Feeding the ducks

I had some moldy bread, so we decided to go feed some ducks out in Bloomington hills. Most of ducks were swimming when we arrived but once they figured out that we had food they began to swarm us. Easton was a little scared of them considering that they were almost as big as him. He felt more comfortable in the stroller. They were not scared of us at all. I guess there are probably plenty of people that stop and feed them

Lonely

Okay, I am so lonely and I am missing my husband. He works so much that we seriously don't ever see each other. He worked last night and slept most of the day today, he went back to work tonight for a 24 hour shift. He will be home tomorrow night, then he goes back to work monday morning and works another 24 hour shift. He will be home tuesday to sleep. I might see him as he ventures to the kitchen for a some cookies and milk. He goes back to work tuesday night and works another 24 hour shift and will finally be home again wednesday evening. I go back to work thursday, friday and saturday. Zac works friday and saturday night as well so we don't see each other after I get off work only to pass the kids off to each other. confusing isn't it. Is it Healthy to work so many hours? 96 hours in one week!!*sigh* I sure feel for him, he is going to be exhausted not to mention that he does this almost every week and he watches the kids on the days that I work!! I wouldn't want to work that many hours. He sure is a hard worker and I miss him.

Flowers

I am so proud of my planting abilities this year!!!

Taking the dogs swimming

Rex
Shirley (Zac named her shirley because he said she was to shirley catch a duck) haha

Love those cheeks! He plays so hard that his cheeks turn bright red!
Sweet boy

So, whenever Zac is home we spend a lot of family time out at the Ivans Reservoir training the dogs. We have two dogs Shirley and Rex. They are the best dogs. They are so obedient and are really doing good with their retrieves. The boys absolutely love it! Easton enjoys standing by his dad helping him call the dogs and he loves to throw rocks in the water. Jaxon just enjoys life and is always pretty content wherever he is. I just really enjoy just being together as a family and it really is a beautiful place to be. Nice and quiet!

Easton's

First Day of preschool!

I decided to put Easton in Preschool one day a week for a couple months, then he may go twice a week. Today was the first day and he loved it. I was so scared that he wouldn't like it or that he wouldn't be ready for preschool. His teacher said that he really did good. I thought it would be good for him to be around other kids his age and have a break from mom. There are 8 kids in his class and he is the youngest. There is another little boy that is 2 months older than him. The other kids are 3 years old. Today he learned about dinosaurs and he made a dinosaur. He was so excited to show daddy his dinosaur when we got home.

Easton just loves Jaxon! Today while we were driving home from Costco these cute little boys were laughing at each other. It was so funny.They would take turns screaming and laughing. I love happy moments like these. I love that they are so close in age. I hope they grow to be best friends.
Easton is talking and saying the funniest things. Today at lunch he said "Mommy come sit on my lap and have some lunch" as he is patting his lap. So funny!
I love these boys!
Zac and I were driving around looking at houses for sale out in Winchester. I was talking about how nice it would be to have some horses and chickens. Easton says really loud "and goats" I didn't realize he was listening to what we were saying.Then he kept saying "see forces (horses)please" He loves farm animals right now. Especially sense we took him to Thanksgiving point.

Isn't Jaxon so cute

Making Baby Food

So, making my own baby food has almost come to an end as Jaxon is getting more and more interested in eating regular food. I can't believe he is now eating pretty much anything that we are eating. I am still feeding him baby food in between bites of regualar food but he gets upset and doesn't like it anymore. I want to thank my Sister-in-law Meghan for introducing me to making baby food. I enjoy making it and it really was not that hard. I truly recommend it to everyone.
