The pictures

This was our trip to the zoo last week. We unexpectedly got to hook up with Ben and Amy too! Eric took the photo shoot I did of them last week with him on the camera to CA, but more to come next weekend!

Once again, I am a blog slacker...

I've searched through our pictures and found that I haven't really taken much since Easter. Yes, we had Mavi's preschool program, but all of the photos are dark and none really have the kids in them. I really don't take the camera often because I'm wrangling 3 little ones and who has time to pose them all, find the camera, turn it on, focus it and take a picture? Really... I think I need to just hire a photographer to follow us around. Cari, are you busy this summer? ;) We've been hanging out at home, gathering worms and bugs, and playing outside a lot. I'm putting Mav and D in a swimming lesson once a week starting next week at our neighborhood pool. I'm excited to see how that goes. Poor Keenan is still just a few months too young to join in and I'm sure I will have a sad boy on my hands while Mav and D are in swim class. Keenan is growing up sooooo fast and is constantly telling me "I'm the big boy and Mavi's the baby." We have tried potty training, but this basically consists of him sitting on the potty chair, getting up and peeing on the floor. Boo. We'll keep trying, but in the meantime I need to get some good carpet cleaner. Mavi is loving summertime and not having to go to school. Occasionally he'll ask if he has to go to school, but doesn't seem to miss it too much. He is finally pedaling his Diego bike and his two wheeler, but sometimes gets confused because it has pedal brakes and he just stops. We have a couple of big trips planned for July. One in the beginning to go to Iowa. This one will be just me and the little guys. On a plane for the first time for Keenan. Mavi has only been on a plane once before as a baby. We'll see how it goes. I think they'll love it! I just need to get a helper to carry carseats. The second trip is a family vaca to San Antonio, TX. We're going to meet monkey and his wife, and Ben and his family. Should be a good time. Sea World and the zoo are our major excursions. I will take some photos TODAY and put them up at naptime.
