Happy Friday (almost)! We hope everyone is finishing up a great week. Confused by the title of this post? Let me explain...
Lilly has had a very rough week. My best guess is that she is overtired, so she has been (very willingly) going to bed early. Still, we've had some VERY rough mornings and some VERY rough evenings... not every morning or every evening, but off and on. I didn't have the heart (or the forethought) to take any pictures of the tantrums, but here is a lovely shot of her ordering Zac out of the swing he was trying out for the first time, because she wanted her bear to sit there. That did not happen.
Through all the horrible screaming fits, I've watched Zac, who just sits and watches and is very patient, waiting his turn for whatever he needs. I've been very thankful that it hasn't freaked him out and that he is just such a mellow, easygoing baby. Then... late last night... I had a horrible thought. Zac is watching Lilly have all these meltdowns during very formidable years. What if he ends up marrying a lunatic because of it?!? These are the things that keep mommys up at night...
Lilly, though all her craziness, still has very sweet moments as well. Here she is reading a book to her baby. Ok, so at least my daughter-in-law will be a sweet, well read lunatic.
Zac is now LOVING this activity center. Jeremy and I sit at dinner and watch him, and are just in awe of his development. He can turn himself all the way around, playing with each toy on the way. One particular toy makes noise and music, and he really likes it. We watched him try and try to make the music happen, eventually being successful. Once it started, he moved on to the next toy. SO cool to see him know what makes noise and be physically able to make it happen.
While Zac is playing, Lilly is eating her dinner. Here she is doing a superb job of eating her peas with a spoon. The last couple of days she has asked for cereal and milk as her after school snack, so she hasn't eaten a great dinner. But, I figure there are worse ways for her to ruin her appetite than cereal and milk.
And one more shot of our little man. He now rolls from his back to his belly with very little effort, which is also so cool to see. They grow so fast...
Here's hoping everyone has a nice Friday!
I love you Yager!
Spencer and Lilly rode in the double stroller, while Zac was in the single. These two look like twins (no prior planning was involved with the outfits).
Ahhh the giraffes... my personal favorite! 
And, feeding the ducks! I took a few great pictures of Natalie, Michael and Spencer. Unfortunately, I realized later, that all the pics of them I took were on their own camera. So, here is Michael's profile and Natalie's legs.
A closer look at the "twins."
Here's me and my girl =)
And this was Zac's zoo experience. It is pretty similar to his last zoo experience. He did wake up at the very end, and seemed to enjoy being outside. 
The kids loved running around in the grassy area near the snack bar.
And the drive home looked very similar to most post-zoo drives.
When I took this picture, and thought about how it compared to the pre-zoo drive, I noticed ... no purse =( Oh well, she hasn't noticed yet!
What a fun day!
Yum!
1 minute later, he is quietly looking a little less satisfied.
And about 26 seconds later...
Meanwhile, Lilly is (mostly) back to her happy self. We have been going to bed earlier, which seems to help. She did end up losing it tonight a little bit, but it was when Jeremy started getting her ready for bed, which probably reminded her that she was tired. Here she is with a book that she had been looking at.
And here she is in her new booster chair at our house. She's had a booster at my parent's for a while now, but until today she was still in a highchair at home. Jeremy and I decided to move her to a booster for a couple reasons. First, she suddenly started wanting to sit in our chairs at the table and eat. Also, we figured that this way the highchair can "go away" for a few months and then come back when Zac is ready for it - this way she doesn't think he's "kicking her out" of the highchair. Instead, she's just graduating to a big girl chair.
Finally, this picture was taken yesterday in the sunglasses that Lilly picked out.
I hope everyone's week is off to a great start :)

Zac got a basket too, but this is just a picture of him watching Lilly.

And the Easter Egg hunt! Lilly was wearing her super cute "Princess" dress from grandma & grandpa Yager. She had a blast looking for and finding lots of eggs. I think there were 20-ish eggs hidden in Palmer Playland (previously known as Lilly Land - now Palmer Playland is more PC due to Zac and Shyla). Based on the number of times eggs fell from her basket and she got to rediscover them, she probably found 50 eggs. Pretty good stuff! I took SO many pictures - here are just a few!
Giving grandpa a warning "no no" - he obviously did something wrong...
Right there!!
Jeannette helping Lilly find a particularly elusive egg.
My uncle Pete couldn't be here, because he is in Las Vegas for a bowling tournament. When we came inside from the egg hunt, we realized that the tournament was televised, and there he was!
There was lots of cheering and yelling! 
Lilly wanted to give Zac an egg, which was very sweet. She gave it to him while he napped.

I don't have a picture of the other BIG news story of the day...
