Best Birthday Gift. Ever.

This week was my birthday.

It was Chris' birthday too.

We got the BEST gift ever.

Fall.

Here is how we spent our day today.

It doesn't get any better than this.

Just a fantastic October weekend.

I love October. I think I have mentioned that before. This weekend was especially....super!

Thank you, Tori, for encouraging me to do my FIRST EVER run. I LOVED it! I can't wait to do more!

Thank you, sponsors, who helped PACN (Pregnancy Assistance Center North) raise over 25,000 dollars.

Thank you family for a great picnic at the park.

Thank you family for a wonderful evening out to dinner.

Wow. I am Blessed.

I told you I love October!

Steelers!

You can't really experience the fall without a great Sunday afternoon football (watching) party, right?

We got together with our other Steelers fans friends....to watch the game.

(I actually dont think I even saw 5 minutes of the game...hmn?)

?Maybe Sullivan was trying to put a paci in her mouth? Not sure...and I think Cam is "checkin' her out". Look out Miss Z.!

Feeding the Ducks

We are so lucky to live close to our friends so that when the weather (kinda) gets nice we can go on walks together. We even had a chance to stop and feed the mamma duck and her babies.

The boys were not afraid at all! They even did a good job of sharing their graham crackers....

We can't wait until our other friends move close by...

(The baby ducks took the snack right from his hand. So cute!)

This week we also had our 15 month checkup (even though we are 16 months).

Camden is 22 lbs

Sullivan 18 lbs.

They are doing great!

We are Rockin' ...and Walkin'

Thanks to our new chairs! Thanks, Grandpa for making them for us! We love them...

Oh, and also check out how close we are to walking. (so in other words I may not blog very often anymore because I will be too busy chasing around little boys...ha!)

Cam

Sullivan

all of our tricks....all of them.

The boys are learning lots of things every day. Ahhh. They can sign the motions for "more". They can (sometimes) sign "please". They can (sometimes) stand on their own for a few seconds. They can scale across the wall (while holding on). They can put their sippy cups in the little cup holder things on their highchair trays. etc. etc. etc.
These are all of the wonderful things they can do.

They can take off their own diapers when they get bored after their naps (illustration one) and throw it in their brothers crib (illustration two).
These are all of the "not-so-wonderful things they can do.

On a completely unrelated note...A little dinner date with mommy. Yummy! Love kids eat free nights!

(disclaimer: this event (the diaper incident) was actually Cam. Sullivan was just the innocent victim in this. Luckily the diaper was relatively clean.)

Play Dough. Yep. We tried it.

...and they loved it.
They squished it.
Rolled it.
(nibbled on it)
Stuffed it back in the container.
Mixed the colors (yikes!).
...all the while I was able to clean the floor.
It was so much fun to give them something new to explore.
