Wow what a trip

Probably my favorite picture of these two!
!!Thanks Cody and Celeste for a great summer!!
We miss you!
Just got the children's stats at the doctors last week (in Utah)
Armanie is 39lbs x 39''. She had a 4'' growth spurt between Jan and August
She started preschool and loves Mrs. Nelson but not 'Mrs Rebecci' which is the
same person a little jackal and Hyde? Maybe. She liked Mrs. Nelson because Locke was with her and then when he left she became Mrs. Rebecci. When asked if she likes preschool, she'll tell you, my Daddy left me and I was there all by myself!
She was very happy to be home in Provo but often asks about her Honey and Yaya
and wants to know if she can go to Rowdy's birthday party again!
She loves books. Today she made a tsunami mess in the office with books spread across
every inch of the floor. Then says Mom, I make messes and you are good at cleaning up.
You do that okay?!
(spinach berry smoothie Popsicle in his hand)
Rocco: 23lbs x 30''
Still a groover. Rocks out to just about anything that
makes a sound. Yesterday we were outside after it rained
and he started to bob his head to the rhythm of a drip.
Wrestles and laughs at us when we say 'moo'
Avid signer! With I love you, please, thank you and more in his
skill set he is quite the polite fellow.
Follows his sister's example and loves bux "books"
He's a friendly guy from a distance but becomes a clinger to M&D
when you come into he's personal space :)
A common scene in Justin Texas around
6:30 in the evening when Dad comes home.
Now that Rocco is a walker he doesn't need
much help with difficult things
He meets challenges with lots of bruises
and even more so curiosity.
He jumped out of the tub tonight without much
thought about what would happen after
he got over the side of the bath.
Trip to California
First day: Left Justin at 5:30 and drove until
the kids woke 8:30ish just outside of Amarillo
We stayed in Albuquerque that night 600+ miles
They were more than happy to get
off their boom-kissakissa's (as Armanie refers to it as)
In the Hyatt Regency
$26/per night via Priceline!!
Great view, freezing cold outdoor pool
Cozy beds=12 hours of sleep for big and small
On our way to Cecilla's Cafe
Holy Avadado! That's hot!
An A. shot
Day 2: Off to flagstaff. Hit rain and more rain dropped to low 60's
Good thing we had sweat-shirts for the kids
Locke and I were still cooling off from TX
Rocco learned how to use his "freeze ray"
in downtown Flagstaff
Overall our little ones became proficient in the car by
*entertaining themselves with limited resources
*sleeping when the other was singing at the top of their lungs
there are more new skills but it's getting late...
They loved Balboa
I thought the waves were going to sweep them
into the depths of the ocean!
Trip on the train with Papa And a ride home with Grandpa
Busy day for #1 and #2
