Opitus & Ni-nickers

The kids have really been a lot of fun lately. They are continuing to talk more & have more opinions- which, so far, has been a good thing. Austin is obsessed with trucks, tractors, trains, planes and anything else that will move. He has learned all the different trucks in his truck book and walks around saying, “Backhoe. Garbage Truck. Car Carrier. Tanker.” My two favorite words they say right now are Addison’s “opitus” (octopus) and Austin’s “ni-nickers” (cement mixer).

Austin had some rain boots handed down to him, and Addison loved them so much, we had to get her her own. They are so funny playing in them.

If you look closely, you’ll notice Addison’s face is blue in this picture. She had a cupcake at school, and after they cleaned her face, it was still blue. Thankfully the rest came off in the bath.

And here’s Austin “helping” Daddy with a project. He was so funny wanting to look at all the tools and nuts and bolts. He kept inching closer & closer, pointing at everything. I think it took everything in him to not play with them.

Florida Trip

We went to the beach a few weeks ago with Wes's family and had a great time! Our trip last year was a little painful, so we weren't sure what to expect this year. It was still a lot of work with two little ones, but much more enjoyable! Addison loved the beach from the beginning. Austin took a day or so to warm up to it, and then was constantly asking to go "Beach? Ocean? Waves? Kel-cop-ker [helicopter]?"
Austin also learned to jump in the pool (what were we thinking?) and now jumps from any raised surface he can find around the house saying, "Three...Jump!"




Just a little sassy.








Matt & Ethan were so proud of themselves for pushing BopBop in with his clothes on!


That ice cream is so cold! But you'd better believe he kept going back for more!
