August Activities

What have we been up to in August? Here are some of the highlights...Let's see...the boys got Batman tattoos from their Grammie (not real of course).

Matt has continued to work on fixing up our back yard. We've been getting more dirt to fill in low areas and he's been repairing our fence. He also started putting in a small fence for a vegetable garden. The boys were hitching a ride on the wheelbarrow.

Matt also went on a back packing trip and I've continued to move forward with my doula business. I have a birth coming up at the end of next month that I'm really excited about!

Big Shoes to Fill

The boys have big shoes to fill- Matt's!

Brotherly Love

These pictures of the boys just warm my heart. In case you are wondering why it looks like Brady is choking Jarin, this is what he does when I ask him to "put his arm around his brother". I can't resist dressing the boys in identical clothing. I know it is cheesy and they might not like it later but for right now, they don't even know. I got these cute pjs from good friends of ours. Their boys are close in age like our boys and their youngest is just a year older than Brady so we get tons of handed down clothes! What a blessing!

Dangerous Antics

My boys are up to trouble again! This time I caught them on film doing cute and crazy things. The last section of the video is of all of us along with my brother and sister-in-law (they are expecting a baby end of October!) on our back patio on the 4th of July. Jarin and Brady both did sparklers and those popping things that you throw down. I was surprised that they weren't scared, actually, I was scared that they weren't scared...

Jarin's First Haircut

Well the day finally came when Jarin's hair was long enough to cut. His hair has grown so slowly and unevenly. He had an awesome mohawk/mullet combo! So his first haircut was a few weeks ago! 17 month old Jarin finally has a little boy haircut.

Playing with Bradley

My friend Dorothy and I switch off watching each other's kids while we have work meetings. It is nice to have that option since we both work mostly from home. Matt and I also switch off with Dorothy and her husband Gabe for date nights. Bradley is almost 2 so he is right between the ages of my boys. They get along great!
