Busy Week!

Zack and I have entered a time of the year where things are really busy at both of our jobs.  It seems that every day we are checking with each other to see who has the kids and if we will all be together for dinner, bath times and bedtimes.   I had two evening events for work last week.... the boys went with us for one of them (skate night) and the other one I opted for Zack putting the boys to bed while I managed the parents and students at our school as they rotated between sessions for math night.  It seems that since we are so busy, we are trying to enjoy any moment we have together as a family of four!  Here are some pictures from our week... from playing at the house, to bath time, a trip to the science center and visiting with family from out of town!  As far as milestones go.... Maddox is now saying "bye bye" and it is the cutest thing ever!  He usually waves while saying it and sometimes will wave with his palm out and sometimes with his palm in as if to say "bye bye" to himself!  Zander didn't really start talking until he was two and I feel that Maddox might be the same way.  Now it is hard for Zander to stop talking!  I can't believe I ever worried about it! haha  Maddox tries to do everything his brother does.... he is getting good at climbing up the two steps of our slide and going down the slide.... either the conventional route or a "creative way".... just depending on how "graceful" he was getting to the top of the slide!  He also loves "climbing" up the stairs in our house... as long as mommy or daddy is close by, of course!!




Daddy is explaining to Zander how the funnel works for his penny to go around and around.... this is probably Zander's FAVORITE part of the science center!  Mommy just has to remember to bring some change!

 The octopus was very active today!  Usually it is hiding in one of the corners!  Zack took the opportunity to have Zander count its 8 tentacles!







Zander's second favorite thing is the penny machine where we can smash a penny and get a design from the science center!  (Again it is helpful to bring some extra change!)
Earlier today we met up with my dad's cousin and her daughter!  I have the best memories with them as a child and it was so great seeing them!  We realized we haven't seen Karen and Kayce in 10 years!  A lot has happened since then!  We tried to get a few pictures of the next generation.... some kids (Emerson in particular) were easier to photograph than others (my boys!) haha
