Happy 4th of July (a month late)

Last year was great and this year confirmed it - I think Lake Oswego is one of the best places to celebrate the 4th of July. Every year the town hosts multiple events, including my favorites the 4th of July parade (which this year we watched instead of participating in) and fireworks over the lake. One of the nice things about our home and having children that are too young to stay up for the show is that we can see the fireworks from our back deck (as pictured). Ideally, it would be great to be in a boat on the lake for the fireworks, but the deck is a great alternative.

That's How We Roll

Oh, the fun we have in the Peppmeier household. Will and Jack are really starting to play together. They are definitely interested in the same toys - or maybe if one has something the other just wants it. Here they are partaking in one of their favorite activities. The other day Jack put Will's helmet on and sat on the back of the bike for almost five minutes just waiting for Will. I realize this it not the safest activity especially for Jack but he hangs on for dear life and they both laugh and have so much fun.

All About Legos

Remember when you where young? There are those toys that really stand out. The ones you spent so much time playing with. Right now Will is really enjoying his legos. Thankfully there are plenty of them so he lets Jack play as well. He's really into building airplanes and towers. Guess which one this is? Also, he really prefers to have Mommy or Daddy sitting with him when puts stuff together. It's so much fun to see his mind at work.
