99 days and Counting

Today I officially only have 99 days to go til this baby makes his appearance. WAHOO! It is so close and yet so far away. We are all getting so excited. Wyatt talks to the baby and then if he sees him kick he will flick my belly saying "Be nice to our Mama!" It is so endearing to me. I find it funny that I have to tell him to be nice to his brother when they haven't even met! Too cute.

Makutu's Island

Last night we went to Makutu's Island with our friends the Berky's. We had so much fun! Wyatt and Kiley are obsessed with Lorelei. Cole was pretty nervous about going so high. We went last week with the Jones' and they are much more brave than our Cole so this time we let him go at his own pace. In the end he did EVERYTHING! There is a bridge that is so high and Cole took Wyatt across. What a good big brother. The funny thing was watching Wyatt push Cole along :) Gena and I got to sit and watch all the kids (including Doug and Andrew) run around above us. Thanks for going with us!

Cole

So, Cole will be 8 in November and last night he FINALLY lost his first tooth! Isn't it crazy? He should have been losing teeth a long time ago but I guess they like him :) He wouldn't let me pull it out and I couldn't take the screaming if I made him. So we let him do it his way. The other tooth is 1/3 of the way in already too. Kiley threw a big bouncy ball at him last night and it hit him in the face knocking his tooth out. He didn't cry. He was too excited to get mad. It was awesome. He called everyone he could think of to share his news.

Labor Day

We had a great Labor Day! Andrew decided that he would rearrange the garage so that we could fit the suburban in it. While he was out there working the kids were outside with all of the neighbor kids having water fights, riding bikes, jumping on the neighbors trampoline. You name it they did it. All this time I got to sit inside and read a book. Ahhh perfection. After we got done we went and got Dilly Bars at Dairy Queen and then went to the Jones' house for a barbeque. It was a great holiday!

Out with the Old...

Well we have been talking about getting a bigger car for a few months but we didn't think it would happen so fast or that we would love it so much. I have never been one to LOVE huge cars but I must say I love our new Suburban! It is so roomy and the kids love it. Our highlander was great but we realized that once we have our baby we can't fit a stroller in the back of the car :( We bought a 2005 white suburban that has limo tint in the back that Kiley says is "romantic" :) She cracks me up. It also came with a dvd player with wireless headphones. I never knew a car ride could be so quiet. It really is great and we LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

I Love this KID!

So...this morning I could hear Wyatt and Cole talking. Cole kept bugging Wyatt taking whatever he was playing with and then doing this evil laugh. Wyatt came running into my room with Cole following him and said "SEE THAT IS WHY I LOVE SCHOOL" "Mom get in the car!" Wyatt loves being home and having mommy time. We play with legos, we play with lincoln logs and mose of all we play with his new cars! He loves them. I never seem to get it right though. He is always telling me what I am supposed to say as my car. :) He really cracks me up.

The kids love love love school! Kiley has Mrs. Castillo but has yet to meet her. She just had a baby and won't be back for 8 weeks. Cole has Mr. Maclay and loves every minute of it. Even though he picks on Cole! He loves to be at school learning and playing and trying new things. I finally feel like I am getting my sanity back.

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!
