Aunt Melanie's Pool Party

So better late than never. The pool party may have been in August, but at least I am getting something posted. These are pretty clear expect maybe the ones of papa with Wil's float acting as a hat for sun shade :)

Funny Face

We made a face in Reagan's giant pancake, just like (sorta) the one from her High Five magazine. Too bad we had to substitute some cut up pink marshmallows for the banana smile :)

Blackberry Picking...yummy!

We had a fun time picking blackberries with the Schroeders. Reagan was a pro from her raspberry picking experience 2 yrs ago and we picked just over 4 lbs in the heat in about 45 mins...not too shabby.

I don't think Wil ate a single berry but he sure did squish a lot of them and get filthy in the process LOL!

PAT Messy Night 9/28

OK, so I know I have missed some things and will make it back to play catch-up once again, but I wanted to post some pictures from messy night that was put on my Parents as Teachers. We were not expecting much from Reagan since she doesn't like the idea of getting messy or having work with glue or paint that take time to dry (she is getting better about it, but still not there yet). Wil had a fun time with bubbles, stringing pasta on pipe cleaners and they both had fun sidewalk chalking and washing babies.

We also ran into Miranda and Patrick with Philip and Joseph getting a taste of their first messy night and we saw Heather and Bob with all 3 kiddos in tow!

The Future Genius

I'm going to attempt to upload another video and hopefully this one isnt' too big and will upload without me having to do much modification. This is my second of such videos...last time Wil was using his hand and today he was using the table to assist him. My future genuis (with an adorable little grin!)!

Wil's Jargon Video

Shane and Wil are playing with the pizza toppings and Wil is just babbling on and on.
I also got him to do a few of his baby signs at the end of the video (he shows off hi and bye, please and cracker(very modified)).

Picnic in the Park

We were able to have a picnic lunch with Miles and Erica (and Miss Shannon) again this summer while he was in his week long summer preschool. Last year Reagan's 3 week playschool was the same week and the part we choose is in between the 2 schools, but this year Reagan's school didn't start until the week after his.

The kids had so much fun running around and playing "fire" with the trees and really had a great time...and it wasn't too hot!
