Swimming Baby!!

Last week I talked to the teachers at Joli's swim school, and they said it would be fine if Markus and I swam while Joli was in her class. Markus is so cute in his swim shorts!
Although I had a hard time getting a picture of it, Markus loved swimming and splashing in the water!I got a few pictures of Joli's lesson, too.
Markus was a bit distracted by his big sister.



Mmmmmmm, yummy pool water.




Joli played with us after her class.

I don't know why I think this picture is so cute.



I found another play pen!
Markus just loves Brody. He likes him even more when he's safely tucked in his crate.


Such a fun day!

Lots of Family Time

The kids and I have spent the past few weeks hanging out in bed as long as possible in the morning. Here are a few pictures of us snuggled up.


Yesterday we went to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. It was Joli and Markus' first time. They had such a great time!










A few weeks ago I found an 18" baby doll on sale at Target, and since Joli has a handful of doll clothes that fit that size doll and didn't have one, I picked it up for a rainy day. Well today it rained! She was thrilled when I pulled it out of the closet.
The doll came with a bottle that she tried out at first.
Then she decided that she would save the bottle in case I was babysitting and that she would just breastfeed the baby!
Joli was so cute with her baby. While I was making lunch she said "you don't need to make anything for my baby, she just had some breast milk"! Markus has been unusually cranky lately. I'm fairly certain it's because he wants to be able to get around and just hasn't quite figured out how to crawl. He flips and spins all over the floor, and can even scoot backwards, but actually crawling just hasn't happened yet.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to make Joli a "costumes" book. She's always in something!
Tonight Joli and I watched the new Alice in Wonderland movie. It's become our little "family movie night" tradition to have popcorn with our movie, but it's really hard with Markus, so tonight he got to have a little bowl of cheerios.



Tomorrow will be more fun pictures!

Tangled Again

I needed to get my car serviced, and since there's a shopping center down the street from the dealership, we walked there. I figured it'd probably be cheaper to go see a movie with the kids than shop so we saw Tangled again! We were the only ones in the theater and the kids had a great time!


After the movie we walked back to wait for our car.

Joli was excited to be home. I think I'm going to make a book of all her outfits and call it "Styled".
