Bandaids

Do you see the band aid on Tyler's chin?  Band aids at our house are more like stickers, they rarely get used for things that actually deserve a band aid.  But actually this time Tyler did have a cut that was band aid worthy.  The great part of it all was that it was a princess band aid that he refused to take off for 2 days and told just about everyone that looked at him that he had an "owie."  Devin tried for a day to try to get him to switch to a more manly band aid; like a cars or a super hero one, but he was not having it, it had to be the princess one.  I know that this is not a significant event in Tyler's little life, but this picture just made me smile when I saw it.  Tyler is such a sweet, loving little guy and this picture with his beautiful band aid just makes me love him even more, if that is possible!

Summer Fun

 Sadie with her cute pine cone bird feeder!  The birds loved it and Sadie and I had so much fun making it!  I have been trying to do a few crafts with the kids each week, Sadie loves to craft.

 Sadie and Tyler at the Splash Pad by our house.  They built this splash pad at the end of last summer, it is only a 2 minute walk from our house and we love it.  We have spent quite a bit of time here this summer.

 Happy Doughnut Day!

 Sadie and Tyler wanted to make a cake for Tanner for his one month birthday.  They decorated it with sprinkles and marshmallows.  Tanner cried through this whole meal and we decided it was because he was bitter that he didn't get to eat any!

The Zoo

Warmer weather means the Zoo!  My mom has a season pass to the zoo and is nice enough to take us often, my kids love the zoo.  Tanner is only 2 months and has already been twice.  They have a fun Lego exhibit this summer and my kids think it is so fun.  We are always get to go with our cousins which makes it even better.  This last time we went we saw the bird show and Tyler LOVED it.  He talks about it all of the time, he and Carson went up to the front and danced with a parrot that was head banging.  He was so happy and could not believe how close the birds were getting to him when they swooped through the theatre.  It was a fun day at the zoo.

Sadie's Gymnastics Performance

Sadie has been taking gymnastics classes the past 6 months and has been loving it!  At the end of May they had a performance, or pretty much they had their class and we got to watch up close! :)  My family was sweet and came and she loved the attention of everyone watching.  Devin looked at me part way through and said, "She is actually good!"  She walked across the tall beam without hesitation, and we laughed because she had to wait behind the girls that were nervous.  She just looked at them like what is the big deal!  Her cartwheel is getting good and she is pretty amazing on the bars. The gymnast inside of me was so proud!  Great job Sadie!

 

Sadie's Preschool Graduation

Sadie finished her first year of Preschool the end of May and to end the year they had a little performance.  It was adorable!  She has the most amazing teacher, Mrs. Young, who she loves.  She teaches them so many cute songs and I hear bits and pieces of them, but it was fun to see them all come together.  They sang a bunch of songs with actions.  Sadie's faces killed me and my favorite was her adorable bow at the end of each song.  Sadie had a wonderful year and she can't wait to start back again in the fall.
