Duck Bump

Yesterday Austin was goofing around and fell. He hit his head on his chair which resulted in a big goose egg on the back of his head. Today he was goofing around again and I asked him what happened yesterday when he was engaging in such monkey business. He said he slipped and hit his head. At this point Carter chimed in saying, "Yeah, and you got a duck bump."

And now please enjoy a totally unrelated picture taken of them back in July after hair cuts and a long bath.

Stuff (May-July)

Wow, this is my fourth blog post in 2011. What can I say, I'm really good a blogging. Not really, but I'm going to try to do better.

This post is going to be mostly pictures. I finally downloaded our memory card so I'll probably cover a pretty big chunk of time. Here we go.....

This summer we spent some time at the beach. The boys love going to the beach. Here are some shots we took on Memorial Day.
Austin is our little "dude". It always makes me chuckle when he puts on his hat and sun glasses. He typically walks with a little swagger and has crazy hair but you add the shades and hat and it's a riot. (If you look closely you can see my big pregnant reflection in his glasses.)
Zach was very sweet to play life guard with the boys down by the water while I sat in the shade. For almost two hours Austin filled that bottle up with water and then would walk over to some hole Carter had dug and dump it in. Back and forth for two hours at least.

Carter is a ham for the camera. Almost every picture of him is goofy.

As a reward this summer the boys got to make oobleck (corn starch and water). They loved it. I would recommend making it but play with it outside to save yourself hours of clean-up.

We took our yearly trip to Six Flags. Zach's mom was a trooper to come along. I couldn't go on any of the rides so she got to go with one of the boys. It was great!

While Zach's mom was here we tried to get some updated pictures taken. This is the best we got.

We went to a Cubs Game.

Thanks to one of the partners at Zach's firm they were great seats.

The boys favorite parts were the foam finger/claw and the ice cream they got.

In July we went on a little trip to Milwaukee. It was a nice little escape.

While we were there we went to the Harley Davidson Museum. It was really cool, but hard to get a descent photo in there because of the lighting. This is one of the very few pregnancy pictures we've got of me.

We also went to the Jelly Belly factory. The boys loved it.

Popsicles on the porch are a summertime must.

I think I'm going to have to do this in two different posts to avoid technical difficulties. Watch for more to come soon.
