Bugs/4th of July

Pearlridge Mall Giant Insect Safari. Thanks for coming with us Jacob!
Happy 4th of July. We celebrated at Turtle Bay. It was a lot of fun. The girls had fun playing in the princess bounce house and they loved the fireworks. We're so lucky that Taylor has so many little friends around to play with. And I'm lucky to have such awesome friends too!

We were sad Brett couldn't watch the fireworks with us. It was his opening day for his moped rentals and he did awesome, and he's still doing great. I'm so proud of him and all his hard work that he does.

A little bit of Jack

I love these teething biscuits because they keep him busy for a long time, but they are seriously the messiest things ever!

Just eating some lunch. He loves green beans, and he doesn't really want to eat baby food any more, he just wants real food or whatever anyone else if eating. He slaps his hands on the table til I give him more food. He's kind of a spaz, that's the one word I can come up with to describe him. I love his little face!
I came in to get him from his nap and this is what I found. I love love love this stage when they start pulling up on things to stand up and they think they're the king of the world. It's so cute.
My little puppy dog. He was crawling around the house with this in his mouth all morning. He thought he was pretty funny.

Jon and Kate plus 8

So after we let our other Chameleon go Brett has been wanting another one ever since, so he came home from the pet store with 2 for his birthday. 1 male and 1 female. The male is the one with the horns and yes he is shedding, kind of gross but kind of cool. Taylor says he got sunburned so now he's peeling.

So yesterday I'm checking them out and looking in the cage at the nasty poop everywhere, and I saw this little tiny baby chameleon. The female one was pregnant when we bought it and we didn't know. So I called Brett and told him and he said they usually have between 8 and 10 babies, so I keep looking around and sure enough I found 7 or 8 more. There were a couple that didn't make it :( It was crazy though I just kept finding more and more behind every leaf and branch. So we researched what they eat and how to keep them alive. So Brett runs to the pet store to get some baby crickets. It was really cool because they already knew exactly what to do, they just stick out their tounges and snatch up the baby crickets. It's so cute because they really are so tiny. I'll try to get a video of the babies eating. We're hoping we can keep them all alive, we'll see what happens. So if you live near by, stop by and check out our baby chameleons.

Can you see 3 of them in this picture above. Two in the leaves and a dark one on the ground.

8 Months!

He's already starting to pull himself up on things and standing up. It's so crazy. I still feel like he's so little. He's 8 months this week already! Time flys.

I'm not sure how old Taylor was in this picture, I think she's probably a little bit older than Jack is now but I thought it was funny that they both like to crawl under chairs. Jack does this all day long, then he gets mad because he gets stuck and can't get out. Funny kids.
