oh, zachary.

oh my goodness. i don't know how appropriate this story is, but i found it too amusing and wanted to write it down before i forget...

i was putting zach to bed, leaning over to kiss him (i was wearing a tank top) , when his eyes went down, then up. he made a little "hehehe" laugh. he reached up and touched me.

me: zach, what are you doing?

z: i'm touching your boob.

me: no, we don't do that.

z: why not? i like to.

me: you are just not allowed to do that yet. (i don't know why i added the yet part.)

z: oh, when i'm 4 i can do it?

me: uh, no, you have to be married to be able to do that.

z: oh, so when i'm married i can touch your boob?

being silly

tonight the kids were playing together so well i just got out the camera and took a few pictures. nothing brings joy like when you hear your kids tell each other that they love them without any prompting from anyone. zach and kenzie love to cuddle together... i just wish it could be like this all day!!

random

a few random pics for you... somehow, my two girls have had very little hair for the first 2 years of their lives, while zach had an abundance of thick curls. anyways, here is my first attempt at pigtails for kenzie... she did good while i did it, but they didn't last super long, because as you can see, they are the smallest little tails you've ever seen!!

she sure did look cute, though. i can't wait till she'll flash her earth- shattering smile for the camera!

bath time is a favorite in our house.... all 3 take a bath together, and they have so much fun (you'd never know it by k's face here...)!zach my handsome boy.and for those of you who don't have a facebook account... here is what i look like right now. i've got 3 months left! stacy will deliver in a month...

great wolf lodge

this weekend we went t0 the great wolf lodge for 2 nights. it really is a great vacation for families. if you didn't want to, you would really never have to leave the grounds. there is tons of stuff to do for everyone.... a spa, (for moms and one for little girls!), a craft place, an arcade, a computer room, starbucks, restaurants, and lots more. but of course the main attraction is the water park, which was really spectacular. the kids just ate it up.... they had the time of their life. here are a few pictures of my little fishies... i really was amazed at how well audrey and zach were swimming! the kids area was so great with a couple of fun slides!

even kenzie went down them!

brian's attempt for a cute photo shoot... audrey is in a stage where she tries to be very proper or something...

and kenzie will rarely look at the camera or smile....

and of course zach just smiles away with his whole heart!

warming up in the hot tub with daddy.

having a blast in the hotel room. it will be a lot more fun to stay in one when kenzie is a little older... she completely freaks out when she wakes up and doesn't know where she is. needless to say, the first night was pretty sleepless for brian and i (and her). we were all tired the next night, which made for a better night. but i love this picture because it shows how much fun they all had!

in the kids area they had these for the kids to sit on ... they don't move, but they do spray people with water! love the sheer joy on zach's face.

ooooohhhhh, audrey....

here's a funny little conversation brian and audrey had the other day:

audrey was telling brian that a little boy had kissed her on the cheek at mothers day out the other day, and of course brian wasn't happy about it.

B: we don't kiss boys until we get married, right, audrey?

A: right.

B: and how old do you have to be before you get married?

A: 29

B: that's right, honey

(pause)

A: (excitedly)i know daddy! i've got a great idea!! i'll find the boy i want to marry, and then we'll just be roommates until i turn 29!

at this point, mommy jumps in

C: well, that's not how it works honey.........

potty training!

well, they say to start when the child is ready, but i don't think that i am! kenzie is only 21 months old... much younger than the other 2 were! but when brian got the potty down for her (because many days she refuses to wear clothes or a diaper), she loved it. she loves to sit on the potty! i mean, look at that face! and this is the child that doesn't like her picture taken. she has gone a few times in the potty and i try to make a big deal, but it is nothing consistent. this is possibly the part she really likes- wiping and throwing it into the potty and flushing.... sorry you can see zach's feet on the potty as he pooped. they had a great time going potty together.
