Camping

Our first trip as a family of 4 was this past weekend. We went 'camping' in Colorado with Chris' family. Xander objected to our lack of sleeping in tents on the ground, but other than that a wonderful time was had by all! Here are some highlights...

Lots of walks...

 Fishing with Dad...

Ice Cream...

 Throwing ALOT of rocks in the river...

They had a really great park...



Isabelle always smiling...

A wonderful trip!

May

May has almost come and gone with out another blog posting. So much to do, so much to clean, but that doesn't mean I haven't been snapping photos like crazy!

Isabelle is growing like a weed and will be 6 months old this month! I just packed up her 3-6month clothes, I can't promise a tear wasn't shed. It's amazing that my last baby is already almost 6 months old, no longer a new born, almost able to sit up. She's rolling like crazy, and wants to crawl, but more importantly she wants to walk. I guess that's what happens when you have a big brother running circles around you. She's obsessed with Bailey, but we are pretty sure she just wants to eat him, a picture to follow, the cuteness at the expense of my messy house : )

Xander is doing wonderful as always. But if anyone wondered which is more difficult a newborn or a 3 year old, the three year old wins in this household! ha ha I'm constantly amazed by his innocence and intellegence. He's currently in love with sharks and dogs, he also has a fondness for fish. He has requested a shark birthday party this year, but we'll see if that's still his reply in another month or so. He has also requested a pink poodle for his birthday. He loves going to the park and he's very good at making friends. He's always stopping to see what's wrong with a sad child. We recently had a VERY complicated discussion about strangers and friends, as he thinks everyone is his friend, an idea I hate having to crush so so very much. But at least for now he still says I'm his best friend and thinks I'm the "MOST amazing cook in the ENTIRE world" so I'm happy! haha

Now the pictures... Enjoy!
