Cool Summer Days

We've got one week left of school

and ready for lazy days in the sun.

We thought we'd get some practice in

by stayin' cool and havin' fun.

If that means sharin' popsicles

with a small sibling or two.

Then I'll ask mom for another to eat

and then share it with you!

*Simplistic poem by Summer

Goin' for a test drive.

While I was checking email I heard Tarryn and Makade laughing hysterically. As the laughter was getting louder I figured I had to see what mischief they had Kellan into. Tarryn and Makade decided to have some fun so they put 10 month Kellan on Corban's 4 wheeler. As you can see Kellan is fearless and ready to greet any new adventure head on. He now constantly crawls over to the 4 wheeler wanting on and I'm thinking we've created a monster.

One Shining Star

Make-up, dressed up, twirling and
dancing in front of tons of people....
what 9 year old girl wouldn't feel in
her element? Tarryn did fabulous for
the world to see and you never
would've guessed this was her first time
on stage! Call me biased; Tarryn was the
star that shone the brightest. Now I
know we've found her niche to show
that glowing personality where
twirling is Tarryn's forte.









Thanks Britt, for bringing your
super cool close-up lense!

Goin' to the Zoo

Lynda (Brandon's mom)

and Brittany (Brandon's sister)

were super courageous and took

the 3 under age 3 to the zoo last

Thursday so I could have a little break.

The boys had fun being with Grandma and "Aunt Bicky" they enjoyed hangin' out in their natural habitat among all the other jungle animals. They loved the train, and ran around to their hearts content, then crashed on the way home. Thanks Lynda and Britt for the much needed break. We should do it again real soon!

Potty Language

Corban enthusiastically runs onto the platform of the stairs jumping up and down like a toddler on a mission.

Corban: Mom, I want a poo!

Thrilled that the day has finally come for potty training I rush over to the stairs,

Me: You want to go poo in the potty?

With sheer disgust on his face the bouncing stops...

Corban: No. I want a Pooh on a T.V.!

Who names a bear after a bowel movement anyway?!?

Showing Maturity

We were headed out the door so I asked Tarryn if she remembered deodorant because she had her hands stuck under her armpits 'Super Star' style. She replied with a simple, "Yes." So as I'm ushering the clan to the garage, Tarryn says, "Actually Mom, I couldn't find my deodorant so I used toothpaste because yesterday I tried lotion and it didn't work." I couldn't hold in the laughter and neither could she while she's telling me how her shirt keeps sticking to her underarms! We fixed the problem and left but I'm telling ya, that one's going in her baby book!
