Running through the sprinklers!

 

We had a movie night to kick off our summer vacation! Wish I could have the whole summer off work!

The first few days Grandma Anita was here we spent a lot of time running through the sprinklers and hanging out around the house since Ryan or I had to work.

     One day we went to Old Navy….and Keegan fell in love! I have a picture of Kade at this age doing the same thing! He looked at her and said, “Hi!” he was confused when she didn’t respond.

Keegan and I were looking for lizards. It’s his favorite thing to do outside. Kade was trying to catch one!       

Late Mother’s Day Dinner

We took Ryan’s mom to Applebee’s (one of her favorites) for Mother’s day…even though Mother’s Day had already past. It was a little hectic but as always, the food was good!  

Splash Pad

Grandma Anita came to visit from Montana and while I was gone to work they took the kids to the splash pad!

  

A few random pictures from May…

Kamryn changes her into clothes once I put her to bed and sometimes sneaks into Kade’s room…well just about every night.

 

She was writing with a dry erase marker in a learning book and I knew something was going wrong when she was being quiet…

I love this picture of Keegan…

 

A few pictures from Mother’s Day…

For bribery reasons I had to post this picture of Keegan who brought the dress to Ryan, asking him to help him put it on! He loved it! haha

 

Here is a picture of Kade’s 1st grade picture in the yearbook!

Sneaky sneaky!

Last night Kamryn tried to sneak out of her bed after we put her down for the night. I told her to go back to bed. I thought she did until I heard giggling. So when we went to check on her we found her here....

She woke Keegan up turned on the light and climbed into his crib to play! Little stinker! Unfortunately I didn't get a very good picture of them... I didn't want them to know how funny I thought it was.

Schools out for Summer!!!

As I went to pick Kade up from school today all I could think of was the Alice Cooper song, "schools out for summer!" I pulled it up on my phone and let him listen to it. All of a sudden I hear Kade say, "Mom, they said the A word!" I only know 2 lines of that song and didn't realize it had a swear word in it! Kade got all A's and B's this quarter! We are so proud of him! Below is a picture of him with his awesome teacher and then a picture of him getting his award!

The Last One

Shortly after Ryan and I got married I started to notice that there was always a few cookies left in the package and no matter what Ryan wouldn't eat them. Or there was just enough ice cream left in the bucket for just one serving, but again he never ate it. I wouldn't want to eat it either trying to be nice and letting him have the last one but eventually I asked him, "Why don't you ever eat the last one? Why do you always just leave the last one there in the bag?" His response (not exact but what I remember) My Mom always got mad when we ate all of a bag of something so I always made sure to leave some for her. Not just so she wouldn't get mad but to be nice too. I told him I really don't care and that he can eat the rest of something. He still (usually) leaves me the last one, which is very sweet of him. Sometimes I just have to say, "you can have the rest." so he will eat it. So now that Kade has the ability to get into the cupboard himself. Although he is supposed to ask for snacks or treats, sometimes he doesn't and just helps himself without us knowing. He would always finish off the bags. Ryan has been trying to teach him to, "always leave the last one for Mommy." Neither of us thought he would really start doing it because he just ignored Ryan's direction. Well today I walked into the pantry to get Keegan a snack and I went to get a couple Twizzlers Bites for Keegan and the bag was empty, or so I thought. There was actually ONE left. I asked Kade if he had eaten them. He said yes. Then I text Ryan and told him, "You trained him well, he left ONE in the bag in the pantry!" with a picture of the proof. Ryan's response, "I am sure that was accidental...But, I have always said the last one is always for Mommy! So I went to Kade and asked him if he knew he left one in the bag. He said, "Yes, It's for you!" like I should have known. What a nice kid! His wife is going to appreciate it one day. Thanks Ryan for being such a nice teacher and example. But really I don't mind if you do have the last one (unless it's my favorite)!
