Morris Arboretum

We went to the new Treehouse Exhibit- soooooo awesome!!! Here we are up at the top of a beautiful tree with these pockets of hammocks! when you look down you can see how high up you really are!! it was uber relaxing. Theo and I had fun pretending he was a spider, a dinosaur, and squirrel.

Theo was an excellent squirrel.

We later walked into a rose garden with a fountain. Did i mention i happened to take the children here on a crazy hot day?? oops. good thing for the fountain. Theo LOVED the water!! he set a trend. soon, all the other children started in on the "Get Soaked" show! i had to intervene when he began to consider that being naked would feel even better! ha! keep those clothes on!

After the fountain, we hung out at the extraordinary train exhibit. We soon found a cozy hideaway spot under some trees and had a picnic near this sweet little stream. I feel so thankful for my motherhood journey. These moments, these boys...are effecting me deeply, and the being that i am constantly becoming. I feel so thankful.

Playing in the backyard

There were plumbers unloading their tools and equiptment from their truck. Theo was thus inspired.

...busted out the goggles.

Then he got naked and played in the hose.

He got mommy!

Playing at Nena and Pop-pop's

Joey and Theo are crusin' through Lansdowne.

Cuddle time. Nena's fav.

"Pop-pop, what are you doing?"

Tumblin' Wrestlin' Boys

Just a little wrestlin' time before bed. those boys!

First Tooth

Can you see it???? that's a happy tooth, right there.

Tonight

They were so cute tonight! Dad and Theo! Daddy was using the weedwacker and Theo grabbed his protective goggles. And before Daddy got home, we were playing on the sidewalk with the water hose. He was perfectly soaked!! shoes and all!! So from the hose to helping dad in the yard- he had a glorious evening. This is a pic of them coming into the house. Theo made sure Daddy wore his spare pair of goggles.

will i always hear his little voice pronouncing them as "gobbles" ?? hope so....

Baby Buddies

Asher and Phoenix definitely enjoyed eachothers' baby vibes today. Phoenix loved Ashers head. Asher is always up for a cuddle.

baby buddies hold hands...

baby buddies love to sit on eachother...

what a very lovely relationship that's just begun....:)

p.s. Elise and Theo ran around the house with no pants, jumped from crib to crib, ate snacks, danced in the living room, made play doh pies, and played the drums. Linda was at the dentist. not as fun. Drop those cuties off anytime!!!!

Poop!!!!

Big weekend, people! Theo is peeing and pooping in his potty. He runs to get us saying, "Look Look! I did it!" and we dash in to the living room where his potty hangs out:) We jump up and down, carry the potty to the toilet, flush, wave good-bye, and do more dancing/jumping up and down! We are all feeling so proud. Discreetly edited by mom.

Boys Club

Matt took the boys out to the Wissahicken Trails saturday morning. They went hiking and had a blast! Mommie was teaching prenatal yoga. we all met at the house for naps. ahhhh. there's something really sweet when a family of four naps together!

Yummm and Bouncing

my boy!

Running with our Neighbors

It was fun last night- Spontaneous running with Kumasi and Theo! And Asiyah got her baby fix holding Phoenix. We love our neighbors!!!

The History Books

I want to start putting some history out there. Time does fly. I think I might have lasted longer than Spinks did against Mike Tyson which is who he is training for in this picture.

Feeding lil' bro avocado goodness

Tool Man

We're playing in Theo's room- He had to go "to work" and fix things. I want to remember this, always. so great!! After work he had a luxurious nap. nice.

Playing at the Park yesterday

Paaaaaaark!!!

Ahhhh! My boys on the swings!! bog moment:) I totally loved pushing both of them at the same time.

Theo wanted to push Phoenix. Hilarious!

Theo's so into it!

We had the whole park to ourselves. We found a dying beetle (that we helped to the grass, said a prayer of gratitude, and wished it a peaceful passing), played in the swings, and did a whole make believe "house overlooking whales and sharks" game (of course). I felt so thankful to be a mom and to hang out with my guys today.
