Peanut Butter Playdough

Landon and I made peanut butter playdough the other day! This is something I have wanted to do with him for a long time, but haven't made the time to do. My goal with Kyle going back to work is to make time to do one special activity with Landon everyday, so he gets some one on one time with me. He has gotten so used to Daddy being here and taking him fishing and on adventures around our property. I can't do those things with him because it is hard to take both girls out alone and the weather is getting pretty cold. So we have been making playdough, painting and making Christmas presents for all his family. It has been fun and he really enjoys the attention. His new saying now is: "Just you and me" when he wants to do something or he says, "this is fun, I get all of your attention." Priceless!

Jamestown Train Museum

We had some errands to run in Sonora today so we called our friends to meet us at the Jamestown train Museum. We had a great afternoon exploring the gift shop and the working roundhouse. The train conductors were switching trains around the yard so we were able to see several of the trains. The kids loved playing in the leaves and even tried burying each other. It was a very fun spur of the moment afternoon!

The girls have just started holding toys and flinging them around. It is fun to watch their surprise when one of them makes a rattling noise!

4 months old!

This past week I went to upload all my pictures from the last two months onto my computer and discovered that my memory card crashed! So I have lost about 2 months worth of pictures. Let's just say I was a little disappointed. I guess that means I just have to take that many more in the month to come. Olivia and Valerie are now 4 months old! They are smiling, laughing and babbling! It is so fun to watch them grow! Olivia weighs 10lbs. 10oz. and Valerie is 11lbs. 7oz.

Landon is loving his new house. We got him a puppy about a month ago- her name is Zoe and she is a black lab/border collie mix. She is fun and they love to run and play outside together! So life is good at the Scharf house- it is great to be settled and have everyone home together!

The weekend Diane was here she brought her little girl, Kaylin who was born a day before my girls. It was fun to see the difference between her being full-term and mine being 6 weeks early. It is definately a big difference and we are looking forward to watching them grow up together!

Fun with Cooper!

Kyle went to Hume Lake for a Men's retreat in late October and my best friend Diane and two of her kids came to visit for the weekend. The boys had so much fun together playing in the creek, going hiking, canoeing, painting rocks, sword fighting and playing cars. It was a little boys perfect weekend! Landon loved having a friend here and still asks all the time when Cooper is going to come back and play at his house!
