Fun with Friends

Yesterday, we went to Konrad's baptism and then celebrated after at the Perez household. Here's a mini photo-bomb to show just how much fun we had!
Konrad's favorite part of the day-throwing ice around in the cooler. I've never heard this kid laugh that much in his life.
And me and my little turkey :) Who, surprisingly, was quite the little Miss Social and crawled out of my sight several times to visit with all the new people ohh-ing and aahhh-ing over her curly cuteness!

Future Grocery Shopper

Thanks to Grandpa & Grandma Eppert, this lil lady is practicing her grocery shopping skills! Mostly, I think she is excited to finally have a toy she can pull up on and walk with without it falling over. And it's so cute to see her chubby little legs push it across the floor!

Of course it plays music...which Alexis LOVES! It took her a little bit to figure out how to make the music play, but once she did, she couldn't keep her little fingers off.
Cheese!! I love my new toy-thank you grandpa & grandma Eppert!!
Now all she needs is a coupon binder and she's all set! ;)

FREE!!

Another addition to Lexi's next summer stash...except this is better than my usual clearance deals-it was FREE!!!

Teeth!

This is a short post. Just a few pics of all the new teeth from this month. If July wasn't eventful enough, we got to add a new tooth to the drama every week. Needless to say, I'm very thankful for the break we're in right now...sleeping a full night is doing wonders for both of us!
Excuse the mouthful of chicken...but this picture was too cute to not post!

Turning 1=lots of poking.

This poor kid thought turning 1 was going to be a blast...little did she know she was going to be poked several times within a few weeks. Between shots, checking for iron and today's lead level screen..she is a full fledged doctor-hater. Even as we walked back into the exam room today, she already knew what those mean people were about to do and clung to mommy as tight as she could. Then screamed. Of course, she was fine as soon as the people left her alone...and now she gets to sport this sweet bandage around.
And the lady really was a nice person...and gave her a little pink puppy.

My very own..coupon binder!!

For my birthday, my sister sent me the best present ever (well, to me at least)....a coupon binder!!
I was trying to just use my little coupon organizer, but it was starting to get a tad bit crazy with all the coupons..and let's face it-you just can't organize enough until you have a million little pockets to separate your coupons!


And, to top it off, after getting the best deal around on pop for Zack, I got a $3 off coupon from CVS for my birthday! Yay, free stuff here I come!!

Blueberries

Monday we (finally) made it a point to go pick blueberries. Way out in the boonies. But we stopped at the first blueberry place we saw instead of where we were trying to go and saved ourselves $.75/lb. Yes, me the coupon freak had to put that in there. We brought Lexi's wagon for the kids thinking they would have fun riding in a wagon filled with toys, sippy cups and snacks. Boy were we wrong.

We ended up spending most of our blueberry-picking time carrying our little ones in addition to our bucket.

Next year, I will go earlier and kid-less. Although, in the end, Lexi had a blast picking some blueberries herself and attempting to eat the ones I picked out of my bucket as fast as I was putting them in.

Our sweaty babies were not pleased to go back into their carseats for the trip home. Little did they know...

...they would be passed out in no time!

We're back...hopefully!!

Hopefully I can keep up with this blogging deal this time...I figure I have some time to kill while Alexis is ferociously splashing in the tub. And speaking of my little cutie...I'm going to photo-bomb this post with pictures. I wanted some pics of her in the rocking chair I had as a kid..and ended up having to take them myself since she refused during our family photo shoot.

I love her laugh and that when she smiles, you can see it in her eyes. And that she will give you this over-the-top, ridiculous laugh for no reason.
And then the 'tude comes out and she pretends she's angry and hiding from the camera.
And then her sweet little self returns and offers to share her flower with me :) How could you not love this sweet little face?!
