The Saldana Zoo

It was seriously like being surrounded by wild animals. I can't believe Matthew was the quiet one here this morning. Both of my neighbors' boys were here this morning and it was nuts. I am exhausted... and I get to do it again tomorrow! We won't be on a consistent schedule until next week when school starts for the 7-year-old and I'll only have them after school then. Today I had them all morning. Oh boy.

Aside from all of that, we've been battling ants. I woke up yesterday to find them all over our walk in closet. We had to pull a ton of stuff out and spray. They were crawling all over the clothes I had folded on a shelf in the closet and all over the dresses I have hanging on one side. I have done about 5 loads of laundry so far today and still have about 4 more to go. I hate bugs. So gross.

They're so cute

Elise and my OB/GYN. I also have a picture of Matthew with the doctor that delivered him.

Passed out while waiting for everyone to be ready to go.

The other day I told Matthew to grab his cup so that we could go run some errands. Well, he did grab his cup... but he also grabbed an empty gatorade bottle, an empty bowl, and a tennis ball. Silly boy. Gilbert threw the empty bottle away before I got to snap a picture.

I've posted a lot about the Johnson family on here. I've posted several pictures of Matthew and Addilyn from the play dates we've had. Well, they decided to leave Houston and Nasa behind (Tyler worked at the Space Center). They're headed up to Chicago where Tyler will be going to seminary. We're going to miss them (I know I already do).

Me and Erin

One last pictures of the mommies and the babies. It was fun being pregnant together and watching the babies grow together, too.

Saturday morning Gilbert had to work so Matthew wanted to help Daddy out with the lawn. The first thing he did was move the sprinkler so that the lawn would get watered evenly.

Then he mowed the lawn. Too bad his lawn mower doesn't actually cut the grass.

Then he tried to take Jason's car for a spin

He loves playing with his sister

Elise recently found her thumb but she always pulls it out of her mouth when I try to get a picture. Instead, here she is sucking on some other fingers.

Elise hadn't really been making the effort to roll over. She seemed pretty content to kind of roll on to her side and then just hang out there. This is about as far as she would go.
