daddy's helper

Chloe wanted to help daddy mow the lawn. How can you say no to such a cute girl? Chloe is such a special gift to us. She has this little giggle that just makes everyone smile. She is so adorable! Currently she is the leading contestant for the game of who can exhaust mom the fastest with 100 questions. Its a game the kids often play.

Brodie's birthday

This year we spent Brodie's birthday camping at woodland. We had planned for Grandpa Dave and Grandma Judy to be camping right along side of us, but their trailor broke the day they were loading it and getting ready to leave. So we stayed and they came for visits. We were lucky enough that Uncle Erik and Aunt Theresa were in town at the same time for a few days so we were able to play with cousins and enjoy being away. I can't say we had a lot of sunshine because it rained the whole weekend, but it was really nice to get away and we had a great time too!

We did get 1 sunny day at the pool which was very nice, the kids love the water.

Hurt finger

Caden smashed his finger between 2 rocks. He was afraid his finger was going to fall off. We're going to end up only losing his nail. It gets worse looking every day, he likes to show me each morning because he knows it grosses me out, and he thinks that its hilarious.

Summer Recital

The girls had so much fun at dance this year. Chloe especially enjoyed her tap/ballet class. Rhyen took a cheer class, she liked it but is going to try gymnastics instead. She wants to learn back flips and front flips.
The girls had a recital on June 18th, they both did a awesome job!
Chloe got an award for the spot light dancer. It goes to the child in the class that the teacher feels give it her all. Really listens and applies what they're taught. I'm really proud of her.

What a joy Maddyn is to me! My baby is 2 and she is transitioning from baby to toddler. She is such a smart little girl. Every day its something new with her and usually just too funny. She now tells me that things are "nasty", it cracks me up. She loves to play babies and bratz/barbies with her big sister Chloe. She can't give you a high five without knuckles too. Her tiny little fist is so cute! We are slowly starting potty training, just introducing right now. She thinks its fun. We'll see.
