Lunch in New York City at Johns Pizzeria.
Touring a battle field in Princeton.
Old Fashion fun!
Jaren napped through most of the morning!
We loved getting to know Kristin. The boys loved all the attention. Thank you Randy!
Today we had our first visit from friends in New Jersey. Erin and Tyler Wittwer recently accepted a job at Toys 'R Us in Wayne, NJ, and were in town this week looking for housing. We had lunch at a little pizzeria in a neighborhood near Newark and then they took off for home, but they'll be back! We are so excited to have old friends nearby, and we look forward to doing some fun things with them before we leave for Puerto Rico in January. Nick and Tyler already committed to taking Erin and I to Wicked in September.
Owen and Corbin were very excited to hang out with their old buddy Jackson.
Jaren has begun rolling multiple times. We leave the room for just a few minutes and hear him whimper because he has gotten himself stuck under the couch, table or even wedged against a wall. We are headed into the wonderful world of babyproofing our house!
He has also started kind of sitting up. He does pretty well if there is a toy between his legs. When he loses focus he does a cute "timber" thing!
Here is Cody, Corbin, and Owen! Cody was the zoo expert and acted as our guide, telling us what was next on the list!
These are the naked mole rats. They were pretty cute and fun to watch!
My favorite part was the monkeys, especially the two I got to take home!
Thanks Rebecca! We had a great time and enjoyed catching up!
Owen and Corbin we so excited to see "Rexy"!
Finding "Dum Dum" was a must. It was the only time we could get the boys to hold still long enough to take a family picture.
While they were doing my hair I asked if they wanted to have a movie night. They got excited and asked if we could watch Star Wars. Then they asked if I could please where my hair like Princess Leia's! This was the best I could do (especially since I haven't seen the movie in awhile)!
I took my three boys to dinner last night. On the way out of the restaurant a lady started laughing and said, "You look like you just stepped out of a fairy tale, Pippi Longstocking!" (I personally would have preferred Cinderella.) Then as she passed and saw the tree boys, she said, ". . .and The Brady Bunch." I just laughed! Am I getting too old for braids?
There is a pop up fountain close by, and the boys had a blast running and getting wet.
Showing off their muscles!
Look closely at Corbin's feet. He was having a little too much fun in my closet!
After he took my nylons off he put them on his hands as gloves, silly boy!
Jaren has been such a good baby, we are so blessed. He has been rolling over for a month now and loves it when his brothers take time to talk and play with.
Jaren was sleeping on the floor until we borrowed a crib. I wasn't able to get to him right away, so I sent Corbin up to help him. When I got up there Corbin was telling Jaren stories.
Best buddies
Where is Jaren? Jaren is mommy's little helper at dinner time.
The boys were playing with Jaren.
He has been doing the funniest thing. He really wants to sit up, so he does these crunches. We call him our yoga baby! (It is hard to tell from this angle.) He has really good form.
