this can't be comfortable!

This is how I found Ayda when I went to wake her up for church....doesn't look that comfy to me.

Oh what do you do in the summer time....

we pick strawberries with the cousins. It is that time of year again, Oregon is filled with berries of all kinds. We went yesterday to a berry patch and had a great time picking (and by picking I really mean eating) berries. I think we payed for a couple pounds of berries but the kids ate about 15 pounds. Ayda's box never had more than two berries at a time. Zander was content in the sling but we did have to try and stop him from sneaking a taste.

Happy Papa's Day!!

This post is dedicated to Travis aka Papa. We want him to know how much we love him and we also want him to know we can never thank him enough for how hard he works for our family!! We love you Papa!!

Zander's pictures

My sister Keely took pictures of Zander for his birth announcements. There were way to many cute pictures to post them all, but here are a few of my favorites.

You have got to be kidding me...

Zander and I were enjoying our morning together. He was nursing and we were having a nice resting in my bed and I decided to change his wet diaper. I was still half asleep and was getting ready to put the clean diaper on him when he started to grunt. This is nothing new, he is kind of a grunty kid. Well, this grunt was more than a grunt it was an explosion of poo. Yep, poo everywhere. It soaked me, all over my chest, legs, and arms. It was ALL over my bed, all over him. It happened so fast there was no time to react. I cried out for Travis to come help me get things cleaned up, he helped. Then decided it would be a good thing to document. I debated putting it on the blog, maybe it is too gross. But it seemed too good to pass up. So here are pictures of Zander the great and his amazing exploding poo.

sleepy bears...

I don't know what was going on with Ayda but this was DURING dinner. Also, a sleepy picture of Zander too, but that is nothing new.
