

So here are some pictures of the kids from the month.

A couple weeks ago it got cold enough to put on sweaters during the day. Yeah life must be hard for those who actually live in the real cold.

Adri made herself a mustache and a beard with scraps for her art project.

Hiking behind the house. We were collecting golf balls.

At the Anthem Outlets. |Natalie asked if this tree is real and I laughed at her. I mean look at it. Doesn't that seem to ridiculous to be real. Well a couple days later when we were there for the amazingly boring lighting ceremony (I will never do that again) there was a sign saying the tree is real and they got it from the CA/Oregon border. I can see this tree from the first summit on Daisy Mountain, about 400-500 vertical feet from the top.

At a trading post next to the Rock Springs Café. This is a saguaro skeleton that they cleaned up and put a light in. I think it's way cool and one of these days I'm going to find a good skeleton to make my own lamp. Last time I was peeling away bark on one we had the bee incident though so that's gonna be a fun task.
