Feeding the Ducks

We have quite a few new pictures. We must be crazy about our kids or something...
Josh is really a wonderful big brother!


Several members of our ward gave us some presents when Kelsey was born. We enjoy the "Hungry Caterpillar" that was the size of Kelsey.
Kelsey loves her baths!

I believe this was the first smile caught on film! (June 2) I love how her eyes twinkle!


Josh got some new shirts and we think he looks SO handsome. We've noticed recently that he had a lot of smiling pictures prior to Kelsey's birth and very few after. Correlation?



I think she kind of looks like a little kitten when I hold her like this!


For his second birthday (today) we bought Josh a basketball hoop. We gave it to him early because we were so excited and he hasn't stopped playing with it since.





Several days ago, we started hearing really strange rattling noises when we tried to run on the treadmill. Upon inspection, we found 12 of Josh's cars that had been poked through a small hole in the bottom of the treadmill!


More smiles!
We were "teaching" Kelsey to pray.


This week was Free Week at the Shedd Aquarium. I was able to take the kids and meet up with Mallory Morse on Monday. We waited in a very long line, but enjoyed seeing the turtles (snapping and sea), lizards and lots of teeny fish. It was pretty crowded, but it was fun to get to be with Mal.




On Thursday, Emily and I planned to go, but we got there a little late and the lines were ridiculously long! We didn't figure on waiting 45 minutes in the stroller line or 2 hours in the regular line. Instead, we walked down to the edge of Lake Michigan, fed the ducks, and took pictures. Joshua thought it was the greatest thing to feed those ducks!














Brim was a good little sport, even though he is in a "hate car seat and stroller" stage.


Poor Josh was so exhausted and Emily was laughing her head off trying to keep him awake. It was pretty cute, so we took a picture.


As a part of her birthday, I took Emily out to Qdoba for lunch. We love that Brim and Josh are friends.

I love the cars in the treadmill story and trying to keep Josh awake picture, poor guy. I laughed outloud! I understand trying to keep him awake until you can get him home and in bed so he gets a real nap!

Pulling cars out of the treadmill?! *snort* Sounds like the little treasures we used to pull out of the central vacuum system at our house! What is it with kids and stuffing small objects into small holes?! Haha! So cute!
