Camping with the Jones'

This past weekend we went camping with the Jones family. My kids were counting down the days til we could go! We had such a good time and on Saturday Ryan's dad brought up two quads. I have never seen Kiley come alive like she did that day. She LOVED them! She would hardly get off of them. She would go around and beg all of the adults to take her for rides. Wyatt had a great time but was a little more timid of the quads. Cole and the boys ran around and loved playing at the pond. My kids have never experienced that kind of dirtiness. They were filthy by the time we got home. And have never been happier. We all had the best time. I might even go camping again :) Thanks Ryan and Becca!

Silliness

Wyatt informed me the other 2 things:
1. He was going to drink lots and lots of water so that he can get huge and huger so that he can wrestle Coach Ryan and "take him down BAD!"
2. He was going to drink lots of water and sleep in his bed all night so that he can get huge and huge and humongous so he can take Kaylee on a date and they are going to the beach!
My reaction to these things is first, you better switch the water for milk or pediasure because he is still TINY! Also, I hope he asks Ryan and Becca about that first date because that is really far to travel for a first date :)
Have I mentioned that I love this kid?

Kiley's 6th Birthday!

My Kiley is now 6 years old. She is so fun and very energetic! For her birthday she wanted her room decorated in something girly and cute so Grandma and I went to town. It turned out better than I ever could have imagined. When I can get my camera working I will post some pictures on here. We finished the room just as people showed up for her Birthday Party. Mom, Dad and I painted the walls Lavender and then we put up the cutest flower curtains with matching pillow shams. there are butterflies and flowers all over the walls. I must say I absolutely LOVE it!!! We had a HUGE cake and hardly anyone showed to eat it. So, I guess I know what we will be eating for the next week. My OB is going to Love me!
Here are a few things I love about Kiley:
1. She ALWAYS has a smile on her face :)
2. She always is singing!
3. She is a great helper.
4. She loves to make others happy
5. She thinks that the fireworks every year are in her honor for her birthday! haha
6. She is and always will be my squeaker pie!
Love you sweet girl!

Swimming Lessons

We have been trying to teach our kids how to swim for a few years now. It has been very difficult especially with how sensitive Cole is. This year we finally found swimming lessons that were very reasonable so we signed both of them up. It has only been two lessons and the progress is amazing. Cole is already diving underwater to get the rings and Kiley and Cole are both trying to float. I am so glad that we found these lessons. Maybe by the end of the summer they will both be little fish!

Home Run!

During Cole's tournament game he came over to me as red as could be and said I don't feel well. I had forgotten to bring water bottles and it was about 103 degrees. I took one look at him and told him to walk away from the crowd because he looked like he was going to throw up. Sure enough he didn't walk away and threw up all over our camping chairs. Andrew showed up about 3 minutes later with a gatorade and Cole got hydrated and then wanted to go back out! He walked back on the field to hit and got his very first home run! It was incredible. He was so proud of himself and couldn't stop smiling! Talk about a comeback. It was a great game to go out on. He hit every time he was up to bat and got two RBI's. Thats my BOY!

Wyatt + Kaylee = Match made in Heaven

So...as previously mentioned Wyatt has a girlfriend. On Monday the Jones family came over for dinner and family home evening. Wyatt and Kaylee just ran around together the whole night. At the end of the night they were spreading a blanket on the floor and they would lay feet touching where their heads were coming out the ends of the blanket. Then Kaylee would get up and kiss him on the forehead to wake him up! Way too cute! After they had gone home Wyatt said the prayer. In his prayer he said "bless MY Kaylee and her brovers too" he truly hearts her. And why shouldn't he she is adorable.

Young Love

So... Wyatt is in love :) He truly loves our friends Ryan and Becca Jones' little girl Kaylee. She is so cute and about a whole head taller. The sad thing she is only 3 weeks older than he is. They are inseprable. When we go to their house he follows her around like a little puppy dog and he is always trying on her clothes (hopefully it is only a phase) :) If you ask him about her he will say thats my girly friend. We have always been concerned about Kiley and their son Jarom but apparently it is the two year olds we must worry about!
