A fun weekend with Big Dada and Mimi!

Well...I am sticking to my plan and updating on a Monday! WOOHOO! We had a really fun weekend hanging out with Big Dada (so cute that he calls his Grandad that) and Mimi :) Big Dada left today but we have Mimi ALL week! Even though they live so far away, we feel so lucky to get to see them every couple of months.

They got here Friday night and enjoyed a VERY yummy dinner out. On Saturday we headed up to The Anthem Train Park. It was such a CUTE park! A lake, playground, splash pad, train ride...mom's group...we need to carpool and make it a playdate! Evan had a blast riding the train, watching the ducks, seeing kids fly kites, and playing at the park. After that, we headed to the outlets (Chris and I want to move up north but I am not sure we can live that close to outlets...AH!) and shopped for a little while. Everything is a little bit more of a procedure with TWO but the day went GREAT! We topped off the day with a yummy sushi dinner! (yeah no pics of this day...Nancy and I both forgot our cameras!)

On Sunday morning we got up bright and early to head to the WW Zoo for the penguin feeding (bright and early? TEN O'Clock! LOL).

The Zoo is just about Evan's FAVORITE place because it is home to his giraffe friends! After feeding them several "treats" we walked around and saw lots of other cool animals!

After the whole family took naps, we spent some time enjoying the beautiful AZ weather! Evan LOVES his "pirates" water table and we layed out and worked on our tan.

Then once Evan got some dry clothes on we did a little family photo shoot! Trying to get two kids to look and smile for the camera is ALOT of work...LOL.

Fam of Four

With Mimi and Big Dada

I am sorry Big Dada...I couldn't resist!

Ok...really Evan???!!! Check out the little smirk!

YAY Finally...CHEESE!

3 Generations of Lindberg Men!

What do you think...don't they all look pretty similar?!

And a video of the giraffe feeding, featuring my loud and annoying voice in the background!

What it has been almost a month?!

Ok...well....after seeing that it has indeed been almost a month since my last post...I think I am going to dedicate EVERY Monday to blog update day! I have been so good about keeping up the photo of the day so maybe if I have a dedicated day each week...I will do better :)

I feel like time is just flying right now! Our weekdays seem to go so fast! Wake up, feed Ainsley, change diapers, get everyone dressed, breakfast, usually gym or park or another fun thing, feed Ainsley, diaper change, fix lunch, diaper change, nap time, feed Ainsley, dishes, laundry, housework, diaper change, feed Ainsley, up from nap, diaper change, snack time, play outside or in playroom, get prep done for dinner, feed Ainsley, diaper change, go for a walk/jog, get call that Daddy is on his way home, fix dinner, clean dishes, feed Ainsley, baths/showers (Evan will now do a shower...it's how a giraffe does it LOL), jammies, books, bed time, TV time, feed Ainsley, BED and then at about 6am...it all starts over :)

So our days are pretty crazy! And even though I think I am out of the "survival phase"...I usually don't feel like I get much done other than taking care of the kids :)

Weekends have also been really busy! Lots of little jobs around the house, birthday parties, and family outtings!

Here is Evan on Saturday at a Dillards Prom Fashion show! This one LOVES the spotlight! Later that night we went to watch a band at Desert Ridge and he was dancing like crazy! Mimzy...don't you have pics of that??!! I couldn't get close enough with Ainsley :)

At Desert Ridge, listening to music :)

Me and Cheska :)

LOVES riding in the stroller with sissy!

Last Sunday, we got to go do something really cool! One of Todd's friends owns airplanes and restores them for people. His last one he sold to the director of Lord of the Rings...we thought that was PRETTY cool! So anyway...we went up to Deer Valley to see his newest project. Oh and we also saw a MIG which was crazy!

Well...I just couldn't resist trying this jacket on Evan!

His first airplane toy! The waitress at the restaurant gave it to him! He LOVED making it fly!

Sipping some coffee...

Playing with another little toy plane from the gift shop...it has a shark on it...so of course he had to have it!

Hmmm...a big hole....

Ainsley slept through the tour!

The plane

OOOOOO AHHHHHHH

A few fun snapshots of the kids :)

Christian always does this to her! Little unicorn!

Handsome man!
I am sorry I could NOT resist this pout!




CHEESE!

Mother-Daughter pic!

Sweet Ainsley Girl...Can you believe she is 3 months old?! AH! A quarter of a year! We don't have a doc appt until 4 months so, I don't have an update on what she weighs, etc but she is doing GREAT! Getting to be a little chunker just like her bubba! She smiles ALL the time and now giggles too! She LOVES peekaboo! She rolled over the other day from her back, which was crazy! She is losing her hair so thank goodness for headbands :) Christian thinks it is going to be blonde but I am sticking with my brown vote...her eyebrows are dark. She coos and talks alot and when she gets really excited her legs start kicking like crazy! Still not very independent though :) Does not like the swing or bouncer unless she is sleeping LOL. LOVES being held and LOVES the Bjorn....so she spends quite a bit of time in it! Her reflux continues to improve and I am hoping it doesn't fire up again at 4 months (doc said that is when it is usually at its worst). She is such a sweetie and just wants to be around everyone at all times :) She can be a little diva...but we don't really help the situation much because we give in everytime...I still think she is a little young to cry it out and there is no such thing as spoiling a baby...RIGHT? :)

And most of you know...we call pretty much everyone in our fam a nickname...I mean, Evan rarely goes by EVAN :) Ainsley has a few...peanut, Ainsley Girl, Nay-Nee, Ains, Sweetness, sissy...

She does really enjoy her exersaucer!

He is everywhere she is! Very rarely leaves her sight! I LOVE IT! She is the first person he asks for in the morning...tear.

Sassy mama!

My Little McCutie!

So precious!
