Slacker Mom

Okay, it's been, what, almost two months since I last posted? I've been such a slacker about taking pictures of the kiddos.  What has happened since I last wrote?  At the ripe ol' age of 17 months my two sweet twinkies started walking!  I could really tell their personality differences with this.  Jaxson has been practicing forever.  He was very timid and needed lots of encouragement and practice back and forth between Ethan and me.  That's how the older boys were too.  Zane, on the other hand, who had been slower at picking up the large motor stuff with his legs, just decided a week or two after Jaxson started walking that he wanted to do it too, and just did.  I don't think he walked one time between Ethan and me to practice.  So weird! Now they toddle after each other around the house, and it's pretty cute!  BUT it makes it a bit more challenging to go out in public anymore because of course they are not content to just sit in the stroller and want to run in two different directions away from me.  Yikes.

Here's some randomness from this fall....
     

The babies love wearing my sunglasses.  What a stud!

 The big boys love making beards and hair with soap bubbles in the bath.

 One day they were re-paving the road in front of our house.  The boys were captivated.  I wasn't fast enough to catch Cameron in this shot.  But they were all so cute with their faces plastered to the window watching all the busy-ness outside.

The babies love wearing these little plastic hard hats, which I think is funny because the big boys have never been interested in putting them on at all.  Different strokes for different folks, I guess!

Yikes!  It's the attack of the black bean boy!

We visited the dairy during one of the last warm days of fall (without my sister and her kids, which is shocking!)  The babies loved playing on the tractor and thought the animals were hilarious.  

Their profiles are so similar, don't you think?

When we visited my parents I got one blurry shot of the cousins.  Not too bad with six moving targets!
