Four Little Men: October 2011

Apple Orchard

On the hayride to the apples.

Grandma Lenz was in the area and came to the Orchard with us!

My little monkeys!

If you collected 25 apples off the ground you got a sugar cookie...no surprise Jack was hard at work to get his cookie!

Our Youth Group went on our annual Bike Ride. This year Josiah got to go along thanks to some friends that let us borrow this tag along bike. Josiah was hesitate at first,but ended up having a GREAT day!

Josiah though he was so COOL to be able to hang out with these kids! :)

Samuel John

Here is our Sam at 6 months!

This boy is on the move!

So funny story about this "pose"

I do not leave cords that my child could choke on, like the one in the background, around all the time I promise!

I took Sam to his 6 month Health and Wellness check and the Doctor asked the routine questions including asking me if he could sit yet, to which I replied sheepishly, "no, he can't." As I was saying this I was holding him in a sitting position on the Doctor's table. I then let go (to prove that he couldn't yet) and TADAA!!! He sat!!! Thankfully my Doctor had a good laugh with me, that my child could indeed sit, I was just unaware of it!

In my defense I blame the BUMBO for this!

So at 6 months, Sam not only sits, he rocks back and forth and just shy of 7 months is officially on the move crawly. As you can see in the background...time for the baby gates!

He is my peanut though, carrying what little weight he has, in that smiley head of his! ;)

See, no cords!

This and That

So some friends of mine have been diving into the world of crafting...yes, during probably the busiest time of our lives. I guess though in a strange way it keeps us sane! :) So this is one of my first projects...

I saw on line a train/lego table that rolls under your child's bed. I loved how it could be put away our of sight, with out having to constantly pick up Josiah's legos. A few days later I came upon some old doors that my friend was throwing away. So with my handy man by my side (pictured above), I (with the help of a friend) got to work converting this door into a rolling train/lego table! :)

Josiah AND his mom loves it!

To add to our craziness we decided to try to sell these...unfortunately, no sells yet, but let me know if you are interested! I can give you a deal! ;)

I have been starting school with Josiah. We are keeping it very basic with letters, sounds, and math concepts. I told him we are going to do school at home and Josiah's response was, " MOM, this isn't real school it's just pretend school!" Guess Josiah is going to be playing pretend school for quit some time! Maybe if I could find a bus to drive him around the block a few times each day he would be convinced it's real school!
