2 year and 4 year checkups
Today both boys had their checkups. Poor Alex needed two shots (we're beginning the Kindergarten series - SCARY for Mommy to think about!!!), while Zach just walked away with a lollipop.....no shots for him. I was certain they'd be poking Zach - wrong again!
Zach weighs in at an astonishing 29 pounds (though the scale was on 30 for quite some time - he wouldn't stand still enough for us to get an accurate weight) and 35 and 3/4 inches tall. (I'm going to call it 36" - it's easier.) :) His head is 50.5 cm around....which I guess is normal?!?
Alex is our lightweight, coming in at 37 pounds. He's 39.5", and his head is 57.5 cm around.
Dr. Julie did a thorough exam of each boy, and was amazed at the intelligence of Alex. She even suggested getting him tested for admittance into school early. (Luckily, we have at least another year to discuss this - it's going to be a hard sell for me....) She also commented how Zach is into absolutely everything....he even found a "Drug Dictionary" that had fallen back behind the desk - she said that they'd lost it months ago....but here our hero Zach finds it! She also said that I have a pretty special family - which I TOTALLY agree with!! :)
Hope all is well with each of you - Happy Thanksgiving! (Can't believe it's next week!)

.....except for Zach
The boy loves the tub, yet hates the sprinkler......hmmm. So we got a silly face instead.
Fun in the water!
We're enjoying our last few days of summer...and finding all sorts of water silliness in the backyard.

Pizza Hut
We went to Pizza Hut for lunch. Zach made such a mess we had to strip him down to diaper and shoes to protect the car. Hope everyone has a great Monday!

The Hot Dog Dance
Zach enjoys joining the hot dog dance at the end of Micky Mouse Clubhouse. We finally caught a video of him dancing...enjoy!

Backyard sports
Nothing new to report from us. We had a good week back, Andy's work week and meeting with his boss went well, and the boys are getting back to a routine, at least for now.
Just thought we'd post a picture of the boys playing in the backyard. Have a great weekend!
Watermelon
Just a quick pic of the boys eating watermelon in the backyard. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Yeah, it's been a long time.
I realize it has been way too long since we did one of these. Oh well...better late than never. Since our last update was at the end of March, we have a lot of territory to cover here. I will try to give a few ideas of what we've been doing month by month, but the real meat of this blog post is in the pictures. Feel free to skip ahead if you so desire.
April - Visits from both sets of grandparents, last full month of school, Christine gone to Omaha for 3 days. Work, work, work.
May - Another visit from the Bowin grandparents (plus turkey hunting with grandpa), Andy's cousin Kayla's graduation, and Uncle Dallas got engaged, Blue Springs for Aunt Sarah's Bridal Shower, ExtraORDinary Days.
June - Great grandpa and grandma Wagner visit, attempted VBS, another Frank grandparent visit, Zach moved to a big boy bed, and Sarah and Dan got married!
July - Garage sale (with HUGE success), bowling in Broken Bow, and vacation in Chicago.
That's our last few months in words. Here it is in pictures.
The boys riding the cars at the ExtraORDinary carnival.
Riding the animal train together.
Alex riding his favorite ride, the Dragon Roller Coaster.
Fun at the carnival.
The boys playing in the bouncy castle.
Learning our new toy, the slip-n-slide.
More slip-n-slide. More like 'look-at-n-squeel'.
Alex, learning to write his name on the neighbors sidewalk. Both were written by Alex.
The boys reading quitely in the kids room during Sarah and Dan's rehearsal.
Alex, driving his very own Flintstone's style cruiser.
Yabba-dabba-doo!
One night, before going to bed, we checked on the boys once more. This was Zach's sleeping position. His feet are up on his bed, and the couch/pillows caught him before he fell into the dresser.
Alex with the conductor on our train ride out to Chicago.
Lake Michigan
Our crew headed to the lake
Mommy and Alex footprints in the sand (thanks, Jennie!)
Zach is "pants-less" here....he sat in the water.
Alex throwing rocks into the lake. After we got home, we asked him what his favorite part of the vacation was.....and this was it.
Zach, also throwing rocks into the lake.
Zach and Jennie building a sand castle.
Wrigley Field....with Pujols up to bat.
Zach at the Cubs game.
Zach by the fountain at the hotel.

The boys next to a big egg at the farm exhibit at the zoo. (Yes, we travelled 700 miles to look at the "farm life" at the zoo. HA!)

Whoo-hoo! Look Mom, NO FLOOR!!
Great view!

Zach and Mommy in the 80 mph wind tunnel.
TRAINS!!
Our family (Alex is sleeping on my leg) at the Silver Palm restaurant.
Andy with his "three little pigs" sandwich.
Zach waiting for the train ride home. (He fell asleep in the car, and rather than wake him, we just took the carseat/boy combo out as one.)
Alex in his top bunk in our sleeper car on the train ride home.
