Videos

Okay a few videos.

Here's Daniel writing stop yesterday.

and a video of him working on math.  I should note I don't force him to do any of this "academic" type stuff.  He legitimately loves it and asks to do it on repeat.  

I took this video because I love what his mouth/tongue do when he's coloring and concentrating so hard.

Writing his name a couple weeks ago.

And finally, Heidi talking on the phone.

Another photo dump

And somehow another month has gone by without my updating.  Here's a photo dump of our summer fun.  Will do a video dump next.

Thinking she's hilarious in her brother's shorts.

My two drummers.

Cut a slit in the top of a yogurt container.  Instant entertainment.

We went to the rodeo on July 4th!

Annual 4th of July fruit pizza.

Used some tape on the floor to make some roads for our town.  It's super fun and we can cover it up with the carpet when not in use.

This is why we don't paint very often..

Daniel loved working on some addition with these dot stickers.  PS all these cool preschooler type activities are not my own ideas.  I stole them and they happen to work for my kiddo.  He loves doing academic type things it turns out.

Texas Trip!

We had a great nearly 2 week trip to Texas.  Thankfully the weather was not so hot and we got a lot of awesome cousin time!  

Our kids were surprisingly great on the planes.  Daniel just zones in on the screen the entire time and luckily Heidi slept.  Our red eye was empty so we got rows to ourselves.  I was able to lay Heidi down on the seats next to me..glorious.

Our flight from LAX to DFW was majorly delayed, which wasn't ideal.  Luckily everyone fell asleep on that leg.

Of course we had to go to the splash park multiple times.

We celebrated Heidi's birthday a day early with biscuits and sausage gravy, eggs, mimosas, and cake.

Birthdays are exhausting.

Alex taught Daniel how to ride this bike (with training wheels).  I think I know what he might need for Christmas...

Future scientist?

The kiddos and I made the obligatory trip to In-n-Out!

We definitely missed Tom, who was in Scotland for work.

Any time I got them to nap at the same time it was cause for celebration.

We got to go to Grandma and Grandpa's farm twice.

We went to an obstacle gym, which both kiddos enjoyed.  Impossible to get a clear picture of either of them since they're always moving.

Obstacle gym wore them out.

Dance party!

...nursing is so peaceful.

This is what happens when you poop through all the extra clothes I packed on our daytrip to Valley View.  You end up in your little sister's extra shorts...

I was worried about the flight home because we had 3 different legs and it was 18 hours door to door...but both kiddos did awesome.  Heidi was a champ!  Daniel watched TV the entire time (yikes) and only fell asleep as we touched down on Maui..not kidding.  He was super well behaved but obviously in a weird funk of watching too much TV and not sleeping enough.

We had a great trip!  We're excited to see the Torockovs in just a few short weeks when they come out to Maui for a visit!
