A Weekend at the Cabin with the Nelsons!

We had an awesome weekend at our cabin with Aaron's sister, Kelsey, and her family.  Kelsey has 4 girls, so Liam was outnumbered, but he didn't seem to mind!

 Making s'mores

 Exploring with Luci

 Zoë, Luci, Daphni, and Elli

 Liam testing out the lake water

 Zoë loved being in the lake!

 Liam decided the water was a little too chilly

Tuckered out!

Zoo Fun

 Last weekend we spent the morning at the zoo with some of our friends.

 Here's Zoë going in for a hug with her new buddy Maddie (my friend Angie's daughter who is 2 months younger than Zoë).

 Zoë and Jolie doing one of their favorite activities.  Snacking!

Week in Moscow

The kids and I were able to spend the week in Moscow and we had an awesome time with all of our family there.  Zoë couldn't get enough of her cousins.  Here she is leading the troops to the playground.

Zoë loved spending time at Ella, Emilia and Rose's house because she got to feed there hamster and jump on there trampoline!

 Liam was very entertained by his cousins as well.  Here he is admiring Emilia

 Zoë and Ella

Zoë snuggling with Great Grandpa Ray

 

 

Toward the end of the week, my brother Benny and his family (with nearly 5 month old twin boys) joined the party.  Liam learned to crawl while we were there and is showing off his new skill to Palouse and Sole.

Here's the whole crew of cousins on the Fountain side followed by a shot of the 2 sets of twins

Liam's First Haircut - June 1

 and after.

What a handsome little guy :)

Liam is 9 Months Old!

Our little rascal is 9 months old already!  He is a very sweet boy, but is extremely clingy to Mommy these days.  He is figuring out how to communicate and has a sharp, high pitched shriek to let us know when he is not happy with something (like when Mom leaves his sight or when he's in his high chair and doesn't have food in his mouth)!

Liam has figured out how to crawl, but can only go backwards at this point.  This is very frustrating to him as he gets further and further from what he is after - poor guy!

Outdoor Fun

 Liam showing off his physique!

Liam loves hugs from his big sister!

Feeding the Ducks and Geese

 Zoë was so excited to go feed the geese, that she got all dressed up for the occasion!

 After we ran out of bread, we stopped by the playground for some swinging and climbing.  Unfortunately, climbing and princess dresses don't mix well and Zoë ended up with this huge goose egg on her forehead - poor girl  : (
