Seth is really into shoes lately. Maybe because he has to wear them now since he is walking. Maybe because we have a huge pile to climb on. Not sure which, but he loves them. He is often found walking around with one or two in his hands.

Shoe Fetish

Faces
Joss was drawing one day. She told me she was drawing faces. I went over to see them and this is what I found. She was trying to draw smiley faces like her daddy. Hers are a little sad though.

Phoenix Children's Museum Field Trip #2
We had another opportunity to take the kids to the Children's Museum at a discount. We love going there and getting to play.
This was Seth's first time being old enough to play and have fun with all the toys and centers. He thought it was pretty awesome!
And now to the pictures!
Here is Joss and Seth riding in the pencil car.
Seth loved this marble run that used golf balls. He sat and played there for about 15 minutes straight.
This marble run went all around the room and the kids loved watching the balls roll all over the place.
I'm pretty sure this was Joss's favorite this time. She spent a lot of her time scooping up the peas and weighing them. It was very therapeutic.
Here is Seth standing on the grate where the air comes up and blows his hair all over. It took him a while to get on it but he loved it when he finally got on it.
What kid doesn't love legos!?!
Seth pushing the car.
Climbing on the climbing structure. I was so glad that I never had to climb in there are get her.
Stuffing the handkerchiefs in the pipes.
Playing the chimes.
This place is awesome! My kids love going there.

Hiding
Joss is really into hiding all of a sudden. She likes to hide in her closet, beside the couch, behind the pillows, and even in the tv stand.
New Glasses
I recently got new glasses. My plan was to get contacts and then a new phttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifair of glasses to wear depending on my mood. That didn't work out so well. :(
My eyes were fine with the contacts until one ripped and I went to get a replacement one. Now if they are in for even 30 minutes my eyes turn red for about three days. It is so sad.
On the plus side though, I did get new glasses that I LOVE!!! I got them from a site that my sister-in-law told me about. Its called zennioptical.com They have tons of frames at really good prices! I got my prescription glass for $15.00 including shipping! And I LOVE them! The only thing to worry about it making sure your script has all the information that they need to make them. Mine did so it was great!
Here is a close up of my glasses. They remind me of butterfly wings/stained glass. I love all the colors and that they are fun, but not totally crazy.

Wilkins' Family Reunion/ Labor Day Weekend
Every year for Labor Day weekend we have the Wilkins' Family Reunion up in Pinedale, AZ. We spend the weekend camping out on my Aunt Nadine's lawn. We always have such a great time there. It's great to get out of the heat for a while and there is always great food and great people to be with.
This was Seth's first long car trip, as well as his first time in his new carseat. We were really nervous about it, but he did great. On the way up he started crying about 15 minutes away from our destination. Not too bad. He and Joss actually ended up sleeping most of the way. The way home wasn't as great, but it wasn't too bad either.
It was also their first time sleeping in a tent. We borrowed a big tent and a pack 'n' play from my parents and the kids did great. Seth had a hard time the first night because he wouldn't stay bundled up and he would get cold. He did much better the following night and Joss did great both nights.
Here is Joss hanging out by the tent.
We had so much fun. There was a swing that was tied to a tree and you could run and swing around. All the kids loved it! Joss needed some help and her daddy loved swinging her high and all around. She would giggle and laugh the whole time.
Here is Raef "hiding" in the grass. He was so sure that no one could see him.
My Aunt and Uncle have chickens that they are raising. Joss loved getting to feed them the left over pancakes.
Sunday afternoon Ben, Danielle, Caleb and Raef took Joss for a ride on the golf cart.
It was during naptime and Patrick and Seth were both asleep on the lawn, so I had no responsibilities for a bit. It was so nice to just relax and read.
Ben brought up his corn hole game. You knew it had to be Ben's because of the gators logo on every piece. Joss and Seth loved putting the bean bags into the holes. Seth loved sitting on the end of it, which increased the difficulty level for Ben. :)
We also had a little family picnic. Seth really enjoyed smearing the strawberries all over his face.
Lastly, Danielle taught Joslyn the joys of blowing dandelions. Joss loved it and I think she found every single one on the property.
We had so much fun on this trip! The kids loved getting to be outdoors and the weather was perfect. We are definitely looking forward to next year!
