June Happenings

 She sure loves her books!

Proof for later that Shiloh and Kinley did like each other.

Cooper got to bring Clifford the Big Red Dog home from school for the last weekend before school was out for the summer. Cooper took Clifford on a bike ride and fed him Cocoa Puffs for breakfast.

Cooper went on a bike ride with our neighbors and came home with this beauty. He woke up the next morning with a black eye. Poor kid.

Fun times at Krispy Kreme 

I found this random picture of a butterfly on the computer. I am guessing Jeff and the kids found it. It's a pretty big butterfly.

10 months

Kinley is now 10 months! It is so crazy how much faster time has gone with her than it did with any of our other kids. She seems to be doing things fast that the other kids too. She is climbing on things. Her favorite thing to do is sit on the bottom stair. It's like she is contemplating how to climb up the rest if the stairs. I'm sure it won't be long before she really is climbing them. The other thing she seems to be doing earlier is standing by herself unassisted. She goes from a squatting position to standing with her legs bent. I am beginning to wonder if she will walk before she turns one. I keep telling her that none of my babies have walked before their first birthday and she was not going to be the exception. I am not so sure she is listening.

 She is beginning to enjoy some table foods. Her most favorite things to eat are eggs, bananas, chicken, steak, and avocado.

End of school

Mason and Cooper have had great years. They have learned a lot, made great friends, and have grown a ton both academically and physically.

As summer approaches each year, I worry about having enough fun things to do through out the summer to keep them busy. I saw on facebook or somewhere that a crayola crayon can stay lit for about 30 minutes. So I thought we would start summer off with a bang, and maybe a house fire if we are lucky. The boys thought it was pretty cool that you can light a crayon and use it as a candle, and no, we were not lucky in the house fire department.

Shock

Our friends, the Mansfields, have season tickets for the Shock. Brian took his son Aiden, Jeff, and Mason to the game last night. They got home really late. Mason was super tired this morning getting up for 9am church, but I think he wouldn't have traded more sleep for being able to spend time with his dad.

On two wheels

Exciting news on the bike front. Cooper can now ride his bike without training wheels. He worked really hard and got super frustrated at times, but he is over the moon excited about his accomplishment.
