Side Note: The pictures are not in chronological order, or any order for that matter.
On Sunday, Rob and I decided to take the kids over to Pinnacle Mountain to walk the Kingfisher Trail. It is a scenic loop, with lots of opportunities to take photos. If only Max would have cooperated! A nice couple took this picture of all us. It was the only picture, so while we are not all looking and smiling at the camera, at least we are all in the photo!
I took a picture of Rob with the kids.
And Rob took a picture of me with the kids.
A couple of weeks ago, I realized that Kate loves to roll a ball back and forth. I will shamefully admit, I thought rolling balls back and forth was only a "boy" thing. However, I could not be more mistaken. Kate was all smiles as we played "pass." Kate also loves eating Max's tractors/cars.
I have been wanting to get out and explore all the things Little Rock has to offer. A couple of weekends ago, we decided to go to Heifer Village. It was very interesting. To sum up what they do, Heifer provides sustainable resources to those in need. Here I am showing Max and Kate a mosquito net.
Max turned two on June 24. He woke up at the crack of dawn (seriously- 5 am). Rob was up getting ready, so I decided to make Max's requested breakfast of oatmeal pancakes first thing. I also had Max open a few presents before Rob left for work. Max had a fantastic birthday. He was so excited with his gifts and the activities for the day he did not take a nap. We gave him a doctor set, books, clothes, puzzles, tractors, and a bat. He was thrilled.
I took him to the zoo for his birthday. Here he is posing with a tractor on a big rock found at the entrance.
Max and Kate both love watching the penguins. Typically, the penguins are in the water and enjoying looking at the people!
Make a wish!
We go to the pool a lot. I was worried that Kate would not like the water because of her arm, but she has loved it! For a long time she would not splash the water with her left arm, but as of 2 weeks ago that has changed. YAY!
Ron, our neighbor, came with us to the pool one evening. Max loves hanging out with Ron.
Judy, Ron's wife, also came up to the pool. Kate was surprisingly calm while Judy held her. Kate has "stranger danger" and cries when anyone but her parents hold her. You can see Max on the diving board in the background.
Max LOVES jumping off the diving board. Every time we drive past the pool, I hear him in the back seat saying, "Bye diving board. See you soon!"
We went to a Travelers baseball game with some tickets from Rob's work. It was hot, but the kids had a fun time.
We have a lot of family fun. It seems like the weekends always fly past.
