Believe it or not, even with as many posts as we have had this month I still have so much more I did not get a chance to document yet...Since we are fast approaching the end of June I figured I would do a short version of some of the fun things we have been able to enjoy with the kids...Well, that would of course mean lots and lots of pictures!
The first week I was out of school my best friend Leslie from AZ came down to visit for a few days. We met while going through our very intense teaching program at ASU and we have been best friends ever since. Les is a kindergarten teacher so it was obvious that Luka and Mia's warm up period was very short..... They both enjoyed Aunt Essie and all the fun things we got to do that week. Here are a few pictures....
Luka and Essie (Leslie) making lunch...they bonded over their love for chicken dino nuggets
Les was such a huge help with the babies that week...while I got to take naps with Luka she took care of Mia...this day they needed a nap too :)
Kisses for Essie
Next, we got to celebrate Miss Alix's birthday with our second family (best friends from college). Luka and Mia had a blast playing with Alix and Emma and we (the adults) all enjoyed getting together. Thanks Zach, Ang and Alix for throwing awesome parties and having us over.

He had a blast!
Here we go again!

These next few pictures are from our playdate with Haley, Landon, Cassi, Korben, Stacey and Max which I mentioned in a previous post.

We also enjoyed a playdate with my friend Maria and her daughter Emma who is only 6 months older than Luka Bear.
Mia was so excited to play with Emma
Hanging out in the playroom's reading tent
Luka doing his "thing" - trying to give sugars about 20 times in a row...
This month we also enjoyed our morning walks...playground fun....eating at "the big boy table" in the playroom....smelling the flowers....the new splish and splash pool with cousin Dea...taking Abby for walks...learning to floss...learning to feed ourselves... and the highlight of the MONTH - sleeping in our own cribs....
Watching the cars drive by while riding the "orsie"
