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!

Little League

We have finally completed our little league season. There are two more tournament games but we will be eliminated soon. Cole did a fantastic job in his first season of Coach Pitch! He got quite a few hits and in some games not so much :) He is a great fielder though and stops almost anything that comes his way. We had a lot of fun this season and got to know some really good friends. I am glad that we were able to participate this year. I was the team mom and it was pretty hilarious because I am not so organized and some of the moms are SUPER organized! I drove them nuts being so relaxed and chill about the whole situation. It was fun though and Cole loved having me do all the things for the team. I had to make a basket filled with goodies to be auctioned off and mom and I made a banner for the team. I thought it was quite adorable. I should have taken a picture of it! Maybe I will. Anyway, I am glad it is over and had a great time. See ya next season!

OH BABY!

So, I am so excited to be having another baby. It came as quite a suprise. Andrew was already talking vasectomy and I wanted another baby so badly. Then the news came and it is true. I have seen the heartbeat! I went to the Dr. and she said that I was due on December 8th. Then I had my ultrasound. They do that a lot because of my BIG anemia problem...I am considered high risk. The ultrasound technician told me I am not due until Christmas Eve! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? That is a huge discrepancy but all I care about is that it is healthy and hopefully a girl ;) I'll take a boy too but Kiley really wants a sister. The kids are so happy that they are doing most of my chores! Kiley doesn't want me to overdo it. We are so happy to have this addition to our home!

Monumental Week

So...this has been quite the week for the Knudsen family! First, my little Wyatt gave up his binky cold turkey! This is an amazing feat for us. Cole had his until he was 4 1/2. I am so proud of him. Wyatt just walked to the garbage and threw it in saying "momma I'm a big boy!"

The other amazing thing that happened is that Cole who is now 7 1/2 was at the Crawfords on thursday and Heather said Cole you want to learn to ride a bike? He was so nervous but in about 20 minutes he was really getting it and within an hour he had it down! This is huge in his life because he has major balance issues because of his eyes. He must really trust Heather! I was so proud of him. I was jumping up and down like an idiot. Now, he rides like he has been riding for years. I love how confident he is now!

Cole's other big news is that he was in a baseball game and hit all three times he was up to bat and he made it in twice. He was so proud! It was truely an awesome game. I just love it when things work out and all is well. Cole really needed those hits. He was really getting discouraged and now he can't wait to go to baseball! Yea!!
