First half of October

October 1st half

We have had some fun recently. Oaks & Lulu are always doing well. To be honest, I have a difficult time remembering what exactly we have been doing since the last post. And obviously I need to post more so that  I have something that remembers for me!

We watched General Conference and we had perfect angles during our sessions for the most part. I do believe it was because it was what we needed and definitely not because of anything we did to help inspire that. I made Oaks some prophet and apostles cards, so that we could try to match them up to who was speaking, when it was appropriate.

We have been doing a few play dates with friends, which is super nice! One of which was to the zoo on a Saturday. Oaks has a love of the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, who can blame him? We LOVE going! Oaks and Lulu are normally perfect little angles but for some reason the zoo makes it that much more apparent. The day we went was a little soggy to say the least. It had crossed our minds to just go to Ikea instead of the zoo because of the rain.

We did in fact also go to Ikea recently, we love that place. They have the best food in their restaurant and food court. Oaks happens to love him some pizza and meatballs in gravy. They are pretty amazing! Oaks was able to get a new stuffed doggy. Chris asked him what his names was while we were still in Ikea and he had named it Jeffery. It was a little surprising to say the least but it fits well. I asked him again last week and he told me it was "No". So I guess only time will tell what his name will be, but Lulu loves it too!

Oaks has been taking like no body's business. His favorite saying as of late "that's my favorite". My response is "oh really?" Its super cute.

Potty training is going awesome! By awesome I mean, he's been willing and its all clicking in that smart brain of his. Every morning I put him into undies and ask him to got potty. We are still having accidents and small things here or there but it is completely improving! It makes me a little giddy to know I will soon have one child out of diapers.

Helpers reward! when making brownies and then building fun with daddy!
