"MOM, I CLEANED UP MY TOYS!"

SEE!
I wa playing songs on my keyboard when out of the corner of my eye I saw something similar to this.

Just Passing Time

I found Seth in the car seat yesterday. I was snuggled up in it more, but of course once the camera came out he had to pose.
Zac looks really sweet, right? He's just happy because that cell phone is permanently his. He found it on the couch yesterday, and when came in and took it away, drool was dripping out of it. Yup it doesn't work anymore. Luckily we still had Ryan's old phone. Unfortunatley for me, he gave it to Seth. When the lady at Verizon said she couldn't fi mine and I asked Seth for the blue phone, he had the biggest tantrum. He cried the entire time and on the way home to because now he has to share his phone. He's finally agreed that I can use for "a little while."
Seth wanted me to take this picture of him being silly. It reminds me of a mix between a pig and armadillo nose.

Just Another Day!

Zac had his 9 month check up. He's now 22 lbs. And 30 Inches tall. However I'm not sure the guy measured the height right, so I'll have to do it here at home later. Seth wanted to dress up in camo with Zac. Aren't they cute? I got some e-mails from Ryan on Tuesday also. He is doing fine. He's been really busy. We still don't have definate orders, but when we do I'm sure you'll all here about it.

Sleeping in Living Room

On Satruday Seth asked me if he could sleep downstairs. I told him yes thinking he'd sleep on the couch, but then he asked if Zac and I would sleep downstairs with him. So we blew up Seth's air bed, and set up the living room. Seth and Zac went crazy. They were climbing all over the cushions that I put on the floor for Zac to sleep on. It is so exciting to see how much Zac interacts and plays with Seth.
This is where Zac slept. It's the couch cushions on the floor next to the couch. He rolled onto the pillows on the left in the middle of the night.
Seth sleeping. As you can see he like to take Zac's sippy cups and claim them for his own.
Earlier we played with playdoh. Seth loved the "spaghetti" maker. We are all doing good. Just trying to make time go by faster while Ryan is gone.

Riding Bikes!

Today we enjoyed the nice weather outside. Zac loves to be pushed on his quad. He is starting to stand unassisted too. I gave him some small pieces of sausage today. He loved it. He is now nine months old.
Today is the first day that it really started to sink in that Ryan has left for a while. Seth has become really possessive of really strange things. For example, Daddy was showing him the words on the box that our pool came in before he left. If Zac touches the box, Seth freaks out. It's just a box. Seth has learned the tune to "Iron Man" by Ozzy. He hums it all the time, everywhere we go.

Good-bye

Daddy left for sea today. We went to the park to watch the boat leave.
Zac loves to swing. He throws the biggest temper tantrums when you take him out. If you look closely you can see his two "vampire" teeth.
Seth enjoyed playing on the pirate ship with the other kids.
The sub in the center in between to two small white boats, but it's hard to see in this picture. Seth and Zac say "Good-Bye Daddy!"

Hakuna Matata!

"I want to play outside too!" Zachary tries really hard to get through the window. We try to keep him away from the heaters, but I had to take this picture first. I have a feeling that when it gets cold again and I turn the heaters back on, someone's little fingers are going to get burned.
This is a pictures that Seth took. With all the crazy pictures he takes he somehow always manages to get one really good one.
It was super hot yesterday, so we had our friend Chase over to swim. He's almost two, and Zac almost his size.

Catching UP!

We were at a friends house last night for a kids birthday party, and Seth was running around with his friends and tripped into an end table.
What a pretty black eye. Luckily we didn't have to go get to the ER. We did have the help of an RN who was there.
Ryan did have his brithday this week! We went to eat dinner at Red Robin. Followed by Oreo Blizzard Cake. MMMMMM.
Seth with spiked hair. In the background Ry's new Guitar Hero Aerosmith Game.
Last but not least. We are starting to tuck Zac into bed. He was so mad the first night he screamed standing up in the corner of his crib for twenty minutes. This is how we found him asleep. He still get pretty angry with us, but we're down to about ten minutes of screaming now.
