A trip to our pool

On August 7th we walked to our pool. Joshua loves going and Will doesn't care too much for the water, but we enjoyed our time and I think Joshua had a blast.

Will is 15 months old!

August 5th Will turned 15 months old. He is now crawling like crazy and loves to crawl up stairs. He can now pull him self up to standing and is walking along furniture, he can even walk while holding onto our hands now too. He is jibber jabbing more and more but hasn't learned any new words. He does have an opinion though and I'm sure the words will come soon. He is a fairly good eater, better than Joshua at this age and I'm hoping he won't be such a picky eater like Joshua is now. He gets really upset when I sit down at the computer and crawls over to me as fast as possible, then complains loudly. So I haven't been at my computer much when he is awake. That is why these posts come in groups.

We went to Laramie for Will's well visit last week on the 11th. The visit went well and it was great to see the doctors again, I love living this close to our doctors there.

Weight: 21 pounds 2 ounces
Height: 31 7/8 inches
Head 50 Centimeters

We didn't get any immunizations there since we live in Colorado and the immunizations are state funded. We will make a visit to our local public health for those.

Ice cream truck

After the Childrens Museum I took the boys to my sisters house in Arvada, Colorado. Just as we arrived an ice cream truck was driving by. It had the classic ice cream truck music and Joshua thought it was cool. He has never bought ice cream from a truck before so I thought it would be fun for him. The truck stopped for us and he got the cheapest thing there, a cotton candy flavored ice cream on a stick thing.

Childrens Museum

After the Denver Zoo on the 5th, I thought I would take the kids to the Childrens Museum to play since we were already in close by. We bought a year memberships so we can go back and play more, our boys love it there. Will fell asleep in the car on the way over so he slept in the stroller for an hour of our stay there. Once he woke up I took the boys downstairs to the baby area. They have a very neat place for the babies and toddlers to play. It looks like the outdoors with fake Aspen trees and logs for them to crawl through. Joshua had fun painting, playing with bubbles, grocery shopping, and helping me build a little box for him. Joshua enjoyed the toddler area too, it was fun watching the boys play together and giggle with each other. I am looking forward to our next trip down there.

Denver zoo

On August 5th a friend of ours in Laramie invited us to go to the Denver zoo with them. They had some free passes so we drove on down to use them. We had a great time, of course the boys had a wonderful time playing. Joshua and Lucas get a long great and little Oscar is a cutie. We saw penguins, elephants, monkeys, and many other animals. Will did great in the stroller and didn't complain at all. It is so nice to live so close to Denver so we can go to the zoo, aquarium and children museum when ever we want to.

Look at the little babies!

Bounce!!

On August 4th we took the boys to bounce in Loveland, CO. When Michael was at an interview this Spring I took the boys and they had a great time so we thought we would go as a family. Joshua LOVED going down the slides and jumping around and Will had a great time going down the slides with his mommy and daddy. They even had a smaller area for the babies and toddlers to play.

Our slide

Here's are some pictures of Will playing on our new slide that I bought from a garage sale for $4.00. He loves that slide but it is now put away because he keeps getting injured on it. Maybe in a few months he will be ready for it again.
