Funny

Yesterday Elizabeth got in trouble and so when I went to talk to her she lost her temper and ran to her room and yelled, "I am going to my room and I am never coming out!"  I just let her cool off and didn't go after her and about five minutes later she opens her door and yells, "MOM, did you hear me??? I said I was NEVER coming out!"  I still let her wait and about five minutes later, "Mom...... aren't you going to come and talk to me?"  I thought it was funny, and by the time I went and talked to her she was back to normal and ready to go back to playing. 

Happy Fourth

 We stayed home this fourth of July, which we have not ever really done.  The whole day felt so weird to me and I kept thinking about the times of the activities we would have been doing... but saying home wasn't so bad.  It was nice to just hang out and relax while the kids all had a ton of fun playing in the water with cousins. 

 

 Alexis was so excited because she caught a monarch butterfly with her bare hands. 

 Ryan was a little tired because he had stayed up the WHOLE night before fishing with some friends.  It was supose to be a great time for fishing but didn't really turn out to be true.  But he still had a good time I think.

 Adison put on these glasses and she ran around being funny and she knew she was funny. 

 The kids are being told the RULES of the slide so they don't break this one.  We have bought one each year and they have all torn or just stopped working. 

 Brytlee LOVES Kate.  she asks to have her over every day

The kids had a ton of fun and so did we.  It is always nice to have a bbq and talk to adults and just hang out.  That night we did sparklers and a few little fire crackers.  I have not done that in forever so it was fun. 

The many faces of Adison

 Adison is so funny!  She has such a BIG personality and is always doing something to keep me going.  I forgot how busy they keep you at this age.  The last week or so I have felt like I have not been able to get much done, and she is into everything or wanting to go outside, and just really busy.  She is talking like crazy and can say most anything.  She has her own little language she will speak still and it is so cute.  I love when she wants to eat something she will say.  "za za za zah mmmmmmhhhh"  The faces she has been making the past few weeks are great.  She has started saying "Cheese" when she see's the camera so she has gotten good at smiling.

 This is, OOOOhhhhh, or wow face. 

 Another "cheese" face

 this is... I know I am cute!

 She did one of her "Za ah za zha.... ha ha ha ah ha"  it is like she is telling a story and a joke at the same time. 

 Adison has decided that she no longer wants my help with anything.  She has to feed herself, she wants to drink out of a cup NOT a sippy cup.  She wants to put her own shoes on, and do everything on her own.  She is such a messy kid, and if she is eating and doesn't like it.... she just chucks it across the room. 

 She has not wanted to wear the cute little head bands that look adorable on her for a long time now.  But she does enjoy putting other things on her head..... like these underwear.

I find her putting these on her head more than I should.  She is such a funny girl, and such a sweet heart.  Something new that she is doing that is so funny.  When we are outside if she gets dirt on her hands she has to have them washed right away.  She comes up to me and say's,  "it yucky"  over and over.   She will also do that if she is sticky or has food on her hands.  She loves to put lotion on.  She calls it "rub ub" and when I put it on her hand she will rub it all over her head like she is washing her hair.  She has gotten really good at singing happy birthday and I can understand most of it when she is singing.  She also loves to do ring around the rosies and sings it pretty well also.  This girl LOVES to dance.  Anytime she hears any music she will start shacking her arms and her head.  She is such a cute little dancer. 

Lost another tooth

Brytlee has lost ANOTHER tooth.  this is her third tooth and she just turned five in February.  The last time we went to the dentist he said that she was "  very Advanced" for her age.  (when it comes to her new teeth coming in)  he said she could have most of her new teeth by the time she is six..... crazy!!!

 I think she looks so cute with her little missing tooth.  It just makes her look so grown up.... it makes me a little sad.  

This was what Brytlee picked out to wear for Fathers day.  She came down so excited and Ryan said he liked it.... and it was his day so we let her wear it for the day.  But then she put it on again the next day and I had to put my foot down.  I don't know where my kids get there matching skills, but at times it makes me a little nervous. 

Cute letter

I thought this letter was so cute.  It if from Alexis to Elizabeth.  It is so nice to see that they really do love one another.  There is nothing better than watching them play and get along and laugh together.  I know they will most likely fight in the next few seconds, but it is nice while it last.
