Climbing the Ladder

A few weeks ago, we decided we needed to cut some branches off a tree outside our kitchen window. The kids were playing on the ground, or so we thought! We were paying attention to the tree and when we turned around, we saw Cruz climbing up the ladder. I was so shocked to see him so high up. We laughed because he can't walk, but he can climb up ladders!






Tracy Aviary

A few days after Mace's birthday, we went to Tracy Aviary with our friend, Erin and her two kids. I had never been there, but it was really fun. Mace and Cruz seemed to love it. We saw several different types of birds and  owls! We went to a bird show, which was really fun. I am glad we decided to go.






























More funny things Mace has Said

Mace came up to me and rubbed his into my cheek. When he was done, he said, "That's a bugger kiss Mommy!"

We had just  got the the store and I was planning to stay in the car with Cruz. Mace wanted to go with Tyler and after Tyler told him it was okay, Mace looks at me while holding his toy. He says, "Here's a great idea, you can hold this, Mommy!"

Mace's mispronounced, but cute words:
Motorcycle- Mogercyder
Excuse me- Sue me (Really funny after he passes gas or burps!)
Naked- Maked


We love to play "oh yeah?!?" together. ("oh yeah?!?" is a game where one person says, "you are a _____!" and the other person says "oh yeah?!? you are a _____!" The game starts over and we play for a long time. It is usually really funny to see what Mace will come up with.) Once, Mace said, "Oh yeah, you are dirt and Whitney is a flower!" Oh thanks buddy :)

Mace was holding on to the fridge door handles with his feet up on the fridge, I yelled "I am getting so strong!!"

Mace made up a really cute song. "I love you so much. I love you so eber." He was singing it over and over again. (So eber is how he says forever.)

Mace made up another song. "Child. Child. You are a child. I am a child." It is really funny to watch him sing!

Mace has been going through this phase. Sometimes it is a struggle, but sometimes it is really funny. He likes to argue with us. I don't know if he just likes things worded a different way or what, but oh well. Hopefully this phase passes soon. Here is an example, I was looking at a box. I noticed Mace was trying to look at it too. I said, "Here Mace, do you want to look at it?" He said, "No! I just want to see it for a minute." When I said that it was the same thing, he said, "No it isn't, mommy."

Summer time and a Party

One of our friends, Jeff, had a birthday at the end of July. We met at a park and had dinner together. It was a really fun evening!

Jeff and Erin's cute baby, Miles

Baby hugs

Sweet little Ruby

They brought a pinata! 






It was cute as Ginger grabbed her shoes, passed one to Mace and they both started filling up their shoes with candy.

We saw a sun dog, which is a rainbow near the sun. It angles toward the sun. Look close at the center of the picture and you will see it.

Cruz put part of the pinata on, as a cute little hat!
